Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!

Thursday, September 17th, 2009

I am absolutely delighted that I have been able to so quickly find six new Fabulously Crafty Friends and would like to say the biggest Thank You to everyone who has contacted me since Saturday so very kindly offering their time and experience to help me out. I was truly humbled by the response I received and it’s such a shame that I couldn’t find a way to say yes to everyone. I thank you all again, from the bottom of my heart for your willingness to come forward and help. 

I’ve very nearly emailed everyone who contacted me but unfortunately one of my emails to a yahoo.co.uk address keeps getting bounced back. If you’ve written to me a couple of times and haven’t heard back – I’m so sorry, I tried twice to get in touch but the gremlins keep jumping in on the action.

Thank You again.

Would You like to be one of my Fabulously Crafty Friends?

Edited Fri 18th Sept. - I am absolutely delighted that I have been able to so quickly find six new Fabulously Crafty Friends and would like to say the biggest Thank You to everyone who has contacted me since Saturday so very kindly offering their time and experience to help me out. I was truly humbled by the response I received and it’s such a shame that I couldn’t find a way to say yes to everyone. I thank you all again, from the bottom of my heart for your willingness to come forward and help. 

I’ve very nearly emailed everyone who contacted me but unfortunately one of my emails to a yahoo.co.uk address keeps getting bounced back. If you’ve written to me a couple of times and haven’t heard back – I’m so sorry, I tried twice to get in touch but the gremlins keep jumping in on the action.

Help!!! I’m in dreadful danger of overloading my Fabulously Crafty Friends with so many Cuddly Buddly Rubber Stamps that the poor ladies don’t have time to play with their other crafty bits! So, in order to try and restore a healthy balance to the situation I’m looking for some new friends to help us all out with making up inspirational new papercraft or altered art samples using our new rubber stamp designs.

How it works – From time to time we’ll send you new stamps, downloadable papers plus some bits n bobs (ribbons, card, etc.) for you to create a stunning papercraft or altered art piece to showcase the new stamp. If the extras we send don’t suit the idea you have in mind when you see the stamps then just keep them in your Cuddly Buddly stash box for another day. You then send us a good digi pix of your finished card or item along with a ’materials used’ list which we add to the product web page and to our Galleries to help demonstrate the product better to our much appreciated customers.

We never ask or expect our Fabulously Crafty Friends to do any marketing for us so if you create beautiful works but don’t have a blog, or don’t participate on forums we’d still like very much to hear from you. However, if you enjoy blogging and want to share with your online friends what you’re doing with us, that’s fine and I’m happy to make up a special little button for your blog, if you’d like one.

If you’re interested in being one of my Fabulously Crafty Friends then please email me (look for Fabulously Crafty Friends on the drop down menu on the contact page) and let me know;

  • who you are,
  • a little bit about yourself,
  • how long you’ve been crafting,
  • your favourite crafting techniques,
  • how many projects you think you could comfortably take on per month and …
  • include a link to your blog or online photo album where I can see examples of your gorgeous creations.

Printables Update – After chatting with Susi, our Printables and Cuttables Designer, it appears that Susi would also very much appreciate a Fabulously Crafty Friend to work with her and help make up her Printables Projects too. If you enjoy making up Susi’s versatile and really useful Printable projects and taking them to the next level with the addition of embellishments and graphics then we’d love to hear from you too.  

Keep Creating!

Hi There! We’ve just added some new stamps – Three romantic teddy stamps, a set of scalloped greetings, a set of signature seals and a heart flourishes collection of rubber stamps are now available. These stamps are especially handy for Valentine and Mother’s Day but are equally useful all year round for Birthdays.

Keep Creating!

New Cute Metal Dies, Crafty Supplies & some Massive Savings!

Monday, October 27th, 2008

Hi Ho Everyone!

We’ve added a few new bits to the shop so I thought it would be good to let you have a summary of ‘What’s New’.

First up is our brand new Cuddly Buddly Seriously Fun Metal Dies range. We’ve started with six dies – a teddy, a boy and a girl main characters and a cat, dog, bunny, hats and party pieces add-on type dies. Our thin metal dies have been designed to offer you a wide range of paper piecing options from a single die. Use the dies to cut the cute characters, their clothing and accessories and then decide on the pose that’s right for you and piece them together with the help of a glue pen. All of our dies are drawn in proportion to each other and can be mixed and matched to create endless poses for your card making and scrapbooking projects. The dies are compatible with most die cutting machines and further details are available in the product descriptions on site. I’ve also popped four free fleshtones papers in the Freebies Papers section on the site in case you need something printable to get you started.

Next up … New in the Shop … New Prima Flowers, New Colours of Stickles, Ranger UTEE and Dye Ink Re-Inkers. To yet be added are some fabulous Tim Holtz tools.

Also in the shop we’ve added a whole new aisle for you to explore ‘When It’s Gone It’s Gone!’ Towards the end of our recent 20% Off Sale we received notification that Dovecraft were discontinuing some of their products so we decided to follow suit and offer you some massive savings on many Dovecraft products and for good measure we’ve thrown in a few DoCraft products too that we personally won’t be re-stocking.

The Bind-It-All machine, tote bag and tool kit also have a new lower price of £39.99 and £19.99 respectively.

Finally … New projects by our Fabulosly Crafty Friends, Edna, Gail and Sonia have been added to Gallery 1.

I think that’s the lot for now. I’m about to immerse myself in new design work for the next season’s stamps, dies and digital products so if you have a special request for anything in particular that you’d like to see please drop me a quick note through the ‘Sig Tags’ option on our Contact page and I’ll try and grant your wish!

Keep Creating!

Hugs n Smiles,

Kim
