The Olympic Champion of Stamp and Scrapbook Stores!

 Why Buffalo Stamps and Stuff, of course! Sharon was back on Wednesday night and Saturday morning with inspiration and new product, lots of new product. So, let's get started.

Diagonal Shortcuts Dies is more of a construction die than a featured die. Simple diagonal stripes in varying widths You can add these stripes to the background of your cards as Sharon illustrates. The other die Sharon will use is the Slanted Shortcut Die.

Sharon used the Slanted Shortcut die here and in the gray sympathy card coming up,

Sharon also used this layered rectangle die set,

Here Sharon paired the Slanted Shortcut die with Spellbinders Halloween die, Woof or Treat.

More samples

You can also use these dies with patterned paper.

Next up is Sharon's video from Saturday.  We have a restock and a few new colors of Cloud 9 inks. If you don't know how these inks work from the packaging, let me explain. These inks are different colors depending on the paper you use them on. On white paper the color to the far left of the pad is the color you will see. If you use a Kraft or a little darker paper the color in the middle of the pad is what you'll get. Finally, if you use these inks on black paper the color on the far right is how the ink will print. 

We also have several new Clair colors from VersaFine. These are Sharon's favorite for stamping solid stamps. I use their black or Nocturn for all my sentiments. It produces the clearest, crispest imprint.

Tim Holtz had his Halloween release last week and he's brought back some favorites in a different size along with a few new images. 

This is a new wreath die that works for fall and can be customized for almost any time of year.

We also have in several new Halloween die cuts. You get several in a package.

A new spider die

A favorite embossing folder from Paper Rose. This is a regular 2D folder.

We also have several smaller paper pads that will work for your ATC cards which look like are making a comeback,

Jewels! these will last you a long, long time.

Two new items from Taylored Expressions. a berry and leaf embossing folder and a die set that has multiple pieces you can use to create your layered cards. Remember, we cannot put these on the web site. If you would like anything from Taylored Expressions you need to call the store direct to order.

These are new. It was very difficult to take a scene shot that showed the package for several of these. These are pop-up cards. If you can see the photo in the lower right corner of the package, you will see how all the elements are layered to create a pop-up card. We have several different styles.

From Studio Light, a new stencil.

From Creative Expressions, a stencil featuring a variety of images. You can mask off the ones you don't want and it gives you the ability use the same image in multiple places on your project.
