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

Hi Everyone,
Susi’s been busy lately and we’ve just added three of her new downloadable printables for you.

The first of these is the cheery Ellie Fant ‘Thank You’ Printable which contains a set of Thank You cards, an envelope and a super box to keep them in. It makes an ideal wee giftie to tuck into a Christmas stocking or wrap up for a friend.

The second printable is the Beary Christmas Twist n Stack which is a cute collection of quick n easy A6 sized 3D Stacker Decoupage cards and inserts with a twist! Background papers, a tag and an envie closure are also included.

The third downloadable printable is Flowers, Snails & Fairy Tales Calendar, a delightful and highly practical year round calendar for gardeners featuring our hardy and fun loving little Garden Fairies.
A selection of wooden boxes, babushka dolls and other fun bits for tole painting plus more polymer clay moulds and tools will be added to the shop over the next few days … and if you’re needing any All Bind-It-All products, Stickers or Peel Offs remember these still have 20% Off in our October Special.
And finally, while you’re visiting please do check out our Gallery 1 as we’ve added some new cards by our Fabulously Crafty Friends, Edna, Gail & Sonia and it would be a shame if you missed them as they’re simply gorgeous and packed with lovely little designer details to inspire you in your card making.
Keep Creating!
Hugs n Smiles,
Kim

Wowee - what truly Fabulously Crafty Friends we are blessed to have here at Cuddly Buddly Crafts. I received piccies of this charming concertina tag card that Edna has made and loved her project immediately … what a delightful way to pass on the main events of the true Christmas story from one generation to another.

Edna has used a variety of our stamps, coloured the images and attached them to her base card. She’s created the scripture tags on her computer and then printed them out and hand finished them with coloured card, eyelets and narrow ribbons and tucked them neatly into their little pockets. If you would like to know more about how Edna has created her card please join us on our friendly forum where I’m sure she’ll be only too happy to share with you the ‘how to’s’ of how it was done!
More projects by Edna and our other Fabulously Crafty Friends Gail and Sonia can be seen in our Gallery.

We are blessed here at Cuddly Buddly Crafts to have the most Fabulously Crafty Friends and this morning as I opened my email I was in for such a visual treat that I felt we should shine the Spotlight On Gail and share with you all the exquisite concertina Christmas Card that she created for her Grandson. Gail has used a selection of our rubber stamps and a paper from our ‘Let it Snow Papers’ downloads to produce this frosty winter scene.
