Price Update:
We have new paper designs starting to roll
in - but unfortunately we are unable to keep our $3.30
price tag on all the papers. We have kept our prices the
same for over the last 5 years, but as the cost price
goes up, this is turn has affected our sale prices. The
price of each item can be seen when you click on the small
image of the item, Ie to get to larger image and item
description.
The good news is that we will be reviewing
the prices on many of the 'older' designs and decreasing
their price permanantly!
New Papers:
We have found some lovely new suppliers
recently who are providing us with papers from Cavallini,
Tassotti + Rossi. If there are any designs that you have
seen and would like us to stock, please let us know.
Cavallini
Papers was founded in San Francisco in 1989. In their
words "Our goal is to create products that are both
beautiful and functional. Whether it is a 19th-century
botanical print or a well-loved piece of emphemera, we
pull from our vast archives for the perfect image."
Grafiche
Tassotti is a family company founded in 1957. These
beautiful Italian papers have been on our site for many
years but unfortunately the stocks have been running out
as our supplier stopped purchasing them. We will be able
to bring back many of the old favourites, as well as some
fantastic new designs.
Rossi papers are superbly printed on finest
quality papers of 90 gsm by special techniques similar
to hand lithography. This wide range of decorative papers
was inspired by traditional Florentine designs of the
Renaissance but also includes contemporary alternatives
with more modern subjects.
Naturally all these papers are excellent
for all your decoupaging needs, but they are also suitable
for many other innovative uses: bookbinding, scrapbooking,
card making, soap/chocolate wraps, trading cards, wrapping
presents and so on...
Here are some of the latest additions:
Here are a couple of other new papers that
have recently arrived - we love Stephen Mackey
designs! You may recognise the 'style' - the
designer also did FAI010, OOC021,
SEA018
+ SEA023
all which are very popular papers.
