Copic Pens

These markers are a must for anyone that likes to color.  Many of the designers use these pens since they are so versatile and the fact that you can blend colors easily and get professional results in little time.  I have searched the Internet and found several sites on  You Tube for beginners and how to use the pens.  Of the two that are out there one is very involved and the second is not as complex and works best for beginners.  Not that you really need to view them, but I did pick up several points that I found of benefit.  At the store we will be forming a copic club.  This will enable you to get basic pens in order to create wonderful cards and embellishments for you pages.  Keep checking the blog for updates on the club.  Will also post items of interest pertaining to the pens.

STAMPS STAMPS AND MORE STAMPS!

Hi ALL,

It appears that my life has taken on a new meaning.  By that I mean that stamps are every where I turn.  As some of you know I had some gently used stamps for sale last week.  Boy, once the word got out people just kept coming.  Well I thought I was done and on Saturday I was re organizing the supply room and guess what?  More stamps showed up!  If I didn't know better I would have thought that they were multiplying back there.  In any case I have more stamps so come on in.

Also have gotten some great new Quickutzs in for Easter.  They are just great!  And did I mention that I am going to have a blow out sale of all the Quickutz Squeeze tools!  Yep, as you know Quickutzs is discontinuing production on them  DON'T PANIC-  THE 2 X2 ARE NOT, I REPEAT NOT GOING OUT!  Just the Squeeze tool itself.  Once gone you will have to use the Revolution tool to cut with them that is much easier and you can put at least 4 down at a time to cut.  Back to the sale.  I am selling the squeeze for the insane price of $29.99.  That also includes the one set of alphabet letters that comes with the tool itself.   Normally this retailed for 79.99. a big savings.  But when they are gone they will be gone.  So if you love your squeeze, or want to get one come on in.  It is truly a great deal.

More and more papers and embellishments are coming in daily.  I just got an order in from 7 Gypsies with their new electric punch.  Talk about easy!  come on in and demo it if you don't believe me.

I also have ordered more Moose "Riley" stamps.  They are on their way in.  Mellisa took some pictures of some of the great designer cards that Krissy of Hana Stamps sent to me with my order.  They are making a big splash in the valley and going as quick as I put them out.  In addition Krissy has come out with a paper doll set this month that I ordered.  Just think about all those outfits you can make out of your scraps, and the kids- boy will they be happy !

You will have to just come in to see it all.

YESTERDAY CARD CLUB CLASS

The card class was yesterday.  I wanted to let Mel know that we all had a great time.  I really enjoyed the book we made.   It was just fantastic.  Thank you Mel, great job!

 We talked earlier, prior to class about Copic pens (Mel and I).  I used them at CHA and fell in love with them.  For those of you that don't know about them they are fantastic.  I am having a hard time stocking them, because I blew my budget on papers and stamps, but am trying to find a way to have you get some.  These pens are refillable, and you can replace the tips.  So it is a one time thing,  very green friendly.  We have way to much plastic in the world without recycling and keeping down the cost.  What a great idea.  I will keep you up to date on what I plan to do, in the mean time check out copic.com and check them out.  They make card making a whole new experience.

Have got to get some sleep, it is almost 2 am and my mind hast to to rest.
