Hello everyone

I have been seriously neglecting my blog, children and kittens and summer holidays aren't really helpful when it comes to work!! Just wanted to let you all know that our Christmas template is nearly ready and we will be releasing it shortly. Because we like you to get value for money we have added a couple of extra bits so that the template can be used for other occasions too!!!

Hope you are all having a good summer even if it is a soggy one.

New Templates Added to the Website

2011-01-24T07:14:00.000-08:00

We have now added two new templates to our website, the first is for Weddings although the lattice archway looks great as a frame for any decoupage or parchment craft so can be used for other occassions, and the second is a Bay Window which is great for any occassion.

Hope everyone is well and that 2011 has started well.

Hello Everyone

Hope you are staying safe in this weather.

I have been making some promise boxes for family member's whose presents haven't been delivered, so that they have something to open. I am happy to share the template with anyone who needs it. There is a picture here (not a good one I am afraid as I am working from home), if you would like the template emailed to you please email me at mail@cutandcraft.co.uk.

Happy Christmas Everyone.

Junior Competition

2010-07-16T01:47:00.000-07:00

Hi Everyone

Hope you are all having better weather than we are down here in Devon.

You may or may not know that the National Cardmaker of the Year Competion has been launched. My 8 year old daughter was not impressed that they still don't have a junior section so, as I am so passionate about getting kids crafting, we are going to run our own junior cardmaker competition with a lovely set of crafting goodies as the prize.

Entrants must be 14 years or younger, cards can be any shape and size and have any theme. They do not need to use our templates so please dont go to the expense of buying a template. Entries should be sent to us here at Cut and Craft by 31st August, with the child's name, age and address. We cannot return any cards without an SAE but all cards will be passed onto a good cause.

Following on from our popular summer holiday freebies we hope to send out some more kids projects via download over the summer, but with a 10 week old milk monster to look after I cannot guarantee that there will be one every week!!!!!

I hope you all have a lovely summer.

Nicky

Freebie for the Easter Holidays

2010-04-03T14:44:00.000-07:00

Hi Everyone

We are busy working away at bringing out a new range of 2d and shaped card templates. To give you a little taster we are giving the first one away free for you to try out. My 8 year old daughter is obsessed with making these and it has taken up many a rainy afteroon so you may want to get the little ones involved.

This would make a great wedding dress, prom dress or just an elegant dress for a female recipient. These cards are quick and easy to do and great fun.

I hope everyone is having a great Easter despite the weather. This template has been emailed to all the customers on our mailing list, if you haven't received your copy send us a quick email and we will email it to you.

Happy Easter

Snow Bound - Home-made embellishments

2010-01-10T05:47:00.000-08:00

Hello Everyone

To try to prevent cabin fever setting in I decided I would get a head start on my Mum's Mother's Day Card. I was going to make a little tea rooms from our free template but realised that I had no miniature cakes and no chance of getting to the shops. After many failed ideas I raided my husband's tool cupboard and found some polyfilla, next I had to find some molds - I realised after filling every available pot and container that the best thing to use was old blister packs from tablets, strepsil packs are great as they are a decent size. I cleaned them out and ran the rounded end of a pen lid around them to get rid of all the dents and filled them with some polyfilla. Then the fun bit once they had dried, a bit of paint, followed by liquid pearls and few tiny gems to finish off. They aren't works of art but should look ok inside the shop window.

New Year Giveaway

2009-12-31T08:11:00.000-08:00

Dear All

I hope you all had a great Christmas and we would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a peaceful and Happy New Year. Our web designer is away for the holidays so I have put some pictures on here of our free giveaway - they will be added to the website on his return. This is a great template and the possibilities are endless, the email containing the free download will be going out very shortly so keep an eye on your inbox.

Happy New Year everyone and thank you for your valued custom and wonderful emails that we have received throughout the last year.

Best wishes
Nicky and everyone at Cut and Craft

Apologies for non activity on the blog

Hi everyone, I had lots of plans for the blog but I got a bit sidetracked. I am 20 weeks pregnant at the moment and was getting more and more nervous about my 20 week scan and I just couldn't settle to anything. Anyway without boring you I had my scan today and all is fine and I am having a little boy which is great as I already have a little girl. I think I feel a competition coming on to suggest a good idea for a Baby template to celebrate - I don't want to make prams as there are so many out there already.

We are just about to finalise the New Year Giveaway and if I do say so myself I think this is going to be great - you really can use it for everything and it is a great blank canvas for embellishments.

Best wishes to you all and I hope your preparations for Christmas are coming along well.

Desperate to tell everyone

2009-11-24T05:00:00.000-08:00

The Magazine has gone on sale today so finally I can tell you all. I was lucky enough to win two prizes in the National Cardmaker of the Year Competition 2009.

Both of the cards, which were made especially for the competition will be available as templates, the Window Template which came third in the Lawrence Llewlyn Bowen Category is available at our website www.cutandcraft.co.uk and the house I designed for the Papermania Category, which won first prize, will be available shortly.

I have never won any competitions before so I was absolutely thrilled.

Here is my card that came in third place
