Artfull Crafts presents Centre Stage with Authentique!!



CENTRE STAGE is an innovative concept dreamed up by Artfull Crafts to give YOU  exposure to different brands each month! For the month of April we are thrilled to welcome Authentique into the spotlight.

Authentique is a company that is new to the crafting market in 2011 and their products are FABULOUS! I met their Sales Manager, David Ross, at CHA in Los Angeles last month and they are really keen to team up with us and have us expose their products to the NZ scene. I had a great time at their stand and even came home with all their new collections in my suitcase...


Authentique says this about themselves:

There is something compelling about being genuine.

We love the genuineness of those who enjoy creating beautiful things and
celebrating family memories. Our products are designed to enhance the
authentic side in each of us, hence Authentique Paper.


We believe..


• Preserving family memories is vital to our happiness.

• Attributes are greater than accomplishments.
• Everyone 

• Most people have great respect for quality.
• A child's best is good enough and they love compliments.
• An event isn't as important as enjoying it.



During April, we'll be meeting more of the Authentique Team, creating kits and will be swapping Design Team members during the month!! Our Design Team will also bring you daily crafting inspiration on our blog.

We're excited and are looking forward to promoting these wonderful products. Keep your eye out on our weekly email newsletters, Facebook and our blog so you don't miss out.

We want to thank Authentique and Memories Forever (NZ Distributor) for providing prizes for this month's Centre Stage.



Authentique's new ranges Celebration and Loyal are arriving early this week - so we've loaded them online already for purchase!

To celebrate the launch of our April CENTRE STAGE, we want to give away this Authentique Loyal 6x6 pad. It's double-sided papers makes it a winner for papercrafters.

It's easy to win! You just need to go to either Artfull Crafts blog or Facebook Page and leave a message/comment with the words CENTRE STAGE or AUTHENTIQUE somewhere in it!  We'll do a draw for the pad next Friday midnight.

Please take me  now!

  17. certainly seems both Centre stage and Authentique are the next things since sliced bread. Wish I had some and some inspiration. Brain fatigue after an accident certainly limits your work and when you can do it :)
