I must admit Caro’s challenge this week had me stumped. I had an idea in my head when I saw it but it didn’t work out when I created my prototype and it was back to the drawing board.

Half term is over – phew – back to porridge as my Dad says! I hope you had a great time whatever you got up to. Just before we had half term, I held my team meeting.

As of yesterday, our full range of Blendabilities is now available. Apologies for not telling you yesterday, but what with the amazing Big Shot promotion being launched, it almost slipped my mind! Blendabilities are alcohol-based markers meaning the ink is suspended in alcohol making the colours so easy to blend.

Morning! Someone asked me recently about our Simply Pressed Clay – found in our annual catalogue. It is really one of our hidden gems, so easy to use and so inexpensive. You can see it here in our catalogue together with the moulds. There are so many ways to use it and colour it and add a bit of glitz and shimmer to it. So IO thought who better to showcase… Read More »
