Making a PUNCH Template !!

I am sure many punches can fit many sets.  So, this is how I made my own template...

• I ought a pack of 8 1/2 x 11 sheets that has pockets to hold biz cards (you can buy individual pockets, like name holders, but this was cheaper and took up less room and was EZier to use.  Each of my sheets holds ten cards).
• I cut scrap pieces of CS to fit into each pocket.
• Then I punched out a shape on a scrap piece of card stock for each punch I have (sometimes, I was able to punch more than one on punch on that size CS).  I also wrote the size/name of each punch on the front and back of each piece of CS.
• I have 3 pages and hold the pages together with 2 key rings.

Now, I have a template for every punch I own.  I simply slide the template over any stamp in the IB&C or stamp that I have to see which one best bits.  This actually did take me a bit of time, but it was worth it many times over!!!
