so i decided to make my own holiday cards this year, and set out to buy all the supplies. i had a great idea for a card, and was very excited because i was going to purchase and use an eyelet setter and eyelets!






tonight i sat down to start in on my cards and i cannot get the thing to work! the hole punch doesnt actually punch through the paper so much as it just dents and crinkles it, and no matter how many times i "set" the eyelet, it wont actually set! salkfdsldfj. i tried for over an hour to get it to work before i finally broke down and started crying. thats when i knew i needed a break.

has anyone used this tool before? have you had the same problems? im using the right size eyelets and the right size setters and i know im using the tool itself right. what am i doing wrong?!
