Oh, gypsies - This is BIG

The Binderie punch Artists' series!

It's RED and it's HOT but not for long! Our Gypsy Friends have transformed their Binderie Punches from 'Little Red Hotties' into mini works of art!

We've got the entire scrap-booking world playing with the hottest tool in bookbinding.

Some of our favorite friends have altered their 7gypsies Binderie Punches to reflect their artistic style.

Who knew you you could cover it with plum blossom branches like Heidi Swapp, or transform it into a Cosmo Cricket mini toaster complete with cover!? We were so excited by Basic Grey's Binderie Bling that we just had to create a gallery filled with these beauties for you to oooooh and aaaaaah over.

We invite you, our Fellow Gypsies, to...

Spend some time exploring our Galleries to see these funky, fabulous Binderie Punches. (Scroll down or click here to see ALL of them in alphabetical order).
Find out our 7gypsies founder's favorite thing to punch, along with the favorites of the rest of our friends.
Watch our demo videos to see what all the buzz is about
Get inspired to decorate one of your very own for a chance to win The Ultimate Binderie Giveaway and have YOUR Binderie Punch featured at the 7gypsies booth at CHA Summer!
Click on our GOSSIP link to find out who's talking about the Binderie Punch. Our friends will be giving away Binderie Punches every week in June, and we'll be giving you details about where to go for those giveaways.
And finally, we hope you'll become one of the gypsies in our new Photo Gallery! Create a free login and upload photos of your decorated punch, comment on your favorite punches, and even vote for the Ultimate Binderie Giveaway winner!

Can't wait to see what YOU create...

Rachel Carlson 7gypsies artist and instructor Favorite thing to punch: "Thick book board because it goes right through when you think it might not." www.lostintheattic.typepad.com View additional photos here
Paula Cheney 7gypsies artist and instructor "My favorite thing to punch is a stack of cardstock because it is so hard to do with a hole puncher and get the pages to match. With the Binderie Punch, there is so little effort to get it perfect. There is not a lot in life that you can say that about." View additional photos here
Renee Comacho 7gypsies artist and instructor www.reneecamacho.blogspot.com
Cosmo Cricket (Lisa Falduto) Friend of the Gypsies "A list of my favorite Cosmo products to use in the punch: While any of the Cosmo Cricket paper collections are a great fit for the Binderie, my favorite collections right now to use with my Binderie would have to be Early Bird, Girl Friday, and Snorkel. The other thing I love about the Binderie is that it works perfectly for the Cosmo Cricket Blackboard albums. While they come with holes already, if you want to add any holes to the album this is a fast and easy way to do it and get them lined up correctly at the same time!" www.cosmocricket.com www.cosmocricket.typepad.com View additional photos here

Carol Wingert 7gypsies instructor "Here it is...an overstuffed gypsie chair...aka binderie punch. I used one of the city scape board pieces for the back...threaded it with dyed cheesecloth and added flowers and leaves.The punch body was decoupaged with tissue, gessoed and then stamped with 7 g's stamps. Some leaf trim and a piece of tied cheesecloth complete the look. The punch is totally usable...the button at the top was left undecorated and the bottom where the guides are is also left untouched." www.carolwingert.typepad.com View additional photos here
