Favs: Single Hole Punching Tools

*No particular order
  • The Paper Studio Single Punches come in 1/16, 1/8, & 1/4 (3 different sizes to make your own punchinella)
  • Crop-a-Dile Power Punch -- sizes 1/4 and 1/16 -- sturdy and punches through chip board and book binders board
  • PaperPro One Hole Punch -- 1/16 hole -- not a lot of pressure needed
  • Fiskars 1/4, 1/8, 1/16 Hole Punch -- nice comfy handle
  • Grainger Hole Punch -- the one my hubby has -- easy to punch with and can punch several sheets at once
  • Fiskars Everywhere Punch -- this one was most fascinating to me, but the circles are HUGE!!!

Fodder: Journaling Stamps

I love using simple rubber stamps in my art journal and this year, in my planner as I complete the #documentedlife project. I have lots of stamps and last year I started making a lot of hand carved stamps, so my collection is growing. But I'm listing a few of my tried and trues. The RedLead and L2E stamp sets were given to me by a friend and I just adore them.

Ghost Kitten (AKA - Nicole Piar) -- this woman rocks!!!
Soleil Summer -- Just met her in Blick -- LOVE LOVE LOVE her work. And, she seems like a pretty rad human being.
Jeanine Henderson -- LOVE her hand lettering.
Jerry Pinkney -- When I taught middle school I learned of Pinkney's work through books I read to my students and I immediately fell in love with it. I think I paid more attention to the illustrations than the words in the books.

My favorite hole punching tool is my Japanese screw punch. (My set came with six sizes, but I see most come with three these days.) My daughter-in-law got a plastic one by Martha Stewart for around $25.00 that has three tips to choose from and they store inside the handle. It's a great tool.

Rita!! I LOVE the Japanese screw punch. I don't own one (lost it at a workshop), but it's on my list of things to purchase. That would be an awesome way to make your own punchinella. Thanks for sharing.

 I love the Japanese screw punch! By the way, it has always been a desire for me to learn how to make creative stamps. It was taught during high school days. Unfortunately, I failed to get the whole process of doing that because I am not a creative person to begin with. But since you are teaching us step by step on how to do it, I might learn it from you starting now!
