I bought this punch (not from this seller) to use for my save the dates. It was to punch all four corners of about 80 pieces of cardstock. It was very, very difficult to use on card stock (which was not particularly thick). I had to press down really hard for each punch, and use it on the floor, not on a table, because of how hard I had to press.

Eventually, after about 80 punches (20 cards), it would become so difficult to use that my fiancée would have to take over as I no longer had enough strength to push it. Then, the punch would eventually stop springing back, trapping the paper inside of it.

I went through 3 of these to finish my save the dates, and it was quite the task. I really liked the design, and when it worked, it looked lovely. There was nothing on the package to indicate that it should not be used on cardstock. I have to say, though, that I would only recommend it for thin paper or vellum.

This punch has beautiful decorative corners and is fairly easy to use. However it's one drawback is that it's difficult to align the paper at times. You will think you have it in there straight, and the cut will come out crooked.

The designs are really pretty and I use them for scrapbooking and greeting cards. But sometimes, the punch does not work correctly. It leaves small pieces of paper uncut, which makes that corner of the paper unusable. You will have to use just one sheet or page, and be press real hard and quickly.

Fiskars corner bunch with 3 lace designs has totally lived up to my expectations.

I use it to decorate my 'thank you' cards for people who buy my art work, and I got a lot of positive comments on them.

Here are things that I like:
1) It has three pretty designs. It feels like I got a good deal - three punches for the price of one!
2) It is very easy to use on regular stock paper.
3) The design allows you to line up corners, so you can do all four corners in the exactly the same way.
I am attaching the photo where you can see the guides on the base of the punch.
4) It feels sturdy and well made
5) It is easy to clean. Just shaking it gets the little bits of paper out of it
6) It is fairly compact and easy to store

I can't think of anything I don't like about this product!

Since the stock image only shows the cut designs, I am attaching a photo of the bunch itself.

If you have a thicker paper like cardstock you're going to have to really clamp down on this thing for it to work. But otherwise, it works great and is very sturdy. Great price too. Highly recommend.
