Jolly Nation Christmas die cut decoupage

More Christmas goodies are in store at Foil Play, with 12 new Jolly Nation (formerly Paper Nation) Christmas A5 die cut decoupage sheets.

Each sheet contains two numbered projects and no scissors are needed, all you have to do is pop out the pieces and layer them up with foam pads or silicone adhesive to create eye catching 3D toppers for your card and craft projects.

If you wish, you can of course also co-ordinate the made up toppers with the matching backing sheets, available in both coloured and white versions for most characters.

As with all other papers from the Crafthouse Press, the sheets are acid and lignin free, so can also be used for scrapbooking as well as card making.

Jolly Nation - the new name for Paper Nation

The Crafthouse Press has announced this week that during 2008 it will be gradually phasing out the 'Paper Nation' logo and re-naming the range to 'Jolly Nation'. The reason is that the popular range has hugely expanded, with characters now featuring on new products including rubber stamps, cross stitch kits (from Coats Crafts), books and bone china mugs (from Hudson & Middleton).

A range of 24 completely new decoupage characters was premiered last week on QVC. All are available to purchase now at Foil Play (with co-ordinating background papers), ahead of the general release of these sheets on 18 February.

The new characters are:

• Pets - Spaniel and Yorkshire Terrier, Pedigree cats, and German Shepherd West Highland Terrier and Old English Sheepdog;
• Girls - Little Pussycat Girl, Little Sunflower Girl, Nurse Girl, Princess Girl and Rabbit Girl;
• Boys - Dinosaur Boy, Knight Boy, Little messy boy, Little Pedal Car Boy and Pirate Boy;
• Couples - Ballrooom dancers (pictured above), Caravan Couple, Hikers, walkers and Sports Car Couple;
• Ladies - Perfect Housewife, Luxury Bath Woman and Business Woman; and
• Men - Businessman, Computer Man, Firefighter, Fireman and TV Remote Man.

Paper Nation - new Kimono lady decoupage sheets

Paper Nation has produced the popular kimono lady special edition decoupage sheets in two new colourways, yellow and green (in addition to the pink and blue designs already available). There are also two new co-ordinating backing sheets on white, patterned with a selection of oriental objects.
