Hi guys!
If you've read our 'First Letter to Kelly' post then you'd have discovered that we are making a YouTube channel! YouTube will, from now on, be our main setting in which to share things with you, however, because we really enjoy writing these posts, we decided that for every video, we will write a corresponding blog post here. So, there is a YouTube video of this haul over on our channel, so please check that out too by clicking here!
Anyway, let's jump right into this.
We went to The Range a little while ago, and were expecting to find a few cool craft supplies, however, what we found was amazing - aisles and aisles of craft stuff ranging from Winsor & Newton inks, pencils and pens, to dies, stickers and much much more. As you might imagine, we managed to find a lot of brilliant stuff and we wanted to show you!
I haven't used this die brush yet, but, because I have some dies that are pretty intricate I thought it would be really useful for getting all the cut-out pieces out of the centre, without ripping the paper/card.
I then picked up these dies which I'm excited to try out. As you can see, there is a flower watering can, a cute star and a sweet bird with pretty heart patterns in the centre.
This 10cm x 10cm Lost Forest paper pad was just £1! There are 100 sheets with 20 designs throughout, and the paper is pretty good quality too! Check out the video to see a little flip through.
Next, some punches! Every time I go to Hobbycraft, I always look at the 2 in 1 corner punch and deliberate getting it but never do - until I found it for a pound cheaper in The Range! I'm looking forward to trying it out for happy mail.
As you can see, I also bought a cut & emboss punch, also from Xcut, and I have tried this! It's really very good, and the embossing adds a nice touch.
I already had some rubber alpha stamps, however, they were pretty big (I used them on Kelly's mail, so check that post if you want to see the bigger ones in action), so I decided to purchase some smaller ones.
This crafty goody bag was a super find! It comes with embellishments, die cut book and a 12 x 12 paper pack for only £15 which is super amazing - I think this is how they get rid of their summer craft supplies when the autumn/winter stock starts to come in. I'm hoping they do a similar thing for the autumn/winter craft supplies!
I then found this really pretty vellum design pad and the complete flip through is on our video!
I found the above pack of botanical/nature-themed washi tapes for around £4 and I haven't used them yet but, when I took them out of the packaging, I was pleased to find that they feel like good quality tape.
Last, but by no means least, I picked up these Winsor & Newton watercolour pencils. Again, I haven't tried them out but I'm really excited to because I'm going to start experimenting with watercolours soon. I'm super new to the whole painting thing (but mum isn't, so she is helping me)!
Thank you for reading along with us and I hope you watch the corresponding YouTube video where you get a more in-depth look at all the bits and pieces listed here!

This DIY colouring cards pack has 6 designs, and I'm going to be colouring them and then sending them to penpals. You can see the other designs on the video if you like, but basically, in addition to the obvious owls shown here, there is a giraffe, butterfly and a couple of varying floral/botanical patterns.
We also found these gorgeous clear stamps. I absolutely love the alpha ones! The pack you can't really see here is the butterfly one (which you could probably tell, but I thought I'd clarify, haha).

This pretty butterfly tray was also only £1. I bought it because I wanted to be able to keep all the embellishments and sticker sheets in one place when I'm working on a project, so I can move them around as and I when I need or want to.

Choosing the right bathroom furniture can be tricky. There's such a huge range of choices that you may not be sure where to start. The best way to narrow your search is to look at the materials and styles you already have in your bathroom. If you already have tiles, choose a tiled floor and a groutless floor. A wooden floor will be warmer to the touch than a tiled floor. And don't forget to choose a set that suits your style and budget. Get More Information Bathroom Furniture UK
