Sale

If there is any one out there who is still reading our poor neglected little blog I thought I would let you know that we are having a 15% store wide sale today (no further discounts apply). Hope to see you.
Cheers,
Sue.

Just a little taste

of some of the new clear stamps that arrived today from Kaiser. They just keep outdoing themselves with their gorgeous new designs. There are many more styles in the store so pop in and have a look.

New today

Fresh off the truck are these gorgeous new offerings from Kaisercraft with more on the way. These stamps are gorgeous and would be perfect for both the card maker and scrapbooker. Hurry in and get them before I do :-)

There here

All those delicious cuttlebug embossing folders that we have waited so long for are now here and hanging on the wall. Choose from paisleys, dots, birdie swirls and many more. There are also a few dies in as well, including the very popular butterfly set that allows you to cut out your butterfly and then emboss it in several different styles. Another much waited on item has been the replacement blades for the zision paper trimmer. Come on in and check them out as they are moving quickly.

Back to blogging

Anyone who checks this blog will know that it has been sadly neglected of late, well not just of late but for quite some time,lol. I am happy to let you know that the Tim Holtz design rulers have at long last come off back order. These are selling really fast so if you want one let us know soon. Also coming off back order is the blades for the provocraft zissions trimmer, they will hopefully arrive int he store sometime next week, although because they are freighted from Queensland the truck drivers strike may push this back a little. There are a couple of the wonderful bind-it-all machines in stock as well. If you love to make your own mini albums, journals or gift ideas such as recipe books and calendars then this is the toy, I mean tool for you.
The wonderful Daz (Tan's husband) has also made a new paper rack for the store so keep an eye on it over the next few weeks as it starts to fill up with delicious patterns paper (a start has been made already). There will be a heap of new products being released onto the Australian market over the next few months after American CHA a couple of weeks ago. I have had a sneak peak at some of the products on various blogs and must say I am blown away. Just when you think the industry cannot possibly grow any more and come up with any new ideas, they tempt us with incredible new products and ideas.
O.K. we will try to make the next entry to the blog a little closer than last time,
until then, stay creative.

Winners are grinners.

Congratulations to Sharon for winning our birthday raffle yesterday. I'm sure she will have hours of fun with this basket load of goodies.

Scrappin' with Sue

This is Wednesday nights layout. I have done a Christmas page but you are able to chose any two double sided coordinating papers from the kaiser range to suit your theme providing the title can be kept to a three letter word, we could maybe squeeze in four but definatley no more. For this class you will need your basic kit plus a brown distress ink. The image may be clicked on to make it larger.

New stock

A quick note to let you know of some of the new products from Kaisercraft. There is a gorgoeus new bling range with words such as love, cute and cherish, amoungst many others, in both pink and silver. There is also new decorative brads, with a set to coordinate with every one of their new paper ranges, 27 so far. My favourite of all the gorgeous new products would have to be the black and white rubon range, these are stunning with 30 different sets to choose from. Some of these also coordinate with the papers. Unfortunately the computer is not letting me post images at the moment but as soon as it does I will put some pictures up.

New stock for December

New stock in for this month include the gorgeous new range of rub-ons from kaisercraft. At only $2.00 per packet and with 20 different designs to choose from I'm sure you'll find the perfect one for your next project. We also have new and restocked stamps from hero arts. Amongst the many other things new in the store we have green and red stazon ink, great for those last minute Christmas cards, sweet little Heidi Swapp jewel flowers and the cutest little felt flowers from junkitz.

Don't forget that we also do gift vouchers, a great Christmas present for the crafty person in your life.

Photo file box

This cute little file box is not only useful for your photos but would also be ideal to file away stickers, rub-ons etc or those dreaded bills. You get to choose the colours from the pattern paper available at the store. As this project will be getting a lot of use we recommend supertape as the cheaper versions do not hold well enough.

Basic kit required.

Bandaid Box Album-17th Oct

This cute little mini album would be a way to show off photos of the special miss in your life, or even to display photos of yourself. You will need to bring along 4 to 5 wallet sized photos or larger photos that are sutaible for cropping. You will also need your basic tool kit

Whoops, the ribbons again


Just a little taste of some of the new stock we have had in lately, gorgeous colours ranging from bright gelatis through to soft lattes and browns in products such as ribbons, flowers, buttons and cardstock.

Scrapbook organiser

For this class you will need your usual scrapbooking kit and some strong liquid adhesive such as pritt power glue stick, pritt power gel or scrapbookers glue. On the example shown here I have not pushed out the holes in the front right hand side for ribbon as I want to use this for storage of small items such as pencil sharpeners, erasers etc. this is totally optional. You can also choose your own colours out of the new kaiser range of papers.

Cards for August

As well as these three there will be a small gift type tag

Any one who wants more information on Josh and his journey can pop into the store.
