We're still here, but we're moving very soon!

A short while back we announced that we would be migrating most of our blog posts to our main site, which is www.craftallday.co.uk as while this blog has been fun, it hasn't brought a lot of traffic to the shop.

We are now posting primarily on Craft All Day, which you can read at www.craftallday.co.uk/MyCraftyBlog, or click right here!

We love craft, we love crafting, and we love craft products, and we also know you do too if you're reading this! So please join us on our main site, again www.craftallday.co.uk, and you'll be the first to hear about discounts, deals and clearance sales!

Humpday Happiness: Wooden Pieces for your Craft Projects!

It's that dreaded day of the week, the humpday, where we long for the weekend but know it's still a ways away yet! So we thought today we would highlight our Altered Art section of www.craftallday.co.uk!

               

 

These are just a tiny fraction of the Altered Art and wooden pieces we have for sale, that really bring out your cards and your craft projects, giving them a 3D feel, and also a bit of a rustic feel to the bigger pieces! There are things that every member of the family could enjoy, from painting, to decorating, to building, to even making your own sorting box!
A huge variety of items, with endless possibilities, will keep you (or your whole family) busy for quite some time creating their own masterpieces!

As always, we love seeing the work that you create with our products, so if you would like to see your projects featured on our channels, then feel free to get in touch with sarah@craftallday.co.uk, via our Facebook page, via our Twitter page, or via our Instagram page.

Thanks!

Regal Resins on a Monday!

So today we woke up feeling a little royal, and decided to showcase this new resin set of four beautifully detailed and made crowns!

As you can see from the picture above, these resins have an amazing layer of detail and really bring out the features of the pieces! Each one can look magnificent by themselves, but combined they have an even more stunning effect! Available for only £2.75, and can be hand coloured for an additional 40p, this really is stealing the crown jewels!

If you would like to purchase these resins, just click on the image and it will take you to our resin dedicated Facebook page where you can buy directly, and peruse the many other resin pieces we have available (with lots and lots more to come in the coming days and weeks!).

As always, we love seeing the work that you create with our products, so if you would like to see your projects featured on our channels, then feel free to get in touch with sarah@craftallday.co.uk, via our Facebook page, via our Twitter page, or via our Instagram page.

Now Offering: Coloured Resins!

So on this gloomy Tuesday in the Midlands, we'd like to cheer everyone up and introduce some colour to your day! We are now very pleased to be able to say we can now offer coloured resins, in at least 8 colours and more on the way, for just an additional 20p-40p depending on the size.

As an example, we've used one of our favourite resin pieces, the window/picture frame in 8 lovely colours:

As you can see, some of the colours are subtle, some of them are very bold, but all would be perfect for most types of cards and projects!

The beautiful darker and more subtle colours would work brilliantly on a retro background, or for something that needs a more vintage or steampunk look, whereas the brighter colours would work great on a child's card or for something upbeat and funky!

The paler colours are perfect for more classy and antique types of cards.

If you like any of our resins, and want them coloured in any particular option shown above, just let us know which number you like the look of, and we'll colour that resin! As said before, it only costs an additional 20-40 pence to give them that extra bit of depth and reality with the colours, so why wait? Get them while they're hot as we say!

If you've enjoyed our products and would like your work shown on any of our pages, just in get in touch at sarah@craftallday.co.uk, or via our main Facebook page, our Resin Embellishment Shop Facebook page, Instagram page, and or our Twitter page and we'd love to share what you create!

Monday: Back to work, back to resin!

It's that dreaded day of the week again; the back to work day, the back to school day, and the general day we all dislike... Monday!

However, we're here to cheer you up with some new fantastic resin pieces we now have available on the website!

 

A beautiful bunch of flowers that you could paint in a variety of colours!

 

A classic corset, perfect for a woman's card!

 

A Hello Kitty figure, complete with body!

 

A Hello Kitty head! (Perfect for kids and big kids alike!)

So as you can see, with our ever expanding range of resins, there is so much you can do to add to your craft projects and give them more depth and content! We personally love these pieces as they allow you to paint them, glitter them up, stick them anywhere, and you could even attach a magnet and have it as a fridge magnet if you wanted!

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

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!

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.
