I am debating on buying the square punches. I know I can make the squares on my own using my cutter, but wondered if anyone finds them to be valuable time savers? Any thoughts?
They are really nice punches, sturdy and easy to use! It will save you lots of time since you can punch out your image with the smaller one and then a mat with the bigger one faster than you can say "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!"
Location: I don't stamp, I just talk about stamping on the internet!

My favorite tool!
I do SO MUCH with the square punch that I can't do (easily) with my trimmer! I use it a lot to punch holes into things, leaving the hole as a window - that's do-able, but difficult with a trimmer - especially for small squares. You really need to have one - or two!
I agree 100% with WaterPixie. I use my punches all the time for cards, with the alpha sets on scrapbook pages, embelishments for giftables, quick tags, ...
They are soooo worth the money vs. my precious time!

I don't have any of these yet either. Can you tell me, how deep into the card they can punch? Can you get to the middle - or at least more than an inch in?
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the square punches! The "whale tail" makes them super easy to use. When I do camps/workshops and have them use little squares, I bring the punches along instead of spending hours and hours cutting the little buggers out with a cutter.
They are not super-long reaching. From the edge of a card they punch in about 7/8". They are great for windows at the top, bottom or side of a card.
Not to tempt you . . . OK, so I'm tempting you, the circles are marvelous as well. I've used them as much, or more than my squares. Hey -- it's Sell-A-Bration! Buy both large circles and squares you you get a FREE set :lol:

I absolutley LOVE my SU! square and circle punches!! I can't wait to get rid of my "mini" circles punch from CM now since I love these punches so much!
You have to have them!!! They really do save time.....hey, more time to stamp, then
BUY THEM ALREADY! :lol: :lol: Ditto for what everyone else has said!
I have used my squares to death and am waiting to buy the 2nd circle. **LOVE** them and use them all the time. When I use them at workshops someone always buys one or both!
Can't wait to get my new tiny punches from the Spring Mini...ooohhhh anticipation...
