Get a Sneak Peek ahead of the Sizzix's Shows - Guest Post from Katie Skilton

Hello there …

I am really excited for my upcoming Sizzix shows on Hochanda on the 9th September as I know you are going to love these dies as much as I do.

The whole show has a Tim Holtz theme with a selection of dies that are going to inspire you to create beautiful projects. As soon as I got these the inspiration and ideas just flowed.

Would you like a sneak peak?

We have several sets coming up which all compliment each other beautifully.

Let’s start with the Sizzix Thinlits Die Set Tropical by Tim Holtz.

It is a set of 8 dies that compliment each other beautifully. They can be used with inks, paints or patterned papers to create stunning projects.

I think my favorite die in the set is the palm tree which I know I will use time and time again.

They work for simple cards to the most detailed projects and are also great for home decor items.

The leaves in the set are perfect for complimenting your cards or adding a bit of green behind flowers.

Of course as with any dies you will want sentiments to compliment them and we have 3 sets of words for you to choose from.

Join me on Friday 9th September at 11am, 3pm and 6pm where I will be sharing more inspiration, projects and demonstrations.

See you then …

Katie

Meet the Presenter - Matt MacNamara

1. How did you first get introduced to crafts? I’ve always loved craft and had such great respect for anyone who makes and creates crafty items. At craft fairs it is always me that holds up everyone else in the group while I chat to the people on the stalls about what they have made. My wife Karen, or Mrs M, is very crafty too. She’s into the classic decoupage, upcycling old boxes and furniture. She also makes her own jewellery and I sometimes help her run the stalls at craft fairs.. 2. What have been your highlights so far on Hochanda? We have a very talented pool of guests, so there is always something so creative going on in the studio, so honestly, every day is highlight. I’ve also had the good fortune to have tried several crafts for the first time ever. It’s pleasantly surprising to discover that to be a good crafter you don’t necessarily have to be artistic, you just need to be imaginative and creative. We all have our own...

Barbara even jumped onto the phones to help with a customer query! That's the beauty of having our customer services and order line in house - and brilliant guests who are happy to have a natter to our callers. Barbara has also, generously, donated one of the pieces from the show, as a giveaway on todays blog post. Isn't it beautiful.
