New paint arrivals!

Hi crafty friends!

We're delighted to let you know that we have brought in a few new paint ranges from FolkArt, which we hope you'll love as much as we do.

The new arrivals included Glossy, Brushed Metal, Color Shift and Terra Cotta. These paints are all good quality, water-based specialist artist acrylic paints suitable for use on a variety of surfaces both indoors and outdoors.

Color Shift metallic paint dries to a glossy finish and you get flashes of different colour on the painted surface depending on how the light catches it, for example the black has a gold colour shift.

Glossy speaks for itself really. In a selection of bold and vibrant colours, these paints will give your projects a high gloss finish when dry.

Brushed Metal again does what it says on the bottle! When dry, your projects have the appearance of brushed metal with a sophisticated matte finish for a modern, contemporary look.

Terra Cotta is a textured paint in a selection of earthy tones which can be applied to many surfaces, both porous and non-porous, to give a matte, lightly textured finish with the appearance of terra cotta.

We've also added new exciting colours in the Enamels and Outdoor ranges.

Happy painting!

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.
