I mostly regret the scallop shapes, though they have come in handy making Christmas ornaments. The ones I've used the most are the leaf, flower, star, and heart punches, plus the snowflake and holly punches for Christmas. I regret the tag punches...tags are just too easy to make to justify the space the punches take up. Brands include Fiskars, Martha Stewart, Marvy, StampinUp, and no-name ones. Hope that helps!<br /><br />Keep in mind that I don't have a die cut machine or any dies at all, and a lot of these punches were purchased half-price at Michael's, JoAnn's, and Hobby Lobby over a very long period of time!
