The Stix2 Challenge with Helen Kirkham Crafts

Posted By: Jordan 4th July 2024

A Scan and Cut expert, with an abundance of energy, and talent when it comes to crafting. Helen seemed the ideal candidate for our first Stix2 Challenge!

Helen Kirkham is a Freelance Craft Demonstrator who you may recognize from Create and Craft TV or her social accounts: @helenkirkhamcrafts1


Helen has kindly been a long-time supporter of the Stix2 Foam Pads & Hobby and Craft 3D Glue.

Recently she got in touch to stock up on her Stix2 crafting supplies and we thought why not throw in a few extra surprises to keep her on her toes?

As a fantastic and diverse Crafter, who frequently mixes up her materials and is no stranger to live TV with Create & Craft TV, we knew Helen would be up for a little Stix2 Challenge.

Along with ‘the usual’ order we pulled together a little mystery box, with the challenge of getting crafty with the surprise items, to see what she could create!

From Helen’s haul the following items where selected:

Carnival Transfer Foils

Foam Dauber

Crafting Sheet

Pink Glitter

White Spray Paint

Blue Sapphire Spray Paint

Micro Dots

Kraft bags

Cork Sheets

Craft Foam Strips

The challenge then was to create something gorgeous using ALL the fab Stix2 products provided. Easier said than done? – Not for Helen!

Now, HelenKirkhamCrafts is a pro, and pulled together a fabulous kraft bag design within 24 hours! – AND she even threw in a full How-To Tutorial, so you can craft along with her!


Bravo to Helen, and thanks for being such a good sport.

This was such a fun and exciting coloration for all involved – Hats off to Helen who came up to us with the idea, can’t wat to do it again.
