Hmmm, I'm not that taken with the Creativity Life stuff. I know that it's because I don't like the lady who presents it, purely illogical reasons but I get really irritated by people who make a point of saying that they are trying to be hip and new and "young" to distinguish themselves from others in their field. The guest presenter kept going on about this on Craft Day but I couldn't see anything in the products or her presentations that was new or different to anyone else. Also, when she was asked which products from other ranges she said "I like all the mens' stuff" which just seemed an odd response. I mean she might like Tim Holtz or We R Memory Keepers but the implication was that she didn't like the womens' stuff.
Anyway I know I'm being picky and probably completely over-sensitive, but I just couldn't warm to her at all. I also really hate when people try to distance themselves from anything "traditional" in their fields. It seems a bit "craft snobby" to me and it isn't as if the Creativity Life stuff is so different or any better, at least IMHO.
I'm still looking forward to seeing the TSV and the shows even though I'm not likely to be buying anything, it'll be interesting to see what they come up with.
It's not just you. I have been taught by her at a workshop and really didn't take to her at all - can't put my finger on why - so much so that I don't watch the hours on QVC.

Becks is hugely disliked by lots of people, I've heard various things about her & how she ran her old company. I remember reading her blog after she'd left the company and her ex-business partner had kept it running and she was always putting in little snipey comments about how it was doing. She just wouldn't let it lie! People were also very disappointed when she cancelled a retreat at fairly short notice that many had already booked the hotels for etc.
I'm not a huge fan of DO (Design Objectives that run the whole Docrafts/Creativity shebang) these days. I liked them when they were a tiny company (though all their stuff was carp but I was new to crafting and didn't know what else was out there :rolleyes:) but these days they seem determined to take over the whole of uk crafting.
When they signed up to sell Basic Grey etc over here they made BG cancel all orders that had been taken at a trade show from uk retailers so that it all had to be bought through them. Some got round this by using a distributor based in Europe.
Which leads me to the thing that REALLY pees me off about them - to sell their stuff you have to agree to take a certain value of their stock (I know one shop quoted £1000 and another £2000) and a range of their products. So you end up flogging the carpy peel offs (I do use them, just not to the extent that DB seems to think we all should!) as well as the stuff you actually wanted. Plus they undersell you at Argos. A fairly local craft shop to me has nothing but complaints about them - and has finally realised that their stuff is hardly exclusive as you can find it everywhere.
However, I do like BG, WRMK and will admit to buying a set of Docrafts' new duo stamps last week and reading on the back that they are by Imaginisce so, although I now like 'their' products, I still feel a bit dubious about their business practises.
I knew I should have thought about it before rushing in and buying a lot of bits in their sale :eek:
Sorry for the rant, I was a hare rather than my usual tortoise as this subject irks me so!

11-01-2009, 08:56 PM
Funny that, I just couldn't warm to her at all. I mean that quite literally, the couple of times I've seen her on QVC, I've had a "cold" instinct that I occasionally get when something or someone doesn't feel right. None of us are perfect but mostly I can get along with people and find something that I like about them, but there are a few people I've met in my life who I just didn't warm to.
I like the Basic Grey stuff but it's not that much different to K & Co or other upmarket brands, I hate suppliers who try to set up monopolies, I think it's just commercial bullying.
Anyway interesting that others feel the same. I love WRMK stuff and other "male" things as well as I like the others, but I just hate people who try to be elitist. Her company might do some decent stuff but teh way she comes across and what I've heard on here just puts me off. At least she doesn't have a monopoly on how I spend my money.
DianaDreads
11-01-2009, 09:06 PM
Ooh, I've just heard on the smackblog (wash my mouth out!) that BG have now dumped DO which is why it's all half price.
BG were warned before they signed up with them that it wouldn't be a popular move and they'd be better staying with independent scrapbook retailers but went ahead anyway and now the stuff isn't selling to the typical docrafts card maker (although the new stuff is nowhere near as must-have as the stuff that I found by them once I got a bit of scrapping knowledge).
If at all possible I buy my BG/WRMK etc stuff from the independents but tbh I don't what my lcs would do if she didn't have docrafts stuff to sell, it's about all she stocks
Marie
11-01-2009, 09:20 PM
Well that sounds like a good business decision by BG. Interesting development.

Glad I read this thread. I found this presenter rather tiresome and rude. There are loads of other more experienced and talented that come across as really down to earth, she needs to realise this; but she gives me the impression that she would not really care about what us folk think of her... As for DO/Docrafts products I don't buy as much as I do other manufacturers stuff. I am not a fan of their rubber stamps!

12-01-2009, 09:13 AM
a few craft shops round here don't stock DO Crafts stuff now because of the amount of stuff they have to stock.
Marie

Yes I'd like to know what Smackblog is, sounds intriguing, although of course if it's another forum than we can't post info about it here!

I must be in a minority of one here, but I actually liked the two shows I saw Becks do... Maybe it's as simple as I wish that QVC had a greater variety of craft presenters. Nothing wrong with Dawn Bibby, but I sometimes feel that the only things we ever get to see are projects she's made or made by people she's "trained". It can begin to feel very samey & I end up sitting down to watch my Tuesday craft show only to find that I'm bored & so end up reading a craft magazine or surfing the net at the same time. Becks may or may not be a nice person, but at least she held my attention for the whole show! Could be it's just the novelty factor I suppose... We'll see how I feel after a whole day of her!
Marie
12-01-2009, 01:55 PM
I didn't dislike the shows CB, actuallhy I think she was a good presenter and demonstrated the products well. I just didn't warm to her as a person. And I'm sure that the TSV will be a decent product. The point I was making was that she was holding herself out to be new and different and appeal to a "younger" audience but neither the products she brought nor her demos seemed to be different than the other craft stuff. I certainly didn't see anything in terms of technique that was any different to DB or AG or anyone else.
CaramelBunny
12-01-2009, 02:26 PM
That's a fair point, Marie. I wasn't really considering whether I liked her or not, just whether I enjoyed watching the show. Looking back she did perhaps have a bit of an air of being younger, cooler, different, but whilst that might rub me up the wrong way in person it's not bothered me on TV yet. I'm not sure how different products can be these days with so much out there, but I did like the black magic coredinations card that was on OTO last show she did. It's going to work very well being cut & embossed in my Big Shot then sanded down with the Basic Grey file set I bought from her first show!

We've had a couple of purple cow trimmers in the shop, but I think they're different to that one.

19-01-2009, 02:48 PM
The only thing that interests me is that it looks like the bed is 12x12. I bought the C&C one a while back and that has an assortment of blades so don't see any other difference.
A case of too little difference and much too late in time.
Craftyktee
19-01-2009, 03:33 PM
I have two of the Purple Cow trimmers; a small one that cuts up to A5 card with a cold laminator; got it from C&C about two years ago. Also have one for 12x12 card/paper, this has a trimmer with three different blades and a guillotine. The TSV is a great buy, as the card stock is good quality not just for SB but also Card Making, just wonder if it's colour core?
CaramelBunny
19-01-2009, 04:15 PM
Hmmm... If you're that in to your crafting to spend £35 on the TSV then you probably already have a paper trimmer or two at home. Not to mention some tearing rulers for the fancy edges & maybe even a die cutting machine too! No, I think I will be passing on this one. Whilst I'm having a sulk, 10 whole sheets of card? Really? Oh, they really are spoiling us!:rolleyes:
Anyway, just because it's not my cup of tea... Thanks for letting us all know what it is, Ian, & I hope that those of you who do get it find it better than the reviewers in the link Jeanette posted!;)

I'm just going to get the WRMK magnetic anywhere trimmer for with my magnetic cutting mat I think. I've got loads of fancy blades for my fiskars trimmer.
Really enjoyed Sara Griffiths on the craft shows. No constant chat over the guests. nothing ott at all. Just good professional presenting. :)
I felt that Sara was not very professional in the way that she started ripping a number of the samples apart.
I know she was trying to demonstrate the perforations - but she must also have known that the samples have taken a lot of time and effort to prepare.
You allow the demonstrator to rip apart her own work - not just destroy it yourself.

I actually found that quite funny, although can see how the demonstrator might have been a bit miffed.

20-01-2009, 10:28 AM
Thought Sara's "presentation" was abysmal. Not content with destroying the samples she butted in and cut across what guest presenters were saying; changed the subject on numerous occasions and, towards the end of the second hour, seemed to have lost the plot completely playing with the glitter, velvet flocking and tape/glue runners.

I agree with you here, and she didn't just rip one apart she had at least 4 of the demos and destroyed them. That Becks woman's face was priceless.
I would not have been able to stand there and not tell her off if it had been my hard work.
It irritates me when these presenters get hold of the samples and ooooh and aaaahhh over them thus preventing them all from being seen, or holding them at an angle that is perfect for them to see and rubbish for the viewer to see. Plus sometimes its like they are taking credit......... daft I know. Just stand there, tell me if it's sold out, tell me the price, remind me for the 11,000th time that there is a 30 day MBG and then keep ruddy quiet and your hands still!!
Ohhh that feels better, LMAO
As for the cardstock being worth £10, puhleaseeeeeeeeeeeee there were packs of 20 of these papers not so long ago all over the place for around the £7.50 mark..... and indvidual sheets for 49p so how can ten measely sheets possibly be worth £10? Come on QVC less of the b*dust and more price reductions and while you are about it, start knocking prices down to reflect the VAT reduction! Bet they put prices up when the VAT goes back up again.

I agree with you completely, I could feel myself getting more annoyed by the minute. How the guests kept their cool I don't know. I would have had to tell her to go away and let me do my job. She was like a 5 year old child who has never been disciplined. Why does QVC allow presenters to behave like some of them do is beyond me. Craig yesterday was so different.

I was a little shocked that Sara wanted to tear every perforation in sight, LOL, thought that the samples were meant to last all day! I felt that there was a lot of shouty presentation going on, what with Rosemary as well who talks very quickly and I don't feel comfortable watching present (shoot me if you will, I know a lot of people like her!).

Not a Rosemary fan either. She always seems to be rushing like mad, both with her spiel and her demos.

20-01-2009, 11:56 AM
Well I was mortified to watch Sara, I thought her manners were appalling last night. I've emailed QVC this morning to complain about it. I'm no great fan of the Becks woman but she was professional and trying to explain but Sara repeatedly interruped her explanations with stupid questions and kept spoiling the presentations. All she seemed to be interested in was playing with and spoiling the samples. It was embarrasssing to watch.
I was really disappointed as I normally like watching Sara but last night her performance was very unprofessional. I don't know why it is that some of the (sadly) female presenters seem to think that whenever craft shows are on, it means they can act like badly behaved children with little regard for the guests. It does seem to be a QVC phenomenon, it's such a shame.

I watched the first 15 mins of the midday show and then gave up-I just couldn't concentrate. I was interested to know more about the acrylic albums but with Alison Keenan and Rosemary talking over each other - it was like trying to listen to two televisions at the same time! :mad::mad: It actually stresses me out watching them.....Is it just me?
I agree with other contributors re Sara G last night-I gave up on that show as well :(

20-01-2009, 12:41 PM
When I was watching the first hour of the launch show I got the distinct impression that Sara was charging about cos the Gallery were changing their minds as to what to show - ie "Let's stop looking at the board & see how it works..." ...go trimmer... "Oh no, let's see what you've made with it first" or words to that effect. I felt she was a little 'grabby' I get why she tore some of the samples (perforations just don't look very exciting), but I think she went a bit far & I didn't see the point of destroying samples that presumably will be needed each time the TSV is demo'd today? I suppose it's possible that they'd agreed before the show that Sara would rip some stuff, but she went a bit mad
BTW - that wasn't Becks Fagg on the launch show, that was Claire thingy that has previously done the PaperMania Shows
Thank goodness it's not just me that thinks that Rosemary goes a bit fast. She has some lovely products & samples, but she hardly seems to draw breath.
I just checked the product list for the midday show & see that they were selling 40 12x12 Core'dinations sheets for £14.50 plus p&p so what's with the 10 sheets with the TSV? And actually, what's with the Core'dinations card with a trimmer? A trimmer trims (or score or perforates) which doesn't show the core of a card (apart from a bit down the side, with a magnifying glass I suppose), which I thought was the whole point of the Core'dintations range? Why not just offer some nice 12x12 cardstock without the gimmick & sell the Core'dintations seperately...?
And finally - can someone train either the camera crew or directors at QVC to sort out how to do a close up of crafty sample please! I am fed up of seeing detailed samples from a distance - or the presenter/guest holding something up for a close up & the director cutting to the packshot, or what ever...

20-01-2009, 06:38 PM
The presenters seem to be absolutely manic today and that Sara completely lost the plot and starting sticking everything that was standing still. Don't they realise that they can actually devalue the product by using it in a way it is not intended. QVC's presenters really need to be told to BACK OFF, they are upsetting the guests and definately upsetting the viewers with their constant interruptions and rudeness. So many people watch with the sound turned down now so they don't have to suffer the presenters!! I've just turned off, I've had enough of repeat products, extortionate prices and presenters.
Ribbons
20-01-2009, 07:11 PM
It always amazes me that whenever I watch the craft hours and get irritated, I come on here and everybody is saying what I'm thinking! Sara last night was so full on I ended up turning off, taping it and then fast forwarding this morning. I don't bother to watch Alison Keenan and Rosemary Merry, I like, but is always looking as though she is being rushed and is under enormous pressure. I must say I enjoyed Catherine on with Dawn today - as I always do because it is so relaxing, so there is hope and maybe the other presenters could take note of her style.
The craft tsv is a disappointment, but on the other hand I haven't spent any money so far which is all good.
Tolly
20-01-2009, 08:36 PM
I saw the launch and wasn't that impressed with the Do Craft lady. I think Sara was possibly told to take over the show as it wasn't going so well with the other lady "leading." She certainly wasn't her normal self! :confused:
I can't stand watching Rosemary Merry either, am so sick of seeing her damn family on every page! I agree with what's been said before, she's a very poor demonstrator and always rushes like she is only allowed one breath per show!
As for Becks Fagg...oh please don't get me started! :mad:
Today has accomplished one thing with me - it's made me realise just how professional and good at her job Dawn really is. She makes it look so easy and effortless that you don't realise how tough doing a craft show is. Then you see the likes of Ms Fagg and Mrs Merry! Good grief! What a contrast!:eek:
By the way, can you tell I've just discovered the smilies on this forum! :D

Do Crafts have lost Basic Grey - so not quite everything these days!

I have joined you all for the first time this evening to say 'Thank You'. Why, you ask! Well, through reading this thread, I realised how irritating QVCCraft has become of late. They have lost their way since I joined and started to craft 4 years ago.
I often turn down the sound nowadays or watch online so I can be doing other things while watching the shows. Or I knit. Or use Sky+ so I can fast forward the shows.
And no, I did not buy the TSV today. It did not inspire me as I have bought all my tools now. And naughty, naughty, there was another trimmer aired during yesterday evening before the TSV was broadcast.
Dawn is excellent and sometimes seems to separate herself from all the other crafting activities - is that my overworked imagination?
But, hey, we're getting too serious maybe. It is, after all, only shopping!
Oh no it isn't, you call back, it's crafting!

Hi Lolathelamb - welcome to the forum
Well craft telly shouldn't be taken seriously, but things might get serious for QVC if they don't take this feedback on board. I wasn't particularly interested in the trimmer either - I have a perfectly good ordinary trimmer and use fancy scissors or fiskars templates if I want fancier edging. That trimmer would just be something else taking up space in my craft room.
Actually, I feel quite sorry for RM. She has to demonstrate the same items every show. It has become very boring for us and I expect for her too. I wonder how DB would feel if she had to demo the same kits every show!!
I agree Jeanette- I like RM as well, but everyone is bored with the same old bits. I am waiting to see what the 'big' news regarding her and QVC is?
Welcome Lolathelamb hope you soon feeel at home- love the name btw!
Ok, now the confession :o :eek: I gave in and ordered the TSV at 23.10! I have decided to risk giving it a try as I could do with a new trimmer and I don't have anything else (no die cutting machines etc) to cut pretty edges with apart from the kids scissors. Hopefully I won't regret it, I will report back when I've had a play. :)
I am waiting to see what the 'big' news regarding her and QVC is?

That trimmer would just be something else taking up space in my craft room.
It would indeed, Spendloads - quite a lot of valuable space that my little Fiskars trimmer is not occupying at present.
Thanks for the Welcome everyone.
I also feel concern for RM given that her father is so poorly. She does get limited to the scrapbooking stuff that is not given the prevalence it deserves. I think QVC's money back guarantee is quoted too often - in fact, you end up paying for two lots of postage if you return anything. That can be over £10. I am very careful about what I order right across their range. When you consider I created my craft room liberally from their supplies, they must be missing me.
Missed the bit about RM having big news!

ROTFL :D
I wouldn't be at all surprised!

ROFLMAO ob1!
Given how many scrapbooking kits QVC stock, I wonder why RM only gets to demo the same few kits over & over again? IIRC, she had the Cosmo Cricket TSV & the BP Crafters Delight again the other night...
On the Creativity Life hour, we have near identical 3L tape runner kits.
So perhaps it will be Sticky Day rather than just Wackytack Day
1 hour of Stix2
1 hour of Wackytack
1 hour of 3L
and then just repeat

I was surprised the Creativity Life hour didn't feature the Basic Grey kits that they've had on previously, especially as CL will no longer be selling them.
You'd think they'd want to sell off the old stock and make the hour a damn sight more interesting than it was!

I also feel sorry for RM for being given the same old same old every time she's on. Dawn constantly has new kits so it's no wonder her shows have lots of sell outs.
Personally I think that RM has a much better rapport with the presenters than Dawn (although her and Catherine or Anthony make a good team), she even makes Alison and the awful JF watchable :eek: as they seem to be genuinely enjoying the show with her.

I can't believe I'm saying it but I like JF with RM as well- they seem to work well together.IMVHO AK should never be allowed within 2miles of a craft show ever again- she does my head in! :eek::mad:

Well i don't like that creativity lady, as I've said elsewhere, but to be fair she had put some good demos together even though all she had were a load of similar products. The only problem was that Sara kept ruining her examples and demos! She just spoiled the whole 2 hours that she was presenting, her manners were appalling.......
(must stop thinking about that,it really annoys me!!)
