Our September Kits

Our monthly kits are popular and tend to sell out quickly. We have something for every paper crafter - Cookies Card Club (this month $38) contains so much gorgeous product to make at least a dozen cards or more with an inspiration sheet to get you started:

Pages to Die For (this month $38) is a scrapbooking kit full of enough product to create a double page layout (detailed instructions included) and either another double page or two singles or cards. There are samples of a single page and cards to inspire you. Each months kit is designed around a die which is available at 20% off when purchased with a kit. This months kit is $38 and the die is C4U Stitched Rectangles $20.95:

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:

Gearhead Card

At Catchy Crafts we love all things Tim (Holtz) as do our customers and as a result they rarely last for very long on our shelves. We recently had a new shipment of CHA releases and what better way to show you one of the great dies received - Gearhead:

We have this die set available here and in store.

and the cuteness continues

You may have guessed that the staff at Catchy Crafts has a real affection for Lawn Fawn dies and stamps and get quite excited when we get new stock in. Because we have so many of these cuties in stock at the moment we thought we would share yet another inspirational video:

While they last, you can find them in store and online here

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!!!!). Nichol Magourik shares some awesome cards in this video:

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.

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 .
