One of our members uses fence punches and glues 3-four layers of 80-weight card stock together to get the thickness for putz house fences. This is more elaborate than I've seen in that application, though. Thanks for sharing.

I don't remember which fence punch Maria found or if it was a Martha Stewart punch (Maria always finds cool stuff), but here is a sample of the Martha Stewart fence punches that I have. Since I have gotten into making little houses, I have accumulated quite a collection of punches and dies because I am not very good at cutting stuff out.

The bad news - I don't think the Martha Stewart line is making these anymore. You can find most of them on ebay and amazon though. I've found that 110# cardstock is too thick for these punches. Usually I use 65-80# cardstock and glue the layers together which is a bit of challenge because everything has to be lined up perfectly.
