You really need some time.
I am not into scrap booking, but I have found that it is nice to have a punch to add a decorative shape when sending a letter or card in the mail. I bought this product to dabble with crating stationary or edges on a card. The punch works well (i.e., it comes with easy to follow instructions on the size the paper should be to keep the pattern clear), the shapes come out looking as shown in the picture and the punched edges are sharp. However, I have to say that it is a very time consuming affair to create a full sheet. Also, depending on the color of paper that is used, the end result may look like doilies. This is a product for someone who has time to spare. The reason I am giving this product 3 stars is due to the fact I may not use it often since it is time consuming.
I received the product soon after I placed the order.
