Newflashes STAMPLICITY'S LAST NEWSFLASH FOR 2009
As I typed that title I thought "sure Pauline, like nothing else will come up in the next month that you'll have to tell people about." Well, we'll see, but I think with the busy month ahead I won't have time for another one of these. The store is extremely busy between customers deciding their Christmas cards, making out their wish list, and shopping for gifts. The classes are great at the store and people are taking advantage of Sue and Brenda's talent to take a class or 2 to learn some new techniques. We have at least 6 different Christmas classes with a few using the Cuttlebug. If anything the Cuttlebug is gaining popularity and Brenda's innovative techniques are creating some gorgeous yet very simple cards.
Check out our site as we have added many new "Inspiring Stamping Ideas", "Inspiring Scrapping Ideas", "Customers Projects"" New Products", "Classes" and the "Home" page always has new info on it. For example, the new Canadian Scrapbooker Magazines which there are only 4 copies left of the Basics and the Scrapbooking. If you want to see pictures of the grandkids and their latest escapades you can find it there as well.
Starting December 1st please remember if you are shopping downtown Port Colborne parking is free for the entire month. Forget about those silly parking meters out front and here's another little piece of info for you for the new year; on the old meters that aren't digital, for 2 dimes you can get an hour. It's silly but if I'm parking out front for a bit, I always get that little bit of pleasure about feeding it 20 cents instead of 25 cents and still getting my hour. (Little things make me happy)
Some new products in the store are as follows:
Scissors for fine paper cutting .
They even work differently and don't tire your hands.
New class and peel stickers in sticky shapes .
You can see some samples of the cards I made with these stickers on the site. We currently have Christmas Ornaments, Snowflakes and a Happy Birthday script in the sticky shapes. I just wanted to see how good they are. I'm very pleased with the stickiness; glitter, gold leaf flakes and pearl-ex or perfect pearls hold extremely well so you'll see more in the new year.
Class & Peel stickers .
We have the biggest selection ever of gold & silver borders and corners as well as the recently new stacked designs in Christmas images, poinsettia and ornaments etc. Since you can colour in these stickers with gel pens, we have stocked up on the glitter gel pens as well. They look beautiful once done.
Golden glass bead gel .
This is a gel that you smooth on top of your coloured image and let dry. Once it's dry it looks like teeny tiny clear beads and gives your finished image a very different look. We are still experimenting with it in different ways and having fun.
Ruler for the score it .
This attachment allows you to do so much more with your large score-it. If you need something to put on your Christmas wish list the Score-it is a must have tool and put the new ruler on the list as well as you can do diagonal lines so easy with it.
Our line of Christmas stamps
is great and our last order of Penny Black for the season should be in this week. Make a note to get in ASAP to pick your stamps for your cards or tags as the selection is quickly leaving the store.
Sweet deal for December .
Come in and have a demo on the new Creatopia by Xryon. We have the machine in the store now and it's such a great price you won't want to pass up this deal. Check my site on the "Sweet Deal" or "Home" page(depending when you are reading this) for pictures of the Creatopia and on the Xryon site for the videos on it. www.xryon.com
Sweet deal for January .
Selected Magnolia stamps will be on at a 25% discount. My question to those interested in their line is, would you be interested in seasonal stamps such as Halloween and Christmas? I ask this as I will not be putting the entire line on at a discount as when I place an order with this UK Company, I must order each design in quantities of six. You can imagine the problem this would create for me if I opened it up to the entire catalog. Please email me if seasonal stamps is an option for you to purchase right now so soon after the holidays. I know it's always nice to plan your card for next year so I will consider putting some in the selection if I get enough response. This line of stamps is unmounted and the price for Tilda and Edwin for example, would be approx $9.95 with the discount. Check out their site to see what I'm talking about if you don't know their line. www.dreamcottage.nu/english1/. They make you smile. We have a few customers who have some already and have brought in cards done with them. Check out our site under "Customers Projects" Sylvia and Pat's work in particular.
Perfect Paper Adhesive
is a medium to mix dry pigments with such as Pearl Ex or Perfect Pearls. We are having fun with this method of colouring in images and will be setting up a class with this technique in the New Year.
This is for ladies who have the privilege of not working or being free during the day to take a class. Our classes are set up due to a customer's request so there might be only 1 or 2 taking the class. With this in mind to those of you who can take a class without much notice, if you want to be put on a list to be contacted about upcoming classes please let me know. I will send out a quick email on when the class is taking place plus will send you a picture of the cards you will be completing or direct you to the site to look up the details. For example, Sue has set up a class for Tues at 5pm till 7 for a Gold & Silver Christmas class. An unusual time for Sue but as you can see we try to accommodate our customers. Brenda, who doesn't usually work on a Saturday, just did a Cuttlebug class last Sat. I put out a note to certain ladies who I thought might be interested and we got 3 more sign-ups.

IMPORTANT TIP FOR SPELLBINDER USER's
Since the BorderabilitiesR and Shapeabilities PendantsR are so detailed, it's sometimes not so easy to get the paper out of the die template (especially the Fleur De Lis). Here's a little trick: I used a piece of wax paper from the kitchen! I made my normal cutting sandwich and added a single layer of wax paper between the die template and the paper, and feed my sandwich through my WizardT or CuttlebugT as usual. Then continue with your normal embossing sandwich and run through your machine. The wax paper is so thin it won't change the way the die template cuts or embosses, but it will allow you to remove the intricate die cuts without having to pull or tear.
Well, that's all I had noted for things to mention so as its Sunday I will now spend the balance of the day making my Christmas cards while Keith watches football.
A sincere Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of you, with a wish for safe travels on the roads.
Pauline, Keith, Shawna, Brenda, Sue and Janice.
