HAVE A DELIGHTFUL CHRISTMAS EVERYONE, AND AN AMAZING 2020...

Thank you for all your lovely comments on my last post; that's Pearl, Culliesocks Kate, Pat, Craftychris, scrAPamondo, Sandma, Flo, pearshapedcrafting Chris, and Gerrina, and to everyone who is reading this blog, we would like to wish you all a very delightful Christmas, and an amazing and joyful 2020!

Here are a few bits and bobs, just photographed, to assist in the Merry Christmas wishes:

One of my most favourite festive decorations is this fabulous reindeer, who sits in pride of place on my mantelpiece every year.  His name is 'Dave', and one of my crafty 'students' Helen has a bit of a sewing session every Christmas and one year she made Dave for me, and here he is...


Here is another beauty again made by Helen...
Santa is his name...


I have several more including 'Celeste' the angel, a snowman in a flowerpot, a Rudolph (this year's make), and a robin amongst others.  Love them all Helen x

I have added this wreath made for the last Hochy shows to the centre of the mantelpiece, with its dingly dangly bells..


Here is a star card full of Joy...


 And to finish I have a beautiful card sent to us by a customer - Janet, and I though it was so pretty I had to share it with you..


So have a very Merry Christmas one and all.
Back soon,

MORE MAKES FROM THE DECEMBER HOCHY SHOWS....

I still have lots of good stuff to show you by the team, who as always did us proud on the early December Hochanda shows.  Tonight I have several beauties by Sylvie to start us off....









So delightful and all main stamp designs can be found here.

Next I also have another beauty by Sam (gorgeous in blues and silver embossing)..


Here are a few of my own - very bright (sunglasses may be needed) and hopefully cheerful....




...and because these are looking at me from my computer desktop right now, here is a very, very gorgeous card by Sandra....


Plus two makes by Lesley made on the shows in October.  The Happy Cat with the 'boinging' head, and the Lion King stamped and coloured on acetate...



Hope you've enjoyed tonight's show folks?!

Back soon,

NEW TEAMIE NEWS....

We have had a couple of recent retirements from the CI Team, however I'm delighted to say that we also have a new member of the Team now too - the lovely Sally Holmes, who I'm sure many of you know already.  Sally was one of our first customers to make samples for us, some twelve years or so ago I should think.  I still have the samples now.  Sally and I were sharing candle making know how recently, and I've had a bit of an obsession with candle making (you might have noticed, lol!), so I asked Sally if she would like to join us on the team.  Thankfully she said yes, and also sent me some piccies of some of her more recent CI related samples, and here they are, starting with some beautiful candles, would you believe, ha ha ....





....and now a couple of cards...



We are looking forward to seeing lots more from Sally in the future.  Thanks Sally.

We also have a brand new private CI Facebook group, which you can find at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/573106843232980/.  A lovely lady called Chris has put it all together, and we would love it if you could join in with the group and the chat, and post your CI related samples on there too.

The other news is that we released some new stamps on Hochanda TV recently, and currently you will find them in our New Products section here: https://www.craftyindividuals.co.uk/new-products
and they are on a nice special offer currently as well (for a limited time).  More about those soon, as well as lots of lovely samples to inspire.

Back soon,
