The new Texture Fades embossing folders by Tim Holz are going to be very popular! His designs are distressed, so the depth of the impression fades in and out over the cardstock. I am thinking Father’s Day cards with the Basic Grey Origins paper and the Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels Eleven. But which Texture Fades do I choose??

Have a great Memorial Day weekend and don’t forget to use your coupon before Monday night! As a reminder we will be closed on Monday and reopen on Tuesday at 10am MST.

The NEW 6×6 Basic Grey pads just arrived! We have the Basics in White, Manilla and Kraft. Don’t let the name fool you as these basics are anything but blah! The Basics collection gives you three different color themes to choose from in classic ledger lines and script.

Next we have  Cappella! This line captures old world elegance and would look great with your vintage cards and layouts. With its Italian flair, this paper is going to be very popular for weddings and anniversaries.

And for the animal lover in all of us, comes Max & Whiskers! Paws to enjoy this bow-wow bounty of purr-fectly pet filled papers that is certain to delight! The color palette includes shades of brown, black, aqua and orange.

Our first shipment is certain to go quickly, so place your order now!

Thanks,

Marcie

Just arrived! The new Basic Grey paper, Bling, Bling-it On and Opalines! I am loving this new Basic Grey release and I am sure you will too! So let’s get started with a few of my favorites.

Basic Grey goes green with the Green At Heart 6×6 paper pad made of recycled paper. The colors include pinks, reds and greens on florals, dots and stripes.

The other 6×6 paper pad is Kioshi. It has an oriental flair with eastern designs on cool colors of lavender, pink, aqua and yellow.

We also have the new Bling and Opalines. Here is a sample of some of my favorites:

I am so excited about the ampersand. I can just see a layout with two names cut out of my favorite alphabet joined with the ampersand in the middle! Very elegant!

And here are the new rub-ons, the Bling-It Ons, in black and a brand new color – white:

The white is going to look stellar on a dark, pearlized paper! And nothing is better than basic black.

I will have more Basic Grey coming in late April, but for now, have fun with these.

Thanks,

Marcie

Well readers, I made it back from not so sunny California and have been busy getting the store ready for the new releases! Most of my vendors are shipping their new product in February. Spellbinders had a great response to all their new dies, and they had to place a second order to China while I was there. Their first shipment is going to be spread pretty thin over all their distributors and stores, and the second shipment will not be arriving until mid April. So what does this mean? You may want to consider pre-ordering if there is a die or two you HAVE to have right away. Otherwise you are taking a chance on not getting in on their first shipment.

In other news, I saw the Cricut cake. For those of you who have ever wanted to have a business of cake decorating, this is for you! It cuts fondant! I saw the most beautifully decorated cupcakes! I also saw Ellison’s new digital machine Eclips. I will have that available for pre-order soon. It will be a special order item and I will be pricing it at $399.99 (reg price $499.99). They have some new TI’s coming out which I love, as well as more dies. I saw the new Provocraft folders and dies. They are doing a bundle with this release with some of their new folders, and they won’t be sold separately. The good news is that you get a better value, but the bad news is there may be a folder you don’t like in with ones you do, and in order to get the ones you like you have to get the one you don’t! I ordered a bunch of the new Petaloo flowers. They have a wedding line coming out with white and silver jeweled florettes. Gorgeous! Also, they heard all you scrappers out there and have large daisies for your 12 x 12 pages in the most brilliant colors.  So I will be having a sale on some of my Petaloo embellishments to make room for the new stuff.

OH! I saw the new Basic Grey paper: Green at Heart, Kioshi, Capella and Max & Whiskers. The Green at Heart is a must have!! LOVE the pinks and greens. The Kioshi is all about having a Zen experience with clean lines and soft colors. Capella is for your formal layouts and Max is a really fun dog/cat theme in bright colors. I also stopped by and saw My Minds Eye new paper. The Quite Contrary line is really darling, again, in the greens and pinks, however, they don’t have the kits with this line and open stock is really hard with an online store. So I will probably just be carrying the kits. Hands down, my favorite paper is the vintage line from G45.

I think that’s it for now. I will review my blog posts and see if I missed anything. January is almost gone, so don’t forget to use your coupon.

Thanks,

Marcie

So I have finished visiting all the booths and my feet are killing me, however I have some wonderful NEW product news and highlights of the day at the Craft and Hobby Association for our customers that you all will love!

Spellbinders
Spellbinders Paper Arts BIG announcement was their brand new machine, “Presto Punch“.  This is the first automatic punch and embossing system and is REALLY cool! This is a perfect machine for any that have arthritis or even a beginner as it is so easy to use. You can cut & emboss and store 30 punches all in one PUNCH! It is battery operated, but they will be coming out with power adapters for the U.S. and International that will be sold separately. We already have this on our Pre-Order page and ALL the Punch Templates too. At only 62.99 (cut@home price) it’s affordable and only weights about 4 lbs making it portable too! All I can say is what a FUN machine and I’m really impressed with the QUALITY!

Scor-Pal (Scor Pal)
I saw the new Scor Buddy. This is like your best friend that can ALWAYS be with you and go where ever you go, including your cropping parties. This is a mini scor-pal that measures about 7″ long and basically does cards and smaller projects! Easy to use and super portable!

Basic Grey
Basic Grey is coming out with some AMAZING new paper pads: green at heart, pinks and green, florals (this one is gorgeous), kioshi (green, lavender, aqua colors).

Sizzix
Watched the DEMO of the new electronic die cutting machine called the “eclips”. REALLY neat!

My Minds Eye
They have heard customers and are releasing Lil Robot, which is a boys paper line and is really CUTE!

I’ll have more NEWS tomorrow!

Happy Scrappin!

Marcie

Just arrived! Nook & Pantry 6×6 Paper Pad! You are going to love the colors and nostalgic patterns! It reminds me of my mother’s kitchen in the 60′s with the browns, aquas and gold

Enjoy!

Marcie

I just received a few more of the new Bling It’s and Opalines. The Rhinestone Squares and Dots have some great fall colors in nutmeg/curry and tangerine/ruby that would look great on any of your harvest layouts or Halloween cards. What I love about these is the self adhesive! Sometimes I get a little lazy and don’t want to get out my glue pen (true confession!). The Lilac rhinestone squares are very pretty and the blush and teal opalines make for a very elegant look. I can see those on a baby announcement!

Marcie

Quickutz did something I don’t ever remember them doing. They discounted the Paper Doll collections that were just released this morning to 20% off MSRP. This includes the Paper Doll alphabet, the Cookie Cutter die set and all the 4×4 grand shapes (not the 2×2 shapes). This collection can be used for scrapbook pages, party invitations or cards. You can even personalize a paper doll set by using a heavy cardstock for the paper doll grand shape, then 65# paper from DCWV-Die Cuts With A View or Basic Grey for the outfits and accessories. Your paper doll will be the best dressed one out there! Here is a sample of what you will find in our new Quickutz new products section:

Thanks!

You will LOVE all the bling and paper we just got in! We are carrying the three new 6×6 paper pads in Eerie, Eskimo Kisses and my favorite – Indian Summer! The Bling It and Bling It On are great embellishments for anything you can think of! The Bling is hard to come by so if you think you want it, don’t delay. It is worth it! The 2010 Calendar Kit lets you make an 8×8 calendar either for yourself or it makes a great gift. We have limited supplies on hand so hurry and snatch this up if you think you want one. Here is a sneak preview:

                              

Have fun!

Marcie

The Basic Grey Opalines are finally here! We did not receive our entire shipment, so we will have more to choose from the middle of August. But what we do have is awesome! Opalines are half pearl shaped domes in four different varieties: Individual Half Pearls, Swirls, Tres Fleur and Viny Fleur. The colors are beautiful and you will love the nice sheen they have. What makes them so great is they are self-adhesive!

         

Thanks!

Marcie
