The only problem is getting the holes far enough down that the box will close over the tops of your ribbon rolls. Finally, Etsy members should be aware that third-party payment processors, such as PayPal, may independently monitor transactions for sanctions compliance and may block transactions as part of their own compliance programmes.

That being said, I have to really contort to see where the hole is going as it sits on the desk and one cannot see from the top where the hole should be placed. Just like its younger brother, the cropadile, the Big Bite is a powerful crafting tool that can punch through paper, leather, fabric, plastic, thin tin, chipboard and much more! For punching through thicker layers, though, I think I probably do hold it properly for extra leverage. I realised yesterday when using my CAD through one layer of regular card that I was actually squeezing t from quite near the mechanism end of it, rather than holding it at the end of the handles (sorry, hard to describe in words!Plus you push down rather than squeezing like the regular Crop-a-dile; I have big hands, but don't like the wide reach required to use it.

Because the Big Bite is strong, I realized I can use it to make the little Japanese Stab books I wrote a tutorial about awhile ago. This tool features a 6" punching reach that allows you to punch and set the accents at the centre of your 12" x 12" pages. In the video you can see the difference in the reach between the regular Crop A Dile and the Big Bite. I have so many favorite tools – this is another, the Crop-A-Dile Big Bite II by We R Memory Keepers.You can use the Big Bite to punch through paper, of course, but also leather, fabric, plastic, thin tin, chipboard and lots more. Rotating setting blocks and action Setter help you do what you want to do without fumbling around for loose pieces. I personally try to keep the inside of my card from clean or relatively so, so I don't put eyelets all the way through the the embellie and the card front. At the end of the day I imagine a scrapper or someone into altered / 3d projects is likely to use one more than most card-makers. The depth gauge demarcates the distances from the edge of the paper to which we’re going to drill up to 15,25 cm.

If you purchase this product, I'd suggest practicing on scrap paper first until you get the hang of it. I discovered that you do need to use more pressure than the original Crop-a-dile to set your eyelets and brads. It was due to the extended flaps for the backpack bottom (for closing) that I could have used the Big Bite to make it easier (due to the longer reach).To place an eyelet or a fastener, it must be placed under pressure using the central part of the tool.

New products are launched in the USA before they come to the UK so perhaps they have another tool that will work for you. I didn't realise there was a new one with a smaller grip; I know when the first one came out some people had trouble holding it, so if you have small hands it could be worth considering. Features a 6" punching reach that allows you to punch and set the accents at the center of your 12" x 12" pages.Easily punch through almost any material, even thick bookboard, then set eyelets, snaps or any embellishment in your project. On another thread we were discussing brads and eyelets, and I happened to be setting some eyelets that weekend. there's a new template by my time made easy for a running shoe and I'd use eyelets for the holes for the laces. I would think -for -me the smaller grip one would be better but my question would be how strong a grip do you need to squeeze it? The wild success of the Crop-a-dile from We R Memory Keepers has prompted a new release from this company, the Crop-a-dile 2 Big Bite.
