My butterfly option TSV has arrived and it works!
My original punch around the page of the loops option didn't work, and I thought I would give this another go because I really liked that deep fan and the double look, and woohoo it works! I must have had a slightly off centre one last time.
One small worry, the underside of the double fan looks a bit fragile and the first cut was a little ragged. I shall persevere, knowing that QVC will take it back if it does break.
That's the one thing you can say for QVC, their CS is head and shoulders above any other company, expect perhaps for Amazon. No arguments, no we need to test it first; just send it back and you get credited. So unless it continues to be a little ragged I'm hanging onto this one!
Butterfly was much smaller than I anticipated though. No wonder you are sposed to stamp and then punch, the other way around would be a nightmare. I might try and flog that one on ebay.

My flower option came today too - still waiting for the butterfly.
So far looks great, I am really pleased
the butterfly punch is the best I have seen such detail...and love the deep punch my fave...they are fantastic defo pleased and they seem easy to match up as well?

It does seems to be a bit random how quickly/slowly QVC despatches items, doesn't it?:confused:

Boooo mine hasn't arrived either - it isn't unusual to have an early evening delivery on Friday from my courier though, so I'm still holding out a bit of hope :rolleyes: :D
To be fair, I think QVC do normally pull out all the stops to quickly despatch TSVs, compared to normal items. I still want mine now though :p

:D I'm hoping to do that with the bazzill OTO!!! ;)
My stuff always takes forever and a day from QVC :rolleyes: If I order on a Tuesday it's not uncommon for it not to arrive until Saturday week after that!!! :eek:

Glad yours is working as it should this time, Looby :) Think the MS punches can be a bit random but they're such lovely designs and, as you say, with QVC you know they'll always take it back if it breaks, even if it's outside the 30days.

Both of my sets arrived today, that was so quick as usually I am waiting a week or so! Have just tried the punches out on some scrap paper and they punch beautifully but have to try and "punch around the page" yet!!

Which EK Success punches was it that you were thinking of buying Misty? I've been eyeing the large swirl flourish, large wave flourish and retro flower. Def not the cheapest punches but I think I'd use them a lot...

I was looking at the large & small retro flower punches. Havn't noticed the swirl flourish (luckily) but it sounds lovely............sneaks off to hunt it down :D

Does anyone know how to do the deep-edger punch back to back to make the big flower trim iykwim?
I'm assuming the strip of paper has to be a certain width?
Help! :)

Hooray, my butterfly option punches have just arrived, so I still have some weekend time to play with them :D
Bazzill OTO also arrived, which looks lovely, along with :o the My Minds Eye huge pack of papers, which unfortunately is going straight back. Although the packaging looks robust, there is a very noticeable dent which affects the whole pad - second time this has happened to me with a big paper pad :(

What a shame with your MME pad Wins. Is it still in stock, can you re-order. I thought it looked gorgeous when it was demoed and great value for money, but I had already over extended myself.
My Sybil Fawlty (sorry Bazzilllllll) is on it's way and am looking forward to getting it.

They came by courier, luvtocraft - hope yours turn up soon!
I've been happily punching out daisy strips, haven't tried the other punches yet :D
The MME is out of stock, so it was refund only, Looby. TBH I'm not desperately disappointed, as I didn't think the papers were quite as lush in the flesh as they appeared on screen. There are certainly some lovely designs and the pack is really great value for money (if it hadn't been squished!). You know what we crafters are like though :rolleyes: I already have a *very* large quantity of 12 x 12 paper and I have realised in the cold light of day that I can probably live without this particular pad, especially given my purchases later in the week :p

Me too, frustrating isn't it?! :rolleyes: Realised yesterday that that's what I object to most with QVC's p&p. I never mind paying for the luxury of having goods delivered to my door but, not only are QVC's postal charges expensive, but the service I experience is DIRE. You'd think I lived in the back and beyond, the length of time it takes them to get anything to me. I'll be lucky if it's here by next weekend. By the time it arrives I've gone long past the stage of looking forward to it and have forgotten I ordered it!! :D
