I am 7 years late but I'm here. I bought this punch at least 2 years ago and never had a need for it until now. I had a 50% off coupon, otherwise I never would have bought this. I need to do a 'welcome home' banner. I almost forgot I had this and was going to use sharpies for the letters. Then my memory came back. Your tutorial was a great introduction because I had no clue how to get started. I thought all parts were removable. I'm glad I found you and can't wait to give it a try. Thank you for clueing me in.

[@mcg267]

Whoever figured out how to make this function is a genius.

[@Lookn4Gsus]

My thoughts exactly! 😀

[@WhatEvilLooksLike]

Actually no ... this is so slow ... imagine if u run a business or have a large project ... it would take soooooo long to make words 🙄🤦‍♂️

[@mcg267]

@@WhatEvilLooksLike This isn’t intended for people with businesses I’m sure.

[@diannamangrum68]

Great demo! Side note... It works really well with the small blank index cards. They are already cut to the right size! Most of us are into gelli printing, color bursting, zentangling , collage, and everything to print our own designs! LOL Anyhoo, this is the way I've used it and I've been quite happy with it. TFS🙋

[@MaymayMadeIt]

Great tip!

[@AprilBrockmiller]

I love listening to this lady give instructions. I love her voice! Usually when I am getting instructions on things here on You Tube I can not stand to hear the person's voice,but this lady has the most adorable voice and I love her accent! I could listen to her give instructions on something that I was completely uninterested in because her voice makes it seem like so much fun lol.

[@irenem5]

YES! I agree (:

[@sallyannfunder]

and she is always so positive and "efficient"... I agree with you even 6 years later 😀

[@lunasquirl]

Thank you so much for demonstrating this! Was very neat to see and learn about. And a great big THANK YOU for being one of the few KZbin Crafters that does NOT assume that we all own crickets or one of the many very expensive electronic machines that keep coming out. I only own a cuttlebug and I am lucky to have that, so I do appreciate being able to see other alternatives.

[@MaymayMadeIt]

Thank you! I really try to do a mix of projects so that we all can recreate them. With our without fancy things! Lol

[@Retha416]

Ingenious! Someone has spent some time figuring this out. You make it look easy. It is time consuming especially if you were doing a long word like "congratulations". But it is much cheaper than a cut n scan.

[@MaymayMadeIt]

Agree!!!

[@iluvmyboba]

Thanks, Sister Maymay. I really appreciate your tutorial. I bought this punch board several months ago and was wondering how making letters was possible. You've given a clear and concise video. And I'm grateful. Blessings, Sis.

[@izzabellamargaretrhodes5800]

I have the mini alphabet cutting board and I love it and watching you do your demonstration told me that I was doing my projects right Thank you for your demo Hugs from Milton Keynes UK

[@trixie1556]

I love that you show us your mistakes too. Helps us to not make them ourselves.....lol....Thank you!!

[@charlottec748]

I like the ribbon edge and love the deep corner punch. Thank you, but I'll use my Cricut or Cameo to cut letters. So much quicker with them.

[@jomorgan2182]

please please can you come up with more ideas ,,just got my punch board today and you are so good at finding different ways to use things xx

[@MaymayMadeIt]

Will do!!!

[@janegotelli7152]

I bought this punch months ago and than was too lazy to sit down and figure it out. Fibromyalgia makes you lazy. Thank you so much for getting me started. It really will be easy with the hints you have given us. I want to make a happy birthday banner for each of my kids family's to be used each time one has a birthday. I think that will be fun and a nice tradition.

[@lovevideos93]

I have fibromyalgia and it doesn't make us lazy,it makes us tired as beck...lol...I do many different crafts plus happy planning and I work part time so by the end of day I'm tired.try s m all projects or just play with the new machine.happy crafting...hugs!!!

[@mariannecastillo5643]

for me it´s graet because i dont have cricut..I love this product...I just bougth it and your demostration help me a lot!! thank u!!

[@gabrielamorales86]

Loved it!! And with this video you reduced the learning curve! Thanks for Demo

[@vegangelist]

Thanks for showing this demo. It has quickly removed the mystique and given me the confidence to do it. I'm not really much of a paper crafter - though you would never know it by ENORMOUS stash of paper crafting stuff - but i love it and am so intrigued by it. So i keep buying supplies. Including this punch board which i picked up, yesterday, at a craft outlet, for less than ten bucks. I figured KZbin would have some good videos. I wasn't surprised when yours was the first one to show up. I knew it would be good and thorough.

[@irenem5]

Your voice is very nice! And this is a VERY helpful video, straight to the point, yet your personality still shows 🥰

[@booberry10]

Been soooo curious about this! Thanks for listening to all of us about buying it for a tutorials! So fun! Have a great weekend! Hugs! Becca

[@AlmostCouture]

Great tutorial!! When I saw the picture instructions, I was like where are the WORDS??? 😂😂😂 this helped so much! Thanks for sharing ❤️

[@MimisMixedBag]

Genius engineering no doubt!!! You totally sold me compared to a few snippets from CHA I watched . I agree with you 100 % on your afterthoughts. I'm thinking I need a ribbon tail punch now. Oxoxo, Cindy

[@MaymayMadeIt]

+Mimi's Mixed Bag yeah! A single punch that does ribbon tails. That would rock!!!

[@mjiwamotoable]

I bought this WRMK Alphabet Punch board on HSN during their 24-hr Craft Day on July 6. There is also a mini WRMK Alphabet Punch Board that uses 1 1/2" X 2 1/2" paper. Both are useful tools in crafting. Thanks for sharing your review.

[@TwoPinkPeasTerri]

Excellent excellent tutorial! You are seriously the sweetest! Thank you for such a wonderful tutorial!!

[@marshapennington2617]

Love how well you explain this cool gadget ❤❤❤❤

[@elisebb8423]

Great demo, Maymay! Love that you did it the first time with us. It's great that they included numbers, too. I wish WRMK would offer this in more sizes for those of us who don't have the other machines.

[@pamelasertich9850]

Great video. You are a wonderful teacher

[@florencejones6364]

May May, you always do such a fantastic job of teaching!!

[@scrapnsherry]

I don't have it yet but I agree I think I really need this tool. Plus my girls could use this really easy. Great video and thank you for making this look really easy to use

[@halinalaxton3053]

I love how you go through everything you show it is so helpful

[@joycelocklear6315]

Hi Maymay, I just received my Alphabet Punch Board in the mail today! I ran across your video and I must say it was sooooo very helpful to me, because I was totally confused. I subscribed to your channel so that I can keep up with any other helpful videos you provide. I'm also waiting on my Mini Alphabet Board, which is on back order. Thanks for the helpful demonstrations.!

[@theresehoney199]

I was certain I didn't need to buy this punch board... Until I watched your video!!!

[@MsMaria990]

Hi Maymay, I just got this punch board. Great tutorial. Thank you sooooo much.

[@sandrablue365]

Love your video very informative the way you broke it down was perfect. Thanks for sharing

[@judydessent8855]

Hi Maymay, I love this board but like you I wish there were smaller letters. You are one of the half dozen or so people I go to all the time and honestly wish I lived in the US and the UK so I could come to your classes and meet you in person (I live in country South Australia and we only have a few craft stores in the state). I am Bipolar and have an anxiety disorder which makes it hard for me to leave the house sometime, so keep these reviews coming, which I am sure you will, and God bless you. luv ya Judy x

[@bronson2171]

I have always wanted this but I was afraid that I would not know how to use it but your video just gave me confidence that I can do this. Thanks for sharing this with us. I'm going to Michael's to get it tomorrow.🎉

[@tamimitchell5485]

Thank you for the Demo. From watching your video. Now I feel confidents in using this mini Alphabet punch board for some craft projects. I do not have a circuit machine. I had given it to my sister-in-law.

[@nellmcrae7828]

Have had this in the box for ages! Thanks for helping me know how to use it!

[@wig4usc]

I appreciate the demo, I have this, along with my dies and Cricut Air, and I still love and use it. I don't have a great space for my Cricut, this is portable and does not require a plug. I love the look of the letters, reminds me of vintage lettered banners. And finally, those who think it takes long, it really doesn't. I cut my papers on my paper trimmer, followed instructions and with a little practice, I was off to the races. I really enjoy this and really like the result!

[@denisethomas8771]

I have the very same one. I also have the mini one. I have the banner punch board too. All are the same color which I love. I wish they would create a bigger alphabet punch board.

[@irenem5]

I watched this 2 hours ago 😅 , why am I back? Perhaps your cool attitude and cool voice!!!

[@pierantoniazaninelli4316]

Geniale complimenti a chi ha inventato questa meraviglia 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@jonieisenberg7296]

I do have this. I have not used it yet, but you have just inspired me to make some letters. Maybe for Father's Day...that sounds like a plan!!

[@lisarichbourg4796]

I have this but never used it because it was intimidating! Thank you for removing the fear....I’m going to use tonight!

[@julieserna6235]

I really love the way you explain everything,THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!

[@CarSanders100]

This one has to go on my Christmas list 😊

[@KDubTwin2]

You have a very thorough way of explaining things!

[@anniek5417]

Omg...an ampersand??? I love this... Great review/tutorial!

[@connielynn195]

Not sure if I will ever have use for this one but enjoyed the video anyway. 😄 Your accent reminds me so much of my dear friend from Olustee, FL, who I have not seen in years.

[@CraftingWithTheHeart]

thanks for sharing. I was playing with it last nite and could not figure it out some of the the lines. as always your tutorial are a great help. blessings to you and hobby

[@poole215]

You were very helpful in showing how to use it.

[@MsAusarian]

What a lot of work! Thank God I have a scanNcut.

[@gigiormsby3107]

Love your demo. Your video and comments are extremely helpful.

[@DeeLightfulCo]

You are my co-dependent craftaholic. An enabler. I see you use stuff and I want it. But i would never make large letters BUT My 2nd daughter is a teacher and I think I might get this for her classroom. Teacher gift!

[@MaymayMadeIt]

I think it is great for a teacher. Hugs!!!

[@afucaful]

thank you so much! I just got it today and prepare the banner of my spring camp. Your explination is very helpful!

[@shereza7524]

Omg 😍 thank you so much ❤️ I love this punch board. I was in the store looking at crafts items and I came across this board but I wasn't sure how to use it. After looking at your video I ended up buying it ☺️

[@lorrainewatkins7207]

Hi Maymay...Thanks for your clear and understandable tutorials. Living in the NOW generation, we have grown accustomed to having everything quick and in a hurry and that's understandable; because we all seem to be playing beat the clock!😮 But when it comes to electronic tools of which I own more than a few, just remember they're usefulness all depends on the power supply! Trying to stay ahead of the curve I'm always thanking "What if the power goes out?" all of our expensive cutting and embossing machines would be absolutely "powerless"!!😥😥. So that being said, I think it's prudent to have a little of both, right? Frankly, I love my powerless manual crafting tools, they're like old dependable friends and included among them are all my punch boards!! Do I like the convenience of my Cricut, Ebosser, Scan n Cut etc., absolutely ; but some days you opt for quiet and simple. That's when I reach for my old dependable friends!😉 Happy crafting all you out in crafter's world! And thank you Maymay😊

[@lizwestlake6826]

I've used this twice with a 4yo who follows instructions - 'cowabunga' to punch the 'D' shape, 'press down & pull/push' when using slicer (yes he knows it's a SHARP blade & must go back into it's home when not using) & 'cowabunga' on other punches. Made letters to spell his & his sisters name for their bedroom doors.

[@helenvandagrifft7429]

Love watching your videos,,you make everything seem so easy...

[@sirethagailbell7266]

Lovely demo. there is a way to make a heart

[@tammyaswell4562]

You are such a great teacher. Thank you!

[@AcornandOakCraft]

I now want one if I can find one here in the UK!! Great review chum!

[@TonieRich]

amazon hun im in the uk but it comes from america....its fab i wouldnt be without it as i have the banner punch as well so just the right size letters xx

[@LydiaMatthews5]

Thanks for the great instructions. I wanted this punchboard since I first saw it demo'd. I finally bought this the other day @Michael's w/ 40% off coupon which was cheaper than buying it anywhere online. I also have the Cricut Explore, but for small projects this is easier.

[@ressieosbourne6841]

Thank you so much! I recently purchased one for 50% of at AC Moore. I love coupons! Thank you again!

[@grams5580461]

I like this. Great review on it. You always see other uses for products. Do you think it would work on other materials not just paper?

[@MaymayMadeIt]

Yes, I have some ideas floating around in my head already. I'm not sure about fabrics, or burlap but I would think any material you run through your other punches will work in this one too.

[@izzabellamargaretrhodes5800]

Thank you so much for your help Hugs from Milton Keynes UK

[@shadyheart2010]

Love your videos... so helpful, and fun to watch. Now I have a challenge for you... what can we do with all those perfect little fishscale-shaped cutouts that collect under the board from the initial cuts for most letters? I can't just throw them away, that would be blasphemous! Please help save them from the recycle bin; you are so creative, I know you'll help me think of something... Thanks for all you do for us.

[@MaymayMadeIt]

I think we did a bunch of cards ideas with them on my Facebook group back when I showed this board. I'd love for you to check it out, Maymay Made It and So Did I on Facebook, groups.

[@malillis608]

Can't you use them as arrows? Could run them through a xyron to use as stickers.

[@tashae2643]

Great video. I have the banner punch board and it is amazing. I don't have a diecut machine yet so I might invest in this until I get one.

[@CyndiF]

Thank you, Have been debating about the punch boards, this helped me make a decision thank you so much!

[@vickyrosales2464]

it seems easy, thanks . I just got my order and I can't wait to start playing with my stamp set. blessings

[@tracypriest4386]

I also have the small punch that connects & puts them together to make a banner

[@clique1rawks]

Are the blades replaceable? What if it becomes blunt over repeated use

[@fabiendulido]

Thank you for your Great tutorial 😃✨

[@sandygarcia7435]

Great demo! Thank you once again...continued blessings...🌻🌻🌻 yes I have it n finally will use it...

[@kellybeechen2271]

Awesome video. Now I'm not afraid to buy it.

[@candymarcase5076]

Very informative, love your southern drawl!

[@bettyhall9777]

oh wow, I love this, great demo MayMay

[@wendeelee1]

I saw this at Michaels the other day and contemplated buying it. After seeing your video I can see how it might be useful but am still on the fence. But then I still can't decide between the Scan n Cut, Cameo, or Explore Air! 🤔🤔🤔

[@cherylsstitchstash854]

Wendy I bought the scan and cut for cutting fabric not great for fabric, a waste of money, but for paper its ok. It was very frustrating for me , the mats don't last long at all. I hope this helps

[@powerup4580]

very nice and easy to understanding. But can this board cut different size alphabet or numbers?

[@eamoncrosby2368]

Awesome video. You helped my 7 year old daughter and I no end Thanks 😉👍

[@victoriabrown3314]

Excellent tutorial!

[@staccreates]

HI Maymay, Great review! It seems like a lot of work to get a letter done. I would rather use my Cricut as I have no patience. LOL Hugs, Stacy

[@racheljolley26352]

Thank you, I was wondering if I should invest, I do love We Are Memory Keepers boards, super useful.

[@tammyjones5186]

I would like it to make card size letters, but I like the bigger ones too.

[@rebeccasegui3655]

I also got this punch and had such a hard time doing the letter S where one side of the paper was glittered and the back side was white,

[@dalesharp8485]

YES!! Have one of these, and yes, it is ingenious!! Can use for other things too ~ amazing & fun!

[@ruthe8095]

Thank you., this is a great video! I am new to paper crafting and can see lots of uses for this little gadget

[@irenem5]

Just got this little guy! Haha I am excited to use it, although a bit intimidated 😅, it is on sale rn at Joanns 🙂

[@craftcornerwithestherc2506]

My thought on punch boards is this. I have a Cricut so I dont really need it most of the time. However I live in an area with outages in the electric company and my Internet provider. This would be hand for this. Also handy for taking to crops :)

[@MaymayMadeIt]

Good idea!

[@benedictehjalting7227]

Nice video. Thanks. Mystery letter is an '&', in case no one else mentioned it already.

[@judefoote7566]

This is so helpful for me I was really stuck thanks so much x

[@ronnamartell6399]

I'm sure there are some crafters who would have more need for letters all the same size all the time than I would (or in my opinion most crafters). Otherwise I don't see much use for it to justify purchasing it. However, as others have said, you are good at coming up with ways to use products beyond their intended use so, maybe once I see the things people with more imagination than myself come up with, I'll see more of a need for it.

[@SherryWolfe]

+Ronna Martell Hey Ronna, I'm with you. I really don't see a need for this. I have a cricut and a die cutting machine. I had thought about getting this for my daughter in law to make letters for my grandson to learn. Now after seeing all of the steps, I know that this is something that my daughter in law would never have the time for. ~ Sherry

[@thepricklychestnut]

Awesome sauce!!! Thank you for sharing this!

[@limerent72]

I love your accent, and how you explained the way this tool works! Yours is the first video I've seen that shows how you can cut a 3x5 card right on this tool. I'm just frustrated that I can't find any video that shows how the M or W is cut. All the videos I've seen emphasize that you cut all the letters and numbers from a 3x5 card, but the M and W sure seems wider than a 3x5...? (Same with the mini tool that comes with the 1.5 x 2.5 paper pads on HSN--the M and W are surely wider than that.)

[@shadyheart2010]

Yes, for these letters, as stated in the manual, you must glue one "leg" atop the other (basically you're making 2 U's or N's). The only really weird letter in my opinion is X. Thank goodness, it's not often needed, so I just freehand it.

[@karenbell930]

1/25/2019 Hi MayMay love your channel and wanted to thank you for cool reviews and how to. I just purchased the WRM Mini Alphabit punch board and have to admit it was overwhelming at first but came across your review and it has helped me out A LOT! ") Thank you for all your inspirations. KBell

[@GuadalupeQuinteroCA]

I got this today 😍😍😘 thank you so much for your help teacher👍👍👍

[@jacalynhill7132]

Good review - thank you.

[@jric7057]

thank you soooo easy. I also think you have the nicest accent!!

[@gloriacolston8475]

another great tutorial. I have a cameo but now I think I need this..lol. would be good for quick letters and I can use my scap paper . .

[@adrianagarciac]

I really enjoy this punchboard and like it tons! However the cutting blade, I personally feel, is not durable. I punched probably not even 12 letters and it started cutting out the paper badly!!! Do you have any tips on sharpening it?

[@lindagk23]

Great demo Maymay. I was on the fence about this board and was waiting to see more demos on it. So thank you for showing us all it can do. And LOVE the ribbon edge part. Maybe they will do one that can do just that in different sizes, that would be cool! Also I noticed someone ask about if it would cut other materials and I was thinking that if you were to cut fabric you might back it with a fuseable web like Steam a Seam and leave the paper on and then cut, it might work. I've done this with my Cricut and it works. I do a lot of sewing and especially a lot of applique so I'm thinking it might work. Anyway, just a thought. Thanks again Maymay for the demo, loved it!

[@MaymayMadeIt]

Great tip for fabric!!!

[@kelseycorinne9990]

So helpful and fun to watch!!! Thank you 😆

[@barbsdee3831]

Just caught up with this (3 years 😂😂😂) I think the symbol is ‘&’ short for ‘and’ so you can have M&M! 😘🇬🇧

[@vegangelist]

Yes, that's what she was saying. &=ampersand. I agree that it is but I think it is an odd rendition of it.
