This past week has been shipments after shipments through our door. Customers always ask us, "How can you guys fit so much into your tiny little shop?" Well, to be quite honest, it helps that our customers clear us out of lots of our collections, so it allows us to be new products consistently. ((A huge thank you to our loyal customers. We really appreciate your business.))

With that said, here's just a sneak of some of the new products that are now out on the floor.

First up, here's the latest collection from American Crafts, Ready Set Go, by Amy Tan:

Also out on the floor, we have the latest paper collection from Studio Calico, Yearbook:

There's also new Halloween stuff in from Pebbles, Inc. Super cute graphics in this collection. We especially love the spoooooky little ghosts, hehe.

Last up, we got in Carta Bella's Halloween collection, as well. You're all going to love the All Hallow's Eve collection!

Hurry in before we sell through our stash, haha.

Ever since we laid our eyes on Lawn Fawn products, we've been sold! We're huge fans of all of their stamps. It's cuteness overload. The mailman was really good to us this week because he brought us a box loaded with Lawn Fawn stuff. Here are some of the stamp sets that we received:

...and to think, that's just some of the stamps we currently have in stock. We have a handful more, but we'll leave that to you to come check them out. Plus, we even picked up their paper collection, Dewey Decimal. Yes, we have the stickers and the 6x6 paper pads too! Here's a little preview to what that collection looks like:

See, we aren't joking when we say that we love Lawn Fawn. 

Stay tuned for more updates.

Many of you have called or emailed us to see what's new. Well, we figured we'd give you a brief overview of some of the items that have come through our doors recently. Hopefully, this will help you with all of your crafty needs.

We received a huge box from Technique Tuesday with Ali Edwards' latest stamps. This is perfect for all you Project Life peeps! Plus, we picked up all of those fun story cards. Yes, we made sure to get them in every color.

Last week, we received some yummy goodies from My Mind's Eye. Seriously, we're drooling over how beautiful these products are.

Gorgeous papers, embellishments, and other trinkets came in from Prima last week, as well. ...and don't worry, we made sure to pick up all the washi tapes for each collection.

Come on in to see the rest of the fun items we've been receiving daily. We promise there'll be at least one thing you can't live without. ;)

Hello! Mary here with a quick card share. I made this fall card just to have on hand for the upcoming season.

I took a plain white card base (5.5"x4.25") and stamped out my pumpkins (I used one Hero Arts pumpkin, center, and three other pumpkin stamps I have had for many years - not sure of brands). I masked off each pumpkin in order to create the layering effects. 


Once they were all stamped, I colored each pumpkin using Copic Markers. The ground is also colored with Copics, and I went over the solid color with another Copic, leaving dots to create more of a pebbled look to the ground. (I used a few of the YR colors - 02, 04, 07, 14, 16 and G 03 and 05 for the leaves).
