Some Very Exciting News!


Creative Expressions is launching with Hochanda TV

Guess who’s been invited to join the new TV shopping channel Hochanda, dedicated to crafts, hobbies and arts for their launch on the Thursday 27 August, 2015? Yes, you’ve guessed it – Creative Expressions have and they can’t wait to be part of this exciting new channel.
Creative Expressions’ talented team of demonstrators will all be appearing on the new channel, so all look out for Sue Wilson, Phill Martin,  Julia Watts, John Lockwood.

Popular paper crafter John Lockwood will be kicking off proceedings with a ‘One Day Special’ showcasing two of Creative Expressions’ best-selling brands - Craft Dies designed by Sue Wilson
and Cosmic Shimmer Colour Cloud.  This beautiful collection of dies haven’t been demoed on TV before, so make sure you tune in to see John work his magic with these and the fabulous Cosmic Shimmer Colour Cloud Blending Inks.

Keep up with the latest news - check out Hochanda’s facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/Hochanda for the latest updates as you don’t want to miss this exciting launch.    If you are excited as we are, then make sure to ‘Like them’ too!

For those of you who don't do Facebook, here is a link to their website  http://www.hochanda.com/

My first shows are set for Sept 12th with an 8pm launch and then 5 more hours on Sunday!  I will be showcasing my Festive die release!  I am very excited about it!!  I will be putting up the details later on the right hand side of my blog.

Wow! How exciting is this? I can't wait to see what will be happening. I can't help agreeing with Pat L - I don't buy from C&C either, so it will be interesting to see the format. Good luck to you all. John showed me how to use the Cosmic Shimmer Cloud - absolutely fabulous!! Christine xx

WOW- That's super Fabulous NEWS!! A HUGE Congrats! You're gonna do really great! :)

Princess Pixie! said...

Evening Sue
That news has made my day. Sooooo exciting. The fact that it is going to be a channel on freeview is the icing on the cake.
Even though I still watch Create and Craft I do think that it has become a bit stale recently. A new channel is just what the doctor ordered.
We don't see enough of you and Creative Expressions so I hope this will be remedied.
Brilliant news.

Barbara said...

Fantastic news Sue!!!!!!!
It seems all the most popular companies are going over there, so far Indigoblu, Clarity and Chloe. I think this new channel will be a great success if they learn from all C&Cs mistakes and listen to the public.
Cant wait to see all the fab Creative Expressions team on the show.

Unknown said...

Great news . Hope all goes well for the launch. Cant wait to see your demos and products. Getting withdrawal symptoms.

Unknown said...

Oh wow, Sue, what fantastic news. Wonder where it sits with C&C as both come out of Peterborough? Can see a lot of time being used up when it first comes to air, and nice to know you'll be on in September. Have signed up for the newsletter so hopefully won't miss anything. Haven't mentioned it to Mr 'P' yet!! as have a feeling he won't have the same thrill level as me lol.

Hi Sue.
Brilliant news.Kitty.

Steph Cotterill said...

Am absolutly thrllled for you all. About time we had more SW on t.v.
The web was red hot and buzzing last night when news broke, in fact my phone lit up with texts and email's it was too hot to handle lol. At long last, something we've all been wishing for has come true.
Good Luck to you Sue and all at CE Towers.

Unknown said...

This is great news these people made a massive success with Ideal World and Create and Craft so one would expect this to work as well and the chance to have shares is very interesting with crafting being so popular.

So glad you are in at the beginning!!

ecco of Sheffield said...

This is one of the best pieces of news of this year.
It's about time that another Craft Channel was aired on TV giving others some competition.
Congratulations to CE and all the wonderful Crafting presenters.
Cannot wait to get back to the UK to see the actual shows.

Anonymous said...

Hi Sue. WOW What great new's and to see that the creative expression's team are on at the start. Hope you all get more time to demo instead of the presenter's butting in with up date's on stock all the time which is quite annoying when you are trying to follow a demo. It might give c/c something to think about when they have some competition from another crafting channel. It's what everyone has been waiting for. Wishing you and the rest of the team Good Luck on your new crafting journey.
Best Wishes.

Unknown said...

Hi Sue,
Wow! What great news - is this Hochanda an additional one to the new Craft Channel which launches on September the 14th?
I have been really interested to watch something new as C&C are getting very naughty. I have had a run in with them recently so will not buy from them ever again.
Great to hear that so much is taking off in the craft world and that Ideal world is about to lose a lot of it's audience!
Will definately be looking out for the new channel and retuning my TV after the 25th -off to FB to check it out.
Well done Sue!
Anne M xx

Jane said...

Hi Sue , Wonderful news ! Hope I can receive it here in Spain. Jane B.

Mrs B said...

Hi Sue. What great news. I am delighted for you all at CE, and for me too as I have Freeview so will be able to watch. I do hope that you will get to demo more and the p and p isn't as greedy as other channels! I am off to have a look at this new channel now as I hadn' t heard about it. Thanks for sharing this news with us. Take care xx

jean.phillips1 said...

Hi Sue, so excited about the new channel as I have got fed up watching Create and Craft and I only watch it now when you are on. Hope it is going to be a big success, can't wait for Thursday! Love Jean xxx

hazel young said...

Lovely news saw if on fb xx hazel

Unknown said...

Hi Sue I have been praying for this announcement.I find C&C no longer caters for the little crafter.I wish them well can't wait until Thursday. Gloria (Sidcup) xx

lydia jordan said...

Hi Sue,
How exciting! I will certainly be viewing, I'm afraid there's too much Tattered Lace and Crafters Companion on the channel now, I hardly watch it anymore. The variety has gone from the channel, it's the same old thing.
GOOD LUCK I'm sure it will be a huge success.

Carol Clarke said...

Hi Sue
Exciting news but what about us on Virgin - will we be missing out
So pleased for you all and I hope the presenters let you craft and not
talk about all and sundries - we can all see the products and know where
to buy them from - I know they have to advertise the products but it is
too much now.
Good Luck to you all
Carol x

Nananne said...

Congratulations ! Wonderful News!
Will it be on Freeview?

Nannieflash said...

Congratulations Sue, I sincerely hope you enjoy working with the new Team and the new Challenge is a Success for you and the Company. hugs Shirleyxxx

Sonia Stephenson said...

Fabulous news Sue - so looking forward to this :-) Hugs xxx

Anonymous said...

Hello Sue
This is such great news and I hope it means we will be seeing more of you and the CE Team.
I very rarely watch Cand C anymore, a few of the presenters voices are so boring and it seems to be dominated by just a few of the same companies.
I have Freeview so will be looking forward to tuning in on the first day and also to seeing you on September 12th and 13th.
Good Luck to you all for this new venture.
Lesley S x

Tressa said...

Wishing you and the rest of the team good luck in this new venture. I look forward to seeing all of the programmes. I only hope that this will also be shown on Virgin at some point as I am going to have to change to it in the near future.

Evis M said...

Hi Sue.
Lovely card.
I rarely watch C&C anymore as like many others I find it seems to be the same things been shown day in and day out.
There is only so much tattered lace, tonic and crafter's companion I can take.
I am looking forward to watching the new channel.
Congratulations to today's winner, Sandie.
Regards,
Evis M.

patwyn said...

Morning Sue

I like the design of this card but not sure about the colours. Sorry. i am looking forward to the new craft channel, hope you all have more time for demos than you do on C and C.

Congrats to Sandie. Enjoy!

FABULOUS news Sue.I very rarely watch C &C anymore. If I do I watch it with the sound turned down because I find the presenters soooo very annoying and unprofessional. I order all my dies and craft stuff from Julia Watts. It's so much faster and no p &p over £20. Good luck with all that you do. Best wishes Loraine jefferis xx

Anonymous said...

Morning Sue

This is great news. C&C really does need a wake-up call and I am sure this new channel will be excellent. I am a Virgin customer so I hope it comes there at some point but I will still be able to watch it on Freeview.

Looking forward to seeing all your dies in September.

Myra said...

Hi Great News! With Creative Expressions on Board I'm sure it will be a huge success. C&C are showing the same things again and again!
We have Cable TV but I guess that will come . Can watch on my iPad or tiny telly upstairs which has Freeview! Actually many would consider our main television tiny!! Lol. All the very best!
Love Myra xxxx

KT Fit Kitty said...

Woohoo! That's fabulous! Well deserved!

Joan D said...

Love this card,as it's such an unusual colour,and very uplifting. So happy about your news Sue, and all the lovely team. Can't wait.xxxxx

Lynn (delphinoid) said...

Good Luck to all at CE! Such wonderful news and I wish you all the very best for the future. I've set a reminder on my Sky box for the launch show so all going well, I'll tune in to watch.

I've watched C&C since the beginning and before when the craft shows were on Ideal World and I will continue to watch. I have never had any problems with my deliveries (touch wood) so I'm not going to moan about them because I don't have any reason to. I will just say though... I wish the deliveries were quicker because sometimes my orders have taken over a week to arrive.

Anyway, I hope the future is a bright one for you on Hochunda and your new venture is a good one.

Happy Crafting!!! X X :)

Jackie T said...

Hi Sue this is very excited news. Hugs Jackie

Wheely Bad said...

Hi Sue

This is great news. I like watching C & C but only occasionally order as price of p&p makes the discount useless on small items. Living only a county away my orders arrive between 2 days and 10 days! I will still watch when something interests me but the same merry go round of certain companies, some on a weekly basis does great. I feel Hochanda will offer more for me, being the multitasker I am and Mr W is delighted at the thought of fishing programmes!!!

I'm glad C.E. are there and I.B. tbh almost all my (paper crafts) products apart from a few are from either of those two. C.E. Do have an almost ridiculous array of DT talent... a bit like Barcalona in the football!

Anyway, I'm now on the Hochanda mailing list and I will have to re tune the free sat in case the sky box flops in the forecast weather for us in the East next week. Can't be too careful!!!

Hugs
