Versatile Heart Punches - What Piece will You Use?
Paper Heart or Punched Shaped Hole?
With decorative designed punches, you may have LOTS of little loose hearts. Think about it. Each separate hole punched in the paper will result in a small paper heart. Those can be used in lots of ways or even for heart confetti.
Standard Heart Paper Punches by Size
Here's a very small 1/4 inch Hand Punch
Fiskars 23607097 Hand Punch, 1/4-Inch, Heart
Amazon Price: $2.49 (as of 06/01/2012)![]()
Probably too small for using the heart that is "punched-out" (at least for the littlest of hands to grasp and/or glue down craft-wise), the resulting heart shaped hole left in the paper will be petite and cute.
Also perfect for when you need to punch a loyalty card, club card etc. with a special shape.
You need it even smaller? I just located this 1/8 inch size.
5/8" Paper Punch in the Shape of a Heart
Uchida LV-CP01 Clever Lever Craft Punch, Heart
Amazon Price: $7.27 (as of 06/01/2012)![]()
Just a little larger than 1/2", lots and lots of these hearts will fit on a greeting card.
Homemade Card Idea with Punched Hearts
Horizontal Design
Here, we punched a row of hearts and added a contrasting paper behind. Personally I like the look of patterned paper paired with solid colors.
2, 2.5 and 3 inch Heart Punches
Lever style punches
It's important to note...
Punches make beautiful patterns around the edges of paper but won't reach to the center of a big piece of paper. They are like staplers - you know how a stapler will only reach as far in on a sheet of paper as the stapler neck is "deep?" Well, it's the same thing with punches. You can get around this by cutting a large square window in your paper and then gluing a heart window on top of it. This won't matter at all if you only need the punched out hearts.
Folk Art Style Heart - Narrower and Asymmetrical
Ek Success Paper Shapers Small Punch, Folk Heart
Amazon Price: $3.00 (as of 06/01/2012)![]()
Measures 1-1/4-inch by 2-1/2-inch.
This design is quickly becoming my favorite because it's unique (kids will probably like the perfect symmetrical hearts though). See examples of this style heart below.

Punches Two Hearts at One Time
2 for 1
Paper Shapers Medium Punch - Double Heart
Very neat idea to make a punch that cuts out 2 paper hearts at once. The inner hearts can be pasted to the paper, while the punched out shape will leave a nice design in the paper.
Example of Heart Punches Used On Valentine's Card
Mix 'em up
Although I've only layered 2 pieces here (heart over the white greeting), I usually layer more pieces to create depth and interest on the card. Paper is 2 dimensional, but there are lots and lots of things you can do to create depth and layers. Craft punches and embossers are excellent tools for accomplishing this goal.

- I love the shaped hole punchers! I wish they made them sharp enough to punch through felt. I have never seen the embosser and I really like it too. Awesome
