Meet the Extra-Large Two-Step Bird punch from the Autumn-Winter Mini Catalogue...

You will notice first off that the style of the punch is quite different from Stampin' Up!'s standard black design. Starting with the 2010 Autumn-Winter Mini Catalogue and continuing with all new punch designs going forward, Stampin' Up! has adopted a new body style for punches. While the black-bodied punches are great, Stampin' Up!'s committment to providing the very best crafting tools means that even if something works very well, if they see a chance to improve it, they will work to made it even better.
