After A Short Break - Men's Embellishments!

After a short break away in the sun in Tenerife, we are back with some new items which will excite some of you crafters! Men are notoriously difficult to cater for when it comes to crafting, card making and scrapbooking in particular, so we have picked and made some nautical and clock themed resins that would suit most men we think!

Available at our Resin Page on Facebook, these beautiful sets can be bought and applied on to any kind of project you'd like. And as with all our other resin items, they can be painted, glittered (if the recipient likes glitter of course!) and stuck to any medium without fear of breaking of them weighing the medium down.

Let us know what you think of them, and keep an eye on the page as more will be coming shortly!

Under The Sea canvas art: Done Quickly!

As we have had a decent amount of interest in the Under The Sea canvas art piece, we decided to start selling kits so people could make their own at home, and arrange them however they'd like. We also decided to release a tutorial video which is currently being edited and rendered, and then will be uploaded to YouTube for you all to watch, learn from and enjoy!

In the meantime, however, we have a quick speed art version of the video for you to get a sneak peek at how it's done!

Here's a #sneakpeek #preview of the #tutorial video we will be releasing, demonstrating how to recreate the #UnderTheSea #canvas #art piece we showed you a while back. All the pieces you'd need are available in the #kit you can buy from us, and as you can see, it doesn't take a lot to make something look truly #beautiful and #special! #alteredart #speedart #fastart #paint #painting #sea #seashells #seashell #ocean #nautical #create #cre8time #craft #crafty #crafts #crafting #canvasart #marine #CraftAllDay

National Pet Day! - The Curious Cat!

Today is National Pet Day in America, and so we decided to focus on an item that we have recently covered and received a lot of love and attention.

The curious cat stamp!

Perfect for cat lovers, curious people, or someone who just loves animals in general!

There are so many different ways you can use the components of this stamp set that the possibilities are truly endless!

The image above shows an example of how you can put it together, but you can do literally anything with this, and create some wonderful works of art. If you make something and would like it showcased on the blog, please get in touch and let us know and we'd be more than happy to do so!

Holiday Time: Kids Get Crafty!

It's the Easter holidays, which can only mean one thing for most of us, lots of noise and bored children wanting to do anything and everything, but not knowing what to do! At www.craftallday.co.uk we have a solution for you...

The Mini Activity Pack!!! Featuring either Unicorn & Heart, Rocket & Car, Dinosaurs, Crab & Mermaid, or Anchor & Whale MDF shapes; these kits also come with a set of paints so your little ones can decorate their shapes until they're completely happy with their works of art!

Each kit will give them at least an hour or two of imaginative creating which will inspire them to make more and be more creative in their work! Suitable for boys and girls aged 4+, this should keep them entertained for some time, and give you a rest (or maybe even some inspiration for yourself!) If you like the look of these, get in touch!

Beautiful resin embellishments!

So, the other day we mentioned the rise in interest in our resin embellishments, and gave you the link to the Facebook page. Today, we are going to give you a little preview of what's available!

This is just a small portion of what we have available, and as we said before we are expanding the range almost every day, and if you keep up with us on Facebook you'll see more and more as we post newer items.

They are surprisingly sturdy and have an incredible amount of detail to them, down to fabric stitiching on the dresses and the scales on the mermaids which in turn have textured scales on themselves! They can also be painted on, have glitter added to them, and can be attached to any kind of background.

So you can see here, the level of detail and the complexity of these casts is just stunning! And as you can do anything you like with them, the potential results are endless! We'd love to see what you make with these resin casts, so please get in touch and we'll showcase some on the blog!

Product Highlights: Visible Image Stamps

Today we are going to highlight some of our favourite products we have available to buy at www.craftallday.co.uk!

On this Wednesday morning we will be looking at some of the lovely stamps created by Visible Image. They have produced a wide range of very eye catching stamps, which are very different from the vast majority of stamps available on the market today, and we are stocking the best ones! At very affordable prices, you can give your craft projects a bit more edge and a stunning look which will get everyone looking at your work.

Below are just a few examples of those stamps, and if you click on the image you will be taken to the page on our site where you can buy them!

 

So, as you can see, there are a wide variety of striking images that you can create using these stamps, and they are very unique in their style, look and sentiments. They can be combined, or used partially, to make each project or card unique and different in subtle or more obvious ways. The beautiful thing about these stamps is that they are very versatile and will take any kind of ink, so regardless of what you have or buy, you know it will work with these products!

Personally, we love these stamps and what they help to create, and we hope that you will come to love them too!

Resin Embellishments!

So in recent weeks we have noticed a significant rise in interest in resin embellishments that we have been making, which can be painted or left blank and be used in almost every crafting project you could imagine! In response to this, we have set up a new Facebook page here, so you can check them out and buy some if they pique your interest!

We have a very wide range of products available, from small owls and clocks, to larger horses and floral decorative pieces. You can see just a small percentage of what we have available already on the Facebook page itself, and we will be adding more images each day as we have a lot more to show you! We intend to expand the range and will also be adding them to our main website, www.craftallday.co.uk, so you can purchase either from the page directly or the website itself.

These wonderful resin casts are very sturdy and mean you can make your cards more 3 dimensional, and give them a unique touch that will make them stand out by a mile. The wide variety means that you can embellish your craft projects intended for women, men or children alike. The texture of these casts also allow you to paint them with any colours you'd like, glitters included, or you can leave them as they are, with a marble/cream type of colour and feel to them.
