You guessed it – these all need to be added to your catalog too.
Remember, you may need to punch out multiple examples if your punch needs to be represented in multiple categories.
Stencils and Templates are going to be treated similarly to embossing folders although some of your storage options will be different.
What you need:

What to do:
- Gather punches, punch boards, templates, & stencils together

- Give each item a number and number label each punch board container
- Add representations to your catalog
- Punch out punches

Tips – learn from Tiffany’s mistakes.
Create label stickers on your printer
Using something like Avery Labels – I used these from Amazon. They are much faster and easier than using your label maker. Print a sheet for your punches and a matching sheet for your catalog. If you’ve got punches in multiple categories you can either hand write the additional labels or run another sheet through your printer with just the number you need.
Storing Punch/Punch Board Instructions
If your punch boards or other punches included any type of printed instructions. Store those instructions in your catalog.
Sharpen your punches
Help your punches punch more easily by sharpening them with aluminum foil. If punches are sticky, punch through wax paper or silicone treated wax paper this will help lubricate your punches and help them glide more easily.

The printable checklist for this week appears to be missing, though this far into the week it might be too late to do much about. Perhaps treating it like a catch-up week is for the best. :/
