Crafter’s Companion are excited to finally announce news of the launch of the Beatrix Potter range of craft products which is being lauched exclusively on Ideal World on Tuesday 16^th at 9pm!

Frederick Warne & Co. Ltd, owner and guardian of the Beatrix Potter property and original publisher of Beatrix Potter’s famous little white books, invited the company to collaborate with them on the development of an exciting range of papercrafting lines.

Sara Davies of Crafter’s Companion comments: “We were delighted to have been chosen as the preferred partners to such a well renowned publishing company on one of the world’s longest running and largest literature based licenses. Peter Rabbit and his friends are some of the best loved characters of all times, and are iconic in many childhood memories. The stories span generations and have timeless appeal, and we are excited to have the opportunity to bring them into our industry, opening the door for thousands of crafters to be able to recreate happy memories through their paper-crafting projects”.

Crafter’s Companion will be launching the first set of Beatrix Potter products in February 2010 which includes CD ROMs and Rubber Stamps of 3 of the most iconic Beatrix Potter characters – Peter Rabbit, Mrs Tiggy-Winkle and Tom Kitten. The products have been specially designed to appeal to both the new and experienced crafter alike, and the company are hoping that the range will open the door to a new generation of crafters.

Each CD includes an array of delicately designed backing papers, which not only captures the nostalgia of the era but also add a contemporary twist to the classic illustrations. Each paper comes complete with matching stationery elements such as card inserts, envelopes and notepaper to personalise, and can be integrated with borders, gift-tags, sentiments, decoupage to name but a few of the elements. Each CD comes complete with a crafter-friendly software system in-built for easy navigation through the various sections with interactive features such as the ability to set colour swatches and write and save poems and verses to the cards.

The rubber stamps are produced to the highest standards on Peter-Rabbit blue rubber and each set includes delicate artwork from the original story reproduced to give clear, crisp and accurate illustrations of Beatrix’s original lineart. Each set comes packaged with a colouring guide and step by step project ideas for inspiration.
