STAY AT HOME GUIDE #3 - DYLUSIONS


And a bit of Dylusions fun has arrived too - both new and restocks.


If you don't know how to start or use the paint pens, pop to this link.
Dyan explains them thoroughly in this video - it's a couple of years old but the best explanation I've seen.

New stamps for 2020!!!



How can you not laugh at some of these?




Call us on 3851 2200 or email info@aplacetocreate.com.au if you have any questions or would like any products held for you. 


STAY AT HOME GUIDE #2


As mentioned earlier this week, we will be using the front page of our blog during this time to share new products with you.  You are of course still welcome to visit the shop however if you choose not to, we would like to bring the shop to you.

Please scroll through this and previous posts to "window shop" the new products (obviously with the option of buying if you need to rehome some of these new goodies.

Your love of Stamperia inspired us to buy more of their new products. 

The new Forest collection has started arriving (we still are bewildered as to how you pre-order a full collection but have separate papers from one collection arrive over 3 or 4 orders but hey, 
at least it's still coming) as well as this new collection.

 Have you checked out this new mixed media range designed by Antonis Tzanidakis - very steampunky! 

It's all in store now. 

Remember if you can't get in or choose not to come in, we can arrange a drive by pick up and bring your purchases to the carpark for you or you can talk to us about postage / delivery in the local area. 

If we can help with anything, please call us on 3851 2200.

Have a fabulous Saturday and stay well.















A couple of little Easter dies have also arrived.  This might be  a good year to embrace card giving (not just making) as a handmade card can brighten anyone's day.

You can call the store on 3851 2200 to secure any orders and talk to the girls about pick up options or delivery options.

Silhouette CAMEO Pick-Me-Up Tool - The Pick-Me-Up tool has a tacky tip for picking up and placing small objects, like paper pieces and rhinestones. The tooltip can be twisted to expose further sticky tack material as it begins to wear down. It also has a removable stylus on the back of the tool so that you can press small paper pieces into place to help release them from the tool's tacky grip.  Price $13.99

ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL CRAFT DE-STASH TO KICK OFF 2020



We lost count of how many people came through on Saturday but it was very well supported for which we thank you!


If this was your first de-stash, congratulations - you did an amazing job cleaning out your stuff and packing it up for others to repurpose.

Alternatively if this was your first time shopping, we hope you found some amazing goodies - as you can imagine, there were some very deep boxes, containers and baskets and as they began to empty, we have been able to spread out the goodies even more so you could find things you didn't see the first time around.

The good news is we still have plenty of items left to make it worthwhile popping in on Tuesday or Wednesday this week as we will be opening the room up for two more days so you can pop back, bring a friend or bring the kids after school for some bargains.

Hope to see you all very soon.

Stay safe, stay healthy and stay strong.
