Are you having a hard time figuring out how to use your Martha Stewart Punch Around The Page Punch sets? It took me a little while to figure out how to use them. Several people have asked me for help so I thought I would take a few pictures to clearly show the steps. There are two different size sets- Punch Around the Page and Large Punch Around the Page. Each size requires different measurements to punch around the page correctly.
Paper size for Punch Around the Page.
3.25” x 3.25” square, 3.25” x 5”, 5”x 5” square, 6.75”x 6.75” square-
Paper size for Large Punch Around the Page.
4’ square, 6’ square, 8’ square, 10’ square, 12’ square
1. Tools
I am using a 5” x 5” square for my example.
2. Punch all four corners.
3. You are now ready to punch your sides. See the arrows pointing to the inner guide.
4. Line your first corner perfectly over the left inner guide and punch.
5. Move your paper to right side and line up the opposite corner perfectly over the guide and punch.
6. Turn your paper 90 degrees and repeat the procedure until you have gone all the way around the page.
Creating a punched Border.
1. To create a border you need to follow the guides on the outer sides of the punches.

I have 40% off coupon for MS and want to buy one of these punches. Thanks for the tutorial…it is pretty informative; however, I will probably have to bring it into office anyway…you know how clueless I can be!
Kittie, gorgeous idea to make this tutorial! Not that easy to get that punch to the right place when you try the first time 😀 Have a lovely day, Janna
Maybe I will finally be able to use my punches. The instructions that came with them didn’t give enough info, but your tutorial is Great! Thanks so much.
I have the snowflake round the page punch,when I came to use it it is sticking and not cutting out. I have tried wax paper.
I have just stumbled across your great tutorial for Martha Stewart punch around the page punches. I was not aware that the large punches require different size papers….Hmmm…. I’m off to try again. Thanks for a clear and concise demonstration. Thank you for sharing. Just had a peak at your gorgeous cards too. They are so elegant and pretty…..inspirational stuff 🙂
Thanks for the tutorial. I need the measurements.
