I have several MS punches and love them. They are very sturdy and strong. The only thing you need to get used to is that if there is detail on the punchout then the punches are designed to not quite cut the whole shape out. This is to stop it getting caught in the punch. You have to just slide out the paper and carefully pop out the shape and trim any little rough bits!!! You will get them cheaper online than on QVC though!!!!

Thanks very much for your reply. I'll have a look online then. I've resisted everything on QVC so far, I don't know how long for though.

I have 3 of the dragon ones I can stamp you some images if you would like.

Oh would you? that'd be lovely, thank you:D Do you have the one in the rain? If not would you like him stamped? Also any of my other sweetpea ones? Let me know and I'll sort it out. x

LOL. Sorry a lurker here and it's my birthday too. Happy birthday Gemma.

Currently watching QVC. I'm tempted by the TSV Martha Stewart punches (and so much more...) Has anyone else bought them? Are they any good? I was thinking of the All occasions ones (for everyday use).

:bdaycake:Happy birthday to you elysia2003

Also happy birthday :bdaycake: Gemma
hope you both have a great day.

Thankyou so much for the birthday wishes.

I have been lurking on here for weeks. *blushes*

I wander if this is of any use to anyone not on a stash ban, Mad about cards here has 10% off for today and tomorrow.

p.s. I missed out on the MS punches as it just sold out.

Happy Birthday elysia2003 and welcome to the thread.

Padster - I got my card and ATC this morning thank you. The card made me chuckle, that little bear is so cool. I'll blog them later. x

Craftygranny - I have a worried looking snail hiding in it's shell if that's any use? Congratulations on becoming an official fundraiser.

Gemm - already wished you happy birthday, but enjoy your chinese and day of RR. x

I'm off to colour in somemore Sweetpeas and to play with my Glimmer Mist. Enjoy your day everyone. x

Elysia - hi and welcome to the thread! Happy birthday too! I've got quite a few Martha Stewart punches and I think they're fab - you might not use them on every card that you make but I think they are really handy. Oyster Stamps have some good deals on Martha's punches, I've just checked and they're selling edger punches £13.50 each or two for £22. The punch around the page kits start at £18. Its free postage too!
