Follow to find out what’s happening in “The Hive”!

25/08/2025

After 11 wonderful years as Ashcraft & Gifts, the shop is entering a new chapter. From tomorrow, I am rebranding as The Paper Hive 🐝.

This change is not in any way meant to diminish the incredible work and dedication that Ash and Vicki have poured into this business over the past decade. Their vision, creativity, and hard work built a strong foundation and a loyal community of crafters, and I honour that wholeheartedly.

The new name reflects the direction I’m continuing to take the business..fostering a hive of creativity where crafters can come together to share, connect, and inspire each other. Just like a hive, this is a place of energy, collaboration, and connection—a place where we’ll continue to craft not only on paper, but also lifelong memories with each other.

Thank you for your continued support. I can’t wait to welcome you into The Paper Hive. 💛

I will be setting up a new page soon which will mean Vicki B no longer needs to host it. The website will be closed down in the not too distant future. Hopefully the transition will be smooth for everyone!

I love it when two suppliers create a range that complements one another. This is a cluster I made today using both Bee Arty and Uniquely creative elements. Didn’t quite get the reinforcer the right colour and not sold on the ribbon, but otherwise I’m pretty happy with it.
Want to make some clusters? Join us on Thursday 4th September at 6 pm for a “sip and cluster” evening! Still have 4 spaces left.

Does anyone make ‘clusters’ to have on hand for journals, cards or layouts? I’ve been watching some videos on clusters and it looks like a great way to use up your stash of embellishments and have them ready to use for projects. You can even be store them in albums or books and then pull off when you find the perfect use for them.
I’m wondering if this might be another great workshop to do now and then .. maybe “sip and cluster!”
