Hi There! We’ve just added some new stamps - Three romantic teddy stamps, a set of scalloped greetings, a set of signature seals and a heart flourishes collection of rubber stamps are now available. These stamps are especially handy for Valentine and Mother’s Day but are equally useful all year round for Birthdays.
Keep Creating!
Hugs n Smiles,

Hi Ho Everyone!
We’ve added a few new bits to the shop so I thought it would be good to let you have a summary of ‘What’s New’.
First up is our brand new Cuddly Buddly Seriously Fun Metal Dies range. We’ve started with six dies - a teddy, a boy and a girl main characters and a cat, dog, bunny, hats and party pieces add-on type dies. Our thin metal dies have been designed to offer you a wide range of paper piecing options from a single die. Use the dies to cut the cute characters, their clothing and accessories and then decide on the pose that’s right for you and piece them together with the help of a glue pen. All of our dies are drawn in proportion to each other and can be mixed and matched to create endless poses for your card making and scrapbooking projects. The dies are compatible with most die cutting machines and further details are available in the product descriptions on site. I’ve also popped four free fleshtones papers in the Freebies Papers section on the site in case you need something printable to get you started.
Next up … New in the Shop … New Prima Flowers, New Colours of Stickles, Ranger UTEE and Dye Ink Re-Inkers. To yet be added are some fabulous Tim Holtz tools.
Also in the shop we’ve added a whole new aisle for you to explore ‘When It’s Gone It’s Gone!’ Towards the end of our recent 20% Off Sale we received notification that Dovecraft were discontinuing some of their products so we decided to follow suit and offer you some massive savings on many Dovecraft products and for good measure we’ve thrown in a few DoCraft products too that we personally won’t be re-stocking.
The Bind-It-All machine, tote bag and tool kit also have a new lower price of £39.99 and £19.99 respectively.
Finally … New projects by our Fabulosly Crafty Friends, Edna, Gail and Sonia have been added to Gallery 1.
I think that’s the lot for now. I’m about to immerse myself in new design work for the next season’s stamps, dies and digital products so if you have a special request for anything in particular that you’d like to see please drop me a quick note through the ‘Sig Tags’ option on our Contact page and I’ll try and grant your wish!
Keep Creating!
Hugs n Smiles,

Wowee - what truly Fabulously Crafty Friends we are blessed to have here at Cuddly Buddly Crafts. I received piccies of this charming concertina tag card that Edna has made and loved her project immediately … what a delightful way to pass on the main events of the true Christmas story from one generation to another.

Edna has used a variety of our stamps, coloured the images and attached them to her base card. She’s created the scripture tags on her computer and then printed them out and hand finished them with coloured card, eyelets and narrow ribbons and tucked them neatly into their little pockets. If you would like to know more about how Edna has created her card please join us on our friendly forum where I’m sure she’ll be only too happy to share with you the ‘how to’s’ of how it was done!
More projects by Edna and our other Fabulously Crafty Friends Gail and Sonia can be seen in our Gallery.
We are blessed here at Cuddly Buddly Crafts to have the most Fabulously Crafty Friends and this morning as I opened my email I was in for such a visual treat that I felt we should shine the Spotlight On Gail and share with you all the exquisite concertina Christmas Card that she created for her Grandson. Gail has used a selection of our rubber stamps and a paper from our ‘Let it Snow Papers’ downloads to produce this frosty winter scene.

Oh yay - it’s digi time! Susi and I are delighted to let you know that we’ve been working on 3D Decoupage, Printables and Papers collections for you and have now added nine new downloadable products to the shop.
Make a start on your Christmas cards, gift bags, boxes and envelopes with our new 3D Decoupage and companion Printable collections. We’ve got two fun themes for you to choose between - Penguin Playtime with two little penguins sledding down a snowy hillside, one taking to a sledge and the other to his tummy, and Christmas Nativity with the little Giggles Gang Kids proudly posed around baby Jesus in the manger.
For stocking fillers and little thank you gifts, Susi’s been busy and has put together two more of her highly popular CD Calendar projects - Girl Power and Fur Babies.
To compliment our ‘frame and greetings’ rubber stamps which we released a few weeks ago Kim has created three new bumper Paper Collections - Immanuel with stars, Let it Snow with snowflakes and Merry Christmas with holly. Each collection contains an assortment of sixteen 8×8 papers in two gentle mid tone colour palettes with text, stripes and geometric type designs. Add drama to the papers by toning them with darker shades of card, ribbons and brads or go for a whispy look by teaming them up with pastel accessories. Maybe add a touch of sparkle to some of the striped papers too - apply double sided tape along selected lines and sprinkle with glitter or Glamour Dust … just give your inks time to thoroughly dry after coming out of the printer!
Sixteen new ‘Santa’s Workshop’ rubber stamps have been added. The stamps work well on their own or can be used together to create fun little scenes for your greetings cards and scrapbooking pages … for example, Robbie and Emmy Elves pushing can be used with the Toy Train and Dolly’s Pram stamps … while the Toy Train and Dolly’s Pram stamps could also be coloured in pastel shades and work independently on New Baby projects. Little Santa looks quite comfortable stood in front of the Fireplace or Christmas Tree and Mrs Santa could dress in her everyday colours and bring out the tea tray throughout the year!
We’ve also added a few new bits to the shop … Adirondack Pigment Ink Pads, Ranger Ultra Thick Embossing Powders, Sakura Ultra Fine metallic pens, the new Bind-It-All Covers, Closures and Owires and a few more of the pretty Starform Transparent Glitter Peel Offs.
The first thirty six of our cute new Christmas/Winter rubber stamps have been added to the shop - teddies, little garden critters and the Giggles Gang kiddies. More Christmas stamps are still on the drawing board and we hope to be ready to release these in the next two - three weeks.
Two downloadable abstract Winter Papers Collections Winter Warm in reds and greens and Winter Frost in blues and lilacs have also been added to the shop.
We’ve been busy behind the scenes adding hundreds of new craft products to the shop! We’ve got new Christmas stencils from Nellie’s Choice, new gems, ribbons, alphabet brads and other goodies from the fantastic Craft Work value for money range. Plus we’ve added more Making Memories tools including the Grommet Tool Kit, Tag Curling Tool and the Tag Maker Tool - all wonderful tools for added luxurious finishing touches to your craft projects. Ooooh and some fabulous Writer paints from DecoArt which come with two nozzles for thin and medium paint flow!
