How it Started

Hi, I'm Claire — welcome to Blue Edge Crafts

I bought Blue Edge Crafts in June 2023, after working alongside its founders, Ian and Mandy, during their market-selling days. When they decided to retire, taking over felt like the natural next step — I'd already fallen in love with the craft and the customers.

Ian and Mandy started Blue Edge Crafts back in 2000, not long after moving to Adelaide from the UK. Mandy's lifelong love of crafting and Ian's background in electronics and computers combined to build an online paper craft store that's been trading for over 26 years now — one of the longest-running of its kind in Australia.

These days I run Blue Edge Crafts from my own workshop, still supplying the Australian-made card blanks and envelopes we're known for (made right here in South Australia), alongside a huge range of paper craft supplies for hobbyists, artists, photographers, and businesses. I trade online across Australia, and locally in Adelaide I also offer pickup by appointment — see our Delivery Costs page for details.

Thanks for supporting a small, independently run Australian business.

The Business

Our business is conducted as a complete on-line shopping business. We don’t have a physical shop front as our aim is to give everyone no matter where they are in the country the same shopping experience and allow anyone to purchase in the same way. For that reason, the Blue Edge Crafts website is the most important tool of the business and therefore has a great deal of time and money spent on it. We want everyone to feel confident in the simple and easy way that it works as well as feeling secure in the ways we accept payments and handle any personal information entrusted to us.

With a number of payment options there will be one you will feel comfortable with. If you do choose to use your Visa or Mastercard on-line you can be sure of it’s safety. Our web server is housed in an Australian data centre so your personal details as in your name and address etc are held there and nothing takes any of your information outside of Australia. This means that everything is bound by Australian law as all of our business is conducted in Australia with no employees or services being carried out from outside the country. 

When paying by credit card, the transaction is processed by eWay so your card details never come into contact with us or our server. Your personal details are all passed through our secure server for maximum security. We also accept PayPal and those payments are also secure and all conducted on the PayPal servers and not ours.

Wherever possible we purchase our goods and services from Australian businesses. Some products we stock, like our own white card blanks etc are all made by us here in South Australia. 

All prices are displayed in Australan Dollars (AUD$) 

Our ABN is 74 973 712 584
