Hello Stampers
Hope everyone on the mailing list got their recent newsletter as there was lots of news.  If not you can check it out on the Newsletter page on the website as it's now been loaded.
A few pieces of info for you in the meantime:
 
NEW PRODUCTS
 
Art Glitter Glue and nib - This is a really sticky but incredibly FINE glue with a special nib so you can write with it or do really fine lines.   Because of it's tackiness it will then hold fine glitter and even micro beads so you can have a really fine row or beautifully sparkly words.  Gorgeous.
Pearlescent paints - These lovely sets of paints have been absolutely flying out the door.  If you like H2Os you're going to love these.  They come in a pallette of 21 colours and are only $19.90 each so call now or pop in to see some samples.  I think they're great value and the colour is a little more opaque so you don't need to go over it for really good coverage.
Martha Stewart Border punches -  we have a small range of Martha Stewart punches available in store. They're really great and easy to use, and the sides fold in for easy storage.
Tim Holtz - Everyone is talking about Tim Holtz these days.  We have a new range of his embossing folders and dies in store, and of course have always sold the distress inks. 
Musical Modules - The fun musical modules which sing "Happy Birthday" are now available as a special pack. If you've seen our packs of "cards card" which has enough card to make 3 cards plus heaps of paper pieces, and a selection of embellishments then you'll be pleased to know that we now have a pack for birthdays.  It includes a musical module kit (enough for 3 cards) plus two packs of "cards card" all for $12.00.  Musical modules are also great to put into boxes and pockets and envelopes for that little SURPRISE!!
