As if the ability to punch holes ANYWHERE on your paper wasn't enough, Fiskars' Eyelet Setters have an easy and compact design.  No hammer or bulk to worry about.  The spring does all of the work for you.  I get perfect punches every time.  Here I used all three sizes in the set to create a monogrammed ribbon card by punching out the center letter and as well as holes to thread my ribbon wreath.

Instructions (Print version)

1.  Trim olive cardstock to 5" x 10" and fold in half to create card base.
2.  Trim Molly's Garden Grid cardstock to a 4.5" square and ink edges.
3.  Center 3" circle template onto square and trace with pencil.  Before removing template, mark off center points at top, bottom, and sides using grid lines.  Mark a point between these center marks, then again between the second set of marks.
4.  Lightly sketch monogram letter in center of circle with pencil.  Using the small and medium setters and craft mat, punch along sketched line using the medium setter around curves and small setter for straighter lines.  Gently erase any remaining pencil lines.
5.  Using large setter on craft mat, punch each mark around circle.

6.  Tape first ribbon to back of square and thread through every over set of holes.  Depending on ribbon used, it may be helpful to tape off ribbon end (think of the end of a shoelace) for easy threading. 
7.  Repeat threading with other ribbon through opposite set of holes.
8.  Cut a 2.5" circle from Meadow Grass Stripe cardstock using Ultra Shapexpress and circle template.  Adhere at an angle behind punched monogram being sure to apply adhesive only to back of monogram cardstock.
9.  Adhere completed square to card base using foam adhesive squares.
