Holiday Hero Arts In Stock!

Howdy Everyone!  

Are you getting in the Christmas spirit!  Well, even if you aren't quite ready for Christmas yet, it's never too early to start planning!  We all know that Christmas cards and projects may take awhile to work on, so we brought in the holiday Hero Arts collection so you can get your projects started!  Pictured here are the new stamps in the Holiday Catalog along with some of your old favorites from last year.

 Stop by soon for best selection!

New Mini Sentiments!

OK- I apologize for the sideways photo... I can't seem to figure out how to correct this problem as it looks right side up when I upload it!  Anyway, just tilt your head to the right and you'll see it correctly.. LOL!!

Just wanted to show you that we have some new mini sized sentiments in the shop now!  Yay!  Finally got some smaller sized sentiments for card makers!!  Woo hoo!  Smaller sentiments come in a variety of colors and sayings.  Come and check out your favorite sentiments and pick them up today!

Pssst...

Shhh, don't tell anyone but I couldn't wait till the next newsletter to let you know that Debi & I are planning Stamp Camp #3!  This will be our final Stamp Camp for the year, so we decided to make it a Christmas Stamp Camp!  All projects will have a Christmas/Holiday theme. We are so excited to start seeing some of the holiday items coming into the store and are planning our projects around them.  We haven't figured out all of the projects yet, but when we do, we'll post some photos so you can see what you'll be learning.

New Memory Box Dies In Stock!

I'm in love with these new Memory Box dies!  I'm really into birdies now days and love love love cute birdcages, so these were a surprise to see when I visited the store recently!  In addition to these cuties, we also got in some of their new leaves, flourishes, etc.  Many of them are Christmas themed, which are perfect for upcoming holiday projects!  These will go quickly, so hurry in if you want to snap these up!

New Class- This Saturday!

Are you free this Saturday?  Wondering what you'll be doing?  Shopping, crafting, nothing???  If you are free, you might want to check out Debi's new class featured here...

Students will make three projects focusing on how to use and coordinate printed papers and make your own background paper!  Believe it or not, there is a formula to this.  What you may think is chaos using multiple printed papers, may not be so challenging when you stick to the formula.  Students will leave with two cards and a tile coaster!

Cost:  $18

New Hawaiian Products!

If you haven't been in the shop lately, you are missing out!  Tons of new products have arrived  recently that its too much to share in one post.. I'll post more later this week...  But for now, wanted to share some new Hawaiian themed products by Island Paperie, including new Hawaiian themed stamps!  These stamps are perfect for cardmakers and coordinate well with their paper line.

Speaking of paperlines- check out some of their new designs!

More product hitting the shelves soon, so stop by to see all the goodies!

Customer Samples

In case you haven't been to the store in awhile, thought I'd share some samples from our beloved customers!

First up are a couple of Memory Box samples by Don Barnes.  Thank you Don!  He used the popular butterfly and added some dragonflies, woodland branch, petal party, and savannah border dies.

This second card was made using the swirly tree die along with some Island Scrapbooking mini sakura laser cuts.  He paired it with some cork and a Love sentiment also by Island Scrapbooking.

And we also received this cute sample from Carol T. using Paper Smooches stamps, Doodlebug paper and an EK success punch.  Thanks Carol!

Hope you are having a great week!
