Halloween Ideas!

We have a new addition to our Memorial/Garden Markers – the Headstone Marker! It fits in great with our Rectangle Markers and other shaped Plant/Garden Markers.

The new Headstone Garden/Memorial Marker is great for creating beautiful memorials for pets and loved ones, to mark both their lives and precious memories with them. It would also make a lovely memorial plaque for Remembrance Day, printed up with a lovely poppy design and a poem.

This marker also brilliant for Halloween Signs or Decorations and fantastic to be used as markers to show that your house is open for Trick or Treaters! (like the example pictured along the side!).

We have a spooky range of Halloween shapes including: the Pumpkin, Skull, Skull and Crossbones, Witch Hat, Coffin, Ghost, and Apple. They make brilliant decorations and scary gifts for Halloween! And if you’re throwing a party this year, our Build Your Own Halloween Party Packis a perfect choice for an array of useful shapes. It offers a great selection of products to use for decorations, signs, bunting, and food markers!

Christmas Ideas!

Our Hook and Loop Advent Calendar Sets are great for creating a re-usable and interactive Advent Calendar that can be enjoyed by the whole family! Whether you use Christmas or Winter themed artwork to create a fun scene, a house design to add one decoration to every day (like the example pictured along the side!), or use family photos – there’s bound to be something that appeals to everyone!

Our Cash Cards have proven to be a popular product and are super versatile! They can be personalised to an occasion – or even a specific person – and are a great way of giving money to a loved one whilst also acting as a cool keepsake. They’re definitely a fantastic choice for those difficult to buy for people!

A decorative wreath for Christmas is a brilliant idea – another one that can be re-used year after year! – and we have a few different Christmas themed sets to choose from! The Christmas Snowflake Set uses the 12 Hook Wreath and 12 Traditional Snowflakes, the Christmas Disc Set using the 12 Hook Wreath and 12 Discs, and the final Christmas Set uses the 6 Hook Wreath and an assortment of 6 Christmas shapes including Stars and Stockings!

We have a fantastic range of Christmas Shapes that are brilliant for creating all sorts of decorations! From our Angels, Elf Boots, Gingerbread People, and Gonks to our Stars, Baubles, Snow Globes, and Bells – there is bound to be something that appeals to everyone! We also have some lovely Christmas themed Tealight Wraps and Cake Toppers. These are simple but effective products that can add an extra special touch to your festive displays!

New Shape Showcase!

We launched a lot of new products in our September/October Newsletter, so we figured we would include a recap of them with some brilliant ideas of the great products you can create with them!

We have 3 new sub categories on our website: Forest and Fantasy, Steampunk, and Magic – if you are interested in any of these themes, we have grouped together all shapes and products that fit great within these themes to help you start creating your products!

The Top Hat and Playing Card Suit Shapes are perfect for a Magic theme! Combine them with our existing Dove or Rabbit shapes for all sorts of brilliant magical products! You could even use our Playing Card Sized item and combine them with some of our smaller sized Playing Card Suit Shapes to create a selection of cool 3D products!

Slotting nicely into our Steampunk themed products are: The Sun Cog, Slotted Gear, Spiked Saw Blade, Straight and Curved Pipes, Hexagon Nut Shapes, and Hot Air Balloon/Lightbulb Shape! Great for any Steampunk enthusiasts, but also for Plumbers, Builders, and those skilled in DIY! The Cogs have been designed so that the same sizes of the same cogs will fit together – similar to real cogs – allowing you to create some really unique displays!

And last but certainly not least, our Fantasy Forest theme has some fantastic shapes: The Frog, Holly Leaf, Fairies, Cloud Tree, Mushroom, Toadstool, and Log! Pair them with any of our existing shapes that also fit into this theme like our Horseshoe Shape that doubles as a cute Owl, or any of our bees, snails and butterflies. Perfect for anyone who loves nature and fantasy!

These new shapes can be used to create all sorts of awesome products from door plaques, signs, wall art, and dry wipe boards to bookmarks, badges, fridge magnets, keyrings, and jewellery charms!

Scene in a Tin!

Our new ‘Scenes in Tins’ make beautiful gifts to display! Choose a size of tin and one of our shape sets to get started…

Each tin comes with inner inserts so you can create a backdrop for your scene. The tins also come with their standard topper so you can really personalise each tin set depending on who it is for. Also included is a sheet of double sided adhesive and 4 double sided foam pads to aid you in attaching the inserts, toppers, and shapes to the tin.

You can combine sublimation and crafting to create all sorts of unique scenes, and you could even leave a space in the tin for a gift to be placed or hung up, making the tin both part of the gift and the gift holder! Adding a string of little fairy lights will give the scene an added extra touch (You can see this effect in one of the examples pictured along the side!). This product really offers you the chance to get creative!

We currently offer a few different themed shape sets to create the scenes in tins including: a forest set, a steampunk set, and a magic set. We plan on adding more themed sets to this product very soon, so keep an eye out for that!

 

Hope you’ve enjoyed our update, with new products, inspiration and sneak peaks… we’ll be back very soon with more of our brand new, exciting metal options!

Kind Regards,
Nicci, Carl, Claire, Caroline, Pippa, Jodie, Emily, Louise, Tina, Jo, Lisa, Petal the Doberman, Trixie the Jack Russell, & Donder and Blitzen the Sprocker Siblings – the Subli Metals Team!
