Hi there

Just about to head out the door to Clarity Towers, to launch a new and exciting range of stamps, designed by the very creative and clever Nicola Elliot. She calls her brand Stamptagious, and we are happy to announce our partnership with her now.

The thing is, we have always made for her. So you may well be familiar with her quirky, very mixed media style. When Hochanda / The Craft Store / Create & Craft let us all down, Nicola also got caught in the crossfire. It hit a lot of little companies hard, us included. SO. We have circled the wagons, and are not only making for her, but also marketing for her too.

We officially cut the ribbon on her brand shop on our website at 8am this morning. We are starting small, and have decided to build the collection carefully, and slowly. Little and often. I spent the day yesterday, prepping demos for the 10am and 2pm shows. I called on my friend, Sam Crowe, to get involved on the sample making front too, and I am going to have fun de-constructing some of her work, and rebuilding it again!

I hope you can join me. The designs are very different, and actually REALLY EXCELLENT! I hadn’t used them before, because, as I say, we were just white labelling for Nicola. But they really are so fun! I was still going at 7pm last night! Got the teabags out too….

But I won’t give it all away here. Must dash, and get the set ready for 10am. I am actually a bit nervous about this one. I guess it’s because it’s somebody else that I am representing, not my own art.

See you there!

Love always
