Wow! I never noticed those lines. Thank you for sharing. I don't have the big punch, and now I know how to punch sheets that I want to include in my planner.
Thank you! I just got my punch and thought it would be self explanatory, but not-so-much. I didn't see any of the guide marks you pointed out, so thank you for doing that. What a difference it makes in my understanding how to use the darned thing. Well done!
OMG right?? I figured it would at least come with some dang directions, but nope and there were no tutorials for it on YT that I could find. So, once I figured the thing out... lol I made a tutorial. 😍 I am glad you found it useful.
Haha...yup, that was me. Went to our Staples today and they had Happy Notes notebooks (dotted lined paper) for $5.97. Thought that was a good price...60 pages with heart-shaped black discs. Worth the price just for the covers and discs! Several different patterned covers. I have totally given up on Michaels b/c Staples always has a bigger selection.
Cool! Thanks for the heads up. I have to head into Staples at some point.. so I will take a look. Michael's- I have to head in there at some point too... just trying to figure out the when. I was going to hit the one in Surrey and see what they had. I will keep ya posted.
Thank you! I had seen the lines but didn't know what they were for. There are 4...two are marked and two not. Marked are 1/2 up against the handle and then a blank mark, followed by 3/4 and another blank prior to the mushroom. Thanks again!! ⚾️
Hmm...that is a gre4at question! lmao- one I haven't played with to figure it out but they are measurements so I'm guessing it's to guide us for different spacing between the punched holes. I will have to play around with it a bit more. I will keep you posted.
That is awesome! Thanks for the tutorial! That makes so much sense. I’ll have to figure out which one will work for the big. That’s my size 😊. I so appreciate you doing this video for us! ❤
Thank you for shering Reenie!! I had no idea and I've had min for over 2 years now. This was so helpful. I have a quick question you mentioned that the marking you use is for classic so does that mean that the others are can be used for the other sizes (micro, Big), or it doesn't matter? That same marking can be used for all HP sizes?
Hey Michelle! Lmao-- I didn't notice the dang thing for ages myself, so you're not alone. I would imagine they would be the same but I would test it. I didn't measure if the space between the edge of the paper and the first punch was the same on the classic and big. I'm also struggling with brain fog currently, so hopefully that makes sense. lol
You're welcome Andrea! I'm glad you found it useful. It "should" work the same but if it was me, I would probably use one of my covers as a guide and mark where that first punch is located. Now, I'm curious.. I may have to test this out. I have only used it for pages or dashboards.
Thank you so much for this video, I saw the markings, but never knew what they were for. Did you purchase the dot grid paper from an Etsy shop or did you make it yourself? I checked your shop to see if it was there, didn't see it.
You're welcome! I'm glad it was helpful. The dot grid is something i made. It will be in the shop in the next day to so. I just have to finish creating all the thumbnails etc..
I must be doing something wrong! When I punch covers, the mushrooms start out lined up with a happy planner made cover but then around the middle punch all the holes after no longer line up and the cover bunches on the discs. What am I doing wrong. I always use an HP cover to start the first punch. When I compare my cover to the HP cover the first 4 punches are spot on. Then everything starts to shift. Then when I poop the cover on the discs it's bunched at the bottom and doesn't turn right.
Apologies on the delay in replying, Crazy busy holiday season. Without seeing what's actually going on, it's hard to say. What I did before I figured this out was I start with a regular single hole punch in the center punch and then used the crop a dile from there. So, I would make marks on what I want to punch using a single hole punch and the cut the stem out with scissors. I would use the cropadile from there. It works really well and you can't tell the center has been cut with a regular hole punch when it's on the discs.
Thanks for sharing this very helpful tip Reenie. I completely "missed the mark" 😂
Lmao! I'm glad you found it useful.
Chef’s Kiss lady! I saw the measurement, but still didn’t know how to use it until you demonstrated how- mind blown!🤯
You're very welcome!
Yeppers, I am one that NEVER knew those guides were there. I have never seen them till just now. Good grief
Thanks for sharing
You're very welcome
I didn’t know about the lines or even a place to empty. Thank you for that info 😊
You're very welcome Elaine. I'm glad it was useful.
I had seen those lines but didn't know what they were for. Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure!

Thanks for pointing this out. I immediately went to check it out and try it. 😂 And of course it worked. I love these tips. 😊
You're so welcome! I'm glad it was helpful.
😅 never knew about the marking lines and I've had mine for two years!!! Yay- thank you
My pleasure!

I always just grabbed a second punched paper to use as a guide :) thanks for the tip!
My pleasure!
Thank you so much! I wanted to buy it but had no idea how to start it. You are the only person I found who actually talked about this important step.
You're very welcome Helene! I'm glad you found it useful. I have heard it doesn't work with all sizes. I have only used it with classic size.
Thanks for the info and for the idea to print dot grid paper!
You're very welcome!
Thank you! I had seen the lines but didn't know what they were for. There are 4...two are marked and two not. Marked are 1/2 up against the handle and then a blank mark, followed by 3/4 and another blank prior to the mushroom. Thanks again!! ⚾️
You're very welcome Ann! I'm glad it was useful.
Thanks for tip, I just used sharpie to mark the line.
Right? Sharpie makes it visible. lol
I didn't know about the guide lines. I've always used a HP divider the mark the punch spots on my printed sheets. Good to know.Thanks!
My pleasure! I'm glad you found it useful.
Thank you for the tip! What are the other guides on it for, different size paper; mini HP?
Hmm...that is a gre4at question! lmao- one I haven't played with to figure it out but they are measurements so I'm guessing it's to guide us for different spacing between the punched holes. I will have to play around with it a bit more. I will keep you posted.
Oh wow, I did not know this. I just got mine yesterday.. thanks for the info.
My pleasure!
Thank you I never noticed it. Now I know.😊
You’re welcome 😊
Thanks
You're very welcome! 😍
thank you....awesome
You are welcome!
Thank you so much! I kept wondering how to start the page.
You are so welcome!
Love it❤
I'm so glad!
Thank u, this is very helpful!
You're very welcome!
Thank you
You're welcome
Thank you for the info
You're very welcome!
That is awesome! Thanks for the tutorial! That makes so much sense. I’ll have to figure out which one will work for the big. That’s my size 😊. I so appreciate you doing this video for us! ❤
My pleasure Ruth.
One would assume the spacing would be the same.. but ya know what assuming gets us? 🤣
It should be the same just 2 much punch spots compared to the classic.
Awesome! Thanks!
No problem!
What the F*** I never even noticed them!!! Thank you for this!!
Right? They're almost invisible and it's not like the damn thing comes with an instruction booklet.
Mine doesn't line up exactly, but I can draw a line with a Sharpie. Thanks for at least getting me in the ballpark!
My pleasure. I'm glad you found it useful.

Hi, thank you this has been most helpful. Would you line it up in the same spot if you make your own laminated covers? Kind regards, Andrea xo
You're welcome Andrea! I'm glad you found it useful. It "should" work the same but if it was me, I would probably use one of my covers as a guide and mark where that first punch is located.
Now, I'm curious.. I may have to test this out. I have only used it for pages or dashboards.
Thank you xo
Thank you that was helpful
Glad it helped
❤️
Thanks Patricia!
So what guide mark do I use for mini size
I had to pull out a mini piece of insert paper to test. lol
It is the 1/4 mark. the one closest to the head of the punch.
Thank you so much for this video, I saw the markings, but never knew what they were for. Did you purchase the dot grid paper from an Etsy shop or did you make it yourself? I checked your shop to see if it was there, didn't see it.

It different for the cover tho... Because it's bigger
Oh, good to know. Thanks
How did I not ever notice the lines!! ??
Because they're damn near invisible Krista. lmao
