Time for another SUPER SPECIAL - Fiskars Clear Stamps!

Sentiments Clear Stamp Set - All your favourite messages


Fiskars Clear Stamps are quite the star among stamping. Mainly because of their EASE of use and carefully designed images. Every image in the set has been selected with thought of what is going to get the most use for you!


Kids Birthday Clear Stamp set - Perfect for invitations, cards and scrapbook pages


But I'm not a stamper! Stamping isn't a secret club that you do or don't do. Its cross over into scrapbooking, school projects, invitations, card making and gift packaging makes it well worth trying and it's EASY.

Select a stamp, select an ink pad, the stamp clings to a smooth plastic surface. Press the stamp into the ink then stamp away! Great for backgrounds and tags. Ideally you would cling the stamp to a Fiskars Easy Stamp Press or clear acrylic block but I have made do in the past with the cover of a CD case no problem.

Let's get to the special!

Scrapbooking Techniques with Tracy - Two Scoops Technique Class

This week's Scrapbooking Techniques with Tracy layout

Using the brand new Two Scoops range of cardstock from Bazzill, Tracy has created a lovely layout for you to make this week. The combination of textures and patterns is contemporary and the layout itself suitable for a wide range of photographs especially travel and holiday pics! Check out the puff paint detail around the clouds - cute!
Class is Monday daytime and Thursday evening. Suitable for beginners as well as intermediate scrapbookers.


From the Bazzill website:


Bazzill Basics Paper Two Scoops Sand-able Cardstock

Bazzill Basics Paper is adding a unique line of colorful, textured paper to its collection. This cardstock is sure to be a favorite of paper artists who like to tear, emboss, distress, ink or sand.
Each sheet of extra-special, 12×12, premium cardstock has a delicious sounding name, and offers the con- venience of crafting with two yummy colors all rolled into one paper. The sheet can be used as is – or the second flavor (shown along the strip with the bar code) can be revealed to create decadent color combi- nations that always look great together. Try ripping or sanding to expose the color underneath:

We’ve even added a choice of “sprinkles” on top. There are three simple, embossed textures to choose from, so pick your favorite:


Lots of colours in the range including the flower sander - In stock at NZ Scrapbook now.

More new Collections from Kaisercraft

Hi friends,

THREE new Collections in stock now from Kaisercraft (in addition to the new ranges we got just last week!)

Thirteenth Hour Collection
Not due until October we have ours now :) We don't stock a lot of Halloween products so if you are wanting papers for party invitations or suspect you will have some Halloween dress up photos next month to scrapbook I would suggest you check out the new papers just arrived.


Thirteenth Hour Papers

Hunt and Gather Collection
Being a bit of a bug freak and nature girl (my friend just bought me more framed butterflies - whee!) I LOVE this collection. I just know the many fisherman photos out there are going to look awesome on these papers. Masculine, outdoorsy and lots of really BIG BUGS!

We have the papers, rub-ons, stamps, 6"x6" paper pads and more.




Hunt and Gather Papers and Rub-ons


Miss Nelly Collection
Bright and feminine florals in cheeky rasberry, cottage mint and luscious turquoise. This range caught my eye as being very multi purpose. So much so I bought 90 sheets of one of the small florals. I don't know why, I must have had an idea for a class but I can't remember what! stay tuned for that one ;)


Miss Nelly papers - can you see why I loved that second one? Pretty!


Other cool stuff

Sparklets
Need I say more... HOT

Ten beautiful colour ways

....teeny tiny alphas, 6"x6" paper pads in Timeless, more wood products including dressforms and chandeliers.


New paper pads


Whee! Lots to play with.
