SORRY THIS RIBBON CHALLENGE IS NOW FULL.

Calling all Chocoholics, this challenge is for you - Love Chocolate

Would you like to take part in our Ribbon Challenge # 2?

Be the first to see our NEW range of ribbons called "Love Chocolate" We have 10 free bundles of ribbons to give away, each bundle will contain lengths of all the new ribbons (NOT on the website - yet!). All we ask in return for these ribbons are two cards made from this delicious ribbon! The ribbons can be used to enhance all forms of card making, rubber stamping to decoupage as long as it is around the "Love Chocolate" theme!!!!

If you are up to the challenge, then send us an email to info@craftyribbons.com marked RIBBON CHALLENGE #2 - Who says no to FREE Chocolate!!!!

The first 10 to reply will be sent an email requesting address details so we can send your free ribbons!! Please note ribbon is not edible :-)

Your cards will be posted onto our website and will also be on display at the exhibitions we attend in the UK and France 2009

Huge Thanks

20/01/2009

A huge "Thank You" for all your wonderful emails and telephone calls we received over our break in, from customers, friends and colleagues. It is good to hear such nice comments, and we all needed the support yesterday. We are a small team and we all took it very badly. After a late finish yesterday and an early start this morning, everything has been put away, cleared up and re stacked - Crafty Ribbons is back!

Break in

19/01/2009

Our warehouse was broken into over the weekend. Ali and Tony discovered the damage and carnage yesterday.

We will try to get up and running as soon as we can, we still do have a back log of orders that we will try to start reprocessing once we have cleared up.

Please excuse us for the delay.

The policeman asked Ali why anyone would want to break into a ribbon warehouse - her reply was, "We have the best ribbon selection in the country!"

New Grosgrain Colours

15/01/2009

We have finished adding the New 6mm Grosgrain colours - 20 new wicked colours include, Donkey, Sapphire, Liberty and Cardinal. Just look out for the RED New Circle.

6mm Grosgrain is now available on 20mtr rolls

New Packs

12/01/2009

We have sold out of so many packs that we felt we were not giving you enough of a selection! So we have added 12 new packs to our January Pack Sale.

Ladybird (picture below), Simply Cream, Nursery, Ice Blue, Purely White, Bordeaux, Choc Chip Blue, Rainbow, Cookies & Cream, Eyelash, By the Sea, and Lemon. The Choc Chip (Pink) pack sold out so quickly that we have put together a new selection of ribbons around the same colour theme.

Hope you enjoy the new ones. Don't forget this special offer runs out in 19 days time....

Just a few more emails we have received from happy customers, we are so happy you all like your ribbons.

"hello, i would like to say a huge thankyou. my ribbons arrived today and they are beautiful. i have such a large collection now. i belong on the do crafts forum. so when i came across you and made my order, i shared the news. so i imagine when i go on site in a bit there will be some happy people on there. i just wanted to say thankyou for the quick service, and the excellent quality of the ribbons. gina. x"

"Thanks you so much !! My lovely ribbons arrived this morning !! I am now in ribbon heaven !! I am so glad I was reccomended to you.

PS Thanks also for the freebie !!"

"Just to let you know, my ribbon arrived today.

This is my first order from you and certainly won't be the last - although the mountain of ribbon I bought will certainly keep me going.

Anyway, just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with both product and service. I'll let anybody know about your ribbons that might be interested

Best wishes

Fiona"
