EK tools Large Butterfly Punch — Grey 1-3/4" Die-Cut Punch, Lockable Compact Craft Tool

This EK tools Paper Shapers Large Butterfly Punch in grey is a handheld craft punch designed to produce a clean, consistent butterfly silhouette from paper and light cardstock. Compact and lockable for storage, it arrives in a new package and is imported for crafters who want a reliable, easy-to-use tool for repeated die cuts. The punch is suitable for embellishing greeting cards, scrapbooks, party decorations and mixed-media projects where a butterfly motif adds a decorative touch.

How precisely does the punch cut a butterfly shape?

The large butterfly punch uses a shaped steel die housed in a moulded body that shears paper cleanly when pressed. Its mechanism is engineered for even pressure so the outline stays accurate from the first cut to the last, reducing tearing and frayed edges.

• Creates a 1-3/4" (approx.) butterfly silhouette every press
• Steel cutting edge for consistent, crisp outlines
• Works well with paper and light cardstock
• Design printed on end label for quick identification

What materials and project types work best with this punch?

This punch performs best with standard scrapbook paper, lightweight cardstock and decorative vellum. It is not designed for heavy cardboard, foam, fabric or thick plastics; using thinner, single-sheet materials yields the cleanest results.

• Ideal for greeting cards, scrapbook pages and gift tags
• Great for party confetti, paper garlands and layered embellishments
• Suitable for mixed-media surfaces when adhered afterward
• Avoid very thick or laminated stocks to preserve the die edge

How does the compact, lockable design benefit storage and use?

The punch's compact body locks closed to protect the cutting surface and save space in craft storage. A printed end label shows the butterfly motif, so you can identify the punch quickly when stored in drawers or stacked bins.

• Locking mechanism keeps blades covered and reduces accidental cuts
• Small footprint for tidy craft desks and supply carts
• End-label identification speeds selection during projects
• Lightweight for easy handling during prolonged crafting sessions

How can I use the punched butterflies creatively in my projects?

Punched butterflies can be layered, inked, stitched, or combined with adhesive foam for dimension. They work as stand-alone accents or repeated motifs to build borders, focal points, and textured backgrounds.

• Layer multiples for a 3D effect or nest on foam dots for shadow
• Ink or emboss edges for contrast and depth
• String or glue to make garlands and party décor
• Combine with adhesive gems, sequins or stamped elements
