How to use

Align the paper or cardstock under the punch opening so the area to be cut is positioned beneath the cutting plate. Press the lever firmly and evenly until the cut releases; lift the lever to remove the punched shape and the waste piece. For thicker cardstock, position the material carefully and operate with steady pressure to ensure a full cut. When working on a series of identical shapes, use the punch as a template guide to keep placements consistent across pages or cards.

Usage recommendations

For best results use paper weights and cardstocks within the tool's intended range; avoid forcing very thick or laminated materials. Clean any small paper remnants from the cutting area regularly to maintain clean cuts. Store the punch in a dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve plastic parts and color fidelity.
