The ergonomic thumb press is designed for ease of use, but adult supervision is recommended for younger crafters to ensure proper handling and prevent potential injury.

How can I best identify the punch when it's stored with others?

The design of the punch is printed on its end, allowing for quick and easy identification of the shape even when stored in a drawer or container.

Can this punch be used for non-holiday crafts?

While it is categorized for Christmas use, the angel design can be incorporated into various projects beyond the holidays, such as baby showers, religious crafts, or general decorative elements.

Troubleshooting

Punch not cutting cleanly

Ensure you are using paper within the recommended weight limit (up to 65 lb cardstock). Try punching through a sheet of aluminum foil or wax paper to clear any lodged paper fibers. If the issue persists, the blade may be dull and require replacement if possible, or the unit may need to be replaced.

Punch mechanism is stiff or difficult to press

Check for any paper debris jammed in the mechanism. Ensure the punch is not locked shut while attempting to punch. If stiffness continues, try punching through wax paper to lubricate the mechanism.

Punch is locked and won't open

Locate the lock mechanism at the base of the punch and slide it to the unlocked position. Ensure the punch is fully open before attempting to use it.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
