A gingham rainbow

 We've got a brand new selection of Gingham fabric in the shop - it comes in 16 colours (yay!) it's a lovely wide cut (140cm) it's £2.75 a fat quarter, £5.30 a half metre and £10 a metre AND it can be turned into felt fabric, if you so wish :-)

SO that's Good Gingham-y news all round :-)

Two in a row!

Are you liking how I disappeared from the blog for a while and just came back like nothing happened??  I'm pretty sure most of my blog readers see us on facebook too so you know all our day to day news - but I miss blogging, so I am BACK!...and I've been back 2 days in a row!!

 The bags in the photos?  They are new :-)  They come in packs of 5 for £3.75 (a bargain, right?)
 and you can choose hearts or dots

The bags are here:  http://www.paper-and-string.net/#!stationery/joh7l
and me?  I'll be HERE, in blog land,  More.  :-)

I LOVE a smiley face , even more so when....

....it's on cute cactus fabric!

 Isn't it amazing???

I got it in all four colours (white, grey, pink & blue) because it's my favourite fabric EVER!!

The cute cacti are small scale so this will work beautifully as felt fabric....just imagine all the things you can make :-)
£3.25 a fat quarter or £11 a metre  (and it's wider than normal...145cm)

Good bye Loyalty Card, Hello Free Gifts

Waaaaaay back at the beginning of the year I asked you, and our facebook followers, for ideas to replace our Loyalty Card ... there were tonnes of suggestions and recommendations and it was very (very) clear that you liked receiving our free kits (hooray!) :-)

We replaced our loyalty card yesterday when we launched the new website and we have kept the free kit, but have done away with the (really very) time consuming stickers and cards and, even though I'm sure some of you will miss the stickers, I hope you will enjoy our new, free craft packs - you don't need to do anything to claim a free craft pack, just shop as normal and everytime you spend £25 you'll get a free craft pack in your parcel (one pack for every £25...so if you spend £50 you get two packs...£75, three packs...)  

I know some of you shop small & often and will miss the opportunity to build up to a free gift, but these packs are better than the old ones, so you may get fewer of them, but they are better :-)

Our free craft packs are all different but you'll get an idea from the photos - everything inside is sample sized so you get more variety, and I only include things we sell in our shop - so you know all the items are good quality crafty supplies that I would use myself.

Our old loyalty card ran for 6 years (wow!) and your sticker collecting isn't wasted - you can 'cash in' your existing stickers on the new website and convert your stickers to money off your next order - I've set up a form on there to make it super easy :-)

I have finished!

I Have FINISHED !!!!!
the *new* website has been published and is ready for you to have a browse...there are 3122 products,345 product 'collections' and around 400 links...I'm pretty sure I've proof-read and click tested it all but if you spot something please let me know (be kind, I'm exhausted!)
THERE'S A VERY IMPORTANT UPDATE to our Loyalty Card (full details on the *new* website) the old scheme has finished and there's a NEW (better) scheme in place (and you can 'cash in' your old cards)
ALSO - I have boxes & boxes of new stock to add so I may be bombarding you with that quite soon :-)
I hope you like it? www.paper-and-string.net

Website moving

 

The old website is temporarily closed whilst we switch everything over to the new one (do you like how I make that sound super easy?!)....if you click through to the website and see the grey & mustard picture then things have happened and we're nearly ready, if you can still see the black & white message then we're still waiting patiently ... watch this space ;-)

Mums

Happy Mother's Day Mum :-)
I love you xxx
