ABOUT US

Welcome to my website Kingcrafts.

My name is Joan and I was born in England in 1952 moving to New Zealand in 1973. My husband Denis and I live by the sea in beautiful Papamoa Beach on the East Coast of the North Island of New Zealand.

I have been involved in a variety of handcrafts over the years which includes making cane work and furniture and designing cross stitch and blackwork but these days my passion has changed more towards card making with a difference. I enjoy creating boxed cards for the discerning with many made to order using the Keepsake Embossing boards. This is a new form of embossing unlike the older style where one used a light box etc. A selection of some of the boards can be seen on my website and there is a range of boxed cards for sale under the heading ‘Elegant cards for the discerning’. If you have a craft group that would like to have a demonstration of the Keepsake Embossing boards feel free to contact me through the contact page. I also stock a good range of all different craft products and this range is always growing.

I am more than willing to give classes on a variety of topics at my home in Papamoa Beach if anyone is interested.

I also enjoy making wedding invitations, menus etc with a difference or a kiwi theme.

Another of my passions is Encaustic Wax Art. You can see some of the more abstract designs I have done under two separate headings on the website.

My husband is also interested in the Arts and Crafts and he specialises in landscape art with his own website www.denisking.com.
