LET'S GO EXPLORING!

Happy Columbus Day!  

It's a great day to visit the store and 

EXPLORE!!!!

Explore our stencil selections from Crafter's Workshop, Tim Holtz, Clear Scraps, and others.  Great selection for your mixed media needs.

If you are planning to play in mixed media, you definitely want to check out the Viva Decor products

as well as the fabulous WOW embossing products.

Have you played with washi tapes???   As you all know, I love them and have a small (or not so small) collection of washi tapes.  Once you start using them, you won't be able to stop!  And, there are some in the sale bins.....

There are all kinds of stamps for you to use:  background, Christmas, birthday, humorous, elegant, so many stamps to choose from you might get lost while exploring them!

Explore our selection of die cutting supplies.  We have dies from Sizzix, Lifestyle Crafts, and Impression Obsession - explore the offerings from each of these companies.

Come explore the new product on the tables and in the front of the store to get the latest and greatest.

Explore the Christmas collections under the Christmas trees.  There are so many beautiful collections you will have a hard time choosing!

Of course, you've got to explore the sale bins.  I think there was still some left after the girls got through stocking up on Saturday!  LOL!

So, come explore with us at Cat's on this marvelous

MARVELOUS MONDAY WITH CRATE PAPER SNEAK PEEKS

Cat is at the Craft and Hobby Association (CHA) show and the manufacturers are sharing sneak peeks of their new product.  So, I thought I would share some of these sneak peeks with you. Just a reminder:

I am sharing sneak peeks of what the

 manufacturers are offering, but this 

does not mean they are all going to be ordered for the store.  

The store is not big enough to hold EVERYTHING that

is offered, so Cat does her best to order what the majority

of her customers want.  
The items that Cat orders will be scheduled out and will
arrive over the next several months

 

 If it's show time, you know it is also time for a sale to make room for all the goodies Cat is ordering and scheduling out to arrive over the next 6 months.  We are having a Sliding Scale Sale where the more you spend, the more you save.  Here is how it works: Spend $25 and get a 10% discount.  Spend $45 and get a 15% discount. Spend $55 and get a 20% discount. Spend $75 and get a 25% discount.  Spend $100 or more and get a 30% discount.  Sale dates: July 18-July 24. It's a great time to stock up for any retreats you are heading to this summer. The sale is store wide too!!!

Are you ready to see the new collections from Crate Paper?

This is "Bundled Up", their Christmas collection.  It is full of vintage artwork and patterns.

Instead of rolls of washi tape, Crate Paper has sheets of it where you get 19 separate patterns of washi tape after you cut it up into strips.

Another unique thing offered by Crate Paper are these photo overlays that provide a frame and fun filters for your photos.

This is the Crate Paper Bundled Up chipboard stickers.  Love all of the vintage images - FUN!  To see the rest of this line, go HERE.

Maggie Holmes designed "Flea Market" for Crate Paper.  It is has the whimsical colors mixed with the fun designs that she is known for.

The fun photo overlays from Flea Market.

Look at this sheet of gold washi tape strips!  Fun!!!!

The ephemera collection - so many great elements to add to your layouts - even paint chips!

My favorite of the Crate Paper releases is "Close Knit"  It is full of vintage images.

These are the fun photo overlays for this collection - love them!

No washi tape paper for this collection, but these are really cute layered border accents.

Look at these adorable wood and epoxy buttons!  Even the packaging is cute.

These are the chipboard stickers from this collection.  To see the rest of the "Close Knit" collection, go HERE.

Go HERE to leave a comment telling us which collections you want Cat to order for your chance to win a prize.

Everyone will be a winner with the envelope sale that is part of our 9th Anniversary fun.   We are bringing back the Envelope Sale in a new format.  From July 20th-Aug 10th each customer will receive ONE mini-bag that is sealed. Inside is a discount that will be revealed at checkout on Saturday, August 10th. If your bag is opened or tampered with in any way it will be void. You must keep your bag intact until the reveal date. Yes, it drives you crazy having that bag in your purse and not knowing what is in it. Discounts will range from 10%-40%. Everyone is a winner.

FABULOUS FRIDAY!!!!

And things continue to arrive at the store every day.  Check out this new item at the store:

We all love baker's twine and now we can have it and sparkles too!  Cat got in a new shipment of The Twinery's shimmery twine.  It comes in a wide variety of colors, so whatever color your project, there is some shimmery twine to add some sparkle!

So, have your purchased some washi tape and just not quite sure what to do with it?  Well, Tracy Pounds from "The Little Blue House" decorated her cell phone charging cable. 

This serves two purposes:

Makes it pretty and

makes it easier to locate!

Thanks, Tracy for sharing this fun idea!

Have you seen the "Flamingo Funnies" album that Cat is teaching at the retreat?  This is the cover and it is ADORABLE!   Love the googly eyed flamingo and all of the layers on this album cover.  Can't wait to make this album to hold my photos of this fun retreat.

 

Just sharing some random things this FABULOUS Friday.  Come by the store to pick up some shimmery baker's twine to add some sparkle to your projects.  Baker's twine is a trend that is going to stick around, so if you haven't jumped on the bandwagon, this is a great way to get started--with some sparkle!

 

Add a trip to Cat's to your weekend plans so that you can check out all of the new products that have arrived and are continuing to arrive in the store. 

See you there!
