CM question?

[bananiem]

Do any of you have the new product that is a set of two square punches from CM? I think I'd like to have it but I haven't seen one or worked with one yet. If you've tried it, could you give me your opinions please? Thanks!

I have it and love it. The quality is alot better than some other punches I have bought in the past. The sizes makes it great for titles and borders. It was well worth the $20!!!!

I have the large one that I purchased and the smaller one that I "earned" through my CMC's freq. buyer program. I love them both, and ffindis is right, the quality is wonderful! Plus you get nifty little boxes with each one to hold your punchies.

Absolutely love it! I can't make a straight line to save my life so cutting little squares by hand wasn't fun!
It is easy to use and you can store cut sqaures. I have both sizes. I mainly use the larger one.
Plus I also take the scraps or pictures I don't care for and cut small squares for use later...makes me feel like I am not wasting a picture!

I love mine simply because you don't have to stand up and bang on it to make it punch like lots of other big punches! lol! This one is very smooth and easy! Great for title blocks and borders!

Thanks everybody. Guess I'll be giving my CMC a call!

ARGH!!! It seems I can't get both sizes since I won't be spending $250 on CM products this year. I can only get one size, I believe it is the larger one. But having just one isn't going to do what I had envisioned.

Am I the only one who gets frustrated by this? I mean, I buy idea books from them. It shows the titles and borders using TWO sizes of square punches, but then I'm told I can only do a page like that if I BUY MORE STUFF!!!
Sorry, I just needed to vent. Sometimes I get so frustrated at the lack of supplies where I live...

Bananiem, the CM Square Maker that I've seen has 2 different size punches. It makes a 1 1/2" and 1 1/4" punch. I'm looking at my catalog now and it's a two-in-one design. This one sells for $20 for 2 different size punches. Is that what you're looking for? Double check with your CMC. You should be able to purchase this. It's in the most recent catalog.

That's exactly what I want!!! Thanks, Wendy. I'll have to talk to her again.

I am going to a "Hip to B Square" class at my CM's home on Friday night. I am very excited to learn techniques for this new punch. I'll let you all know how it goes.
