Creativation 2020 – craft secrets revealed!

We're having a fantastic time at Creativation and it's so great to meet other crafters who love paper crafts as much as we do! I wanted to create some makes for our stand that were bright and bold to reflect how positive we feel about 2020. I went with a colour palette that scared me a little at first (I think we all tend to have favourite crafting colour combos that feel safe!). Well I was definitely out of that...

Twist & Reveal – Pretty Poinsettias!

We're finally able to reveal our brand new Pretty Poinsettia Twist & Reveal die-set! It's such an incredible die-set as it enables you to make your own 5-petal poinsettias/flowers which SPIN 360 degrees on your cards AND when you pull the petals, they twist and open to reveal a hidden surprise inside! I've been adding photos and hidden greetings inside many of my poinsettias and I'm having soooo much fun crafting with them! There's also a co-ordinating A5 photopolymer stamp...

Colour layering peony stamps!

The more I'm playing with our Perfect Peonies stamp set, the more I love it! I keep finding new ways to use it and it's such fun experimenting with different ink combinations. Our photopolymer stamp layers are made with the added bonus of a little notch which marks the top of the stamp colour layer – so no more rotating a stamp around and around to see which way up it goes! I wanted to share with you how the colour...

Perfect Peonies!

Perfect Peonies is the much anticipated stamp set released with our new Buds to Blooms collection. It's a bumper A4 photopolymer stamp set and it is, in fact, so full of stamps that we had to design the packaging on one side only as it was the only way we could display ALL of those gorgeous high quality stamps! It felt self-indulgent drawing the artwork for this stamp set as I enjoyed it so much! For me, what makes the...
