Morning my Wonderful Friends and Crafters

Morning to all of my Wonderful Friends and Crafters. I have a full day of rest ahead of me at last today. Not that I haven't totally enjoyed every minute of it, all of the orders are checked, packed and either already received or in the hands of the Post office, winging their way to you. I really cant wait to see what you all make with them, I really want you all to have fun. Here is the first Hochanda Show with Charlie, I wanted to add it for you, so it is still available after rewind has gone.

I really want to say a massive thank you to each and every one of you for the support, trust and faith you have put in me. Without you buying the collections and giving me your support, I wouldn't be able to invest in bringing more Different and Unique products to you. You all know by now, the time and effort I put into my range and the quality I supply. If you do have the time I would really appreciate some feedback once the Feefo mails come your way for the products you have bought.

As I said on the show, every range I bring out will form a wonderful Library of amazing tools to create a range of projects to suit any person or occasion, everything from ATC's, Card Making, Journalling and Scrapbooking. Absolutely anything you would like to create. My Design team and I will be sharing inspiration over time, so please keep checking back for ideas.


I do have some of the items available on my Etsy Shop, for those of you who would like them, There is a link at the top of my Blog Page.

My next 2 collections will be arriving next week, so we will all have plenty of time to create for the next shows on Hochanda. These will be very special and so I hope you will be looking forward to adding to your collections as well. For now Take care and Happy Crafting.xx

Hochanda Show Tuesday 26th March

Morning Friends and Crafters. Well here we are again on the eve of my new launch on Hochanda Tomorrow at 11am and 3pm. I really cant tell you how exciting this has all been for me, I really have pulled out all the stops and put everything into the 2 collections I have brought with me this time. I put my heart and soul into everything I bring, so to have had such a demand for the first launch has been heartwarming to say the very least. I know I said it on my show, but without the support from Hochanda and all of you, there really wouldn't be any collections to bring to you, so Thank you.

Tomorrows launch is a smaller but just as important set and an must have to add to your Craftascope Library of tools. There are some super useful stamps and sentiments. It also has the addition of my very first 'Leaded Lights' Die Set, with my Dolphins. I have some more beauties to add to this over time, including a beautiful Dolphin Striplet Die.


Another great little dies set, which so many have asked for is my Rose petal dies set. It's a collection of 10 hand drawn dies in various sizes, giving the perfect petals for my Foamiran roses. There is every size combination you need to make some stunning blooms along with complimentary accent flowers too. They work perfectly with other mediums such as card and paper and all of my dies will cut fabric, leather etc. I do hope I have time on the shows to demonstrate a little, these are invaluable.

I do hope you will join me tomorrow (Tuesday 26th March) for my new launch with the wonderful Dave Bradford at 11am and 3pm. For now take care and Happy Crafting.xxx

ATC Antics

Morning my lovely friends and crafters, What an amazing few days I have had, A really enjoyable visit to Hochanda and a catch up with friends, meeting all of the lovely people that bring us such great shows and then the launch of  the next installment of my Craftascope Library. Today, I wanted to spend some time showing you the stamp sheets in detail. There really isn't the time on the show to do that as well as present the demo's that we all love to see. I want to show just how versatile these stamps are and show the smaller stamps that are so valuable to us crafters, whatever our style or crafting experience.

ATC Antics:
This was specially designed to coordinate with the ATC die set which sold out, I have managed to squeeze some additional stock but there wont be anymore available after that. It's a real go to collection, enabling you to make a complete card or add detail, texture and dimension to any project. I have included some feel good sentiments along with words that can be mixed with others in any of the Craftascope collection to form new sentiments or phrases. Two of the boys appear in a smaller and more natural look, giving you even more scope to coordinate a tag, gift and matching card. I have included a positive and negative bubble wrap, that gives the most amazing texture, it's a huge improvement on the real thing allowing you to do so much more, with texture, dimension as well as opening up a whole new way of crafting.

Such A Card:
I have designed some of these to layer and they look amazing in any colour combination to give a wide range of looks and feels. They work perfectly well as single stamps and dont have to be layered to give a wonderful look. Again they are great to add to any project to add texture and dimension, but as I demonstrated in my shows on Hochanda, they can be used to make a super but simple fast card and we all need one of those from Time to time. These are really different to anything else that is out there and give a unique feel to you crafting.

Textures 1:
This is the beginning of a small collection of wonderful texture stamps, sized to make it simple to extend them to suit your project. Being Thermo Plastic Rubber, they allow you to use all of your techniques, extending the use but remaining clear for positioning. There are some really interesting and unique textures here in this collection of 4, a really cost effective way of adding interest to anything.

Handy Helpers:
Oh my goodness, this was another early sell out, but I did manage to get a little ore stock on extended delivery, so I do hope you wont miss out. This is an amazing set of unique stamps and where this whole collection started. The 3 hands give you the opportunity to use on any project, I have used feel good phrases on one, Crafty words on another and included a plain to cover all bases. There are also some super and different sentiments in this set which will match all projects and occasions.

As I have said before all of the words in every launch of the Craftascope Library collection will mix and match to give 1000's of sentiments that you can create, rather than tie to you specifics, we all want to get as much value as we can from our supplies and this is an excellent way of covering every possible scenario.

I do thank you for all of your support, without it I wouldn't be able to bring you the collections that I share with you. I want to be able to give you a collection of usable, different and unique stamps that build your collection over the months and years to come. I don't want to bring the same images or things that are already available, I want to help you evolve and try something different in your crafting. I am launching another new collection on Tuesday at Hochanda with Dave, so I do hope you will join me then. For now Take care and Happy Crafting.xx

New Collections Coming on Hochanda

Morning everyone, I have to say it is wonderful to be back with you at long last. I am feeling a lot better now and I have been looking forward to sharing the news with you. Today I am launching a brand new Collection on Hochanda at 10 am with Charlie, with another show with Hayley at 3 pm. I have put my heart and soul into this collection, so I really hope you like it as much as me and my Design team. I have another launch on Tuesday at 11am and 2pm, with totally different crafting goodies.

Without my small Design Team, I really couldn't have managed the amount of wonderful samples that will be displayed on the set. They have made such an amazing selection to show the huge variety of looks you can achieve with the new Craftascope collection.

I will be sharing many tutorials with you, with lots of inspiration on just how much you can do with them. I have added a die to this collection which has been so well received in the team. It has been designed to create an ATC Card and coordinating envelope, but I have made sure that they are not the only things you can use it for.

I hope you will join me today and Tuesday,  If you are new to Hochanda, here is  VOUCHER CODE WHICH WILL GIVE YOU 10% OFF OF YOUR FIRST ORDER: FEY5JBP7  

Please take the time to visit the blogs of the rest of my Design team and the samples they have made for the shows:
