NEW Craft Consortium, Tim Holtz and so much more!

Hi everyone

Where did August go? The weeks certainly fly by! We sadly lost a dearly loved family member towards the end of July and so August was pretty intense, as you can imagine. However, keeping the crafty cogs turning and wanting to bring you exciting new products meant that we had something else to focus on too, which helped.

As a result, we have brought in all kinds of wonderful goodies for you, including two new paper collections from Craft Consortium and a new addition to their Essential Craft Papers range, new Halloween mixed media products from Tim Holtz, lots of gorgeous kits for you to try your hand at new hobbies, and more seasonal products from Woodware, Sam Poole, Andy Skinner and Angela Poole.

So, without further ado, here's a quick run-down of the new arrivals, in no particular order.

Craft Consortium launched their new premium collection Tis The Season, together with a new collaboration with Helz Cuppleditch called Candy Christmas. These two collections are both full of gorgeous imagery and an assortment of embellishments to finish your projects. They're both perfect for everything from card making to creating those one-of-a-kind centrepieces for your Christmas table. They also launched a new Essential Craft Papers addition - Tartan. Perfect for projects all year round!

Tim Holtz and Ranger have launched this year's Halloween mica sprays and associated products. The colours are as gorgeous as last year's offering and definitely worth investing in. We've also brought in Tim's first two sets of Foundry Wax which are perfect for adding gilded highlights to your projects.

Kits galore arrived only last week, including macrame, candle making, metal embossing and much more. There are lots of different kits to choose from and they make perfect gifts for birthdays or Christmas, or why not treat yourself and try something new!

Angela Poole has released a new festive collection and we have her lovely stencils in stock which are perfect not only for card making but all kinds of mixed media projects too.

Andy Skinner and Sam Poole have been busy creating some fabulous Halloween themed goodies for you.

And last, but by no means least, Woodware have released more festive stamps which are perfect for all your Christmas card making.

Coming soon .... new paint collections from FolkArt and a new essential paper design from Craft Consortium ... watch this space!
