SPECIAL “END OF SEPTEMBER SPECIAL”ALL
WOODEN ALPHABET SETS ARE 40%
OFF Includes
items in-stock only, from now through Saturday, Sept 30th. Wow, what a wild convention weekend! THANK YOU all !!! For your support and enthusiasm. We really appreciate all of you. It was really great to see you again and exciting to meet all of the brand new folks who discovered us for the first time! It’s easy to spot new customers because it’s a dead giveaway when folks walk in the door and their eyes get real big and their jaws drop wide open. We left here quite exhausted and tired at 12:30 AM on Saturday night and managed to get to the Convention for a few hours on Sunday and saw even more friends there. Rabon survived his first ever convention weekend and did a marvelous job as MASTER OF CEREMONIES and gave away prizes every hour on the hour ALL weekend. It gets a little crazy around
here during CONVENTION weekend so I want to invite all of you out of town
stampers to PLEASE come back when
we can really have the time to SPOIL YOU! We
had lots of winners and ALL of their autographs are on a board on display
at the check out counter in the shop except for one of the winners of the
GRAND PRIZE. Beverly Simpson
was the first name drawn but she was not present at 10PM on Saturday night
and so she won a $50.00
shopping spree and at the present time she has not signed our board.
We kept drawing names until someone was present and the other Grand
Prize winner was Sandy Nolan. Congratulations
to ALL of our winners from everyone here at Stamps and More by Eleanor. IMPORTANT
NEWS We
learned a lot about the many ways you can use the CASTAWAY pad from Auntie
Amy’s store manager and demo artist… Jennifer, and we will be sharing
those ideas with you in our demonstrations and classes from now on too! We
learned a lot from the different vendors and we listened carefully to what
excited you and for what you have already asked for. It
helps for you to learn new ways to use existing and brand new products. We
could tell right away that you loved the look of the ANGELINA FIBERS
and…. GOOD
NEWS We
have already got the ANGELINA FIBERS in the store and now have an expert
DEMO artist on hand to show you even more ways to use this fusible fiber.
This is one of the easiest ways to take your card making to the
next level. Next time you are
in for a visit, ask my brand new husband and brand new stamper, Rabon to
show you how to use it. He
went to his first ever convention and got intrigued with this product and
has already been making some awesome cards using the die cut machine and
the fibers. He does a great
job with the demo too! The
other HOT item everyone was raving about was a simple technique using a
round sponge dauber with the new line of DISTRESS INKS.
We have the full line of 24 colors of DISTRESS INKS already in
stock now and have lots of the daubers on order and expect them to arrive
on Tuesday. Let us know how
many you want and we will save them for you.
I have already placed another BIG order to arrive after that one
because these are already being reserved in record numbers.
YES!!!
We have ordered MORE….MORE….MORE…. of the Ranger ACRYLIC DABBERS.
Thanks to LOVELY LINDA for her great demoes and our own StampDoctor, Susan
we have almost completely sold out of all 36 colors.
More are on the way and it would be helpful if you just gave us a
list of the colors you want …or in the case of a few customers…just
tell us to order 1 each of ALL of them and maybe we can satisfy the demand
for this great new product. The
cards that Susan made with just three colors and one HERO ARTS bold image
were spectacular. If
you attended or perhaps even missed our in store Convention Weekend
DEMONSTRATIONS featuring the microscope slides, Castaway, Distress
ink pads and alcohol inks, our staff teacher Linda Standart will be
teaching a class on Saturday, October 7th
aptly named "Mixed
Media and Microscope Slide Pendants” You
will gets hands on experience using the above mentioned products and
create THREE unique pendants ready to wear or give as gifts.
All supplies furnished $25.00.
Limit 12 Sign up soon. Please
Note that the CLASS TIME for this class is moved to starting earlier than
usual …at 9:30 AM to 12 NOON to give everyone time to finish before the
regular CARD CLINIC starts at 1:00 PM We
have just gotten in our OCTOBER stamp of the month selections from GREAT
IMPRESSIONS. Snowmen galore
and the cutest winter cards you have ever seen.
Come in early for the best selection.
You may even get this email before we have had a chance to call
everyone who has already reserved some of them because they are pulling
all of the orders as I am typing this. Our
STAMPINGTON & Company order was lost in “UPS nowhere land” before
the convention and is still missing but they sent us a replacement order
today. This one was missing
the TAKE TEN Autumn edition and I know a lot of you were waiting on it,
too. It was reshipped today
and sent three-day air at their expense so we will have them next week. If
you are on the reserve list we will save one for you and call you when
they come in. In the meantime
if you are a fan of their stamps take a peek at their website and see all
of the newest designs. We
have some of ALL of the following three collections in stock NOW. Imperial
Cargo by Lynne Perella (formerly known as the Acey Duecy Line) If
you want any of these new designs, let us know or better yet drop in and
see them for yourself. ALSO
in this order were more copies of BEYOND PAPER DOLLS and
SOMERSET WORKSHOP 2 , these both sold out really fast and everyone
who bought them loved it! ALSO…An
order arrived right BEFORE the Convention but AFTER I sent out the last
email …so you may not know about it. We
got in a big shipment of HANKO papers and Mizhuiki CORD.
The best selection of Asian origami papers and colorful cords that
we have ever had. We even got
some of their very popular cat stamps, too!
If you like the Asian or Oriental look and do origami you really
ought to come see these beautiful papers.
If you look closely in the HERO ARTS catalog you will see some
amazing textured cardstock used in the many samples.
We have that cardstock in several colors now too! 12
New Twinkling H2O colors are due to start shipping Oct 1.
Call to reserve yours today. We
already have a long list and our order will be in soon after they start
shipping. We have some exciting new
classes added to our schedule taught by Melanie Evans, Diana White,
Linda Standart and Kim Hellams. Be
sure to check out the class schedule regularly.
We will be adding more classes. Thanks,
