Leaf Craft Punch | 1.5cm Cut Out - Paper Punch for Cards and Scrapbooking

Cut clean leaf shapes by hand, the same size every time, without tracing or scissors. This craft punch produces a leaf cut out of about 1.5 cm and works as a mid size motif across cards, tags and scrapbook pages. Big enough to read as the motif on a tag or card, small enough to repeat across a page as a pattern.

Frequently Asked Questions

What shape does it cut and how big is the cut out?
It cuts a leaf shape at about 1.5 cm across.

How is this different from the other sizes in the range?
The range runs at roughly 1 cm, 1.5 cm and 3 cm. This one is the 1.5 cm. The 1 cm punches suit confetti and borders, and the 3 cm punches carry a card front on their own.

Can I use it on card stock as well as plain paper?
Yes, it is made for paper and card stock. Heavier board will be harder to press and may jam it, so test on a scrap piece first.

What do I do if it starts sticking?
Empty the offcut chamber first, since a full chamber is the usual cause. Punching through a sheet of foil once also helps the cutting edge run cleanly.
