All about parchment!

Hello everyone. I hope you’re well indeed and that you enjoyed great time on Groovi Tuesday with Linda Williams. Hundreds of you tuned in to watch and chat with Linda and Paul and we’re so exited it came off without a hitch, this time. Which is really good news because Linda is keen to go live next week, also! That’s right, Linda enjoyed herself so much, she can’t wait to see you all again, and we’re delighted to hvae her with us, that’s for sure!

Well, it’s the Tuesday blog which means a little run down of the week’s events and happenings! And because it’s imminent, let’s start with TV. We’ve got a One Day Special for you beginning tomorrow on The Craft Store. Paul Church is bringing you a whole new set of Lace Grid Duets named after our noble princes. You can read more details about the show and Plates over on the website, just click the banner below, but you can get a flavour by scrolling down and enjoying the regal beauty of our Design Team’s efforts. Inspiring, no? If these images don’t make you want to have a go yourself, I don’t know what will!

Already for sale, but also part of the One Day Special, is our brand new Plate Mate for A4 square Grids. Grid Plate Mates are super handy, and not only are they functional for holding Grids in place and keeping them steady, they are brilliant design products themselves. This amazing new Grid Mate is also extendable and features ‘extenders’ for making it large enough to house a full A4 Grid or Plate. If you don’t know much about what Plate Mates are for, then be sure to tune in to Paul’s ODS as he’ll be showing you how to get to grips with them!

We’ve also got our Offer of the Week this week, which is Designer Parchment. Designer Parchment is one of our favourite inventions! We love how it instantly adds so much detail, colour and vibrancy to your parchment projects and embossing and white work stands out just as well in Designer Parchment as it does on plain parchment. Not only for parching, by the way, you can stamp on it and use it in a wide variety of ways. Plus, part of what makes it super cool is that it works perfectly with the Designer Paper equivalent. Designer Parchment is the reverse of Designer Paper, so when you emboss on the back and turn your design over, you can lay it on top of the Designer Paper and the pattern matches precisely. Anyway, just take a look at these little snaps below. The artwork is stunning and majorly inspiring.
