SPECIALIST CRAFTS Expect exceptional results with these quality Spectrum Artist Graphites by Specialist Crafts. The look and performance of these pencils make them suitable for budding and professional artists alike. They’re wonderful to hold because of their lacquered cedar barrels and even better to use because of the softness of the graphite cores. Supplied in tins, the comprehensive selection of grades offer great scope for creativity. The 6 tin contains grades: HB, B, 2B, 4B, 6B and 8B. The 12 tin contains grades: 2H, H, F, HB, B, 2B, 3B, 4B, 5B, 6B, 7B and 8B.

The eucalyptus is sustainably sourced and means that your envelope is 100 per cent recyclable and plastic-free – the eco-friendly alternative to the standard envelope. They’re also produced ungummed, meaning they’re not glued and require no moistener, just tuck the flap in the slot and you’re good to go! Die cut envelopes are very versatile and are perfect for generating that hand-made feel. You could use a craft cutting machine to create original designs or even just print on them. Envelopes Ltd can also print on them in-house, on either the flat sheet, or full coverage. A perfect option for invitations, thank you cards and many other special occasions. Let your creativity take over! There’s a large variety of colours to choose from, and if you’re not sure on the shade, send Envelopes a message and the company will get a sample out to you, to make sure you find your perfect envelope.
