More New Stuff

I got a new order the other day (and there is another one which should arrive today or tomorrow). While there isn't a ton of new to the market product, I have some new to me stuff and some old goodies.



Claudine Hellmuth has designed these stamp sets. There is a foam set which has the "base" for the stamp and then another coordinating set which just contains the matching outlines. I never used to use foam sets because they didn't stamp well, but I took an awesome class a few years ago where we stamped on canvas bags using acrylic paint and the foam stamps work so great with that. So, I wanted to try a couple sets and see how they work with Claudine's acrylic paint (which is incredible) and the Sticky Back Canvas (which I also love). Hopefully, I will have some samples to show. Eventually.


The blending cardstock for the Copic Markers. I will bring in the full packs (125 sheets for $60), but I'm also going to break open a package and sell the sheets for $0.55 each.



More of the bulk Mini Misters ($1.75 each) and I wanted to try these Craft Scrubbies ($5.00). I haven't heard of them before, but I saw them on the Ranger site when I was looking at projects. They are supposed to help get ink off your hands. I'll give them a try and let you know if they work, but I've found most Ranger products do exactly what they say they will do!


A couple Tim Holtz dies which fit in to the Ornament dies ($10)

I have a few Tim Holtz Snowflakes/Snowmen folders ($11.00).


The set of Copic Multiliners. These are such great black markers in a variety of thicknesses. ($21)

If there is something you would like, just post or email me and I'll put it aside for you and not sell it. Hopefully, I'll have some more cool stuff in a day or two!

An Order

I received an order on Friday and unpacked it today. It's always exciting to see what is in the box. I know that I should know what is in it since I ordered it, but it's still fun to see new product up close and personal. It's hard, sometimes, to see what something is really like from a small picture online.

I thought I'd give a small peek of a few things that were in my box.

Here it is all laid out. It wasn't a terribly big order, so not a lot of stuff.

I have a bunch of new Shimmer Sheets in stock now. I love the new iridescent colours (purple, dark and light pink, blue and light green). I also have red and green metallic.


I love these new embellishments by 7 Gypsies and Making Memories. I really like the Tim Holtz embellishements and 7 Gypsies has similar gears, except theirs have little gems on them for some extra bling. Then the Making Memories brads are just so sparkly. They're very cool.

I've started making my own glimmer mists. Tim Holtz posted directions on his blog. You put a dropperful of Distress Ink refill in a mini mister, fill it most of the way (leaving some room at the top though) with water and then put some Perfect Pearls in it. Put the top on and shake it up. I have tons of Tattered Angels and Smooch Spritzes, but I like these homemade ones too because they match the Distress Inks. I decided that I would bring in the mini misters in bulk so people could buy however many they wanted. I also got myself a couple more of the Mini Mister blocks so I can house all my new Glimmer Mists.


The new Spellbinders dies are out now too. I had some customers order the Half Moon Circles and Squares and the Beaded Ovals. They're very pretty.


Lastly, I ordered one of the new Tim Holtz Texture Fade sets. It looks like they've changed the packaging which I quite like. The old packaging had a long, tall package which was hard to fit in a box to transport. I like the new pillow pack.
I have some more stuff, but I'll leave it at that for now. I'll be putting a new order in soon and if there is anything you want, just let me know. Hopefully, I can get back to creating tomorrow after I do some invoicing and order stuff. I'm almost caught up to Eric's 4th birthday and I'm feeling motivated. I can see the end of his book in the near distance and I'm gearing up to reach it.
