Fancy Bagging Yourself £250 To spend on Craft Goodies - Lots of Excitement.

Morning Everyone, I hope you all enjoyed the shows with Lou last weekend, I have already seen that some of you have been inspired by the demos she shared. As you know I normally have a giveaway on the Hochanda Facebook Page, sadly I was too late this time but I thought I would have a giveaway for my Etsy Customers. So how do you Fancy Bagging Yourself £250 to spend as you like at the Craftascope Etsy Store?


It's very simple, all you have to do is: 
Leave an Honest review for any purchase you make on the Craftascope Etsy Store upto Midnight on 5th November 2020. Reviews Left in September will also be included. The lucky person will be drawn on November 6th. The more reviews you leave, the more chances you will have. 

There are some back in stock items, I have tried my hardest to get more Chrysanthemum Dies and I'm pleased to say there is a little more stock available. I've added some new offers to the store, saving up to 30% on some very popular items. Some of the items can't be replaced, so please don't miss out. The Lady Marjorie Swag Die, Retro Leaves & Trees & the build a Man have all been very popular, and now have a discount. Most items include free postage.







Here are some of the wonderful samples made by the Design Team. They work so hard and really help to bring the designs to life. They share such a lot of Inspiration as I am sure you saw on the recent shows. If you missed them, I will be sharing them on the Youtube channel either today or Tomorrow.




The Floral Companions Stamp and Die set is such a versatile set. Great for making cards for all occasions and seasons birthdays, Christmas etc, they look amazing in Autumn colours too. Here are some samples made using the set.







Do take a look through the store at what's on offer, I have tried to include something for everyone. All of the items are popular and not just selected to get rid of. If you have a voucher or discount code, this can still be used. Items are all sent within 2 days. Due to Covid19 there are still delays in delivery.



I did have some damage to a few of the 'Slice of Heaven' products. If you are not concerned about buying without packaging then I have listed them with a substantial saving. The product is not damaged in any way and is of the same high standard, they're just sold without the packaging.




It's been an incredibly difficult year for everyone and hearing about more restrictions is a worry. I hope that 2021 will be a much better year for every one. Take care and Stay Safe. xxx

A Slice of Heaven - Launch of the New Craftascope Collection

 Morning Friends and Crafters. This is a really exciting and very special day for me. After such a long wait,my New 'Slice of Heaven' Collection from Craftascope is being launched today by the wonderful Lou Withers. It would have been amazing if I could have been there myself, but I am so very lucky to have such a marvelous Crafter launching it on Hochanda today. I'm sharing one of the cards I've made using a selection of Stamps and Dies, along with a beautiful stamp from Clarity Stamp.



I believe that the 'Slice of Heaven' Collection is one of the most versatile ones I have brought to you so far. As always they are perfect for all of your Paper & Cardcraft projects, however they are designed be used perfectly with Fabric as well. You can easily create your own bespoke fabrics. With many of the stamps, there's also the option to use them for Quilting.With a little patience you could even try micro-quilting.

I am decorating at the moment, the stamp I have used in the card comes in 3 sizes across the collection.I am using the largest of these to create a feature wall and I will share the photos as soon as it's finished. To give you an idea, I have stamped a sheet of A3 paper, obviously for the wall I will be spacing the stamps further apart. 



The same stamps can also be used to make the most gorgeous flowers,either using one size stamp or a mix of the sizes together. If you have the thicker type Chinese rice paper they make stunning poppies. If you would to use them with foamiran, be careful to choose the correct ink and a light colour to stamp with.

Having the versatility in a collection is the key and having so many other options is always a good thing. The stamps are sized perfectly to work across any project from ATC's to Scrapbook pages as well as larger Home Decor projects. They work wonderfully with the Craftascope Heat Transfer Paints,also available on the website.

I had quite a few requests for Spanish Phrases, so in this collection I have included a couple which are great to use in greeting cards and scrapbook pages. There are so many options with the whole collection and I really hope to see some of your creations.

There's far too much to share in a blog post, so I will be sharing other ideas over time as well as youtube videos. For now I do hope you will tune into the shows with Lou tonight and Saturday Morning.It's really good to be back with you.If you have shopped on my Etsy, you should have received a thank you voucher, if you didn't and would like to shop the code is FEEDBACK15 and will give you 15%off anything in store. Take care and Happy Crafting.xx
