Anna Griffin® Platform Punches with Stamps and Templates

These punches are an excellent pairing of Anna Griffin style with W R Memory Keepers' high quality. The punches and designs are large and therefore perhaps better suited to scrapbooking than to cardmaking, although they certainly can be used on 5x7 and larger cards. Unlike other reviewers I found them relatively easy to punch. I do have a number of Martha Stewart punch all over the page punches and have learned that a "rolling" pressure from one side of the punch to another is often easier than forcing the punch straight down. The added design capability given by the templates is definitely a treat. I think this is a great product for adding Anna Griffin style to any number of projects.

very easy to use and the results are beautiful. Love the pattern they create especially on patterned paper.

These templates will take my card making to another level. I only wish there was more instruction to correctly use the stamps.

I was so excited to receive this. Anna always creates the most beautiful and useful tools to help us make gorgeous cards and scrapbook pages. This time I am having trouble and wish the instructions for use were more detailed. I have been able to create some beautiful doilies with the stamps and templates, but when I tried the punch it was difficult to use. It required more pressure than I (at age 79) was able to accomplish in just one pass. It took me at least 6 or 7 attempts to finally get through my cardstock! Then when I finally got to the last punch to create the doily there wasn't enough room. I realized that for stamping I needed to put my paper UNDER the template. I am wondering if that is what I need to do with the punching as well. I will continue to play with this, but wish I could punch through more easily. The final result for stamping is simply gorgeous!

I love this set. It's easy to use and the results are beautiful. The only thing I'm going to do to improve it is to emboss it when it's finished because it needs a little dimention.
