New things to come .....

Jane & myself ventured to Adelaide last Tuesday to check out the new products one of our major suppliers will have available over the next few months. It's very exciting to see what is coming for us to play & create with.

Printed canvas flowers. How cool & such lovely soft colours.
This is some beautiful ribbon roses and folded velour that will look so elegant on cards & pages.
Prima have a wonderful selection of flowers again that will be released soon. This is just a tiny look at some of them.

Donna Downey's iron on's are a must !!! I can't wait to be able to get my hands on these. They will look great on aprons, t-shirts, jumpers, canvases & layouts. The possibilities are endless. Below are a two designs but there are many more for sale.

Stitching is going to be BIG in the craft world. These flowers are so cute with a great array of colours & designs.

One last snippet is this fab craft knife. It's a great design with a good grip, fab price and of course ... it's PINK !!!
Well this is just a small selection of what we were able to see. I'll post some more images soon.
Cheers for now.

New look.

Hello friends of the Pixies.
We were fortunate enough to be able to purchase some fabulous new shelving for our little shop. This is the little front room you walk into first. These two stands are just perfect for displaying all sorts of cards and of

the page projects.
We have been able to do away with the 'a' frame in the middle of the shop and use our newly purchased racks. It really does open the shop up and makes it bright and airy.
Call in to check out what it looks like in real life. We do have hand made cards by several talented ladies for sale and they are displayed in a fabulous revolving cardrack now.
Our PUNCH SALE is still on with some larger punches on special for HALF PRICE. Specials will be while stocks last.
We have a small selection of new papers in and are awaiting the arrival of some fantastic 'beaded ribbons. Look out for that in store soon.
Thanks for checking in.

Unfold your wings & fly !!
Cheers from the Pixies

Having a blast with Coco.

Christina Leahy [Coco] was our Guest Host on Wednesday 30th June. We ran a day and night class. We created the most beautiful collage card with a christmas theme. We appreciate Coco taking time out from her family holiday to spend it with the Pixies and friends.
This is our night class and their finished collage cards.

Our day class was well supported and the Pixies will definately be organising DAY CLASSES on a Wednesday soon, so keep a eye out for those.
Above back: Susy, Marian & Vicki. Front: Kylie & TrishOur beautiful guest artist - Coco.
The night class was heaps of fun and Jane & myself were able to participate as well due to some last minute non-attendances.
I told you I would Jane .... hee hee. So cute really !!
Our lovely Lisa having some well deserved R & R.
The finished product. Even though we all used the same pieces, we all put our own spin on the collage card and they turned out to be very unique creations.
Once again we thank Coco so much for taking the time to join us.
Don't forget to bring your works in and show us so we can pass onto Coco the fun you are all having playing with collage.
At present we are preparing for KIDS CLASSES as it's school holidays now.

GUEST ARTIST coming on 30th June. Check out cards ......

Hello bloggers !!! Welcome to this blog for PINK PIXIE Craft Supplies. I have posted a picture of the cards the CHRISTINA LEAHY [Coco] will be teaching for our class on 30th June. The first one is a simpler card made from punched shapes, ink & bling. The second one is a Christmas Scene which fits well with 'Christmas in July' arriving all too soon !!
Christina has used many elements to this beautiful collage card and I can't wait to be getting my hands dirty helping with this one.
If you would like to join us for class & meet Christina [if you don't happen to already LOVE her !!! hee hee] then BOOK NOW. We will be having our normal night class at the shop, 7.30 pm OR if you care to let us know NOW .... we may be able to run a DAY class on the Wednesday as well if numbers permit - [note - one card only].  So please let us know as soon as possible so we may arrange this. Thank you. We are so looking forward to Christina coming to play. Just wanting to let you all know that we ahve a good range of Distress Embossing powders in stock. Those who attended the 'Distress Class' had lots of fun learning and playing with these and all the other 'Distress' products.This is a pic of the 'FLOWERS' class that was run a few weeks ago. These beautiful set of flowers were created by JANE and .....these were designed by Sandie. It was lots of fun but we were a little OVER sanding by the end of the night though !!! lol
We do have a couple of sets left for anyone who wishes to purchase a kit to make up. They do look awesome completed ..... don't you think ???
This is a snap shot of some of the techniques we had fun playing around with at the last 'TECHNIQUES CLASS'. We used the full range of Distress goodies to create some fabulous ideas.

So if you are at all interested in learnign something new or just making up a few cards or layout .... pop along to one of our classes and join in the fun and meet some like-minded people.
We have heating for the colder nights and supply hot tea/coffee and scrummie supper. So call in now to see what's coming up in the next few weeks.
