EK ToolsPunch for Arts and Craft, Large, Heart

By far, EK makes the best quality punches available on the market. I’ve spent and wasted so much money over the years on crappy punches that do not last, jam, stick together, just bad functionality all together. When I bought my first EK punch, I could not believe that I waited to long to do so. They are sturdy, work perfectly EVERY time no matter how over worked they might be. And a total plus that I just love is that they flatten to a very slim size to put back in their box to store away.Highly recommend EK punches over all others and I have used just about every brand there is to buy.

HEART REVIEWIt's really bizarre that the reviews for all sorts of different punches are merged together because how one punch works could be completely different from how another punch works. This is for the silver punch that makes hearts, 2-1/2" wide, 2" tall.I got this as a way to make use of old books I've written. There are times that I have a proof book in which I find errors and therefore fix them and order a new fixed book. That means the original book is now not one I'd like to sell. I hate to waste that book and just recycle it, though. This punch lets me make beautiful heart shapes from the pages to use at book signings or other events. They are lovely for book clubs, too.I'm attaching an image of the hearts so you can see what I mean.This is perfect for any author or heck any scrapbooker. They also make beautiful decorations for weddings, engagements, bridal showers, and other romantic events.The punch works like a charm and cuts smoothly.Highly recommended.

I really love this punch. It punches perfectly shaped hearts every time and will go through a couple layers of cardstock. It's a nice size heart for journals, cards, etc.

I bought this to cut hearts from wildflower seed paper. The paper is a quite sturdy, but this punch cuts through it beautifully.The punch is easy to use, and seems like it is well made, and will last a long time.

I wanted to love these, but the punch wears out quickly. I punched a bunch of thick card stock and at the end of my project (probably 100 punches or so) it was at the point where it did not punch cleanly anymore.I will say the customer service is really great. The first punch I received was damaged and they sent me a new one immediately and did not require me to bother sending back the damaged one.

EK Success makes quality punches. I own many. However, I ordered the large heart punch and it was not up to their usual standards. There was an area that it did not cut through cleanly. It was just a fluke defect, as I have never had this problem before. I requested a return and replacement of punch. It was shipped immediately and I received it in 2 business days. This one is perfect. Thanks EK Success for a good product and Amazon for such great customer service and quick response.

This cuts really well. The directions suggest using it upside down and that does work better. I could do a couple sheets of book pages at the same time. If I did more than the sheets at a time, it does kind of jam. Once you figure out how many sheets it can handle, heart punching was a breeze. And very satisfying!

I had high hopes for this heart punch because I do like the EK punches, however, I was so disappointed! The punch would not make a clean heart punch, no matter what I did. The edges were "raggedy in spots AND it wouldn't cut through at all in a specific spot on the right side of the heart. I tried all thicknesses of paper and cardstock and it did the same thing each and every time. Being a crafter, I've had some experience with punches, so I tried punching aluminum foil. This sometimes works to sharpen the punch. That didn't work either, so I'm forced to return it. I don't know if this one particular punch was defective or if they're all that way, but I didn't want to try a second time.
