New Class: Introduction to In Colors!

Introduction to NEW In Color Class!

Sep 10
6:00 PM - 8:00 PM  (Eastern)

I don't know about you but I working with new colors!  I don't always have my own creative inspiration right off the bat with them but the more I play, the more I gain that comfort level with different color combinations!   This class will provide guests with the opportunity to do just that - see & play with the NEW 2013-2015 In Colors and make some handmade projects in the process!

Class Fee: $8

This adult stamp class will focus on making a few cards and one 3D item.  We will be using the 5 NEW colors and some new products launched in July's Idea Book & Catalogue!

Need to place an order - you will have an opportunity to do so at this class and save on the class fee. Place a minimum order of $40 and your class fee is waived! Don't need to order anything...that's ok too. Spend the night stamping with friends!

 

You can register for this class on my Business Website or by emailing me directly!

Prize Patrol!!

The first 2 people to come to my sale today and order a minimum of $50 from the Surplus Sale will be given one of the two prize baskets shown here! 

Prize baskets include 1) a double mounted wooden block with 2 rubber images 2) an ink spot 3) blank love notes 4) chocolate (!) and 5) a handmade item!

I've also taken the red pen to more items for further price reduction!!  Don't miss out!

A Great Night - But There's Still More!

Who's coming to see me tomorrow?

It was a busy Friday night and it was so great to see some familiar crafters plus meet some new ones!  If you're concerned that there might not be much left for tomorrow morning's sale...think again!!

These pictures were taken after my sale closed tonight!

Cash & Carry Items - Wow!

All items described on this post are cash & carry items!

Scrapbook Bundle - just $20 and includes 6x6 album, full package of coordinating buttons & rub ons!!

 



 

Lots of Cardstock and a few Bundles with Ink Pad & Marker left!

 

Needed to purge my scraps storage so I've bundles up a bunch of each color family!  Great for little projects, to have just a bit of a certain color or for kids use!

Everything in this bin is $5 (per item)!  Singing Christmas Cards, Ink Pads, Buttons, Stampin' Around Wheels and an A La' Carte Stamp!!

 More scraps of cardstock and ribbon!  $1 each

 Lots, and lots, and lots of cardstock and Designer Series paper is available for sale!!  Prices range from .50 cents to $12.  Many items priced in the $3-$8 range!!!

 More Ink & Markers!

 Here are those Ink / Refill / Marker Bundles for $12!!  I've added a Color Coach card for each available color!

Handmade items!  Love the look of handmade items but no time to make them?  That's ok!  Pick up what you need at my sale.  Individual Cards, Card Bundles, Bags, and Boxed Gifts!!

You Guessed It - More Open House & Sale Pictures!

More Open House & Sale Pictures!

Bin of Re-Inkers Various Colors - $2 each
Bin of Rolls of Ribbon - Some Brand New never used and some used.  Prices vary depending on style of ribbon and what's left on the roll.  If you're looking for a specific retired color - let me know - I may have it!  I would guess that these will go quickly as I've never had rolls of ribbon at my sale before!!!

The last picture is one of three mini bundles I have available for anyone looking for a small / affordable gift idea!  These bundles contain 4 items:  A wooden stamp set, An Ink Spot, A package of mini vanilla cards and A package of 2-gift boxes!  These bundles are an amazing deal at just $15 each as the stamp set alone is worth $12-$15!!

Each bundle has a different stamp set so be sure to check them out while you're here!

Pictures of Sale Items!

Sharing some of the pictures from my last Open House & Sale.  Some of the items within the pictures have sold but many are still available + lots of new table additions!

If you see anything you're interested in, email me and I can confirm if it's still available before you make the trip to Dorchester!  Just a few more days...make your shopping list!!

How about a card sample!

It felt great to get back into my craft room over my holidays and create again!  I'm way, WAY behind with my stock of birthday cards so making this card was fun and practical.  It's a layout that can be easily replicated and modified for either a feminine or masculine feel.  I'll be back tomorrow with more Open House & Sale information and another card sample!

 

 

More Classic Ink!

Earlier this week I posted some pictures of some of my Classic Ink bundles

Ink + Refill + Marker or
Ink + Marker

These bundles are a great way to get a few products of the sale color at a reduced price! 

I also have some individual Classic Ink pads that will be in my upcoming Open House & Sale.  Each of these ink pads are being sold for $5 or 5 for $15!!  Here's a list of the Classic Ink Pad colors that will be available for single sale or bulk discount this coming weekend:

Mint Melody, Brocade Blue, Positively Pink, Mauve Mist, Bordering Blue, Sage Shadow, Taken With Teal, Barely Banana, Pretty In Pink, Lavender Lace, Almost Amethyst, Pale Plum, Ballet Blue, Kiwi Kiss, Groovy Guava, Blue Bayou, Purely Pomegranate.

All Classic Ink Pads (and bundles) are cash & carry items (not Surplus table items).

Announcing August Open House & Sale Dates!

I'm sure this will come as no surprise...

Here are the dates for my August Open House & Sale(s):

Friday August 23rd:  6-8pm
Saturday August 24th: 9-11am

The sale will be held in my home in Dorchester.  Please email me at lisaburns@rogers.com for sale address.

This sale will have plenty for anyone that either crafts themselves, needs a gift for someone that crafts, or just likes giving away handmade gifts (but doesn't necessarily like making them)! 

I will share more pictures & details of items that will be available at this sale over the next week and within multiple blog posts!  The first part of the sale I would like to tell you about is the infamous Surplus or 2 FOR 1 sale.  Everything you see on this table is part of the Surplus Sale concept and the items are FREE!  That's right...you read that correctly FREE!!  Instead of paying for these items, you take the equivalent value of the products you select and you order at least that value in the current Idea Book & Catalogue.  So for example, if you decide you'd like a stamp set from this table valued at $24.95 you take that stamp set home for free and you order whatever you'd like from the SU! catalogue with a subtotal of $24.95!!  Awesome eh!?!  Regular shipping & taxes apply to the catalogue order only and cash / credit can be accepted as payment.

I'll be back tomorrow with more sale pictures & information.  Have a great night everyone!



Surplus ( 2 FOR 1 ) Table



Cardstock / Designer Series Paper & Stacks / Simply Scrappin' Kits!

All for sale.  After some significant time in my craft room the last few days I think I might need to have the next sale sooner-rather-than-later!!

Pricing for these will vary depending on how much of each package is left.  A number of packages are actually unopened (yes, sad but true)!  Even these packages will be priced lower than what a typical item would cost out of the catalogue when you factor in the additional cost of shipping & taxes.

Oh, and they are retired colors & designs so many of these items are hard to come by!  Email me with interest.

Retired Classic Ink / Refills / Markers for Sale

One of the hardest parts of getting by business organized for a busy Fall season is parting with old product...*sigh* and replacing with new colors *yeah* !!

My friends / customers love this part though because it means you can get your hands on retired products and discontinued colors - at great prices!

Here's a list of gently used, recently retired colors I'm looking to sell along with a few rules:

• I can 'hold' a product for 48hrs only.  If after 48hrs the item(s) have not been paid for, they will become available for sale once again for the next interested buyer 
• I cannot deliver or ship.  Pick up only in Dorchester
• Cash or cheque for these items please (no credit cards)
• The prices are firm - thanks.  I will ensure I update this blog list once items are sold

$12 Bundles:  Include Classic Ink Pad, Classic Re-inker, Stampin' Write Marker
$10 Bundles:  Include Classic Ink Pad, Stampin' Write Marker



 



Tag A Bag Gift Boxes - NEW ITEM!

Amazing gift boxes now available from Stampin' Up!  As soon as I saw these in the new catalogue I knew I had to order them right away for all kinds of gift giving ideas!

There are 8 pre-cut boxes in each package + 8 acetate pre-scored sleeves so when you're ready to use them, you simply open them up and assemble on the folds!

If decorating the box (stamping images), it would be best to do that before assembling into the box shape.  My first project didn't involve any stamping on the box (although I'm sure I will get to that for my next project).  Instead I decorated the sleeve with a Perfect Plum & Pink Pirouette belly band.

I love the size of the box space (6-7/8" x 2-1/8" x 2-1/2") - perfect for holding gifts like cookies, clothing, candles etc.  And how cool is it that the person that receives a gift like this can re-use the box to pay it forward to someone else!!!
