Default key tag punch

I have been searching various websites to try and find a key tag punch. I have been making some of the punch animals and a couple of them call for a key tag punch. I know it is rectangular shaped with rounded corners. Does anyone know where I could locate one? I searched Stampin Up and Create for Less. It is shaped sort of like this (_____) , except I couldn't figure out how to indicate that there was also a top line too!! I hope you get the idea.

I got mine a couple of years ago at Joann.com. I looked at their site very quickly just now, and didn't see it.

The punch is made by EK Success. I also just went to their site, and didn't see it there, either. Hope it isn't retired!

Anyway, eksuccess.com will be a good resource for you to see different punches.

The SU Key Tag punch is retired. I round the corners of a rectangular piece of card stock.

I want one too---but found this forum. So what size is it? Anyone have some ideas? I would rather have the punch but can't figure out how to negotiate the BST forum for search for one. That forum is a bit of a nightmare in my opinion---or I need to be taught how to search that forum some how. Sorry Off Topic---dimensions please....and thank you

it looks like a dog tag, if you could find one and trace it, it would work. or if another co sells a similar punch?

Here are a couple on e-Bay .
However they are very pricey!! The one for $43 plus shipping is down right greed . I would suggest watching Craigslist. I bought one for $5 on Craigslist. People are selling punches because they have Cricuts and no longer use them.

Anyone live near an Amazing Savings? I got an EK Success Key Tag Punch recently for $1.99.

p.s. I don't know if Amazing Savings exists outside NY.

I just was playing around in my studio and came across a tag punch I recently won as a doorprize at a Creative Memories scrapbook retreat! It looks like a tag with a hole in one end to attach a ribbon into. It does not however, look like a dog tag. One end has the corners trimmed, and one end is squared off. It is clearly a tag to be attached to something for identification. Go on the Creative Memories site and take a look to see if this is what you want. I knew I had something that might work for you , but I wasn't sure, and didn't know where it was; a sure sign that I have too much stuff!! Hope it helps!

Man oh man...$42 and $35 for a punch??? Why couldn't you cut a piece of cardstock and place one end in a circle punch to round the corners, flip it and do the same on the other end? You know where you have the back of the punch face up and put your cs in so only the end you want trimmed is in the punch? Hope that makes sense.

Exactly my thoughts!! A set of Circle Nesties at HL with a 40% off coupon would be about $15.
Cut a rectangle and position half of one of the circle dies on one end and cut it. Then do the other end.

There is no way I would spend $43 or $35 plus shipping on a punch unless it was 24 Kt. gold
