NEW PAPERS - Chap by American Crafts

American Crafts Collections have been a bit hit and miss however they struck it right with these papers.  As the name suggests these paper are ideal for all the CHAPS (men) in your life.  The colours appear primary in the image however they are quite muted with the base being cream instead of white (which is what it looks like in the images).  We have been getting so many papers in store that it is hard to think what to do with them all however, this collection is already on my scrap table as I can see lots of uses for it.

      INKA GOLD

      You have to see this product to get excited about it. It is a new medium for us and the results are truly fabulous. The product will transform any surface with a beautiful shimmer and glow in stunning and intense metalic colours.

      Inka-Gold is a non toxic creamy bees-wax based high pigment metallic gloss paint that is delivered in a smooth paste in elegant metallic shimmering colours which are easy to use. Simply apply with a sponge and polish with a gentle rubbing action. It dries immediately and is suitable for all absorbent surfaces. The natural beeswax helps make it weather and water resistant.
      One jar of Inka Gold can cover up to 80 square ft. Excellent for refinishing or accenting anything including furniture. Also great for paper mache boxes, chipboards, paper crafting and much more.  WE LOVE IT!!!

      NEW Scoreboards

      We now have scoreboards in 2 brands and 2 sizes.  Martha Stewart 12" in inches.  Scorepal 12" in cm and a small portable Scorepal with its own carry case.

      NEW - ECHO PARK COLLECTIONS

      Echo Park THIS AND THAT collection of papers and embellishments are now on the shelves.  Great happy designs.  Two themes... in greens or pinks.

      NEW - Heartfelt Creations Stamps

      For those of you who do not know these stamps, they are great rubber stamps mounted onto cling and precut.  They match to the spellbinder dies so once you stamp an image you can cut it out if you wish...no more fussy cutting!

      NEW - SMASH JOURNALS

      We have finally received our first shipment of SMASH Journals.  We have Pink, Green, Orange, Red.  There are also little bits and pieces to go with them.  I am sure they will be a hit...all the staff have bought them!!

      NEW Hemp Cord

      WOW, this cord is great.  It keeps its shape so your bows stay the way you tie them (which in my case is messily unless I use the bow maker)

      NEW - Templates from Crafters Workshop

      We have just received 45 of the 6x6 Crafters Workshop templates and 24  of the 12x12 ones.  There are great new designs.  These can be used with any ink or medium you have...and we have A LOT of them!  The latest one that I am in love with is the VIVA GOLD...more about this on a future post.

      NEW Flowers Galore from Petaloo

      We have received our first order from Petaloo.  There is a huge range of flowers including gorgeous chochet ones. Great range of styles and colours...makes me itch to start scrapbooking.
