PREORDER the new Cuttlebug folders now!

I am taking preorders on the NEW CUTTLEBUG FOLDERS due to be released at the end of July: Spiderweb, Boo To You, Skeleton Scroll, Pumpkin Harvest, Autumn Type, Winter Village, Holly, Lace Tree, Christmas Ornaments, Joy & Cheer, Snow Dots, Argyle, Floral Screen, Houndstooth, Leafy Branch, Bird Call and Forest Branches. I also have the A2 FOLDER/DIE-CUT COMBOS. These are very cool. They include an embossing folder and a set of die-cut sentiments.

Lily & Milo update: I have another order of the original Lily & Milo designs coming shortly. So if you've ordered an out-of-stock design, I'll have everything back in stock shortly and you'll be getting your stamp(s).

More preorders in the store: the WIZARD embossing and die-cutting machine from Spellbinders is available at an awesome price. Coming soon: the CROP-A-DILE BIG BITE! I will have this an an amazing price, as well.

TAKING PREORDERS on new Rachelle Anne Miller stamps!!!

I am taking preorders on the 19 new Rachelle Anne Miller designs. These stamps are currently scheduled to be released in late July. Check them out by clicking here.

I've got the SCOOP!!!

AVAILABLE FOR PREORDER NOW!

Rachelle Anne Miller has just completed the next 19 images in her line for Stampavie and 7 KIDS is the first in the US to tell you about it!!! See the new images now!

Heidi at Stampavie told me that it takes about 6 weeks or so to have the stamps manufactured. So with shipping and such, these stamps will probably be going out to retailers (like me) at the end of July. Woo Hoo!!!

Nestabilities, Pink Cat Studio and a new Sue Nelson card!

PINK CAT STUDIO
At a customer's request, I will now be carrying Pink Cat Studio stamps. These stamps are unmounted and come on a sheet for you to trim. Stamps packaged this way will SAVE YOU MONEY! Mount them with EZ Mount static cling cushion or Tack It Over & Over. Look for them in the store soon! If you would like to see the store carry your favorite stamps or supplies, let me know! I want to carry the items you want to buy (obviously)!

NESTABILITIES
NESTABILITIES are in the store now available for purchase! I've got them on order and they will be in next week. I've got the classic oval, oval scallop, circle, petite scallop circle, classic square and classic rectangle. If you want a Nestie that I don't have available, contact me, I will order it for you!

NEW STAMP SETS
Also added to the store this week: Fancy Pants' new 12x12 sets DOODLES & THINGS and CREATE-A-CALENDAR.

 

LILY CARD
Awesome card Sue! This card uses Lily - A Day at the Beach and the Tiny Bubbles Cuttlebug A2 Folder. I recommend using Bazzill Smoothies and Neenah Solar White papers. Click on the card image to see a larger, more detailed format. 

Our first EXCLUSIVE design from Sue Nelson!

We have new card design ideas coming from Sue Nelson (www.heartprints.net) shortly, but here's the first one! Sue is using the Lily - My Little Friend (IN STOCK NOW) to create this incredibly adorable card. I love the little bows tied in her hair. The image is mounted on a card that has used the Swiss Dots Embossing Folder (in stock when Provo Craft gets around to sending it).

The scalloped oval and regular oval are punched, but these could be done with Nestabilities.*

It looks like Lily might be into sparkles...her shirt looks like it has some Stickles on it! Diamond, Crystal, Frosted Lace, Stardust or Icicle would be awesome for this project. What little girl doesn't like glitter?!

As always, click on the image to see a larger, more detailed version of this card.

*I am going to be putting Nestabilities in the store in the next few days. Expect to see a great price on these!!!

Some A2 folders not shipping

I sincerely apologize to anyone who has preordered or newly ordered the birds & swirls, floral fantasy or swiss dots. These folders were on my order when it was processing, but when it shipped, they were moved back to the backorder. This is very disappointing to everyone, I know. I feel just sick about it. I have contacted my sales rep and am waiting to hear back from her about why this happened. I will post an update on the blog when I hear from her.

I just got an e-mail from one of my customers on this subject. It gave me a chuckle, so I'm posting it here:

Well, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t disappointed but I’m not suicidal. I saw something today that said, “If it isn’t in the scrapbook, it didn’t happen.”  LOL We just won’t put this in the scrapbook. 

Hang in there, girlfriend!

Thanks Mary! I definitely needed a laugh. Of course, if I adopt this saying, the last eight years of my life didn't happen!!! And, considering the fact that I've been living with at least one teenager (now two teenagers) for the last three of those years, that doesn't seem like a bad motto!

UPDATE: No particularly spectacular reason for the folders not shipping was offered. I was told "They didn't ship. We'll ship them as soon as we get them in."

UPDATE #2: Floral Fantasy just shipped to me today!!! Now, we're just holding out for Birds & Swirls.
