A satisfying, lever-action motif punch designed for creating your own vintage journal ephemera and delicate paper accents.

Equipped with a sharp metal blade, it glides effortlessly through 80g–200g cardstock, photo paper, and greeting cards. Each press delivers a crisp, satisfying "click" and a perfectly clean cutout without any torn or burred edges.

Available in three compact machine sizes, these punches are small enough to live in your wooden stationery box or travel pen case. Choose from celestial patterns like stars, or botanical touches like plum blossoms and daisies to match your journal's aesthetic.

Note: Designed for pure paper materials. Do not use on plastic-coated sheets or laminated photos to protect the metal blade.

• Compact Storage: Lightweight ABS body fits perfectly in any desk setup.

FAQ

What materials can I cut with these motif punches?
They work beautifully on standard paper, kraft paper, photo prints, and light cardstock weighing between 80g and 200g. To protect the internal steel blade from dulling, please do not use them on plastic-coated sheets, laminating film, or heavy corrugated board.

How do I know what size the actual cutouts will be?
The collection is divided into three machine sizes. Small punches produce tiny 8–9mm accents (like the Ink Splatter and Daisy). Medium punches deliver classic 15mm shapes (Heart, Plum Blossom), and Large punches cut bold statement pieces up to 29–32mm (Classic Flourish, Constellation).

Can I choose the exact patterns to match my journal layout?
Yes. We offer 14 curated motifs ranging from celestial designs (Starburst, Constellation) to organic botanical touches (Little Daisy, Classic Flourish). Each punch is sold individually, allowing you to handpick and collect the exact shapes that fit your specific dark academia or vintage aesthetic.

How do I clean up the paper bits and tiny cutouts?
Each motif punch is designed with a built-in storage compartment at the bottom, secured by a clear, transparent lid. It neatly catches and stores your custom ephemera pieces as you press, keeping your wooden stationery workspace clean and clutter-free.

Why is my punch tearing very thin tracing paper instead of cutting it?
Delicate papers under 60g (like thin vellum or tissue paper) lack the structural resistance needed for a clean punch. Simply place a sheet of standard 80g printer paper directly underneath your thin paper, press the lever down, and you will get a flawlessly crisp edge.
