Grab our great range of colourful card, decorative paper, and embellishments, and let your creativity run wild! Whether it’s birthdays, holidays, or for a craft fair to make some cash, handmade cards add a special touch to any occasion.

With the Ulti-Mate Multi-Tool, you can sculpt intricate 3D shapes, embossing, stencils and die cutting, using this exciting stamping platform which makes it all so supremely simple!  The Ulti-Mate Tool comes in its own storage bag to store your stencils.  You’ll get a silicone mat and a foam mat, or use it for thicker red rubber mounted stamps, or use it for photo polymer or clear stamping.  This ensures that your card does not move as you stamp with it, makes life easy for inking and blending, and over stamping multiple times. Start with the suggested art ideas for beginners, then gradually progress to more complex layering, paint and other finishes. It can even be used with stencils from other brands.  Store all your stencils in one of our binders for convenience.
