I'm toying with the idea of getting this, but it is £23 and I do have the tag book for my Xyron thanks to my awesome SS. Will I use it or will it just sit with my geometric maker, paisley maker, leaf maker etc etc

I have it and love it! Have used it for traditional tags for gifts and a type of envelope enclosure for journaling slips ( did not replace the paper in the shaper to punch out the hole at the top). I use both my paisley maker and tag punch, so this may be a personal usage concern on your part.
I do not have the Xyron, so this might answer the concern of having 2 tools produce the same outcome.

I have it and use it quite often. I just used it in the ABC pages swap. I ink the edges, run ribbon through the hole etc.

I have it and use it more than any other punch - but mostly for non-scrapbook stuff - very handy for presents :) It is so much easier than taking out my sizzix!

Thanks Lisa - PM sent

I did think about using it for Christmas and birthday tags - I can see me cutting out of old cards;)

I've ordered one - the tags Lisa sent me were too cute! From the picture it looks the same as the other punches (like the paisley maker), makes tags approc 2"x3" with optional hole.

it came today - like all CM shapemakers its big and solid :thumbsup Not sure how well it will cope with Bazzil as I've had blunting issues, but should be fine with other stuff. I plan to use it on old Christmas cards as a post-Christmas activity, and for birthday tags through the year. I might even use it for scrapping :rolleyes:
