I like the iron wrought punch and the step punch...or whatever it's called. I sold a few of those. I also love the notched punch. Oh..and the circle and square punches, the slit punch and the 1/2" circle punch.
I use the square punch a lot and definitely my favorite is the wrought iron. Check out the link below to see how versatile the wrought iron punch is. When I show this to my customers they have to have it...

ALL OF THEM! But if you REALLY have to narrow it down some, Wrought Iron punch, Stair Step punch and notch punch are my biggest sellers. But then again I haven't started to promote the paper piecing or the slit punch because of the backorders on these. LOL!!!
I have used the snowman and snowflake punches a bunch this season. For all year round, either the pair of squares or circles. They are great for so much.
I have to say, I'm with Beate, I don't think I've met a punch I didn't like.
My favorite Shape punch is the Daisy. I use it alot. I have lots of stamp sets that "coordinate" with it. It's great. But I really like all the "tool" punches. I don't have any corner punches but I have them on my wish list!!!!
I think the Bigger Circle and Square punches are a can't live without. You can use them in so many different ways for scrapbooking and making cards. I will be ordering all 4 sizes with my first order!!
My biggest punch seller has been the Square Steps Punch. At my workshops guests get to make a card where the top and bottom right corners of the card are punched and then you insert a bookmark on the front of the card. It's always a hit.
I use the 1/2" circle punch to make the groove for the spinner cards. Punch a circle on each end and then put your Card on your cutter and line it up to cut out just the right sized slit for the pennies to fit in for the spinner!
The two square punches are MUSTS! I had the CM ones and toyed with getting ours and am so so glad I did. I have sold several of them..and sold them to people who also had the CM ones. Go for the squares!
I love the daisy punch. It is great for spring and summer. Gotta have the circle punches. Layer them and voila you have a tag! (great for christmas presents) I also love the small hand held punches.

I have the wrought iron punch and haven't used it much (mostly because I forget about it!) but after seeing this, I will definetly be getting it out and trying it!

I would have to agree with StampnCroplady. At my last workshop of 7 people, I demoed the double circle punch and everyone bought it! It makes every card look so put together with the ribbon and the easy way it makes into a bow. I also love the 1/2 inch punch for my Alphadots!
I agree with Beate....I won't be much help!!!! I like them all!!! However, I do use the squares, circles, and step pocket thingy ones the most. As for the crystal effects, get it!!! You will be amazed what will "pop off" your projects.
Stephanie! Thanks so much for sharing! I haven't been using my wrought iron one much because it can be too much--love all your ideas since they seem to tone it down.
Hisbride--I would start with both squares or both circles. Very versatile, easy to use, great quality punches. If you are a demo your customers will love them.

Can't take credit for it, I just found it in the gallery. It was posted by jennyfoofoo.
the square and cirlce....but I do love the love adorn corner punch....well, it's the fact that it has hearts...and I'm a hearts-kind-of-person. ....anything with a heart on it....gotta have it!!!
hugs,

I love the notched punch (formerly the Southwest corner punch). I have sold many of these. I also have the new snowflake punch which I absolutely love! And I just ordered the 1 3/4" square punch (won't be here until Monday!)
Hey Michelle~a cool use for the 1/2" circle punch is for the smaller alphabet stamps!! Stamp your individual letters, then punch out with the circle punch, add a pop-dot or adhseive!!

Gosh - I've gone punch crazy lately!! I think the one I use most often is the notched corners punch. And I also bought the two circle punches and square punches - I seem to be using those A LOT.
