Marvy Border Punch Cartridge for Creative Memories Border Punch System

With a minor modification you can use the Marvy Border Punch Cartridges (Cleaver Lever Quick Borders Craft Punch System) with the Creative Memories (CM) Border Punch System.  Marvy Border Punch Cartridges come in 8 beautiful designs.



On the bottom of the punches are small groves that enable to punch to slide into the punch lever.  The CM Punch has 2 groves and the Marvy Punch has only one.  In order for the Marvy Punch to slide into the CM lever the groves need to be gently filed down to match. See below for a comparison.     



The punches stack nicely on top of each other.  You need to mark the mark the Marvy Punch where the groves need to be filed down.  
We used the Black and Decker grinder pictured above to gently create matching groves in the Marvy punch.  
You can also an ordinary stainless steel nail file to file the plastic down.  


The Marvy cartridge will now slide gently into the CM lever.



See below for the beautiful new border.



There is one major difference when using the Marvy cartridges vs the CM cartridges, the Marvy punches don't conveniently pop out of the CM lever when the eject button is pushed, they need to be gently pulled out of the lever.

Please feel free to post any questions you may have and we will be happy to help you.  We also invite you to shop our online store for this and other quality paper crafting products Memorys By Design
