Review on DOCrafts CalTrend NS240 08LD Bucket Custom by Lori Aguirre

Revainrating 2 out of 5

This does not work with thick cardboard.

I've seen a lot of smart YouTubers I admire using this kick, so I had high hopes for it. The first paper I used with it was Sweet Blush 100# from Papertrey Ink and I was quite pleased with the ease of use and definitely how smooth the perforated corners were. There are no odd edges near the rounded part like many (most!) corner rounders do. However, when I attempted to round the corners of a folded A2 postcard base using Neenah Classic Crest 110#, it proved almost impossible. I had to use both hands and the punch would not open until I opened it. I feel like I got a regular item because it's definitely not a heavy hitter as many YouTubers claim and demonstrate. It's not a big deal either, but it does have a small spot meant to catch small bits of paper - it doesn't catch anything. It looks like it should work, but it doesn't. If you're not planning on using heavy paper you'll probably love it, but if you're planning on using heavy card stock I wouldn't.

Pros
  • Kicks
Cons
  • Slightly Crumpled

Doesn't work well with heavyweight cardstock.
