This is an Xcut 4cm 'Floral flurry' border punch
With base guide lines to aid alignment of the design
Make continuous borders with the Xcut detailed border punches
Punches out the design shown in the middle of the punch.
The extra part of the design shown either side of the middle, is for lining up the design with the holes you have already punched in order to make a continuous design. Each time you punch it will produce a 4cm design.
Will cut paper, cardstock, thin foam, vellum and more.
Suitable for 90-220gsm.
If you are using thinner paper such as tissue, or crepe, it is advisable to use thin paper (such as 80gsm copy paper) either side of the thinner papers to prevent the punch from jamming.
Combine with other items for postal savings.
Despite the manufacturers advice of using a minimum of 90gsm paper, for the more intricate designs we recommend a minimum paper weight of 120gsm and a maximum of 260gsm, or with the simple designs such as circles, stars and squares, etc. you can use a maximum of 300gsm.Subject to the individual characteristics of each design, using less than 120gsm is likely to jam the punch, or result in an incomplete cut, so if you do need to cut thin paper, such as 80gsm or similar, or even tissue paper, or crepe, then it can be achieved by making the thin paper the content of a sandwich of 3 sheets, with an 80gsm sheet either side if it.
This will total around 180gsm and that will cut cleanly, even with (subject to the intricacy) up to 6 sheets of tissue in the sandwich making a total of just under 300gsm, subject to the quality (weight) of the tissue paper.
