Welcome to the world of steampunk - the ever-popular style where sci-fi meets Victorian mechanics, travel and fashion. I have been transforming the latest collection from Stamperia - Voyages Fantastiques into an album and I have to say these papers really are... fantastiques!

Here is the first kit to launch from the collection: Voyages Fantastiques Wide Folio Album Kit:

I am sure you will be captivated by the subtle, vintage colours and the delicate illustrations of Victorian-themed characters, Penny Farthings, clocks, hot-air balloons and so much more. The Wide Folio Album is perfect for your favourite pictures and other ephemera - great for anyone that likes to travel.

I really like the attention to detail on the steam engine, balloons and Lady and Gents hats.  These really are lovely papers to work with and I'm sure you'll be as inspired as I've been to create something to treasure.

I hope you like this detailed and carefully-designed album. The kit has all you need to make the album including a step-by-step video guide for the album assembly and detailed written instructions on how to decorate it. Click here to see more and please remember that these papers are in limited stock.

Pinch, punch it's the first of the month! Can you believe we're a whole month into 2019?  Snow has fallen across the UK this week, and as it's really chilly outside I thought I'd stay in, keep cozy warm in the craft room and get creative on a couple of new projects.  Before their launch, I thought I'd let you know that our uber-popular Planner Kits are now back in stock over on the website. Thanks to everyone who's asked about them over the past few months.

With New Year resolutions still on our minds, using a planner is a great way to keep focussed, plan your week, and help to stay on track to achieve those goals.

The 52-sheet planner pad and the long note pad included in the kit are perfect for keeping track of kids' activities, diet planning, shopping lists, to-do lists or action plans. It's ideal whether you run your own business or you're a busy mum or dad that needs to keep things noted and tidy.

Use your favourite papers from your stash to decorate your planner by following the PDF Tutorial that comes with the kit.  It takes approximately four sheets of 12 x 12 paper (depending on the pattern direction) to decorate the planner plus any additional embellishments you may want to add.

The Complete Planner kit includes the following: 

• One x Covers and Spine set
• One x Planner Pad (52 pages)
• One x Long Note Pad (may vary from pictured pad)
• One x Pen
• One x Sticky Notes pad 
• One x Sticky Notes holder
• 6 x craft magnets
• 1 x Black Construction Tape x 5m
• PDF Tutorial (digital download) 

There's also a Planner Accessory Kit available to refill your planner and a pre-cut Planner Cover and Spine Set if you fancy free-styling and making up your own project.  

Planner Dimensions: H: 10 1/4" W: 8 1/4" D: 1" 

Well, it's back to projects for me, so thanks for calling by, have a lovely weekend, keep warm and look forward to sharing more inspiration, projects and kits with you soon. :-) Clare
