2.5 Inch Circle Punchers for Happy Saints Badges
If you plan on printing and making round badges from the Happy Saints eBooks, a hole puncher will be very helpful indeed. The badges in the ebooks are 2.5 inch in diameter if you print them at 100% size.
Here are some 2.5 inch circle punches you can buy from Amazon. Product links are below the image. You can also consider fancier types, such as those with scalloped edges.
Disclosure: I do not have affiliate links for the links below. I personally own the Uchida punch and find it very good.

- Check 'Use fixed resolution for Snapshot tool images' and set the number of pixels/inches to 300.
- Try extracting the image again.

Enquiries on Happy Saints Cupcakes Toppers
Hi Friends!!
I have recently received quite a few enquiries on Happy Saints cupcake toppers, probably because many people have seen them on the highly recommended Catholic Icing website, and a few other places.
I do not provide templates for cupcakes toppers. I do have downloadable ebooks available that feature 2.5inch badges of saints that you may print out and make your own toppers, or any other paper crafts. View the entire ebook catalog.
If you are planning to make your own paper crafts e.g. cupcake toppers, bingo game etc., you can check out my instructional on how to extract images from the ebooks.
Some have also asked where they can download free Happy Saints images. I do post previews of saints on my website and you may use these preview images for your personal and non-commercial use. However, the images are watermarked and are low resolution… and I do not archive what I post. A complete collection of high-quality, watermark-free Happy Saints badges is only available in the ebook collection.
Hope this helps to clarify!
Thank you and God bless!
