Carley,
Have you any idea where I get can a new handle for my Joy trouvaille
machine as mine has all denatured where it attaches to the spindle, as it is so flimsy. The machine is no good without it.
I am totally disappointed as I love this machine which has really had very little use. It's just over a year old.
Thank you.
Gwennybee.

To whom it may concern,

Recently I bought a joy trouvaille cutting/embossing machine. Just one question when would I use the black stretch soft mat E.

carley duff creations said...

to use m-bossibilties use 2 blue plates
Soft mat is used for embossing under black top plate

Hi Carley,

I love your demo's on C&C you are so talented. Could you please give me a bit of advise. I was looking at all of the reviews on the Joy but when I went to your site to find out about using it with spellbinders I am confused would I need to get extra plates to use my spellbinders as these are my only dies I also have the Couture Creations embossing folders, The Embossalicious folders, Creative Expressions folders, Spellbinders Embossabilities Folders and Other Spellbinders M-Bossabilities Folders,Spellbinders Impressabilities and the newSpellbinders 3D M-Bossabilities Rustic Wreath Carley before I buy the Joy I would really value you advise and help would I need to get a lot of other plates to use it with spellbinders die and the list of embossing folders I am telling you about also I saw on your blog about the handle being flimsy can you tell me if it is as a lady was looking to you to tell her where she could a replacement. I know I have a lot of questions but before i spend so much money as I live in Ireland I want to get the best advise and if I needed more plates where would I get them as Create and Craft does not stock the plates on their own. you can contact me at ambretteir@eircom.net thanks Carly

Hi Carly

I'm eagerly awaiting delivery of my Joy!!!! I have a set of Spellbinders Grand Labels 1 so think I need an extra blue plate? I'm confused as there are 2 on the Creata website - one is £4.38 and the other is £7.30.... which is the right one please?

Kind regards Gill x

Ann said...

Is there any place that you can send your machine to for an overhaul or if theres slight damage to in order that it can be fixed?

Regards Ann Robinson

Hello Carley I have had my Joy for a couple of years now, and still love it. I recently bought a couple of the large size A4 embossing folders, I find I cannot get the right sandwich for these Even 2 blue plates proves to be a bit too thick. Can you tell me if there is a thinner plate available or what else I could use. So far this has been my only failure with my lovely joy Thanks for your time Lois
