Paper punch DP Craft 3.7 cm decorative maple leaf, model 581019

DP Craft 3.7 cm decorative paper punch in a maple leaf shape is a handheld tool designed to create precise cutouts for paper crafts. The punch cuts a single maple leaf silhouette with a 3.7 cm diameter and is intended for use with cardstock, standard paper and other thin craft materials. Its compact body and lever mechanism allow repeated, consistent impressions for scrapbooking, card making, gift tags and small decorative accents.

Advantages

The punch delivers clean, well-defined edges and consistent shapes with each use, reducing the need for trimming or finishing. Its compact size makes it easy to store or transport, and the ergonomic lever provides comfortable operation for repeated punching. Because it is built for thin materials like cardstock and paper, it minimises tearing and waste when used within recommended thickness limits.

Suitable for

• Scrapbooking and memory books
• Handmade greeting cards and invitations
• Gift tags, confetti and party decorations
• Paper layering, collage and mixed-media accents

Key specifications

• Cutout shape: maple leaf
• Cutting diameter: 3.7 cm
• Compatible materials: cardstock, standard paper, thin craft materials
• Operation: manual handheld lever punch
• Output: single silhouette per punch stroke

How to use

Place the sheet of paper or cardstock flat into the punch opening aligned with the cutting area, then press the lever down firmly until the die cuts through the material. Release the lever and remove the cut shape and any small waste pieces from the collection area if present. For layered designs, repeat the punching process on additional sheets and arrange the pieces as required. Inspect the punched edges and, if needed, trim any minor fibres that remain on thicker paper.

Usage recommendations

Use only suitable materials within typical craft-paper thickness to avoid jamming or damage. For best results, avoid stacking more than one or two sheets of cardstock at once unless the punch is specified for multiple-sheet cutting. Clean the cutting die occasionally by removing trapped fibres and paper fragments to maintain consistent punches.
