Does anyone on here have a crop-a-dile big bite? Mine has decided it won't set eyelets (which makes it a very expensive hole punch) - has this happened to anyone else? Any tips on how to sort it out?

I'm no help i hardly use mine. Can you e mail the makers and ask for some advice?

just been googling several people have the same problem linky here to a you tube vid .

here's one suggestion and some say it worked for them .

hi , great vid , about setting snaps , i played around with mine and finally hubby came up with easy soloution , punch a hole with the dile that is clostest to your snap size place the snap in the hole and then offer it up to the dile when in place press gently but firmly .


might be worth a try .

Thanks for the tip off about the mag - i have been waiting for this to some out - i will prob give the stamps away as some blog candy so look out!!

tips for using smaller embossing folders - i like to layer mine up sometimes and just use little bits of them too have a look here you may have to go through a couple of pages but there are lots of different styles

Hiya - Did you know about the black and white challenge fifi folle set? I think it ends on the 12th. HTH

The black & white challenge ends midnight on Tuesday 14th September. I didn't set the challenge until the Tuesday so I thought I'd give you all 2 weeks. If you'd all rather it ended on the weekend (12th) that's fine though, just let me know
Soma, as long as the card is mostly black & white that's fine. I will allow a tiny bit of colour. x

Sorry Fifi - I must have got mixed up! That's good about the bit of colour - there's a bit of silver on mine!

Right caught up on 17 pages so far only another 102 to go:eek:

These things may have already completely been and gone but if I don't make comments as I go along my post at the end will be massive.

Rainmac - When I did our wedding invites many years ago I didn't have a heat gun but borrowed a non steam irom which worked just as well for the embossing so it may be an alternative.

Artydoll - Hope your shingles are greatly improved by now.

Glittermum (I think) - Hope Ewan's collar bone is on the mend.

Night all off to Skipton in the morning for the weekend so catch up again on Sunday night.
