I love all the punches and use them alot. If I had to select my favorite, it would be the scallop circle punch.

Ditto that....scallop circle punch. So versatile, great for peppermint patty favors, and great for showcasing those little stamps that seem to get lost on your card.

I love most of the punches available through SU ... my favorite is retired (snowman). My next favorite is a tie with the 5-petal flower and the scalloped circle (which I have layered for a nice effect).

If space and or budget issues require careful consideration it is less expensive to buy circle-shaped dies, such as Spellbinders Nestabilities (provided you have a diecutting machine) than all the circle punches.

I own, but rarely use, the slit punch and the round tab pounch even though both are fairly popular they turned out not to be my style. I recently purchased the single heart punch and hope my next purchase includes the 3-heart and wide oval punches. Generally, I buy the punches that coordinate with sets I own or want or have a unique shape (like the retired snowman).

Hope this helps you make your decision.

Happy Crafting!

I love the word window punch and oval punches, both sizes, I also love the scallop circle punch, scallop edge punch, flower trio, ticket corner.
I also like the circle punches, but purchased mine at hobby lobby when they were 50% off. They are made by EK success too.

I love both of the border punches and seem to use them the most. Whatever ones you pick, you can't go wrong!

i love having all the circles for layering. i really like the tag punches too.

i just ordered the 5 petal flower, word window & full heart (among other things...)

i agree with a previous poster that you can't go wrong with any of them really.

If you look at other SU sites they seem to use the 2" scallop with 2 smaller circles inside that match the stamps. It looks so nice to see it each time as it looks sharp and clean looking, and adds to the design of simple items.

Wish we had more places to but the goodies here in the UK.

I have quite a few of them and really like them all. The ticket corner punch gets the most use followed closely by the scallop circle punch. However, I think the new scallop border punch will get a lot of use after I get it this weekend.

Ditto the scalloped circle punch... can't live without it (and the circle punches that fit inside). I also am crazy about the wide oval punch bc it's perfect for so many sentiments. Oh and I can't live without my ticket corner punch (it 'classes up' a plain edge) or my word window (so versitile). The small and large oval punches are great too, especially for layering a quick sentiment. Ahhh heck,... I love them all!!!

Tag and Small Tag are hands down my favorite! They're cute and practical. Scallop Circle or Spiral Punch would be next. Slit and Ticket Corner are on my next order.

My favorites are the scallop circle punch, the ticket corner punch and the scallop border punch. I don't think I can live without the ticket corner punch though. That is one I use a LOT

I have most of the circles. I think I would like some squares though and also the oval punches. You can make nice even cut outs with the squares and it takes less time than using the nesties (which I have and love as well). I really want the ovals to start making some of the super cute punch art posted on here! Again, sometimes just easier and quicker than dragging out my cuttlebug and nesties.

I use the double photo corner punch a lot in scrapbooking. I love all my Stampin' Up punches, however. I have the circle scallop, the word window, the slit punch, the 3 flower combination, wrought iron corner, the ticket punch, the scalloped edge, the spiral edge, designer label, and the horizontal slot. Love 'em all.

Scalloped border and scalloped circle. In that order. I also really like the arrows, use them quite a bit.

Count me in with those that like the scallop circle. I have all of the original nesties, so I won't be getting the ovals and squares, but that circle one, well it just keeps jumping into my hand.

The only one I'd like that I don't own already is the 5-petal flower; there seem to be a lot of uses for that other than as a flower. I saw a sheep in the gallery this morning that used it as ears and legs - cute.

Oh boy, tough question! I love them all! But I can say I use my scallop border punch more frequently than anything lately. You also cannot go wrong with the oval punches (and there is a great new scallop oval that layers with the large oval available on April 1!).

It's gotta be the scallopped circle. I use it all the time. I also like the rounded tab punch, corner rounder and word window. I think that SU punches are the best quality.
