Anna Griffin Cuttlebug cutting & embossing dies now in stock at Foil Play

I just love these ornate dies from Anna Griffin! I used the huge Anna Griffin Flourish Emblem die for the Kanban Cavendish Ladies card above, and also as part of a Halloween project, below. For both projects, I have cut the die cut in half, so that the intricate detail isn't hidden away. The project above is an 8 x 8 inch card and the one below is A5, so you can see what a great size this die is.

I used two die cuts from the Anna Griffin Flourish Scroll die for another page in the Halloween project, made from black self adhesive vinyl, a similar material to peel off stickers. The vinyl wasn't actually wide enough to cut the whole of the larger die, but that didn't matter for this project, I just cut the two halves separately.

I've managed to get a limited amount of the Anna Griffin Flourish, Floral and Snowflake cutting dies in stock at Foil Play, why not treat yourself to an early Christmas gift? For more inspiration on how to use these dies to create stunning projects, check out Anna Griffin's Pinterest page.

Foil Play Friends Facebook Group and November Challenge

I've created a new Facebook group so that crafty friends of the Foil Play craft website can share inspiration, hints and tips in a more interactive way than the Facebook page allows.

I'd love it if you would post pictures of your creations featuring products / brands available at Foil Play, and when you do, feel free to link to your blog.

I also plan to run monthly prize challenges, and the November challenge has just started. The theme is Winter Celebrations and the prize is £15 to spend on whatever you like at Foil Play. For more details and to enter, check out the Foil Play Friends Facebook Group.

Male themed cards from the Kanban So Macho Collection - Football Fan

These cards are all made from the same Kanban die cut & foiled topper sheet - Football Fan from the So Macho collection (sheet code 900817).
I rounded the corners of each topper with a corner chomper & matted each onto silver mirri card. The backing papers used are from the Dovecraft Masculine papers collection.
The first two cards are 8 x 8, the other two are A5.
Although sadly, Kanban ceased trading earlier this year, Foil Play still has a huge selection of versatile Kanban toppers and card available in stock, with free p&p on orders over £10.

Website back on line

The Foil Play web site is back now on a brand new server, thanks to my webmaster, who has pulled out all the stops to get it up and running again.  

Everything is back to normal now, including the automatic order received / despatched emails.

I do apologise again for any inconvenience the downtime has caused.

Website outage

My apologies that the Foil Play website is currently unavailable - it seems that there is a hardware failure on the server, which could (hopefully worst case scenario) take until Monday to fix. 

All orders received up until today have been despatched, even if you haven't had a despatch email - I wasn't able to send them for all orders, due to the site going down this afternoon. 

If you need to email me in the meantime, please use my alternative email, sales@winspiration.co.uk. 

I will post updates when I know more and when the site is back up, I'm very sorry for the inconvenience in the meantime!

Update Saturday am: The old server had failed, a new one is in place and we are working to rebuild the site, which will take a day or so.  

Update Saturday pm: Site is back on line on the new server now, see my separate post. Hooray!

Hunkydory 3 for 2 Christmas kits

 The Hunkydory 3 for 2 Collection of Christmas card kits is now in stock at Foil Play!
Hunkydory 3 for 2 Collection of Christmas card kits 
Instead of offering them on a 3 for 2 basis, I'm discounting the price of each individual kit to £8.99, so even if you only want one or two of them, you can still benefit from a discount of £3.00 from the RRP of £11.99.
Hunkydory 3 for 2 Collection of Christmas card kits 
You can choose from three options: 
Each kit makes 8 cards, and each includes an illustrated instructions and inspiration sheet.
