Hi friends! Carolyn here for ScrapBook Blessings Club to share with youThursday's product review. We will be looking at We R Memory Keepers - Card Punch 3 x 4.
First, I have my tip of the day for you.... work on a cleaned off area so you can punch the item with ease. If the punch is not on a flat area, it may not work too well.
Onto today's review and how to tutorial...
The We R Memory Keepers 3 x 4 Card Punch is one of our most popular products at Scrapbook.com. Using this handy tool from We R will let you turn any scrapbook paper or a photo into a 3" x 4" card with beautifully rounded corners. This size works perfectly with the Project Life method. We R is known for making some of the best and most innovative scrapbooking and paper crafting products in the world and this product fits the bill. The features of the Card Punch tool include:
Punch anywhere on the page or photo using the magnetic system Use the reverse punching mechanism and clear plastic top to punch exactly where intended Lock the punch in a closed position for compact storage.

I receive newsletters from Scrapbook.com and
this was on their weekly listing. I checked it out and liked what I
saw and decided to order and use for my scrapbooking, punching the
photos down to the size I want for the scrapbook albums and mini-albums I
am creating. Also a good way to create journaling tags for the pages.
And now for the tutorial....
And now for the tutorial....
This
is the 3x4 Card punch shown with the top blue part down and locked for
storage purposes. You push the blue button on front of punch to the
right and the top pops up. When putting in the locked position, you
push the blue part down.
The punch is now ready to start using.
Here I have placed a piece of card stock on the punch, representing a photo.
The
next step shown is where you position the cardstock or photo under the
plastic glass. When satisfied with the position to be punched, you use
both hands, and press down firmly on corners of the punch to punch it to
a 3x4 photo or journaling tag, etc.
The above two pictures will give you an idea of what is punched out with this punch.
Nice
punch to use for the photos you would like to fit on a scrapbook page
or mini-album. And I punched out two lined sheets of design paper to
use as journaling tags for my granddaughter's mini-album.
I
have found that you have to push straight down and firmly with photo
paper or the results will be a messed up photo. As with the two recipe
pictures, I've done some hand trimming and a corner rounder to clean up
the mess.
I purchased my We R Memory Keepers - Card Punch 3x4 from Scrapbook.com but Internet search shows it's available at Home Shopping Network. Check out We R Memory Keepers for tutorials, videos and product reviews.

Thanks for the review, Carolyn. I hadn't heard of the We R Memory Keepers punch. Looks like a great way to have uniform sized photos or journal cards. ~ Marilyn
