EXACLAIR These new dried flowers packs are now available from ExaClair Limited, the UK distributor for Clairefontaine handicraft products. Based on the Japanese art of ‘Oshibana’, these dried flowers are on-trend at the moment as people are going ‘back to nature’ to find ways of creating a calming atmosphere around them. These Clairefontaine packs are perfect for making pretty and natural looking cards as each pack contains a mix of 12 real pressed flowers and leaves. There are five colour themed packs – yellow, pink, lavender, red and assorted. For protection, the flowers and leaves are backed with card and supplied in vacuum sealed packs with euro hooks, making them ideal for retailers. Other than cardmaking, when handled carefully with a clamp, the dried flowers can be used in multiple creative activities including scrapbooking, journaling, candle making, resin crafts, soap making etc. +44 (0)1553 696 600 sales@exaclair.co.uk www.exaclairlimited.com PEAK DALE PRODUCTS Peak Dale’s brand-new Intro Into kit is here - Iris Folding.
