Docrafts - Spotlight post

Good Morning crafty people,

I hope you all had a good weekend and haven't been affected by the cold too much, it's certainly been staying indoors and crafting weather.

Today see's another spotlight post, this time I am focusing on docrafts.  If you are a crafter and lets face it you wouldn't be reading this if you weren't, then you will have heard of or used docrafts products before.

Docrafts sell numerous craft related products from brand names such as Papermaina, craft planet, Anitas, xcut and stick it to name a few. To quote their website their products are  "aimed at beginners to high end items perfect for enthusiasts"

Over the years I have tried many of their products and have never been disappointed in them at all. Here are a few cards I have made this year using their kits;

99% of what you see in the pictures is docrafts product including card blanks and adhesive. Actually all of the adhesive I use except for Candi fix is from one of the docrafts ranges.


Do crafts products are stocked by many retailers including The Range, Hobbycraft and Createandcraft.tv. Their website is packed full of fantastic inspiration, events listings, product details and much much more.

If you've never tried their products maybe pop over to their website and have a browse of the extensive items on offer.

I'll be back soon with another post but until then take care Tx

Craftwork Cards - Spotlight post

Hello everyone

Today see's me continue my spotlight posts which focus on a different craft company each time, as the title suggests today's company is Craftwork cards.


Those of you who follow me on social media will probably know by now that I am a die hard CWC (Craftwork Cards) addict, sorry I mean fan.  I love everything about them from their style, quality, pricing and staff.

Like many others, when I first started to dabble in crafting I  picked up cheap bits and pieces that I thought I could make things with, but I found it hard to coordinate them and create striking quality items.  Then one day I stumbled upon Craftwork cards and my crafting changed for ever.

Here are a few projects created using their products;

This tea pot card was created with the Afternoon Tea collection.

Ths alarm clock is from the Bohemian Dreams kit.

A bobin card using the Fab fabric collection

Guilty pleasures is the name of the kit I used to make this card

Love a cuppa is such a yummy kit, soft retro colours 

The potting shed II is a follow up to the hugely successful potting shed kit

Suits you sir is one of the male focused kits

As you can see from the themes of the cards above Craftwork cards has something for everyone, the kits coordinate perfectly and help guide you but dont restrict your creativity.  Julie Hickey is the demonstrator for the company, she is a very down to earth and friendly lady who is full of tips and easy to follow demos, she can be seen on Create and Craft TV and at several major craft shows around the country.  There is also a very active fan group on facebook, full of wonderful pictures, support and advice.

I hope you will have a look at there website and consider them when you next purchase craft items.

Happy Crafting Tx

Just Gorjuss - Spotlight post

Evening all

Well it's been a very cold day here in Bristol and I'm feeling a little blah at the moment so I decided to have a look back through some of my previous crafty makes.  I thought I would focus on the Gorjuss range form Santoro.


I have a huge amount of Gorjuss stamps, this is just some of them;

Over the last year I have enjoyed collecting them, stamping them and using Promarkers to colour them in. Here are a few of my favorite ones I done so far;

I have also made some cards using papercraft products stocked by docrafts

Gorjuss is just one of my favorite craft brands, over the next few days I will be uploading brand focused post for companies including Craftwork cards, Folk it and Papermania, I hope that you will pop back and see what I have to share.

Tx
