ribbon punch

I have been looking for a ribbon punch. The ones i have seen don't seem to punch the way i want. I am looking for one that has a long arm so it can be placed anywhere on the card and not just on the edge. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated, thank you

I'll keep an eye out for you Dee but I can't think of anyone that makes one off the top of my head.

I have a long arm ribbon punch, will have a look to see who it is made by. I know it is orange in colour. The other option is a Paddle Punch where you hit a punch with a special hammer and can punch anywhere though it is a bit noisy!

I was wrong, it is red and it is McGill long reach ribbon punch. I found a similar one, the slots are quite small just like my one. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Long-Reach-punch-Slits-Slots-Ribbon-Lace-NEW-Single_W0QQitemZ330358878239QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Crafts_Cardmaking_Scrapbooking_DieCutting_Punches_EH?hash=item4ceaec701f&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

umm dont know about anyone else but those links dont work! takes you to html on the forum! or is it just me

Nope, it's happening to me too. Copy the url and paste it into a new address bar. That takes you to the site Deanne.
Cazzy, See the ribbon thats the way i want to cut it. All the punches I have seen punch the other way.I cut these out with a craft knife but they're not too good. It would take me forever to make 100 of them too.

I may be better off with the one that needs a good hammering (get rid of some pent up stress with the kids being on holiday lol)

oooh they are lovely invites Dee, I'll keep an eye open for what your looking for

Ooh yes the inves are gorgeous Dee.

Just go to Ebay and search for long reach ribbon punch

Try these two sites:

www.art-of-craft.co.uk
I got the links to work this time, just look for the punches, both have the long reach ones though Monoco seems very expensive I think it is an extra long reach one!

Thank you... i have quite a few different designs but these are the ones that my son and his fiancé want.

I will take a look at the sites Cazzy, cheers.

Thanks for the links Cazzy...this may have to go on my Christmas wish list!

what do you do with a ribbon punch? Does it kind of punch holes that you thread or weave ribbons in and out of
