Default Alphadots - sample on page 124

A customer questioned me about page 124 being accurate. The catalog suggests to use the 1/2" punch with the alphadots. But, if you look at the sample on page 124, there seems so be a lot more space around the letters than is possible considering the size of the actual letter and a 1/2" punch.

I used the 1/2" punch with the Alphadots and definately agree that it is much smaller than the image. I was not happy with the result and haven't done it again.

I still, however, love Alphadots and use then constantly on cards and scrapbook pages.

The punch is slightly smaller than the image. But I have used it before with the Alphadots and liked the result.

cajunstamper, would you agree though, that page 124 isn't accurate?

I believe they use our cutting system (the one with templates and a blade... drawing a blank...)

You made me curious, so I took the catalog and pulled my scrapbook and looked at the page I had used the Alphadots on and actually compared the amount of space around the common letters and the picture is accurate. I had the same amount of space around my letters as it did on page 124.

Oh, and yes, every letter was punched with the 1/2 inch circle punch. I don't know if that was clear in my last post. :?
