I will be using 1" hexagons in my next project. Does anyone out there know if the large Creative Memories hexagon punch makes hexagons with 1" sides?

Back to the drawing board.
So, earlier I mentioned that I had ordered a Creative Memory hexagon punch from eBay. Well, due to overzealous bidding on my part, I have TWO (of the same size). I have been so excited thinking that I could cut time and increase accuracy through making my own hexagon shapes. I received one of them in the mail today, and was sad that I didn't realize that the size of the cutter did not equate to the measurement of each hexagon side. I purchased the .75 and 1 inch hexagon maker. I thought each side of the hexagon was .75 and 1 inch respectively. Nope. The size is the width of the hexagon. My bad! This is useless to me, and I will have two of them! Back to eBay they go!

I made the same mistake so you are not alone. What I understand is that the large punch makes hexagons 3/4" and 5/8" on a side. I really wanted the 3/4" size so I may try again to purchase. I use 67lb vellum that I buy from my local paper store. Here's a way to print an easy to cut out 1" hexagon: http://www.texasfreckles.com/p/downloads-patterns.html
