Wedding Stationery

We often get customers visiting the shop who would like to make their own wedding stationery and although we do have a selection of products, they're scattered around the shop rather randomly!

So we've decided to have a special display area in the shop just for wedding stationery products including card blanks, embellishments and sample cards with loads of ideas on different styles to provide you with inspiration.

Our first selection of products will be arriving very soon and shortly after, we'll have some sample cards made up together with a lovely display to show them off.

Check out the Coming Soon section of our website for a sneak peak of what's to come!

Jewellery, Jewellery!

We've just had some stunning new jewellery items in store that I simply must tell you about!

They're from a new supplier that we've recently been introduced to who stock an extremely wide range of crafting supplies including a great selection of jewellery as well as loads of really "crafty" things that I'm sure loads of you would be interested in!!

We have a catalogue in the shop that you're more than welcome to browse through and we'll soon be placing another order so you won't have long to wait if there's anything that catches your eye.

Please click here to view all the lovely new jewellery items we've received.  We've already sold out of a few items as they are proving really popular, and the prices are extremely reasonable for the quality.

We also have some stunning pendants due to arrive in the next day or two so check them out in our Coming Soon section here.

Xcut Build-A-Scene Dies by docrafts - coming soon!

What do you think?!

Lots of new goodies!

October was a bit of a quiet month stock-wise in the shop.  We had a few new bits and bobs in but nothing particularly exciting.

However, I think we're making up for that this month.  It's only the 1st and we've already placed loads of orders for some GORGEOUS products including the stunning Art Deco range from docrafts, Hougie Boards and Books, Pearl Glues for making all those fabulous pearls on your cards, Sizzix dies and embossing folders and loads more!

Check out the Coming Soon section of our website for more info on everything that's arriving in the next few days.

We've also got some amazing new printed backing papers now in stock - exclusive to Valley Craft they are printed onto the gorgeous Silver Mist Iridescent paper in black and magenta with a swirl design.  Ian has made a fabulous Art Deco style card which combines the new backing papers and the free stamp on this month's Creativity Magazine so next time you're visiting, be sure to check it out!

Toread.....or not Toread.....that is the question!

Crafter's Companion are once again bringing out the cutest papercrafting range you can imagine!

It's probably not to everyone's taste but I for one LOVE, LOVE, L-O-V-E it!

It's the new Toread range which includes a CD-ROM, 6 Rubber Stamp Sets, 2 Die-cut Decoupage Sets and 2 Papercrafting Kits made by Hunkydory.

We've been umming and arring about whether to get it as it's going to be on a certain craft tv shopping channel as Pick of the Week from tomorrow and we're not sure if everyone is going to rush out and buy it from them, rather than waiting another week for us to have stocks.

So, if you wouldn't mind, there's a poll on the righthand side of this blog which will hopefully give us an idea of where most of our customers plan on purchasing, if at all.  Please take a few seconds to vote.

You can also take a more detailed look at the range here.

Sizzix Order

Sometime in the next few weeks we will be placing our very first order with Sizzix!

If you've never heard of them before, they are a company that make a wide range of die-cutting machines, embossing folders and dies and their product lines are truly phenomenal.

We are in the process of taking pre-orders from customers so if you would like to have a browse through their ranges, either pop into the shop where we have a full catalogue printed off, or click on the links below to view the online versions.
