Hearts versus hearts, punches or thinlets… Yikes!  How do I choose?  This week the decision is even more difficult… the Heart Border Punch (#133784) is on sale!!!!!  I’m so confused!!!

First, a few questions for you.

1. Do you need portability?
   1. Yes?  Get the punch.
   2. No? Consider the Mini Treat Bag Thinlets (#137547)
2. Do you have a Big Shot (#113439) and Magnetic Platform (#130658)?
   1. No? Get the Punch.
   2. Yes? Get the Mini Treat Bag Thinlets Set (#137547).
3. Do you have a hard time lining up border punches in a straight line?
   1. Yes? Consider the Thinlets
   2. No? Consider the Punch
4. Arthritis?
   1. Yes?  Thinlets.  Punches, especially border punches, can sometimes be difficult to use if you have arthritis.

Let’s look at the differences.

The Heart Border Punch (#133784) gives you a row of four small hearts with a width about 2-3/4″ wide.

The Hearts Thinlet included in the Mini Treat Bag Thinlets Set cuts a row of seven larger hearts about 3-5/8″ wide.

To give you an idea of the look, here are a couple previous projects.
