Punch Templates!!!

I made 10 of these for my hostess club for our Christmas Party gifts!!! It is a punch of EVERY SU punch currently available, except for corners, slits, etc. I still need to do those, but feel they are irrelevant as far as needed them for sizing, etc. I cut a sheet of white cardstock into quarters, leaving them 8.5 inches long, and they ended up being 2.75 inches wide. It took 6 strips for each one. I saw many templates online for printing them punching, but wasn't happy with placement, etc. So, I did sit down and write them out by hand. I had them laminated professionally for a good heat seal and heavy laminating paper as these would be handled often. I punched each one with the Crop O Dile in the top corner (all 6 sheets laminated at ONCE!), and put them on a book ring! I LOVE these! They are sturdy and you can lay them right over the stamp itself or the catalog picture to see what you need! They took a few nights to get done, but for sanity sake, I didn't want to marathon these, so I did them slowly. I am really happy with the finished product, and the ladies seemed to like them!
