Issue 5 of Creative Cardmaking is now in stock.

This month’s issue is packed full of bright and cheery summery coloured projects and I think this is probably the most diverse issue that they’ve published so far. Projects include a quick ‘n’ easy Strawberry Cross Stitch card by Jane Alford, ice lolly, lollipop trees and flip flops Felt Work card and toppers by Rachel Burgess and fun ‘n’ funky Collage cards by Dyan Reaveley as well as cards made using rubber stamps, punches and metals … and lots more including the free pull out printed papers.

Well done to the editor Louisa for spotlighting so many different and inspiring techniques in the one issue.

Hi There!

Just a quickie to let you know that we’ve added 17 more designs of Martha Stewart Border Punches to the shop.

Hugs n Smiles,

Meet the newest four little fairies to fly off Kim Sponaugle’s drawing board and into the wonderful realm of all things crafty! The ice skating Winter Fairy, delicate Spring Fairy amongst the Lily of the Valley, sweet little Summer Fairy whispering to a birdie and the mischievious Autumn Fairy riding a sycamore leaf will help you to keep creating all through the year and are ideal for card making, calendar and altered art projects. All four seasonal fairies are available as unmounted rubber stamps and 3D Decoupage greeting card downloads. Keep an eye out for Sonia’s beautiful handcrafted cards using these fairy stamps when browsing through the stamps in the shop or Gallery 1.

Also new in the shop this week are four more adorable Erica Pels acrylic stamp sets - Autumn 1 & 2, Winter Skates and Near the Christmas Tree. This brings the total of Erica Pels stamp sets to twelve now and offers us a wonderful collection of stamps for year round projects.

Other new arrivals this week are new colours in Tim Holtz Alcohol Inks and Adirondack Pigment Inkpads. New Martha Stewart Border punches - just two designs have arrived at the moment but lots more are on the way and expected to be with us real soon. We’ve also added more Peel Offs in various texts and borders and three packs of little tassels in assorted colours.

And finally for now … and, as ever, certainly not least … we’ve added some new cards to Gallery 1 by the wonderfully talented Alison. Just look at the clever application of Perfect Pearls on the Book Fairy card below - skoosh and drag!

Keep Creating!
Hugs n Smiles,

Hi Everyone,

I received previews this week of the new 2009 Cuttlebug Embossing Folders and Punch & Emboss sets and thought maybe you’d like to see them too. We’re expecting to have them ready to ship out to you from Mid-August onwards.

Hugs n Smiles,

Kim

Hi Everyone,

Oh Wow, seems there’s been a touch of magic at work around here lately! I’ve teamed up with the amazingly talented children’s book illustrator Kim Sponaugle (yes, that’s two Kims now) and we’re delighted that the first members of our cuter than cute Fairy Fun Family are now ready to say ‘hello’ to you. We’ve got … Baby Fairy, Book and Cake Fairy, Grandma Fairy, Shoe Fairy and the sporty Tennis Fairy. Each fairy is available as a rubber stamp, a 3D Decoupage Card download and we’ve added eight sets of downloadable papers too. But this is just the start! More Fairy Fun Family members and other charming characters are managing to escape from Kim’s sketchbooks so keep an eye out for them too over the coming weeks and months!

Following the huge popularity of Susi’s super easy Alphabooks and Numbercards Printables and Cuttables, the printables range has been extended and a new rich ’Berries’ colour has been added. These sets are ideal for masculine cards toning in beautifully with the Country Gents and Local Lads downloads and are equally suitable for ladies cards too.

New in the shop are this month’s Creative Cardmaking and Making Cards magazines. These monthly magazines are each packed with ideas and inspiration for your cardmaking … and there’s some nifty free papers included too!

New too are the Mulberry Paper flowers by Petaloo - we’ve got lots of packs in a rainbow of tempting colours and styles that we think you might quite like too!

Also new in are the new Tim Holtz metal adornments - book corners, leaves, tiny attacher (a poshe name for a mini, mini, stapler), safety pins, etc.

All in all, lots of new goodies and lots more to watch out for. Have a great day, keep well, and …

Keep Creating!

Sixteen new ‘Santa’s Workshop’ rubber stamps have been added. The stamps work well on their own or can be used together to create fun little scenes for your greetings cards and scrapbooking pages … for example, Robbie and Emmy Elves pushing can be used with the Toy Train and Dolly’s Pram stamps … while the Toy Train and Dolly’s Pram stamps could also be coloured in pastel shades and work independently on New Baby projects. Little Santa looks quite comfortable stood in front of the Fireplace or Christmas Tree and Mrs Santa could dress in her everyday colours and bring out the tea tray throughout the year!

We’ve also added a few new bits to the shop … Adirondack Pigment Ink Pads, Ranger Ultra Thick Embossing Powders, Sakura Ultra Fine metallic pens, the new Bind-It-All Covers, Closures and Owires and a few more of the pretty Starform Transparent Glitter Peel Offs.
