[barney]

There is a We R Memory Keepers TSV on Tuesday 1st July.

Any ideas what it's going to be yet ?

Thanks

Barney

[Dips]

Hi Barney

It's going to be the Big Bite:D Everyone is very excited - we had a long thread on it before BB (Big Bang), lol!

[Jeanette]

I didn't realised the Big Bite had been confirmed as the TSV. I must have been asleep again :D

[Anne]

Hi Barney

I'm not excited. :)

Gosh, QVC nearly managed to knock off a tenner. Only nearly though.

[Dips]

Just put mine on cheque hold, waiting for some funds to clear into my account that I use to pay QVC, which should be in tomorrow. I will use this lots.

[Anne]

That does seem a very good price. Still not excited though! :D

[LorraineJ]

Got mine already, wonder if they will do a special on the storage case to go with it.

[Phree]

I will be skint and eating beans by the 1st of July, hubby doesn't know it yet but he is about to find on out Sunday why I agreed to him having a PS3 when we bought the new telly :D However do I care......not reallly as the BB is not something I think I would use much.

[3BC]

Thanks Jeanette, I'm wondering whether to order it now, as I know that I want it and just for once, I actually NEED it too! LOL

[Prudence2]

Postage is pretty high!:p:eek:

[Flowerpot]

I'd love to get one of these, but I spent out on Glenda's stuff. So for now I'll have to keep using the small bite.

[sheilaj]

This seems a good saving for a change, can you tell me is it possible to order this at the TSV price at the moment? Or do we have to wait?

if you go to www.qvcukmobile.com and put in the number you can get it now, I just did!

[sheilaj]

does anyone have the number for the storage box please?

Thanks for that Jeanette. Think I will have a look before I decide if to buy it or not.

[SUPERCOOLWILLOW]

dont think that will be the qvc price as there is no way they will knock nearly £10 off the price for a tsv

[Anne]

Once it's been a TSV, it'll then go to an Introductory Price somewhere between TSV price and QVC price.

[Linderella]

I just ordered mine from the website. great saving. will use this loads

Linda

[SUPERCOOLWILLOW]

the qvc price or the TSV price is either wrong or something is not right as that is too much of a saving when its a tsv for this kind of price range

[Marzipan]

well my moneys safe when it comes to the TSV!

[SUPERCOOLWILLOW]

NEWS JUST IN LOL

new QVC price "Normal QVC Price: £28.50"

[Marzipan]

now that seems more like the discount were used too!

[LorraineJ]

I am beginning to wonder whether there were eyelets in the packaging I threw away, in which case *! *! *!

[Marzipan]

oops that wont be very good will it Lorraine, but surely it would of said on the front of the packet that it contained x amount of eyelets???

[LorraineJ]

oops that wont be very good will it Lorraine, but surely it would of said on the front of the packet that it contained x amount of eyelets???

Come to think of it, there was nothing in the bottom apart from the instructions in a variety of languages, therefore I haven't thrown any eyelets away phew - gave me a nasty moment though.

[Marzipan]

thats a good think now just keep telling yourself that lol

[LorraineJ]

thats a good think now just keep telling yourself that lol

I will :D I have realised now I could not have thrown the eyelets away because I cut the bottom out to get the eyelet machine out and opened up the bottom section.

[Marzipan]

good, wouldnt want to throw away eyelets!!!

[SUPERCOOLWILLOW]

yes thats more of the saving i was thinking of

[Marzipan]

i wonder if QVC did that on purpose so that went we found it early we would rush to buy it cause it was a 'good' saving???

[sugarplum]

the TSV one is pink!

[Dips]

the TSV one is pink!


Most Excellent - I wasn't that keen on Orange! BTW, did anyone else notice that Candy lady using her purple (therefore QVC purchased) C-O-D on CAC the other day:D?

[SUPERCOOLWILLOW]

pink ohh nice

[Sandra]

Most Excellent - I wasn't that keen on Orange! BTW, did anyone else notice that Candy lady using her purple (therefore QVC purchased) C-O-D on CAC the other day:D?

Yes ... I did!

[Sandra]

pink ohh nice

Pink? will defo pay for mine now, put it on cheque hold, thanks to this thread, last night.

[3BC]

Pink, oh Yuk! :mad:

I really wanted this but I'm going to save my money and wait for a good deal at an independent now.

Are QVC shoppers extra girly then? Apparently WRMK think so! :confused:

[Dips]

I've converted mine from cheque hold too, so hopefully should get it early next week!

[Sandra]

I prefer Pink to orange.... I think my poor BB wouldn't be as 'loved' in orange as it would look too much like one of hubby's tools

[LynneH]

Pink, oh Yuk! :mad:

It's probably Dawn's influence!

[icebubble]

I'm trying to tell myself I don't need it as I have a CAD. I'm also presently on a one woman mission to buy the entire world stocks of Cuttlebug embossing folders. Could do with finding some willpower - anyone have any to lend me? :D

Nope, I'm really weakening over the Christmas POD on CAC - even though I know that they'll sell it on Extravaganza in a few weeks time!!! But I've convinved myself that the BB is a business purchase;)

[Bloomin' Myrtle]

I've been saving myself (apart from fabric buying of course) for the BB.

I hope it comes with a good package like the CoD did.

[icebubble]

Don't weaken Dips put the credit card down and step away from the computer! It will probably be cheaper in a few weeks and that would be annoying for you. There will be plenty of other Christmas goodies they haven't started bombarding us with them yet.

I need to come and work for your business then. :D

[satincollie]

Just bought the BB aswell :D really want to play with this as I haven't got the C-O-D.

[Bloomin' Myrtle]

I've just ordered mine too :)

Let me know when you'v got the set, I've nearly got them all - there are a few dodgy ones though, you know I haven't got any willpower!

Luckily the BB doesn't attract me one bit, I hardly use my Crop-o-dile; in fact I find more technically challenging than my laptop!

[SUPERCOOLWILLOW]

tsv price now £23.39 which is a little more money off lol

plus i like itb ut cant afford it

I agree ROC - when I need it, I'm glad I have it but I very rarely use it so a bigger one doesn't really 'talk to me'

[Marzipan]

I agree Von when i need mine its great otheriwse it just sits in its box, mine you you sould see RW trying to use the C-O-D its hilarious!!!!

[Julie]

I use mine for weighting things down more than anything else.

[Marzipan]

nah thats what a dictionary is for if i need to know how to spell something i call on google!!!!!

[Rentochops]

I use mine for weighting things down more than anything else.

Blimey I thought I was in the minority in not getting excited about the BB..I am not alone LOL:D

My OH is a Civil Engineer so I let him make the holes, last time I used the COD was for the bookmark swap;

Can we have a YouTube clip of RW using the COD Marzi?

[Marzipan]

i coud try but i some how dont think she would let me post it ROC

[kate0673]

if you go to www.qvcukmobile.com and put in the number you can get it now, I just did!

Thanks for info, ordered:)

[SUPERCOOLWILLOW]

i`d like it but not sure if i have a full use of it depends if its on easy pay

[Wellington]

i`d like it but not sure if i have a full use of it depends if its on easy pay

I ain't as much of an expert on QVC as you SCW, but I really can't see it being on Easy Pay - if it's anything at all like the C-O-D, it'll zap out of the warehouse with no probs & I very much suspect QVC know this.

In the 12months or so that I've been watching crafty QVC, I think I've only seen one TSV on Easy Pay on TSV day - the Do Crafts sticker kit from last April that was my first ever purchase from QVC exactly cos it was on Easy Pay...

[Winspiration]

My money is safe on this one - I don't really have a burning need to eyelet anything further in than the crop-o-dile will reach, and if I do, I have another eyelet setter that I haven't got round to using yet.

I haven't really got the full hang of the crop-o-dile yet - i.e. setting the eyelet without squashing it. I really need to read the instructions properly :rolleyes: and sit down and have a bit of a practice with it.

thought it was only me that manages to ruin the bigger eyelets when setting them :mad: Will not be buying the BB as the CAD is okay for what I need it for. Why have they put it up for sale so early???????????

[Dips]

I use my COD mostly for creating holes for ribbon and I need to be able to create, say, 200 cards with holes in the same place ;). The BB will be invaluable to me as it will really increase the variability for where I can thread ribbon:)

[sheilaj]

mine shipped yesterday!!!!!! would be great if it arrived on or before tuesday!!

..tried that and don't understand the instructions..

[sheilaj]

the trick is to go really gently on the squeeze and make sure you have the right bits selected

[Winspiration]

Thanks Sheila - I really need to practise a bit - I have tried altering the bits, but never seem to get it quite right!

[Evangel]

Thanks for the info everyone..... been waiting for this for ages!

[Jeanette]

It took me a while to get used to the crop a dile settings. For the eyelets that came with the CAD, I use A on the top setting and 2 on the bottom.

[Winspiration]

Thanks, Jeanette - I'll give that a whirl :)

[Marzipan]

so far i havent had any problems with my C-O-D now my boingers (eyelet setters) well we just wont go their plus they STINK!!!!

my local craft store has the case plus gromlets for 9.99 which is the standard price and if the eyelets are just the standard kind, I already have loads (no photo up currently) so I'll probably get it locally

[jeanfan]

I`ve been resisting buying this since I first saw the thread but my willpower has just let me down.I do use my CAD lots but might try and sell it after I`ve played with the BB.Think I`ll turn off now,who knows what else I`ll buy if I don`t.:cool:

[Wellington]

Think I`ll turn off now,who knows what else I`ll buy if I don`t.:cool:

Good 'ere innit :D LOL

[Prudence2]

Bought mine on Q mobile = does anyone know if it is coming by courier or by post? I hope it gets here in less than a fortnight.

[icebubble]

Heeeelllllppppp! I'm starting to think I need this. I am weak and have zero willpower quick someone talk me down or I fear at midnight this will be doing the hokey cokey in and out of my basket. :eek:

[purdycraft]

so far i havent had any problems with my C-O-D now my boingers (eyelet setters) well we just wont go their plus they STINK!!!!

I have those and they are a right load of rubbish. Fortunately I purchased them from the outlet shop so didn't pay much for them. I should have realised when I saw they were by Fiskars that they would be no good. The only decent Fiskars product that I have are their scissors.

[Marzipan]

mine were from the outlet shop too, managed to put a lovely hole in the mat that came with them but hey ho that will do for when i cant reach with my COD

[Phree]

If I have read this correctly the BB case and gromlets are being sold seperately from the BB itself? If so then paying nearly £26 (after factoring in p&p) for those items seems a bit expensive to me.

[Marzipan]

seems that way to me too no mention of the actual BB in the info

[Phree]

Yep that's what I thought too Marzi, unfortunately there does not seem to be a picture either - but that could be my computer/internet connection as I got HUGE lag trying to access the QVC site and view that item number.... the page did download eventually but the there is no picture there, only the frame were the photo would usually appear.

[Marzipan]

no their was no picture with the item either Phree

the one on QVC does seem a bit excessive

I found this, it doesnt have the eyelets but a lot cheaper

No eyelets but the gromets are the same...which makes it over £10 for the 680 eylets and the fact that its Pink!

It punches effortlessly through paper, fabric, leather, plastic, wood, and even thin tin with its impressive 15cm (6") reach. It can also be adjusted to set a variety of sizes of eyelet, gromlet, brad or snap. The lightweight tool comes with 340 gromlets in a variety of shapes and colours, plus a total of 12 designer gromlets in Frenzy and Party designs. You also get step-by-step instructions and an inspirational ideas sheet to get you started.

[Bloomin' Myrtle]

I'm pleased I already ordered mine, I have to say I'm impressed with the value.

[Julie]

I forgot again !!!!!!

Not that I wanted to buy, but I love all the hype at the beginning :(

[Bluebell]

I have ordered mine :D

[Wellington]

I still don't want it - fun watching the demos though

I nearly forgot too Julie - I was packing my stash away at about 11pm when I remembered it was TSV day.

I Sky+'d it! I won't be buying though, besides the fact I can't work my COD, I'm not an eyelet type of girl!

[Jeanette]

I was going to resist today but have given in already. I have been buying the larger style eyelets/gromlets separately and they're not cheap. It is a real bargain so I'm buying it and giving my CAD to my MIL!!

[juzzab]

Just watched it again & it looks like there are some designer gromlets with the case as well.

[sugarplum]

As well as the 100 gromlets which come as standard with the £9.99 orange case there are also 50 designer eyelets (these retail at £3.50 for 6 else where) and 180 extra large eyelets and 450 large eyelets
I've got it on chequehold along with a big bite

[3BC]

Well I don't like pink, and I won't be ordering it!



At least that's what I said to DH until he walked in and saw me ordering it at 12.05. :o:o:o

Oh come on? I held out for a full FIVE minutes! LOL

The BB is going to stay out on my craft table. I know if I put it in a box I wont use it have as much. The designer eyelets look FAB though but I must keep telling myself No No No!!!

[Buttercup]

I never got around to ordering a Crop-a-dile, so have ordered the TSV today. The extra long reach looks exceptionally useful, so I'm glad I waited. Bit miffed the case doesn't automatically come with it though!

[nicecupoftea]

I've been waiting for this since March and now it's just the wrong time of the month to be paying out for a glorified hole punch ( I'm trying to convince myself I'm doing the right thing). Just haven't got the money at the moment to be spending out on this. Aren't I good?

Well I've got to make sure I've got enough money for the Liz Earle TSV on Saturday and I'm going to the envelope shop tomorrow...

I`ve just ordered it as well,I do love eyelets.I`m not sure how many designer ones I`ll actually use but they`ll be lovely to look at!!I`m getting a bonus at work on Friday so I still have some money to spend.:D:D:D

[Anne]

I find it rather odd that a TSV (of any kind, not just craft) has its first daytime showing at 2pm. Normally you'd have a morning showing at 10 or 11am with a second showing at 1 or 2pm.

[WillyNilly]

Posted this on ST earlier
Item 585921 £9.57
20 Packs of Extra Large Coloured Eyelets 12 in per packet = 240 eyelets, lovely mix of colours
and I have seen a packet of 16 for £3.50 on the net so I think they are good value.

[Rainbowwand]

Have to say i thought that too Anne, very odd :confused: although it was in the nine o'clock morning show,

[satincollie]

:D:D:D:D Mine's arrived. Oh what can I play with first LOL

[nicecupoftea]

Keep away from the curtains, bedding, rug and anything else you may regret later!

Bet they thought it would sell out quickly and they might have to have OTOs on other shows throughout the day.

[juzzab]

I was wondering the same thing :)

[Winspiration]

Wise advice, nicecupoftea - is that the voice of experience? :D :p

[Bloomin' Myrtle]

Oh dear, Just ordered the case too.

That really is me done for a very long time :o

[icebubble]

Oh dear I need to confess. :o I somehow managed to buy both the BB and the case with all the extras. I know I said yesterday I was going to resist but I couldn't. I am so weak.

I was swayed by how easy it is to use and the fact that you can accurately measure where you place an eyelet. My excuse for the case is I don't have one! :D I thought the value of all the extras was good and thought if I don't order now I'll regret it.

Anyway it's my DH's fault for opening a QVC account so I can use his credit card - it would be rude not to. ;)

[Dips]

I've just put the case on cheque hold whilst I think about it. I don't think I'm going to see any shows until the 11pm one this evening, but I did want to secure the case should I actually want it:p! Still hoping my BB will arrive today!

Well I've got to make sure I've got enough money for the Liz Earle TSV on Saturday and I'm going to the envelope shop tomorrow...

Would it help to put it on cheque hold and the you can amend the payment method in a couple of weeks?

I did this too I often do these days I helps to decide if you really want it or are just caught up with the hype I usually convert it to my card a few days later if I still want

[nicecupoftea]

Thanks for the tip Sugarplum, but I'm a here and now girl. That's what comes of having a father who was a bank manager. I don't have a regular income coz I look after my little angel full time so my pocket money is just what I get in from card sales. Will put it on the Crimbo list. I can be very patient at times. Hubby and father can then fight over it as to who gives it to me. That's if nothing more tempting comes along in the meantime...

[Jan]

Have just ordered wasn't going too but you know how it is and such a good price. Now do I need the extra eyelets when I have loads with my CD??

[Bluebell]

Well I don't like pink, and I won't be ordering it!



At least that's what I said to DH until he walked in and saw me ordering it at 12.05. :o:o

Oh come on? I held out for a full FIVE minutes! LOL

You had me fooled there for a minute primrose, I actually thought you werent going to buy it :D


I find it rather odd that a TSV (of any kind, not just craft) has its first daytime showing at 2pm. Normally you'd have a morning showing at 10 or 11am with a second showing at 1 or 2pm.

It is really odd isnt it, I was looking forward to a crafting show this morning but none, just the usual 2 hours on a Tuesday afternoon, nothing special about being a TSV day :(

[Bluebell]

The BB is going to stay out on my craft table. I know if I put it in a box I wont use it have as much. The designer eyelets look FAB though but I must keep telling myself No No No!!!

I am not fussed about the box because I am going to keep mine out on the table as well

[Pam]

I thought that was strange too. I don't watch many craft programmes now but did want another look at the TSV and hoped it would be on this morning.

[Bluebell]

Was the TSV demonstrated at 2pm?
as I missed the first 15 minutes and would have liked to see if shown again too

[SUPERCOOLWILLOW]

1: they show the TSV in the morning show during the weekdays during the 9AM hour
2: nope its not been shown yet BB i think it might be at the end of the 2nd hour

[gill71]

Think it will be shown in the second hour, Bluebell.

[Bluebell]

Thanks, it was on about 1.40 so I saw it, liked how he used it to make little books, although didnt think the gromlet would be big enough to go through all that pages

[clevercat]

I am trying to stay strong as I already have the first Cropodile and I don't use that a lot but it has been very useful for lots of other things than craft. It is amazing how you start to feel that you need the TSV and then I keep thinking it'll cost more in the future. But I haven't got any work or pay for 2 months now so I cannot indulge myself and I want to treat the kids when we go on holiday to Cornwall.

[3BC]

Ha ha Bluebell, I really thought that I wouldn't get it either! That's the trouble with watching when one is tired! I have decided that I can live with pink because it is such good value with the extras.
I definitely WILL NOT be getting the case though!

[SUPERCOOLWILLOW]

ok i`l confess as well lol i`ve put it on payment hold which is like cheque hold while i work out my money to see if i can afford this

[Choppysocks]

ok i`l confess as well lol i`ve put it on payment hold which is like cheque hold while i work out my money to see if i can afford this

Never heard of payment hold? How does that work? Will they hold something for you for long?

I've ordered mine, good sving, and my cropodile needs a big brother.

[SUPERCOOLWILLOW]

its pretty much like cheque hold but its for postal order payments

[Choppysocks]

its pretty much like cheque hold but its for postal order payments

Thanks SCW

[SUPERCOOLWILLOW]

Thanks SCW

your welcome Choppysocks

[Marzipan]

i only want the desginer eyelet thingys that go with it so im not getting it!

[Winspiration]

I treated myself to the big eyelets this morning, but I've managed to resist the big bite :)

[nicecupoftea]

I managed to sneak the 8pm show on while hubby was playing trains in the garage. He came in, saw it was on and rolled his eyes. Amazingly he realized what they were selling and said, 'It's only £23 quid - that's good'. I did mention about the P&P as well. Then they started going on about it being pink. I said if they had made it blue they would have sold more coz the female crafters would have bought it anyway but the blokes wouldn't feel embarrassed about using it. He replied that the only use he could think for it would be to punch holes in a belt and he could do that with a screwdriver. Nearly thought for a moment before that he was going to buy it for me! Oh well - maybe I should have said yes when he mentioned about buying some new train tracks this month.

Oh poor you ncot, so near yet so far! I agree about the colour as well- I don't see why they had to change it to pink.
I get the feeling that they didn't sell as well as they were expecting, by the evening they were begining to sound a bit desperate.

[LorraineJ]

For what it was I though it good value for money. The killer was the P&P.

[SUPERCOOLWILLOW]

the old crop o dile postage was £4.45 so £4.95 for the slighty better version is not all that bad

[Wellington]

Coo - did it not sell out??!! :eek: I went to bed at 9pm cos I'm so shattered ATM so I saw nothing yesterday - not that I was particularly interested...spent up last week TBH LOL

[Wellington]

Ignore this .... wierd things happening when I posts

[sheilaj]

mine has arrived and I am very pleased with it. even with the p and p its under the price that most places have it for AND you get the huge bundle of gromlets with it. I didn'y think that the presentation of the BB or the case was that good...maybe that's why it didn't sell

[Pam]

That was quick Sheila.

[sheilaj]

That was quick Sheila.

some people actually got theirs yesterday and I think Catherine knew cos she said "phone in if you've got yours" then went err err and changed the subject quick!

[Dips]

My Big Boy :D arrived this afternoon at work! Probably won't get to play until the weekend, but it's looking good!

[SUPERCOOLWILLOW]

i got one on payment hold so i can work out my money to see if i can afford to have it

[Bloomin' Myrtle]

Mine arrive today too, so far it has been adored and stroked, oh and there's a bit of drool on the box LOL.

[Marzipan]

im soo glad i didnt buy one i wouldnt of used it it would of just sat their i can see it now lol

[nicecupoftea]

Hubby said last night he wanted to watch telly instead that, 'Croc-a-crop-a thing' I had on the previos night. The told me he still thought it was a good buy. Yeah, it was wasn't it and I didn't it. Had a brief moment where I thought he may have got it for me and was just confirming I hadn't bought it myself. Then I realised in over 10 years he never done anything like that and he mentioned about the train set shop...

[kate0673]

Can anyone tell me if it was delivered by RM or courier? I ordered mine in Friday and still no sign. If it's coming by RM then it won't now arrive today and I can go out and do all the things I need to. If it is one of the courier companies then I'm stuck here all day, living in hope.

Mine arrived this morning by courier.

[kate0673]

Thanks for that, oh well another day stuck in the house.Worth it though if it arrives. Fingers crossed.

[alison]

I feel like Prince, I'm the member formally known as sooner. I was tempted inot buying the TSV and the case to go with, I hope it comes tomorrow as I'm making a scrapbook page for my nephew's christening and this would come in handy for attaching my flowers

[jacobsmum]

I ordered the Big Bite on Tuesday and whey hay mine arrived TODAY. Beat that Create and Craft.

Also I bought the Silhouette from them and realised that it wasn't for me and QVC picked it the very next day and refunded my money within a week.

QVC look after their customers MUCH better than C & C in my eyes and thats where my money's gona go from now on

hey Sooner glad to see you back

[Pam]

Haven't got mine yet. Serves me right for going back on my word to not to buy anything more from QVC!

[Marzipan]

lol Pam

[Flowerpot]

mine also arrive today, was shocked didn't think it would be here this quick.

[jeanfan]

I ordered the BB on Monday and the case on Tuesday.When I looked the case had been shipped on the 1st,the BB on the 2nd.So that means I`ll get the case first I think.

[Pam]

Still haven't got mine. I ordered the case too they were both despatched on the 2nd.

[Wellington]

I always think QVC will deliver to me PDQ, what with my living in Knowsley & everything...but no...I've had one super speedy delivery from them...I've had a couple from C&C too, but ATM I'm not friends with them...

[SUPERCOOLWILLOW]

i`m sending payment tomorrow so should get mine next week

[Pam]

Just got the Big Bite but nothing else. Don't know if the case is coming by Royal Mail or the delivery lady.
It was delivered by the same lady who delivers IW stuff.

[purdycraft]

Mine was shipped on the 1st but hasn't arrived yet. Nowhere else takes so long to deliver things

[Jeanette]

Mine's not here either!!

[jeanfan]

My BB arrived today,before the case after all.Maybe get the case tomorrow.I`m still waiting for some bags from C & C,they were despatched on the 26th of June.

[blarf]

Mine came too, not sure if I'm keeping it yet, might stick it on eBay. Anyone want to buy just the gromlets?

[jacobsmum]

My case came today and that was delivered by the postman

[kate0673]

I might be interested, but as the Bl***y big bite hasn't arrived yet I'm not sure. Despite the fact I ordered it last Friday and it was despatched on 29th!!!
Seriously though if it does arrive in the next few days I'll let you know once I've had a play. Sorry rant over ,

[3BC]

Mine arrived today! Ordered and shipped on Tuesday, this is the fastest delivery that I have ever had from QVC.
I'm not sure if it's a different courier as I didn't see it arrive, but stuff from my normal one usually takes a good 2 weeks. Haven't had a play yet as was on way out when I saw it, and I'm too tired now. Can't wait to have a play tomorrow!

[Bloomin' Myrtle]

I'm hoping my case comes tomorrow, haven't checked the shipping date though.

It seems most BBs will be delivered by courier and have been very fast, so it makes me wonder if those that haven't been delivered yet if it's the couriers that are being slow rather than QVC?

[glittergirl]

got mine yesterday, going to play today

[LorraineJ]

Question is, how much for and obviously buyer (ie me) would pay the postage.:D

[Jan]

Mine came via courier bright and early this morning. No sign of the case though. Never mind cannot wait to have a play and love the gromlets - do I really,really need it-no but it's not stopped me so far!!

Hi Lorraine, I hadn't really thought about it to be honest :) I just know the gromlets aren't really my thing. I'll have to look into it.


Does anyone know of another way to punch through stampbord? I am sure the BB will do it but if I don't keep it will my screw punch work?

[Jeanette]

My BB is here. Glad someone has thought about the packaging this time. It was so easy to get into. The other good thing is the instruction sheet. Its so much easier to read than the one that came with its little brother.

Forgot to say, I LOOOOOOVVVVE it. The colour is perfect and those designer gromlets are to die for :D

[SUPERCOOLWILLOW]

lol sent payment for mine off

[Anne]

lol sent payment for mine off

You're actually going to get yourself a bit bite? :eek:

[purdycraft]

When I left home this morning (at 06.50) I discovered my big bite outside the front door. It wasn't there when I arrived home from the theatre at 22.45 last night, so it must have been delivered in the middle of the night. My husband was woken up by a noise at approx 1am so that may have been when it arrived! Not good!

:eek::eek::eek::eek: How odd! And I agree, definitely not good

[kate0673]

Big bite finally arrived today, well worth the wait:) However am I the only person disappointed with the gromlets? Would have much preferred a mixture of the large eyelets with some gromlets. Hey ho I suppose they can't please everyone. May put some up for sale and I can buy the large eyelet set if it's still in stock.

[icebubble]

Mine has just arrived too. :D Love the colour and very pleased with all the gromlets especially the designer gromlets. Not sure I would be able to put them on a card to give away though may just have to look at them ........... a lot! :p Will have a play later and make sure it all works. I know that some people have had problems with the hole punch parts not lining up but have checked that much and it seems fine. Hope everyone elses is ok.

[Pam]

Received the case today, very pleased with it and its contents. Also received some glimmer chalks from SCW's thread.

[Bloomin' Myrtle]

My case came today too. There are so many lovely eyelets and gromlets though, I need to find somewhere else to store them
(or use them quickly, which isn't an option because I want plenty of drooling time)

I think I will use the gromlets most on fabric, maybe to decorate bags.

Once I've got used to setting the gromlets (upside-down???) they'll be great for attaching flowers.

[sugarplum]

miy bb and the case have both arrived BB seems to work ok and I really love the designer gromlets and the designer eyelets withthe case

[jeanfan]

I want my case!!!

[Bluebell]

Mine eventualy arrived today,
the designer gromlets are bigger than I thought they would be :D

[Bluebell]

My BB is here. Glad someone has thought about the packaging this time. It was so easy to get into. The other good thing is the instruction sheet. Its so much easier to read than the one that came with its little brother.



I thought the packaging was a nightmare to get in to, why couldnt they have made it easy opening :mad:

I agree BM, I think it is the couriers who hold the stuff up sometimes, not QVC but obviously QVC always get blamed for slow delivery

[Jeanette]

There was a hole on the back of my pack and perforations. It ripped open quite easily

[blarf]

Mine too! There was still some risk of a nasty cut though I thought. I'll never know why companies heat seal packaging, there can't be THAT much stuff stolen out of packaging can there?

Still no sign of my case (grump!)

[purdycraft]

[QUOTE=Bluebell;2857]I thought the packaging was a nightmare to get in to, why couldnt they have made it easy opening :mad:



So did I. I cut it at the bottom to start with not realising that wouldn't work.

My packaging had the perforations to make it easier but the plastic is hard and jagged as you rip it downwards and I agree could give a nasty cut.

Still waiting for the case too grrrrr.... I think QVC have their own postal service called third class pity we pay for first.

[jeanfan]

I rang yesterday to ask how my case was being shipped - good old Royal Mail!seven days are up tomorrow and I`m getting rather fed up now!

[SUPERCOOLWILLOW]

i just checked mine after paying by transcash last sat and its just said it has been shipped today yipppe!!!!

[Winspiration]

I rang yesterday to ask how my case was being shipped - good old Royal Mail!seven days are up tomorrow and I`m getting rather fed up now!

I ordered three items last Tuesday (including the large eyelets) which only turned up today :rolleyes:

I've also had a QVC item go AWOL for the first time ever :( - the Brenda Pinnick scrapbook paper pad which was recommended on here, I've sent in a declaration form, so fingers crossed the replacement won't take long. Normally the post here is very reliable, but my June card swap is also AWOL atm, so that's all a bit worrying.

Hope you will enjoy your big bite, SCW :)

[SUPERCOOLWILLOW]

lol when it gets here

[Bloomin' Myrtle]

There was a hole on the back of my pack and perforations. It ripped open quite easily


I didn't look for an easier opening :o

[Jeanette]

I didn't look for an easier opening :o

I don't usually, but someone somewhere mentioned it so I remembered to look when my BB arrived:D

[purdycraft]

I've checked my pack and can't see any hole!

[SUPERCOOLWILLOW]

well mines is here now will have a look and a play later
