We are a small, family owned business who began our journey into the paper crafting world in 2005. We opened our brick and mortar store in Sequim, WA, offering a large variety of popular, paper crafting, scrapbooking and art supplies. Ten years later, we decided to grow, and opened our online store. We are now exclusively an online retailer, continuing to offer the same great products and service that we provided from our Sequim, WA store for so many years.
We've had lots going on around here. We're getting ready for our Annual Holiday Workshop, stocking the shelves with new Holiday products, and creating lots of fun projects to display in the store. We're also putting together plans for our Small Business Saturday event. So, mark your calendars, we're holing our event on the Saturday after Thanksgiving NOT Black Friday. In case you've missed our blog posts or haven't been in for a bit, we thought we better catch you up. CLASSES We've finalized our Festive Tag Class. You'll find the details below: The class will be offered on December 5th and December 6th, from 11am until 3pm. The class fee is $40 and includes the Gift Tag Greeting stamp set. You'll need to bring your basic supply kit and 1/4 inch scor-tape. We'll be creating 16 to 20 festive tags to include on your Holiday packages. Don't wait, each class is limited to only 8 people. Here are a few samples of some of the tags you'll be creating. This stamp set is yours to keep after class. We also have a few spots left in our November Card Club. You'll find the details below: Card Club will be offered on November 14th from 10am - 12pm or 1pm to 3pm. The class fee is $8, we'll refund $5 if you spend $25 or more after class. Bring you basic supply kit, everything else is provided. We'll be using the NEW Mama Elephant Holiday stamps and dies to create the cards below. INSPIRATION We shared some cute cards created with some of Mama Elephant's new stamps and dies. Take a peek at them HERE and HERE. We shared a few pocket scrapbooking cards we created with our FALL BUNDLE. Take a peek at those projects HERE. NEW PRODUCTS The new adult coloring book, Lost Ocean by Johanna Basford should be arriving any day. These make great Holiday gifts! And to color those wonderful, detailed images, this set of markers. These are my favs! They have a fine tip and don't bleed through most papers! I use them in my planner too! I don't expect these to last long once they arrive. So, give us a call if you'd like us to hold a set for you. We're now carrying Prills! Watch the blog for some fun projects next week using these colorful little bits! In the meantime, visit this LINK for a great video from Jennifer McGuire using these. We're now carrying the Minc Machine and some of the fun accessories for adding foil to your paper crafting projects. We created some wonderful cards using these products. If you missed them, you'll find them HERE on our blog. Visit this LINK for a look at more NEW products on our website and in the store. Have a wonderful day!
