Hi again, doesn't time fly? Sorry it's been a while, we've had a very busy few weeks here at A Crafty Pause HQ.
Wow! Only 5 weeks from now, Christmas Day will be done and dusted and there will be plenty of people nursing hangovers, whether from too much food or too much fizzy stuff, or both! And no doubt you will be desperate to get back to your sanctuary, your crafting space, for a little peace and quiet!
In our house, it's slightly different at Christmas. We used to try to cram it all into one day - opening the presents, cooking the roast dinner with all the trimmings, and playing games together, and having some kind of buffet tea too. But it all became a bit much, and used to end up being such a frantic day, not relaxed at all. So, a few years ago we changed things, and it was the best decision we ever made. We now spread it all over two days, Christmas Day and Boxing Day, and it's so much more relaxed and suits us down to the ground.
Anyway, enough chit-chat! Back to business, and we just wanted to tell you about the latest new arrivals at A Crafty Pause, plus some restocks.
We finally have the lovely sunflower charms and the adhesive enamel dots which complete the Craft Consortium Happy Harvest collection - these were delayed at their entry port hence only just arriving now but hey, better late than never!
We've brought in gorgeous stamps and stencils from Designer Boutique, Woodware and Andy Skinner, which are perfect for all kinds of projects from cards to mixed media wall art.
We have the WOW! Fab Foilers sets for you to use with your Fab Foils. These packs give you lots of options for words, sentiments and backgrounds, all of which can be foiled in whichever colour you want for your project. All you need is a laminator and you're away!
And whilst the main focus may still be Christmas, it's also time to look ahead to next year, and to this end there's also a brand new Valentine's collection in stock! This includes stamps from Woodware and Sam Poole, some lovely DL stencils, new Wordies packs and an A4 card pack full of lovely pink hues. This collection is perfect for card making, gift making and creating beautiful packaging for those romantic gifts too!
And last, but by no means least, we have Jamie Rodgers' new Sentiment Dies in stock - perfect for lots of different occasions and in a lovely font too.
We've re-stocked lots of the ever-popular Craft Consortium Essential Papers, including Tartan, Eastern Influences and many more, plus their fabulous premium collections Tis the Season and Candy Christmas. Oh, and we've added Made By Elves too!
We've also re-stocked the fabulous FolkArt Enamels Gloss Acrylics, which are hugely popular and fantastic for working on glass and a whole range of other surfaces, and dry to a lovely gloss finish.
And we've re-stocked the WOW! Fab Foils, just in time to use with the Fab Foilers!
Finally, we have added a section on the website for Dies, to make them easier for you to find.
So, whether you're making cards, special gifts or prefer playing with paint, we've got you covered!
Until next time, happy crafting!
