A reminder that this layout class is coming up on Tuesday 22 May 7 – 9pm. As always, lots of tips and techniques to pick up and a great opportunity to have a go at using this new Lucky 8 Border Punch.
Call or email Mary at the store to book your place.
Do you have Mother’s Day all planned for this year?
With my commitment to ‘give handmade’ this year I set out last night to make a card for Mum … 3 hours later I had a series of matching cards completed and a little card folder to pop a set of cards and envelopes in. Now Mum will have a handmade card to give when she next requires one. Unfortunately I forgot to take photos before I wrapped the parcel up to be sent off today. But if you are looking for card inspiration we have plenty of samples in store and of course, all the lovely supplies you’d need to make all the cards you need.
If you are still looking for a gift … or you have a husband and children still looking for a gift … come and see us at Craft House, I’m sure we’ll be able to help you find that perfect item. Whether it be a new tool to make your crafting life easier, pretty papers, stickers or embellishments to play with, albums, page kits … or even a Project Life kit … we have lots of ideas for you to choose from.
You may also be interested in a delightful little class we have planned for Saturday afternoon. (12 May 2 – 4pm)
Create a beautiful little mirror for your wall. This would be a great class for mothers and daughters to do together, just $35 for each project completed … so you could work on one together or complete one each … it’s up to you. A fancy afternoon tea will also be provided, so you can really relax and enjoy your afternoon at Craft House.
If you are interested in the other classes we have on offer for May, they can be found here or pick up a printed copy in store.
Have a happy Mothers Day
The following 12 packs of Project Life Pocket Pages are now back in store……..A, B, C, D and F. This means ALL the current designs of Page Pockets/Page Protectors are in stock and available to ship immediately…. yippeee!
If you have back-orders for any or all of these, we will be working hard over the next few days to ship these out to you from Monday onwards. Thanks for your patience 
The very popular "D" design
We received all the pretty pictures today……so you can now PRE-ORDER the lovely NEW Pocket Pages/Page Protectors announced by Becky …..
Please place your orders here ….. At this stage the ETA on these is July….a bit of a wait we know, but well worth it!
We were a bit naughty and highjacked part of the shipment meant for Amazon.com….but don’t worry, we had Becky’s ok …the ever popular 6 x 12 Pocket Pages are back
as are the Big Packs of 60 “A”s….
we still have plenty of the Variety 1 & 2 Packs and the very useful Big Packs of 12 x 12 (a great price for 60 Page Protectors!).
You can order all of the above on our website here
Did you know we offer a wide range of classes in our store for those of you who are locals … or perhaps visiting Wellington and wanting to take in a class or two?
Our Adult Classes for March can be found here. They include a selection of card making and scrapbooking sessions and are aimed for the beginner right through to more experienced crafters.
One of my favourites coming up this month is a new mini album class using the ‘These Days’ collection from Kaisercraft.
A beautiful little album made entirely from scratch and perfect for a special collection of photos. This class will run on Saturday 17 March 1 -4pm. Just call Mary at the store to book your place.
Another class I’d like to point out is our ‘B.Y.O.’ class planned for Sunday 25 March. A new idea for this year … and no … it’s not byo wine (although that would be fine too) … but byo supplies. Each month a ‘shopping list’ will be provided – you bring the supplies from home, or come early and buy them from the store. Full layout instructions are provided and classes are ‘technique’ focussed to help you make the most of the supplies you already have.
Here’s a peek at the March layout …
The full layout can be seen instore and shopping list details are on the class schedule.
If you are a little geographically challenged and can’t make it to Wellington for a class have a look at our class kits here. These are kits for past layout classes so they have MOST of what you need to complete the layout, including instructions, but you may have to improvise with stamps, masks, embossing folders … or whatever tools were used in the class but not included in the kit. Good value for money if you are looking for some inspiration and new ideas.
And while we’re talking classes the new Holiday Classes Programme for kids is now out. There are lots of fun classes on offer for April and it would pay to book in as soon as possible.
Looking forward to seeing you in a class soon …
Thanks to Project Life, my many packets of photos going back to when the boys were little and which I hadn’t had the time or inclination to use in a layout, are all in albums….yippee! I love those Variety Packs….all those different page styles are certainly adding some interest to my albums…..
Even though we have sold out of some of the plastics….we have plenty of the Big Envelope Pockets (another favourite of mine for sooo many things) and all the Variety Packs are still available…… The Big Pack of 60 12 x 12′s is a another great buy and is so versatile.
Please check out the website here for what’s available and what’s coming……
Full update coming out to all customers in the next few days – but in the interim, for those looking for an update on pre-orders, waiting for new stock to arrive – the wait is almost over. A truck load (literally) of the product ex-China arrived late yesterday afternoon (that’s the page inserts, the dividers and the two new bulk packs options) and its been a full on day working through the pre-orders and getting them ready for shipping. A good number of orders left this afternoon… and we anticipate all pre-orders that can logically be shipped should be on the way by end of day Monday. We are still waiting for our next shipment of Core Kits, some Binders and the Page Inserts “D” (all being arranged currently – with a delivery date April/May) and we have another enormous shipment of page inserts, dividers etc due in the next 3 weeks bringing us closer to the position we are striving for where the need for pre-orders are a thing of the past and we can hold sufficient stock to handle the increasing popularity of Project Life!
Thanks to your support and the huge popularity of Project Life over the last couple of weeks, we have sold out of many of the products, however, we haven’t sold out of everything……so please check the store for what is still available.
We have a re-stock shipment of most of the “plastics” (these include the exceedingly popular Scrapbook Dividers!) arriving from China in 3-4 weeks, along with the Black and White Signature Binders and several boxes of Clementine and Cobalt Binders which were short-shipped originally.
You are now able to pre-order the out-of-stock products again….please note, we won’t ship your order until all items are received in store.
One of two fabulous Project Life necklaces…..just pre-order either of the new Black or White Signature Binders before the end of November to be in the draw. (If you have already ordered either Binder, you will be automatically included in the draw)
Drawn and posted to the two winners the first week of December.
