We are a family-run business that make limited quantity, hand-crafted greetings cards which we sell to the public at our Card Making Supplies Shop.
As experienced card makers we have grown to appreciate the importance of quality, yet affordable card making supplies and are pleased to make those we use ourselves available for purchase not only here on our website but also at our shop. Details of how to find us can be found on our contact page or clicking on Visit Our Shop.
Julie(she who must be obeyed) started making cards in 2003 and it quickly grew into a real passion. In fact the Card Making passion over took the house, the van, the garden shed, and the parents houses.
Time to move it all out I (he who has to make it all happen) thought. So we moved it all to our lovely little shop that has all the nook and grannies filled with Card Making Supplies.
Julie is so mad about cards and card making and that she even runs regular Card Making Workshops to help others who want to expand their knowledge or just get started.
Regulars to our Card Making Workshops refer to Julie affectionately as the Stingy Crafter because she doesn't like to see any Card Making Supplies go to waste.
We also have a regular Craft Club where you bring along your own project and tools and escape from the housework.
We have been very humbled by the many positive comments we have received from our crafting customers so we hope you find the time to visit us in person.
You'll find that we enjoy chatting with other card makers that come into our shop, so if you want to visit us and bag a bargain, share tips and ideas then why not visit our shop and remember that our prices are some of the best around and we have a loyalty card scheme that is free to join.
You'll find our Card Making shop in South Ockendon along the B186, just look for the Thrifty Crafter.
We hope you enjoy browsing through our shop and you find what you are looking for but if you don't please let us know. If we don't stock it we are usually able to obtain it for you through our extensive range of suppliers.
Thank you for visiting us and Happy Crafting! 
Julie & Richard
