NEW DESIGN TEAM MEMBER

We are really pleased to announce that Kay Carley has agreed to be part of our Design Team.  Kay has been a wonderful support to us right from the start, by being our first demonstrator when Ian and I took over.  She puts up with all my mistakes with great humour and there have been several!  We have always thought of Kay as an integral part of the team here and we really missed her when she wasn’t able to be with us for one of our extravaganzas due to some health problems.  Including her as part of our DT is our way of acknowledging how much we appreciate her ongoing association with The Craft Barn.  Kay has just released theifrst in a series of three DVD’s through the Publishers of Craft Stamper, click here for more info.

DESIGN A STAMP COMPETITION

Have you ever wanted to get into stamp designing and demoing and wondered how to go about it?   Then this is the competition for you!  We are looking for a new stamp designer to complement our team.  We ran a similar competition when we first opened and were lucky enough to find Sandra Dry and Christine Dark.  This time we are looking for someone with a completely different style to complement our team, so if you think your ideas are a bit different and would work as rubber stamps get drawing!

The winner will have their designs made up into rubber stamps and receive commission based on sales.  The winner will also get the chance to demo them at our next mini-fest in March 2010 for which we will pay our standard demo rate plus expenses.  This could be the start of regular demo appearances and design work for us but realistically you will need to have a basic understanding of English if you want to demo on an ongoing basis.

RULES

The  competition is open to residents of the UK and EU.

The closing date for entries is 5th December. 

Your entry must be your own original idea and work, not have been submitted to any other company or competition.  Please don’t copy other peoples’ designs and ideas or use “clip art” as this is a breach of copyright. 

Initially we will accept either original artwork or high res jpeg images as entries but if shortlisted we will need to see your original artwork. 

Entries can be submitted by post to : The Craft Barn Ltd, 9 East Grinstead Road, Lingfield, Surrey, RH7 6EP  please include an SAE if you want your designs returned to you.  Alternatively you can enter by email to : sandy@thecraftbarn.com 

Please mark your entries “DESIGN A STAMP COMPETITION”

Good luck!

New Katzelkraft stamps!

hello,

Now the Extravanganza is over and I’m back to (close to) normal, I’m going to try to update this blog more often than I have done lately.

As you probably know, Beatrice from Katzelkraft was over once again to demo her fantastic new techniques along with her new stamps. You can now find those online (click here) but here’s a few pictures for you.

The new stamps include:

The Carnaval Venise plate

The Tales and Wonders plate

The Wonderland Christmas plate

and finally my own designs in English this time

Although the Venise one is already out of stock, more are on their way, so you can order them now, and we will send your order as soon as we get the stamps back in stock.
