Have a punchcard making tip to share? Would love to hear it!

Last night I plotted and punched card 381 (having printed the reference document last week). I have blank flat cards and two rolls of blank card material. I have a single manual hole puncher and an easier “punching machine”. I laid a blank card over the roll as a template and penciled in dots, then plotted the pattern holes to punch. After that punching the card was quick but I t’s pretty laborious. Does anyone have any tricks?

I prefer to use the roll for non-full length cards and appreciate the extra length for cards longer than standard.

On Instagram we had these comments:
