A message to all shop customers. As you know the shop was meant to re open this week I have spent the week in hospital with my Mum. As any of you who know her from working in the shop she has been really suffering lately with her illness She passed away on Friday night and we are all completely devastated She was such a strong, beautiful woman who kept how ill she was feeling to herself so as not to worry us She is so, so missed... I am not really in a place right now to answer any messages so please understand if I don’t I will be in touch as soon as the shop is ready to re open. Wendy

Hi quite a few are asking for the address of the new garden centre so I’m re posting this one with the address

always wanted to try them was always fascinated when I watched her demos

now I have bought some stamps and have had a go and I am pleased with the results

Wow! I found you at the Sandown show today - I spent 80% of my time at the show watching you demo! You were definitely the best stand there! Thank you so much for so beautifully demonstrating, and for all the ideas. I am actually a Scrapbooker and have never made cards, but always watch the demonstrations for ideas I can incorporate into Scrapbooking - but I think I have finally been inspired to make my first card!! Best wishes

What's not to like about these beautiful stamps. So many ideas but not enough time to play!!!! They just get better and better every time . And the fantastic thing is they all work together and are so reasonably priced. Thank you so much !!!!! I was so nervous to try them at first but I'm now totally addicted Every one should try them.!!!! ����������

Wendy make stamping look so easy, with lots of demos..the stamps are all beautiful

Wendy and her husband were realy welcoming and had time to show us a few ideas and tips on how to improve our stamping. The garden centre is lovely and the cafe was ideal for a quick bite. It can only go from strengh to strengh and i wish them all the best for the future. Jean ross .bury lacs.

Loved watching the demonstrations. ......worked overtime to purchase bits to start me off......

Loved the demo at crafting live in edinburgh. Just had to buy the stamps. The best demonstrator on the day. Took time with customers and shared lots of tips.

Loved the demo I watched at crafting live show in Bolton. Have got some inks to try this out with and have some baby wipes hanging up to dry out. Can't wait to give it a go again. This time making sure I get rid of as much ink as possible before adding to card

Love, love, love Card-io stamps! So easy to make beautifully simple, elegant cards.

Love the techniques, I went to the Crafting live event yesterday and couldn't get to see your stall due to it being packed. Anyway after 3pm my friend and i went back and we had the whole stall to ourselves and we where shown how do certain things, The only problem is that i regret not buying more stamps than i did !! but hey ho i have now ordered them online xx P.s next time you need a bigger stall !! lol

Love the stamps i have bought quite a lot recently since seeing wendy on the craft channel, wanted to go to a workshop at the shop, how can i get a list of available dates for june? thanks shirley

Just been to your new garden centre and received some great advice on my stamping which I was having trouble with. Everyone was so helpful and a lovely coffee shop and garden centre. Thank you.

I saw the Card-io stand at Edinburgh Crafting Live yesterday and was blown away by the designs. I loved them. Also the advice I received from the gentleman at the stand was great and so friendly. Can't wait to get started with the stamps I bought.

I first saw the Card-io stamps and techniques at the NEC craft show. Their stamps are wonderful, also their sample cards. I rarely used stamps before I saw their demonstrations at the NEC but have loads of their stamps now and use them all the time. I've made most of my Christmas cards with Card-io stamps and will continue to use them for greeting cards as the possibilities are endless, using different stamp sets together.

Hi Wendy. I have just been watching your demo's on Hochanda and you were brilliant. Your finished cards were fantastic. I will be calling into your shop when I get back from Gran Canaria. Love Christine xxx

Have just been introduced to the Majestix range of stamps and I adore them. So much can be done with them. Had the pleasure of meeting the team at Ally Pally last week and purchased some sets. Thanks guys. It was nice to see you

Great fun stamps as I love doing landscapes. There are so many ideas in my head of other stamps I would love to see in this style. How about cookery ones - knitting/sewing - more clothes for the washing line - sports?

Fabulous stamps and ideas for cards. Love them all!

Absolutely love Cardio Wendy is an inspiration she always has time to show you how to get the best results with these fantastic stamps every time a new set comes out I have to buy them. Busy doing Christmas cards at the moment with the last new set,of cause Wendy’s time to make a card is seconds mine is hours ��� xx
