About Us

My name is Rob Jackson and I am part owner of John Arnold Publishers Ltd, an Arts and Crafts publishing business. Since the birth of the internet John Arnold Publishers had constantly been alerted of crafters copying and selling John Arnold artwork on the internet illegally. A similar thing had happened in the music industry. To fight back, the big music companies decided the only way to beat the copyright pirates was to embrace the technology and build websites where customers could legally download music for a small fee. The John Arnold copyright abuse was becoming more and more difficult to police. It was during this policing that I came up with the idea of a legal multi download craft website, a digital crafting shopping mall that would service crafters all over the world. I realised that if customers can download images then they can just as easily upload them.

I invited crafters to sell their craft projects on the Craftsuprint website and I would pay them a commission every time they had a sale and in July 2008 Craftsuprint.com was born.

In January 2009, Neil Fryer, our IT wizard, joined the team and we have never looked back. March 2009 was the launch version 2 of the Craftsuprint website and we very soon became the Number 1 craft website in the UK. One year later, in January 2010, our resident Crafty Chap, Crafty Bob was introduced and the Crafty Bob Treasure Hunt & Crafty Bob's Free Cash Bingo has become crafting folklore. Version 3 launched in February 2011 incorporates different crafts like knitting, scrapbooking, cutting files, designer resources and selling finished hand made cards. Our new website offers you something different, an endless supply of new and innovative craft creations designed by some of the world’s top digital crafters. A friendly craft community with fun & games including, Crafty Bob’s Bingo, Crafty Bob’s Treasure Hunt, Big Money Card Competitions, Arcades, CUP TV and one of the friendliest bunch of Crafters & Card Makers you could ever wish to meet in the UK’s fastest growing Craft Forum.

Once again thank you for taking the time to visit this website, I hope you enjoy it enough to tell your friends and fellow crafters all about it.

Many thanks
