I went to the SECC Hobby crafts show a couple of days ago and bought some punches and templates I saw being demonstrated. I drew out the template - fine, cut out the circle great, started punching - on paper not card and the punch sprung apart! With a great deal of difficulty I got it back together again but had such a job managing to get it to punch. Eventually after it shooting apart again I did it! This was my first complete result and only on paper but I was quite pleased.![]()

Lovely card Jo. I like the punching round in a circle, it makes an effective pattern. Isn't it maddening when you have paid your money for something that comes apart so easily from a craft fair? Years ago, ( i haven't been to one for 3 years!) i bought some tourquoise coloured tile pattern punches, @ roughly £4 each, of course i didn't think to get the name of the shop and they didn't give me a reciept either, as usal at craft fairs! But when i got home and tried them on paper they were useless! The worst £12 i ever spent! On top of the cost of travelling to Birmingham ( it took 4 hours) and the ticket entrance which all added upto £24 before i even spent anything inside, i considered craft fairs a no no from then on? I can honestly say i have never ever had a bargain at a craft fair! Everything is full priced and sometime over priced! Jo i would complian if you knew which shop you got your punch from?

I have an email address I could complain to, but as you say they don't seem to part with their addresses at Craft fairs and I didn't buy the guide as it was another few pounds over and above the entrance fee plus a fiver for Car park - expensive morning out! It would cost a bit to return too so probably I'll mark it down to experience.
