Crazy about Tim

If you are lucky enough to own the Crazy Birds, Cats or Dogs stamps and have invested in the matching dies, you may find this post by Tim Holtz helpful, as the dies can be a bit confusing as to which bit goes where on the stamped images. We hope this helps:

More Lawn Fawn Cuteness

Our Lawn Fawn stocks were quickly depleted, but we have restocked and put up new stamps & dies as well. These cute, punny (not sure if that's actually a real word) and just downright adorable stamps and dies seem to leap of the shelf and into customer baskets (and our staff's as well!!!!).

Under the Sea

We are now taking pre-orders for Heartfelt Creations NEW collection - Under the Sea.

Take a walk along the edge of the deep blue sea, feel the warm sand between your toes and breathe in the salty air. Balmy breezes tousle your hair and toy with the exotic hibiscus flower behind your ear as you stoop to snatch a lustrous seashell that has been swept onto the beach with the incoming tide. Cares and worries melt away because life really is better at the seaside.

Emma Lou shows you how lovely it is:

IrRESISTible Pico Embellisher

This is a resist medium that you can paint and draw with and use with watercolor paints, water based inks and sprays. Once you get the paint flowing nicely through the nozzle, you can draw fine or thicker lines and dots. How hard you squeeze the bottle, determines the paint flow speed and amount. It dries within 20-30 minutes and adheres well to various kinds of paper, without flaking off.

All Dolled Up

Peta loves playing with dolls - she has admitted it to us....the Julie Nutting Doll stamps that is and here are some of the lovely cards made with them. We know she has just bought some of the new Seaside dolls, so are looking forward to sharing those with you also. If you'd like to shop the range just click here.

We would love to see your creations too, please either email us or pop in store with your dolls or any other crafty creations you make.

Clever Customers

We really have some amazing customers who are not only crafty but also very clever. Jenny Fussell couldn't find the right pathway stamp to use with this cute couple (Penny Black - Summer Love), so she got her husband to photograph one when they were out at Fagan Park and she used the photo as the background. Just perfect!!

Seth Apter Stamps & Dies

At CHA earlier this year Spellbinders launched a new range of dies and matching stamps designed by Seth Apter. If you love the grunge/mixed media look, then these are just the thing:

and here is the man himself at CHA:

New Lawn Fawn

Our latest shipment of Lawn Fawn stamps and matching dies has meant a shuffle in the shop as there was just too much for where we had them..not that they will last long on the rack as the staff were drooling over them as they were putting them out .
