My walmart has a few ms valentine stuff but no punches, just the stickers, a card and envelope set,and ribbon set. I really love the die cut heart stickers.
My Michaels this week didn't have any MS punches on clearance from C hristmas, but I did get a set of clear holiday accent stamps for only 3.99. Can't pass up that price. It's a set of 37 stamps.

I'm so excited that I was able to get all 3 of the coveted MS Valentine punches! I'm in NW suburban Chicago & I went to my M's late this afternoon. I checked the MS section but I didn't find any of the new Valentine punches:(, so I decided to get the lattice punch since I had a
40% off coupon. I browsed the scrapbooking section & picked up a few other little goodies, & then completely by chance I found the MS Valentine punches on a side rack of an end cap near the regular stamps & across from other punches.:mrgreen: I got both of the border punches & the scalloped heart punch.:mrgreen: They also had a few other MS Valentine punches but I'm happy with what I got. I'm not sure if they're displayed that way in all of the M's, but it's worth a shot to check it out at your M's. I was able to use the 40% coupon on 1 of them & a 20% off complete purchase on the other 2.:mrgreen:
Michael's in Lynnwood had all of them but is now sold out :( Sorry! If I see them again I will pick them up and hopefully someone will still want them!

I've been to 3 stores... no edge punches at any but got the Love one and the scallopped single valentine heart. BOTH don't work.... just barely punch through light weight paper.
My local Michael's (Danbury, CT) had the MS Valentine punches when I was there today. I saw the scalloped mini heart and the lace heart border punches, plus many styles of single design punches.
I've had a lot of trouble with her punches in the past and refuse to purchase any more.
I was at Michaels today in Northern Virginia ( D.C. ) area. No valentines punches in the Martha Stewart collection or the valentine display. Then to boot, stickers were 40% of and this happens to me a lot at this store, one rang up discounted and the other two didn't and I mised it so they go back tomorrow since I have to work. Does anyone else have the problem of things being marked discounted and then ring up at regular price?
I live in S. CA (S. Orange County) and I went to my Michaels (Mission Viejo) on Monday and they had 4 or 5 of the regular MS Valentine punches and 2 of the border Valentine punches. I got the scalloped border with the tiny hearts and used a 50% off coupon. I went back on Wednesday and got the scalloped heart and used another 50% off coupon. Luckily my daughter's preschool is right down the street so going back on different day to use coupons isn't a big deal for me. From the looks of the display from Monday, i was the only one who bought one from the time I was there on Monday until I got there on Wednesday.

I lucked out today. I got the last two craft punches "embossed heart" and "heart confetti" from my Michael's. Almost all of their border punches were gone. The last time I was there, they had a ton. I wish I had browsed for the valentine border punch then. I hope they're going to restock soon. Once an item is low on stock, it's seem like a lengthy period of time before I see it restocked.

I was back there again since I had to go to Northern Va. Since I had paid for the stickers with a check I can't take them back until 10 days to make sure my check clears. Apparently, in small print, the 3D stickers weren't on sale. Found the Martha Stewart endcap but it only had the scalloped edge but no hearts on it. Will try in Winchester this weekend.
The nice heart valentine border lace punch just helped me make 24 beautiful Valentines cards. I used SU Very Vanilla which is pretty thick and the punch did an awesome job.

my michaels told me the seasonal valentine ms stuff didn't sell well last year, so they aren't getting any in at all. bummer... i will check the one that someone mentioned above in mission veijo - it is only about 20 minutes from me, or so. i think i saw some of the stuff online at emmaspaperie.com, but i wanted to be able to use a coupon of course!

My Michaels had several when I was in there over the weekend. They were like $14.95 each. Which one are you looking for. I particularly love the heart lacy border. I made 24 Valentines cards with it on Very Vanilla and it cut just fine....
blessings.
My friend called Mikes last Friday to ask about Valentines Punches. The person told her they were out. I wondered if they had even come in since I was there the week or two before and nothing. No one even knew if they were due in.
So for giggles on Saturday I went to Mikes and guess what? Yep...they had a little end cap with some Valentines things on them. All the border/edge punches were sold out. Only 1 lacy heart left and got that . Few other love ones...

stampinmarni - which Michaels do you go to? I didn't even know of one farther south than the Mission Viejo one. I'll be going to the one in Foothill Ranch tomorrow and will check there too. If you go to Mission Viejo, they're on the side of the end cap of the Martha Stewart aisle. The punches are at the bottom. HTH!

I havn't found them here ( Winchester Va ) area or Fairfax ( D.C. area ) as yet. I will check tomorrow If I can get out of this ice. It's thawing but refreezing tonight again. Gives me time for scrapping.
thanks mary jane! i go to the one in san clemente - it is on Avenida Pico about 2-3 miles east of I-5.
I just went to the Mission Viejo store. There aren't any more border punches or lace hearts. The only one left was the "Love You" in a heart punch. I'm going to Foothill Ranch this afternoon since my daughter has a doctor's appointment around the corner.

Just went over to ABC Craft and Toys on the net and discovered that the Martha Stewart Valentine Edge Lace Punch is in stock again, and the matching little heart is in stock as well, if you enter Coupon Code CARD77 you will receive 10% off your entire order (sale items not included) Woohooo, so happy I finally found this punch and was able to get it ......and at not overpriced eBay prices
Michaels in Montgomery, Al has new MS valentine punches. They have a really cute filigree heart punch for $18.00 and the other usual stuff - paper, card kits, stamps,
THey are out! SOmeone made me a svg file of this exact punch as a 12" border AND a square photo mat.. if you have the SCAL and want the file to cut on your cricut email me and its yours It's identical and so much easier to let the cricut cut it!
*this is the scalloped border with mini hearts Martha Stewart one*
I would love to have the SVG for this punch if you are still sharing! my email is: [email protected]
Thanks!

Has anyone seen these out yet? I know I saw two on ebay for an evil price. I haven't been to Michael's since well before the holidays, anyone seen them on the shelves yet?
I have purchased last year a punch and embosser in one. does not work for C*** I just purchased a all over the page punch (heart) and I totally love it.
I magnet holds the paper and punch in place and is great, I will certainly buy more shapes in this style of punch!
MS punches seem to fly out of the stores. I bought two of her Punch anywhere on the page magnetic punches. Loved them so much I went back two Michael's two days later and they were gone. Right now my store seems to be unpacking alot of boxes so I'm hoping there are some of her punches in those boxes.
If you are looking for retired Martha Stewart punches, including the Valentines day ones...I shop at ABC Toys and Crafts sell Craft supplies stamping & scrapbooking Kids. I usually find the punch that is no longer available at Michaels on their web site...they just put their whole site at 10% off SRP, so the prices are not gouged like on ebay.
I usually LOVE MS punches, I bought the heart with a key punch and was really dissapointed that I could not flip the punch and see where I'm punching. It went back.

I think all the MS "double punches" are like that. I'm not sure what they think the advantage to that is because I agree with you...I want to see where on the paper I'm punching.
