Husband and Wife team Paul and Julie Richardson, had always wanted to find a venture that they could work on together. It soon became obvious that Julie's creative streak and Paul's technical wizardry provided a winning combination.

Determination to create the ultimate online store encouraged Julie to consider what she personally looked for in craft suppliers. "I used to find that stores sold supplies in large quantities," says Julie, "As most crafters know, card making quickly becomes addictive, and as you become more creative, you want to experiment with as many different products, designs and techniques as you can."

This was the inspiration behind CRAFTEE - "To provide card making supplies in smaller quantities", says Julie.

The CRAFTEE web site offers unique craft kits, CRAFTEE TopKits - kits designed to be assembled with ease to make a card, and assorted packs of card blanks. An extensive ranges of peel-offs is also available. The site now offers over 2,000 different products online.

Despite it's growth, CRAFTEE remains firmly rooted to its original objectives, as Julie explains, "It's extremely gratifying when customers tell us that CRAFTEE has inspired them, and that they can have lots of different goodies for their money."

It certainly appears to be a winning combination.
