Halloween
Halloween is nearly upon us and we have a great selection of products in the shop now. If you want to make spooky cards, gifts & decorations we have stickers, stamps, ribbons, scrapbooking papers and crepe paper and more, with prices starting at just 99p.

For those of you who are entering into the spirit of fancy dress we have a selection of Snazaroo face paints both in individual colour pots or sets specifically for Halloween.

Christmas
We still have some Christmas products in the shop but these are selling fast, so if you are still needing supplies to finish your Christmas cards then I would urge you to get it now!

If you are thinking of giving handmade gifts this Christmas then we have a variety of suitable products that you can use. In particular have a look at our mirror shapes, these are inexpensive but can look fantastic on painted canvases, even if you are not a great artist you can make lovely pictures- ask to see an idea book in the shop.

New In-Store

Bridal Range
We have just taken delivery of a brand new range of products specifically designed for making your own wedding stationary; The Paper Poetry range contains embellishments, pocket cards & wallets, shaped inserts and more. All beautifully co-ordinated, this range is of a very high quality but the prices are very reasonable, and I think it is just gorgeous! This range is brought to us by a German company Rico and you are able to download pdf files from their website to assist you in printing your wedding stationary at home. A wee word of warning! Rico is a German company and some of the wording they use in the pdfs do suffer a bit in the translation! Don’t let this put you off. You are able to change the wording to anything you like, I would use the pdf’s purely for the basic layout & spacing of the wording inserting wording that is more in keeping with our way of doing things. Visit the website to see what I mean. http://www.rico-design.de/

Whilst I am on the subject of weddings, I’d like to remind everyone that we have a whole host of other products and services available that are suitable for use in making stationary, and you can save a substantial amount of money by making your own. In addition to a great range of good quality cardstock and envelopes, we have stick-on gems, ribbons and embellishments available. If we do not have what you require in stock we can often order in specific products for you.

We also do personalised printed ribbon, hen night sashes and stickers on site.

We offer a favour box cutting service and can offer a variety of die-cut shapes in many different shapes and finishes- speak to us about your requirements and we will see what we can do to help.

Wedding Stationary
Many brides are now considering making their own wedding stationary. As well as being a very cost effective option it also allows you to produce stationary that is unique to you and can be co-ordinated with your wedding themes and colours.

Not only do we stock the supplies you will need, we are also able to help with design ideas and techniques.

If you are a novice crafter we can help you develop your basic invitation design incorporating your colour scheme and any themes, eg butterflies, hearts etc. Once you have chosen your basic design, we will advise you on the best materials, tools etc to use and will help you work out the correct supplies to purchase. We can show you step-by-step how to make your wedding invitations and how to co-ordinate the design for order of service, table plans, favour boxes etc.

We do not charge for this service and you can come back for more help as many times as you wish.

We also offer a favour box cutting service & print personalised ribbons & hen night sashes on the premises.
