Card Samples From Saturday's Hochanda Shows

Good evening, I hope everyone had a nice weekend. We wanted to do a quick blog post to thank everyone for making our three shows on Hochanda last Saturday such a big success. The feedback has been fantastic & we're delighted that you loved Sue's demos & had a great time buying some of the available products.

Here's Sue in the studio shortly before the first show...............


There wasn't much time to show many of the samples made for Saturday, so here are a few of them.....

(This was one of Sue's demos. The doodling was a big hit with viewers)












We hope to have dates for the next Hochanda shows soon & we will of course, let you know when they will be. 

We always love to see what you create with Imagination products, so please feel free to share your projects on our Facebook page & our new Facebook page, devoted to Starlight Metallic paints.

Until next time, have a great week & happy crafting.

Kirsten

Imagination Crafts at the Hobbycrafts Christmas Show, NEC Birmingham

Good morning, sorry the blog has been quiet recently, there's a lot been happening behind the scenes; new products being tested, TV shows being planned, samples being made..... We hope to be able to share more information with you all soon. 

In the meantime, we're at the NEC in Birmingham for the Stitching, Sewing & HobbyCrafts Christmas show, from tomorrow, November 5 to Sunday, November 8. You will find us on stand A16.

Very excitingly, we're going to have not one, not two, but THREE demonstrators, working the entire four days of the show, although,  Harvey might allow them the occasional break. :-) There will be Sue of course & alongside her will be Lisa B of Lisa B Designs & Jean of BJ Crafts. They will be demoing different Imagination Crafts products, from Starlights to Sparkle Medium to stencils & paints & stamps, etc., etc.


There will be lots of new products, including these fab stands & tree decorations. They're MDF, light but very sturdy & you can decorate them however you like.


All of the samples in this blog post were made by Lisa B, using Starlights paints & the Floral Collage stamp range she designed for Imagination Crafts. They will be on the stand at the NEC, so you can see how gorgeous the Starlights paints look.


 



For this wall plaque, Lisa die cut a circle out of a sheet of the Moroccan Trellis Art-Cutz. Very effective...........


Two non-Christmas cards, made with Starlights & the Poppy Elements stamp set & the Clematis Elements stamp set from the Floral Collage collection...........


Many thanks to Lisa for making these gorgeous samples.



We're certainly looking forward to the next four days & to seeing lots of you. It's a perfect opportunity for you to ask us questions about techniques & find inspiration for your projects.And maybe treat yourself to an early Christmas gift or two.........

For those of you not able to attend, we will do our best to share photos from the stand on the Imagination Crafts Facebook page.

That's it for now. Enjoy the rest of your week & happy crafting.

Freeview 39, Sky 663, Freesat 822 & live on www.hochanda.com

Well, it's finally here. Imagination Crafts makes its debut on the new craft channel, Hochanda. It's been a crazy few weeks of demo planning, making of samples, sorting & packing of stock & now there's little more that can be done. Sue & Harvey will be in the studio this morning doing the final preparations; making sure that all the samples are displayed to their best & that everything is ready to go at 1pm. Sue will have her demos practiced to the nth degree, with all her step by steps present & correct.



Over the last four days, we've shown you sneak peeks of lots of the projects made by our designers, both here & on the Imagination Crafts' Facebook page. In the coming days, the projects in their entirety will be added to the 
Imagination Crafts' Pinterest boards, so if you can't see them properly on your TV/computer screen during the shows, don't worry.


Thank you for all the positive comments & best wishes regarding this big step for our business. We are very excited & a little nervous, but sometimes you've got to take a chance. 

We really hope you'll be able to tune in at 1pm & 5pm today. There will be a live commentary on the Imagination Crafts' Facebook page too. 

Thanks for visiting the blog & have a great Thursday.
