More Mini Makes

Wow! What a response we have had to our canvas Mini Make we released a week or so ago! So, thank you to everyone I can't wait to see what you make!

But, as promised I have just finished uploading two more to our website!! 

This time I have card to share, made using Fairy Wings....


And I have also decorated an MDF Heart.


Both of these beauties are now available on our website here.....Mini Make 

Oh and talking of websites, I am in the process of adding all our lovely new products, I am working on Inks at the moment. So, whilst I am updating our website if there is something you are looking for but can not find it please drop me an email kym@craftyroodesigns.co.uk

Also, I am slowly trying to create a Mini Make for each of our stamp sets, so if you have a stamp set and would like to see what Mini Make I can come up with for it, then please leave me a comment or drop me an email, and that stamp set could be next.......

Up-cycling Pen Pots

You might have noticed I have gone a little Alcohol Ink mad at the moment! And this project is no exception!

I needed a pot to display some pens on the stand and I have had a couple of bright pink metal ones rolling around for a while. So, 5 minutes and a box of inks and this is what I came up with....



Then, just as I was finishing putting away the inks I came across a gold one! Well, it would have been rude not to give it a try! I think it was just the ticket to finish these off!

March's Monthly Make

If feels a little weird sat here writing about the fabulous Spring stamp set we have for March when the weather we have had today has been forever changing!

(And Little Lady true to form, decided today was the day she would drag her school shorts out of the wardrobe, as "It is Spring you know mummy!" and wear them to school granted three out of the four pairs went on the too small pile but she was determined! So today in the snow she wore her shorts!!! In complete contrast Little Man has spent the day finding blankets to snuggle under! Chalk and cheese has nothing on those too!)

So, what "Springs" to mind when you think of Spring......

For me it is Tulips, big bold red Tulips all standing tall celebrating Spring! Every year I plant a few more bulbs hoping that this will be the year that I finally get a couple that come up. So, this year they will work, because I will stamp them instead....


Fabulous hey?

Sue has (as always!) come up with three different ways to use your Make It Kit.




And I have been playing with our new glass paints, which will be available on our website soon!

New Mini Make

I know I have been really quiet recently but we have been really busy behind the scenes! 

Over Christmas we bought out a very good friends craft stock! Whilst, we will miss them terribly, as they have helped, supported and given us so much advice over the past few years it was the right decision for them and I have their number so they aren't getting away from us that easily. 

So since Christmas we have been working hard to combine all their stock and ours and decided what we want to continue stocking and what not to, along with setting up accounts and everything else that needs sorting! 

We are nearly there - so over the next few weeks we will be adding all sorts of exciting products to our website. And, it will also mean a few things get moved around on there too - so if you can't find what you are looking for please drop me an email (kym@craftyroodesigns.co.uk) and I will help you out!

But, in the meantime I have just loaded this little beauty onto the website.....


Well, as requested this is our first project Mini Make. As always, the kit gives you a complete step by step guide on how to make it, along with all the materials you will need. All you need to do is decide what stamps you what to use (stamps not included).

Watch out as we have a few more to follow!!!
