Another Store Visit - Bag Lady Sale!


Bag Lady Sale! Bag Ladies, stop into the store tomorrow (3/29) and receive 15%

off of your entire purchase!

Must have your Bag Lady Bag with you.

Regular exclusions apply.

I have some photos to share to get you in the mood. Let's start with pastes - glitter, shimmer, lunar, solar and more! Don't forget stencils to go with them!

Hop on over to our Woodware display. I believe this is the end of Woodware. Sharon mentioned a while ago that they were shutting down. Check out the gems and sparkles for your shaker cards.

One of my favorite displays, 49 & Market. You can use the acetates, film strips rub-ons and die cuts to enhance your cards, not just your scrapbook layouts.
Spring is here and the fairies have awoken from their winter slumber and are ready for your spring cards! We also have Lavinia's Mist Sprays.


Embossing Folders - You can check out exactly what the pattern will look like after you run your folder through your machine. We have 2D and 3D folders.


I know we just past opening day for baseball but my recommendation is to stock up on your Bills, Sabres, and WNY papers now!
A Sharon favorite - Scrubby! With spring clean-ups inside and outside starting within the next few weeks, this is a great product to have in your house especially if you have a grease monkey who hangs out in your garage! 
Check out the front counter display - up high we have recent dies and on the counter we have tons of extras - washi paper rolls, sequin containers and more. How adorable are these three die sets from Spellbinders? The flower cart and the barnyard animals.
Winnie the Pooh! I will be making baby cards in the near future and I might have to invest in Pooh. NOTE: along the side wall towards the back left corner of the store we have Winnie the Pooh 12X12 papers, check them out.
When we have a sale it's a great time to stock up on tools and pens. Several items in this photo would also make great Easter basket stuffers - more to come later.
You can never have enough bling! These Honey Bee gem collections are fabulous. The Doodlebug enamel dots and hearts below these gems are also something you want to have at hands reach when you are looking for that last little touch to complete your cards and layouts.
If you are not a fan of Copics and want to start or have an alternate to alcohol markers, check these out. They are affordable and you get a great variety.
I haven't forgotten you BetterPress followers out there. Check out the display at the front of the store.
The die cut wall!
I was going to post the last week as they were already on sale but I held them over to now. Check out the IO ink display.
Versa Clair inks are the go to for fine stamping. I use my black exclusively for sentiment stamping and fine line detailed stamps. The great variety of colors can be used the same way, Beautiful colors, great stamping details.
To go with your IO inks we have our last order of IO dies. I mentioned in an earlier post that IO is closing down so Sharon's last order was it, no more 😢.
Lastly, I mentioned above ingredients for Easter Baskets, check out our kids section (back right hand corner of the store facing the wall) for alternatives to candy for your little ones. My 'little one' at 28 gets a Sephora Easter basket...

Here's my funny for the post. 


Haave a good week everyone. Get crafting and above all Stay Safe.

How About a Little Store Tour for Easter?

I stopped in on Saturday looking for supplies to make a Star Wars themed scrapbook page and a Mario themed birthday card for a little boy. I was happy to see Mark talking to several customers and a busy store. With Easter coming up I thought I'd take a few photos and I ended up taking photos from the front to the back of the store! Let me start with Easter.

We have Easter in the front of the store AND in the back. 
Lots of beautiful dies, die cuts and papers.

If you're looking for a different embellishment for your cards check out the 3D Toppers. Easy is the operative word. These little kits give you a layered embellishment for 10 cards. They are fun to make and all you need is foam dots to create your layers. We have several different styles from the crosses below to playful baby animals below them.

Hunkydory (don't you love that name!) has the same concept but in a bit of a bigger size.

There was a card sample with this cute little flop-eared bunny.
A cute shaker mix from Pink & Main.
We also have several spring collections including two from Graphic 45.

Mother's Day is also on the horizon.
How about a gnomie Easter?

Several layout samples in the front of the store.
Lastly, for this week have you checked out the card kits for sale? These are kits from previous classes. A warning though, when they're gone they're gone.

OOPS! one more 'lastly'. Sharon enjoyed these soup, dip and meal mixes so much she wanted to carry them in the store. I tried the Bistro Pasta and we really enjoyed it. We added shrimp to ours for a Scampi treatment.

I'm back with a funny for my post. Opening Day is Thursday. Happy New Baseball Year for my husband!
I'll have more store photos next week, until then enjoy the sun and the warming weather (I hope). I'll be working on several birthday cards and my 49 & Market layouts.  Stay crafty everyone and above all Stay Safe!

Welcome Back!

This past Saturday Buffalo Stamps and Stuff opened again. It was a bittersweet day for everyone. I was away this past weekend at my biannual scrapbook retreat down near Watkins Glen. It was great to see these photos posted on Facebook. Meet our newest sales people! I love their coordinated look. Scott, Jessica's husband was able to come up to Buffalo and spend some time with Mark and helped out at the re-opening. I'm told there was a lot of support from our customers and the store was very busy all day. Many commented that Sharon was looking down with a smile at everyone coming together. 

Here are a few new products to share along with some re-stocks. Below is one of 49 & Market's newest collections, Starlight Dreams.
The Spellbinders bundle.
Pink & Main
We've got Easter up front and center from a variety of companies.
Uniquely Yours stationary with envelopes.
I spent the weekend assembling 49 & Market's Layout kits. I used the four pages from the Rouge collection for photos from the destination wedding we attended in Mexico in December. The handsome gentleman in the center officiating is my husband.
Etch-A-Sketch, my first crafting tool!
There are still many details to work out regarding the store and as I don't technically work at the store, I'm not privy to store decisions. All the decisions regarding the operation of the store are up to the family. I hope to continue posting to the blog with store news, updates and product. As many of you have said, the store was and is your happy place. It's also mine. I hope to see you all soon and to continue to support the Klima family and Buffalo Stamps and Stuff. Until next time, stay crafty and above all Stay Safe. DM
