Stamp and Scrapbook Madness: This Week at Stamp and Scrapbook Madness

This week’s newsletter is a big one – so be warned.

New in Store

There is so much new stock in the shop that I don’t know where to start, most of last week was spent unpacking new stock and trying to find space for it!

We have had a huge order of American Crafts Thickers come in – including a great range of glitter ones too. Thickers are still priced from $4.95 so are excellent value. http://www.americancrafts.com/category.php?id=29 Also in are American Crafts Albums. We have both postbound and ringbound options available in a variety of sizes. http://www.americancrafts.com/category.php?id=21. Also new in are noodleboxes - perfect for gift giving (seee our new class belwo) as well as popular products back in stock - Cropper Hoppers and Crop-a-diles!

New papers

We have in store the just released Kaisercraft papers; What a Hoot http://www.kaisercraft.net/au-nz/scrapbooking-papers/themed-papers/what-a-hoot , Sakura Park http://www.kaisercraft.net/au-nz/scrapbooking-papers/floral/sakura-park and Waterberry http://www.kaisercraft.net/au-nz/scrapbooking-papers/floral/waterberry . We have also received top ups and new items from their off the page ranges, including 2009 calendars and some of their most popular Christmas projects; the Gingerbread Man Album and the Christmas Tag albums. Starting from only $5 these albums and projects make excellent and economical gift items.

We are also proud to stock two brand new lines from the very popular Pink Paislee – Tinsel Town and Sweet Cakes. These ranges are sure to be a big hit and sell out pretty fast. Check out the two ranges here: http://www.pinkpaislee.com/home.php?cat=6 or get a sneak peek of the Christmas range in our new noodle box class below. New Christmas papers have also been added as well as a new range of adhesive words from We R Memory Keepers which are ideal for decorating with Flock, Foil or Glitter. Also new in-store are some small ranges of cat, dog and travel themed papers.

Hot Christmas Cuttlebug Special.

Have you been thinking about a Cuttlebug – but not yet bought one. Well then we have a fantastic pre Christmas special for you. From now until Christmas you can purchase a Cuttlebug for only $129 and receive 80 sheets 6.5x4.5 Coredinations cardstock AND a set of 2 x 6 dies (flowers/ornamentals) This is almost $50 worth of value and a fantastic price. If you would like a demonstration of the Cuttlebug, feel free to come in and ask us to show you – or you could try one of our popular Cuttlebug classes to get a feel for the machine. These Cuttlebugs are due for delivery by the end of the month but you will need to order and pay a deposit in advance to make sure one is secured for you. You can find out about this and other Cricut and Cuttlebug promotions we are running at www.cricut.com.au
