Mother's Day - 13/5/2018

27/4/2018

G'day all,

Mother's Day is fast approaching, in May. Now is a good time to think about how you can let your mum know that you appreciate her.

At Inkyfingers and our Etsy shop, we have a great range of handmade items and craft supplies that could be just what you are after to meet your, or your mum's crafting needs. We have papers, stamps, inks, paints, dies and plenty of other accessories.

If you are thinking about a special card, check out the "Box Cards" and "Cards" sections of the site if you are looking for ideas. Use the "Contact Us" form if you would like us to make a card especially for your mum.

To help get ideas for Mother's Day, here are two amazing cards made by Di. Visit her Blog Page for more detail.

Along with the cards, Di has compiled a video that shows the cards being made with detailed commentary so you can see the techniques used and it may give you some inspiration.

To see more of Di's amazing videos, visit her YouTube channel at: www.youtube.com/user/inkyfingy.

That's all for now. Hope you find that special gift so you can let your mum know just how much she means to you. :)

All the best,
Chris

ANZAC Day

25/4/2018

0 Comments

G'day all.

Today, 25th of April, is ANZAC day here in AUS and NZ. It's basically a day were we remember the soldiers who set ashore on the beaches at ANZAC Cove in Gallipoli, Turkey and also to the incredible women who helped heal and care for the wounded as they were brought back to the hospital ships. The horrors they all would have endured would be almost unthinkable.

Over on Di's blog, she has done a fantastic blog about an ANZAC Day Video/Blog hop with other amazing Aussie/NZ crafters where they show there skills and make some great cards and other tributes in remembrance and friendship. Also in the Blog, you will also find many great images of other cards that use the Poppy flower (synonymous with ANZAC Day) and the tools used.

So head over to Di's Blog page and enjoy a great read and watch some amazing videos that have been made as part of the Video/Blog Hop.

P.S. While checking out the blog, you may come across a link to a recipe for ANZAC biscuits! :)

New paper from Paper-Arts NZ

21/11/2017

1 Comment

G'day all,

I was recently contacted by the people from Paper-Arts.co.nz asking if we would like to become a stockist for their paper products. They were kind enough to send us a sample of the paper and, to say the least, we were very impressed.

The colours and tactile qualities of the papers are brilliant. The paper is in 12" x 12" (30.5cm x 30.5cm) squares and it is 200gsm. All the pages are double-sided and they are printed in New Zealand and on archival quality 100% recycled paper.

We have put the paper through a few basic stress tests including cutting with different tools and dies, scoring with the score board, aggressive finger pressing, firm creasing with a bone folder, edging with various inks and markers, punching and chomping...this paper passed all these tests with flying colours.

We are in the process of ordering in some of these amazing papers so keep an eye out on the shop to know when they become available. We will also mention it on Facebook and Twitter so don't forget to follow us on either (or both) to keep up with the latest news. We are also on Instagram where we post images of products and other crafty works. :)

All the best,
Chris
