    Hi all,

    I just wondered if anyone could recommend a long reach punch for ribbon? I have found a couple but the holes are only 6mm, I could do with about 10mm.
    Do these exist or do people make their own holes using a craft knife?

    Many thanks

    Jill

    WannaB & TomsMum - I've heard back from Alee81 :jso she should contact the blog when she gets home.

    ScattyJan - sorry, I don't know anything about Pollycraft going off line I've always thought they were OK. I've only moved house twice & hope never to do it again!:( even though I'd like somewhere much smaller to clean. Hope things get going soon.

    Jill.b sorry I can't help with that - but perhaps if you can tell us just what you are trying to do we might be able to suggest an alternative?

    Wifey - Can you let me know when my envelope arrives please?

    Hi OAP
    thanks for that
    it said on the shop yesterday that certain things wouldnt be posted till certain dates I think it was promarkers and something else - it actually says the provider has shut the site down? I have never had to wait for digi's before always got them straight away .
    Jill sorry I dont know about a big punch

    Hi,

    I want to make a hole at the back of a card to thread thick satin ribbon through so then it will tie at the front. I suppose I could use a craft knife if the item doesnt exist

    Thanks anyway for the replies

    jill b how wide is the ribbon? I've got a Cropadile but I'm limited as to where you punch the hole, probably no more than an inch from the edge but I think they do a long reach punch, might be useful to try some online craft stores, try here

  • just made a red and green card with a dragon on looks FABULOUS! but think it still needs a bit more
  • I'll try and put some of my cards on here soon made a blog but just have to take some pics of the cards hope u all having a great day:rotfl:
