STAMPLICITY NEWSFLASH for July 13, 2009

The biggest news we have to share with you is what Spellbinders are up to regarding their Nestabilities These products are going to blow everything else out of the water!! Recently they introduced 8 new Pendant and 8 new Borderbilities that compliment each other for card making (although just not limited to cardmaking). We got 7 of the 8 pendants in and no Borderabilities. All the ones we didn't get in are on back order for about a month I was told.

Effective July 9th they are bringing out 17 new one and if you go into and then their blog, everyday they are introducing another one of the 17. Their blog is amazing with samples of the new nesties that they are introducing daily as well as cards featuring existing nesties If you logon today (July 13th) you can see the first 6 new ones, Nesting Pine Tree, Poinsettia (love it), Floral Stone Impressabilties, Ribbon Labels 5, Labels 5 and Labels 8. Can't imagine what's coming next.

Stamplicity is taking pre-orders for all the new ones. You can email me to pre-order the ones not available yet or come in to look at our vast inventory of existing ones. We place orders once a week to try and keep up with what gets sold. Brenda's sample boards of all the Nesties and Cuttlebug dies and folders that we stock will either help you make a decision or drive you crazy trying to decide which ones to get. The boards are top notch and customers are raving about them. There is some great news regarding the Nesties we are carrying. The price for most of the larger nesties was $31.95. We have now brought that price down to $29.95. As far as I know these products cannot be purchased at Michaels or Wal-Mart right now.

Something to be aware of with the Spellbinders Impressabilities is, if you buy the new product we are carrying...FOILS...and use them in your Cuttlebug, you only need to put one shim or piece of cardstock in the sandwich when you pass it through the machine to emboss due to the thickness of the foils. We currently have the foils in red, gold, and copper. Love this product. Check it out, as well as the other new product ...Plastic...on my website under Products page to see samples of cards we have made with these 2 new items.

One other bit of information regarding a certain nestie, Flower Creations 2, has been discontinued if you can believe that. I can't get any remaining stock of this anywhere and have talked to Spellbinders and they have confirmed it is not longer available. I don't know how much my 2 cents is worth but I told them they should bring it back as it is an amazing nestie! If you find it anywhere, grab it.

In regards to the new Cuttlebug folders and dies that many of you have pre-ordered once again Provo Craft has shifted the date when these will be available. Now they are saying not till late September. This doesn't surprise us at the store as we have gone through this many times with their products. Something new again coming out from Provo Craft that they are introducing at the Retailer show on July 25th is called the "Gypsy". To date we know nothing more than that about it. Their marketing ploy is amazing and if you check their site you'll understand what I mean. Stay tuned, we will try to find out what this new product is all about.

We have new glitters coming in the near future and the Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel that we have is just amazing. Colours such as Blue Moon, Burnished Rose, Lilac Haze, Champagne Blush, Cheetah Sheen, Aztec Marble, and Apricot Parfait are lovely to put on your Cuttlebug, Sizzix and Spellbinders die cutouts, chipboard, buttons, plastic, etc. As well, you can stamp in your embossing while it is still hot and it will not harm your stamps at all. Brenda has made up a class on this product due to it's popularity. The class should be on the site shortly.

Just a reminder about the "Sweet Deals" for the next couple months. You can check July's (Ribbon Dispenser and Spooler Kit) and August's My Favourite Things Stamp set (Tote-ally Fantastic) on my site. For September we are offering the House Mouse Stamp line at 30% Discount on any number of stamps you wish.

Bancroft "Stampfest" is this Sat. the 18th and we'll be there with our booth and Sandy and Bryan doing make and takes. We will be bringing a great supply of Stampscapes stamps as Bryan's make and take will be using the stamps with a very different technique. Products featured are Distress Inks and the Ink blending tool. You can check for a picture of Bryan's M & T but we just decided on Sandy doing one, so that info is not on their site. We'll make it a surprise! I'll be making a side trip while on the way to Bancroft and stopping in at Ecstasy Crafts to stock up on new 3D and anything else that catches my eye.
Don't forget to visit Port Colborne for the Canal Days long weekend event July 31st to August 3rd. Check out We will have extended hours but I will be closed on Mon. the 3rd to have a little bit of fun myself.

With the retail convention happening you can be assured we will be looking at new papers, stamp companies etc. I get overloaded with companies emails regarding the lastest and greatest in the market. Stay tuned for lots of news on that. Hope to see you at Bancroft, Canal Days or just sometime throughout the summer. Lots available for stampers and scrapbookers at STAMPLICITY.
