In partnership with Sanrio, Craft Buddy reveals a three-part rollout in the U.K. for its Hello Kitty and Friends Crystal Art range.

This multi-stage launch offers fans a screen-free way to interact with Sanrio favorites, such as Hello Kitty, Kuromi, and Cinnamoroll. Each launch features high-quality, sparking versions of fan-favorite characters without the need for adhesives or complicated tools. 

Craft Buddy’s first phase brings a highly anticipated sticker collection for longtime fans. The Hello Kitty and Friends Crystal Art Sticker Album Starter Pack creates a perfect entry point for collectors, featuring 102 stickers and a 20-page album. Fans can expand their collections with the Hello Kitty and Friends Crystal Art Sticker Pack, an individual mystery pack containing three stickers. 

Phase 2 brings portable fandom through character-driven accessories and display pieces. The launch includes Crystal Art Buddies, Crystal Art Bag Charms, and Crystal Art Scrolls. In Phase 3, fans can expect creative keepsakes, including the Crystal Art Secret Diaries, the Mega Activity Set, and the Crystal Art Cards.

Hello Kitty fans can grab the first phase today, with the rest launching at a later date. For more information about the Hello Kitty and Friends Crystal Art range, visit craftbuddyshop.com.
