Aisla's Crafty Creations was born back in 2018 by Sarah, here's her story.

When I was at Uni studying a Business Management Degree. I've always been one for keeping busy and although I was a full time student, a wife and a Mum, I needed something else to keep me going. Designing and creating as always been a passion of mine, it started off as an hobby and it soon dawned on me that I could actually make a business out of doing something I love, The flexibility of being my own boss allows me to pick my own hours and work around my family commitments. I didn't have access to a large cashflow to get me started, so I started with just a few quid making memorial baubles one Christmas. I made £300 over a 4 month period and invested it and bought my  first Silhouette Cameo cutting machine.

​

I began selling water bottles, notebooks, cute little keyrings and baubles, it kinda worked because my kids were still young and loved this kinda stuff so it was easy to sell to friends and local people. Then I realised there were so many hobbyists' on social media offering these kind of products at very small prices, that I simply couldn't compete with if I were to make a proper living out it. I would need to specialise and  focus my energy on one specific industry. After months of research it became clear there was a huge gap in the market for quality bridal gifts. Again there are a lot of hobbyists' on social media doing this kinda stuff, but the amount of negative stories I read about poor quality, people being ripped off, paying for stuff and never actually receiving them! I knew I could offer affordable, quality goods where people could buy with confidence knowing they're in safe hands.  

 

This is when I fell in love with the wedding industry and everything love related. Love is something that should be celebrated, it's a beautiful thing, it's what brings us together and where memories are made.

​

This was the big game changer, life was never gonna be the same again!

​

Where did the name 'Aisla's Crafty Creations' come from?

My name is not Aisla ((shock)), Aisla is my beautiful 7-year-old niece. I named my business “Aisla’s Crafty Creations & Printing” because Aisla was the first girl in the family for over 20 years! But why I didn't use my own kids names? Let me explain...

​

Ok, so my name is Sarah, I’m 36-years-old, born and bred in Doncaster, South Yorkshire. I'm married to my best friend Simon for the last 9 years, we have 2 amazing boys, Evan (17) and Kyran (13). Hence why I didn't use their names, they would cringe with embarrassment!

​

Where can you shop with us?

Etsy

We have been selling on Etsy for 3 years now and I'm not gonna lie, there's no doubt I couldn't have been as successful as I am today without the platform and I will be forever grateful.

eBay

Is where I first starting selling, way back when I thought it would be an easy ride. If only I knew back then what I know now I would have gone in with much more preparation. 

Amazon

2024 we have decided to spread our wings a little further and offer our products across one of the world's most popular ecommerce platforms, Amazon. We're so excited to see where this journey will take us, watch this space coz we're gonna take over the world!! haha!

​

Present day.. 

I never ever imagined that I would be sitting here 5 years later with a booming business that I genuinely love! I feel so lucky and honoured to get this far and the future excites me! I have so many ideas floating around in my head that I want to put my magic touch on and continue to make people smile.

​

Special Thanks

I’m so lucky to have such a loving family and friends that continue to support me along my journey, I honestly couldn’t do it without them.

I would like to say a special thanks to you, my supporters, my followers, my amazing customers, without you there would be no Aisla's and without Aisla's, I wouldn't be living my dream, so thank you from the bottom of my heart. 

​

If you have any questions please feel free to reach out, I'm always about.

​

In the meantime I will continue to look forward to designing and creating more amazing products and building great relationships along the way.

​

Much Love, always
