Katy Sue Designs Wholesale

Katy Sue Designs is a British brand based in South Shields that designs and manufactures silicone molds and materials for card-making and mixed media. The brand is best known for its detailed silicone molds.

The Katy Sue Designs brand

Katy Sue got its start in 1993 at the kitchen table of founder Sue Balfour and her mother. Today, the company designs its own products and manufactures them in its own factory in the United Kingdom. Since 2025, it has also included Cosmic Shimmer at Katy Sue Designs.

Silicone molds by Katy Sue

The brand is best known for its detailed silicone molds, including the Flower Pro line for flowers. Customers press clay, fondant, resin, or casting compound into the molds to create highly detailed figures. Thanks to the flexible silicone, the figures can be easily removed from the molds.

Decoupage and Card Kits

In addition, Katy Sue Designs makes products for card makers, such as 3D die-cut decoupage and card kits. With die-cut decoupage, the images are already pre-cut, so customers can layer them onto the card without having to cut them. The kits contain everything needed to make several cards.

For cake decorating, cards, and mixed media

The stencils are used for card making, mixed media, and cake decorating. As a result, the brand appeals to various target audiences: the card maker who creates decorations, the mixed-media artist who works with embossing, and the cake decorator who makes fondant figures.

Mixing Katy Sue

Figures made from the molds are often finished with paint, powder, or metallic polish. Cosmic Shimmer’s products are a great fit for this. You can also combine the molds with cards, linen-textured cardstock, and glue so that customers can create a complete project.

Tips for Your Store

Display finished figures made from the molds: the level of detail will win over customers more quickly than the mold itself. Group molds by theme—such as flowers, Christmas, or borders—and place matching materials next to them. Check out our selection as well silicone molds.

Working with Silicone Molds

For cards and mixed media, customers often use modeling clay or a quick-drying paste in the mold. For cake decoration, fondant or chocolate works well. Tip for your customers: A little cornstarch or a brush with powder in the mold will help the figure release easily. After it dries, they finish the figure with paint or a metallic sheen.
