Please go ahead and give @craftimetals a follow!
Important Dates:
- Summer Shutdown – 28th August to 1st September (We re-open Monday 4th September!)
July/August Free Gift
The Free Gift for July and August is one of our new Freestanding Tokens! To tie in with our focus on board games, we decided to add a range of freestanding tokens in some of our recently added new shapes – the Pawn, Lego ‘Minifig’ and our Meeple, in a range of mini sizes.
We thought we’d include one of these in your orders this time, to sample our idea of using the tab at the bottom of a shape (which is easily folded after printing over the edge of a table or desk) to create a 3D self standing item! We sell a range of trophies, clocks and signs that are produced with these bendable stands – so this a chance for you to sample how great they work.

Customer ‘Share To Win’ Photos
In this issue’s Share To Win we have these awesome medieval and witchcraft themed pendants created by The Hum from the Hill using our Square Pendant/Charm Settings!
The antique gold and silver finishes of the pendants compliment the designs brilliantly – and they make for some unique pieces of jewellery! We also have these lovely Cat themed Small Clock Gift Sets created by Lou Lew! A fantastic gift and keepsake for any Cat Lover out there, complete with it’s own matching tin!

Take a look down below and along the side at some of the amazing designs that our Design Team have been working on…
Halloween is fast approaching! Take a look at our great range of shapes and products that can be utilised for the occasion.
Milestone keepsakes for families are a lovely idea, why not create a cute ‘Baby’s First Halloween’ or ‘First Trick or Treating Trip’ plaque? A brilliant item that will be treasured for years to come!
Halloween is also a perfect opportunity to lean into magical and witchcraft themed products. From wall art and bookmarks to bag charms and keyrings – there’s something for everyone to enjoy!
It’s coming up to Summer, so as always, that’s our cue to start talking about Christmas – nice and early to allow you plenty of time to decide which of our products you’re going to stock up on or try out!
Be sure to check out our entire range of Christmas Products. We have lots of shapes to be used for tree decorations, advent calendars, dry wipe Christmas Lists, and also some brilliant gift sets.
Along the side are just a few design ideas from our external Design Team to kickstart your inspiration! (We’ll be continuing to explore even more new ideas for Christmas throughout the rest of this year’s Newsletters, so stay tuned!).
New Shape Showcase!
We teased in the June Update that our Lego Style ‘Minifig’ Shape and Pawn Piece Shape were coming very soon, and we’re happy to announce that they are now live! These brilliant shapes fit great into our Board Game theme alongside the Meeple Shape.
Speaking of Board Games, we now have free standing versions of the Meeple, Lego Style Figure, and Pawn available on our New! Freestanding Game Tokens listing. These come with an extra tab which you can easily bend back after printing to create some fun personalised tokens or playing pieces!
We have another addition to our new range of Gym Shapes! Alongside our Dumbbell, Kettlebell, and Gym Weight Shapes we now have a brand new Boxing Glove Shape! Fantastic for any Boxing fanatics out there – but it can also double up as a mitten for the winter season!
We also have two brand new Bike Shapes – a Leisure Bike and a Racing Bike! These are part of our ‘Exercise’ theme too but are also great for any sport related products, or maybe the Olympics (which are next year!)…
Finally, our amazing project for this newsletter is all about Gardens: Project 030: Fantastical Gardens!
