New Arrivals this Month

2007-06-15T10:25:00.000-07:00

Hi Everyone!

I apologize for not keeping this blog updated lately. This pregnancy, my first one, hasn't been easy. I suffered from a condition called hyperemesis gravidarum which rendered me incapacitated for the first 5 months. I'm ok now, though I still have my bad days. Thank goodness for the drug called phenergan.

Anyway, I have listed a bunch of new items from Bazzill Basics. I have listed the newest colors for the Bling Collection both 12 x 12 and 8.5 x 11 cardstock packs. I also added Bazzill Brads; round 10mm, flowers and hearts 25mm. Do check them out.

Autumn Leaves clear stamps are listed on auction and they start at a low $0.99 auction. Hurry up and place your bids before the listing ends. Don't forget to check out our Autumn Leaves section for the new Perfectly Clear idea book and more Autumn Leaves clear stamps.

Basic Grey came out with their new collection called Infuse, every sheet is so unique and fresh perfect for this summer's projects. I listed the entire pack plus all the other accessories that comes with it not commonly found inside the collection pack.

I have also listed more Stampendous! stamps and will be adding more from their clear stamp collection as soon as they arrive. I will be listing these up with a promotional FREE SHIPPING so be on the look out for them.

Last but not least is an update from the Hero Arts' Collage collection. There were two rubber stamps added, Eiffel Tower and Mona Lisa. They will be arriving on the 20th of June...but of course you could pre-order all these. If you have any questions or would like to special order any of the items I have in my store, send a message and I'll get back to you within 24 hours.

Happy creating!

More Hero Arts Update

2007-01-11T00:37:00.000-08:00

Would you like to read about the unfortunate New Year server crash from Hero Arts themselves? If so, you can visit their updated website here. I am so glad to know that they hope their retailers' online ordering website will be up and running (estimatedly) on January 25, 2007. It is loads easier to do online ordering since I am online almost 95% of the time rather than placing a phone order or faxed. Hand cramp and illegible handwriting just does not make things easier.

...more good news! The rest of the Hero Arts new products on their 2007 idea book arrived today and the website has been updated. Please visit us soon!

Imagine! Believe! CREATE!

Cheers!

New Product Updates

2007-01-07T21:49:00.000-08:00

We will soon be carrying Inkadinkado rubberstamps. We would like to introduce their newest acrylic stamps (clear stamps) that comes package with its own acrylic block. Isn't that great? We do not have the images at the moment but it soon will be.

"One-of-a-kind cards! Creat your own special designs by mixing & matching the clear stamps in each set. Unique Block! Use all sides of our NEW clear peg block that measures 4" x .75". The long sides are ideal for expressions. The short ends make it easy to stamp small images."

K.I. Memories newest idea book is on our "coming soon" list as well. We were informed that they will be arriving in the middle of Febuary together with their Mini Alphabet Soup. It is published that the Mini Alphabet soup was released in December of 2006 but they are not actually shipping until much later, mid Febuary.

Autumn Leaves' idea book called Look Book has been placed on order and should be arriving soon. Together with this idea book, the Designing with 2007 will also arrive. We are very excited about these new shipments so stay tuned as we list the new products.

Hero Arts Update

2007-01-07T21:25:00.000-08:00

Their online ordering for retailers is still down.

Having said that, it will not stop us from carrying Hero Arts' entire 2007 collection. We have ordered the rest of the 2007 rubberstamps and should arrive soon. Here is a preview of what's to come:

Unlike other sellers, we only list items we have in house or products that have been ordered and awaiting arrival, these are called "PRE-ORDERS". Rest assured that you will receive your purchases immediately.

All of these will be seen very soon. If you would like to order ahead, just send us an e-mail. We'll get back to you within 24 hours.

F.A.Q. - Shipping Essentials

2007-01-06T19:29:00.000-08:00

Our listings are written clearly for easy reading. We do not use words that are misleading. We describe the items as best we can by listing the themes, colors, or number of items if it is a lot. If there is a tear on a paper, YOU WILL KNOW. It is our mission to provide a friendly and honest service above the rest. Despite our clear listings there is still one frequently asked question:

Q: Do you combine shipping?
A: Yes, we do! To elaborate, we have broken it down this way:

For U.S. Purchases:

Shipping is based on weight and destination. We do not charge handling on US purchases made at the store.
Shipping is based on weight and destination on auction listings but we do charge handling to offset the higher listing fees but never to make money.
U.S. handling fees on auctions range from $0.50 to $1.00.

For International Purchases:

International purchases can be combined in a flat rate Global Priority Mail Envelope as long as the items fit comfortably without damage when flap is sealed. This mostly applies to rubberstamps or other items of the same or comparative size.
International shipping is based on weight and destination + handling fees. Fees range from $1.50 to $2.00 depending on the size of the package.

That's pretty much it for the nitty gritty of our shipping details. If you have any other questions please don't forget to contact us.

Good and Bad...Hero Arts 2007

2007-01-05T19:22:00.000-08:00

As you may all know, Hero Arts released their new catalog debut in mid December of 2006. It was a HUGE success. Everything was selling out so fast. Due to the quick turn around at stores and more demand from consumers retailers needed to restock, QUICKLY. The first week after the release of new products came the holiday break. Hero Arts shutdown for inventory and resumed regular work hours after the New Year. Here comes the BIG BAD.

Hero Arts came back to a broken website. Retailers could only phone in their orders. Online ordering was not functional. Needless to say, my orders for new 2007 products will be significantly delayed. I talked to one of their representatives and I was informed with great regrets from Hero Arts that my order will not ship today but next...hopefully.

To all waiting for 2007 Hero Arts products, this is unfortunate but it happens, otherwise, Hero Arts is very a very efficient company. Please be patient.

Here is the update of 2007 SOLD OUT Hero Arts products:

Designer Posy Borders LL155

Branch and Flower C4418

Designer Words LL150

Blossom Patterns LL173

Flourish Wave with Hearts C4604

Handwritten For You LL171

Rubberstamps slated to arrive on 15th of January will be moved back a week.

Have a Happy New Year Everyone!
