SO SANDED SOLIDS

Still on the theme of solid colour papers which I really am so enjoying at the moment, we have So Sanded Solids out in the shop now too!


These are very worn at the edges, kind of scratchy. I like to tear these after printing for a really great textured effect. They have the effect of being rubbed with sandpaper so are very distressed and shabby.

They come in 20 deliciously gorgeous colours and I love them!

You can see them here and they are £2.50. Enjoy!

Some cards made with these papers to follow tomorrow :)

Simply Solids

Lots to show you today!

Our designers have been busy coming up with projects with our Simply Solids Papers which are brand new in the shop today.

I have made some mini cards with them too and I am so happy with the colours, I think I will be using these a LOT ! There are 29 lovely colours to choose from and a sheet of little sentiments
included too!

Solid plain papers are always needed but using these ONLY in a project I think is really nice sometimes, it can show the other elements of a project off and you can get really creative when there are no patterned papers to steal the show ... things like ...

dressing up with bling
stitching or faux stitching
a great image
texturizing with embossing or distressing
layering up
experimenting with colour combinations
adding embellishments, ribbons, twine, lace
or shaping the card iteself

A New Paper Collection & Designers' Creations

Introducing our brand new paper collection ~ 'Shabby Beautiful'

This is a fairly large collection and includes over 200 papers. There's some sentiment ribbons and card toppers plus some pretty accessory papers to play with too.

The whole collection is very feminine, pretty a little bit shabby but still very contemporary.

I am really enjoying using this collection as it's so feminine which I love and it means I can go mad with pink as my all time favourite colour to craft with!

It lends itself beautifully to using all the gorgeous embellies around at the moment ... go mad with lace, buttons, flowers, scallops, ribbons, doilies, buckles and pretty gems.

I hope you'll love it and have fun creating with it!
