Sharon's Card Crafts started in a small shop, about the size of a small 3rd bedroom, in Northfleet, Kent in 2000. The shop was packed with crafting items
and we held workshops about once a month in the local church hall.
Within a year there was not enough room to hold all the new craft items that were becoming available in the UK so, in 2001, we moved to larger premises
with a small dedicated room, which held 4 people and a teacher, in which we held different workshops every week in Gravesend, Kent.
In a few years crafting had became so popular that we needed larger premises to hold all the stock and a bigger room to hold workshops. In 2005 we moved to
Swanley, Kent, a lovely big premises that meant we could have demonstrations, make and takes and have 12 people and a teacher in the workshops as well as
stock a more diverse range of crafting products.
In 2018, after 13 years, with shopping trends changing to online and rising costs we made the difficult decision to change to an online only store.
We still do workshops, mainly in Gravesend, Kent covering different crafts and crafting levels with various different teachers. All our workshops can be seen
on the website.
We are the home of Sleek Designs and under that name have been designing and selling our own unmounted stamp range since 2007 and papers since 2010.
Changing to an online store means that we now have digital Sleek Design products available too.
