Black Friday

New merchandise is arriving every day.  I just opened a package with some back-ordered merchandise. This is such hard work this time of year.














Don't forget our Black Friday Specials this Friday, 11/28.  We have BoBunny packages that contain $70 worth of paper and embellishments for $20.95. There are two versions:  one contains papers from various holidays and one contains all-occasion non-holiday papers. 

All styles of Kaiser Craft Advent boxes are on sale also.  It's not too late to put one together for someone on your Christmas list.

Petaloo has sent us a nice selection of realistic paper and fabric flowers and we'll pass the savings on to you.

We have more bargains for you too.  Just stop in anytime beginning Friday.  We'll be opening early - - - - 9:59am.

     Just part of our Black Friday display.  We're ready for you!

December Schedule

It's that time of year again! The time when the holidays seem to run together and when we know we'd be ready for Christmas if only it came in February.  

Do you need a last-minute gift?  Would you like a special holiday card?  Could you use some hand-made gift tags?
If so, you might be interested in one of our December classes. Below is the schedule.

• Dec. 4 - The Stockings are Hung - You will be using a plastic stencil and some Petaloo flowers to embellish a canvas stocking in time for Christmas.  The results are stunning.

• Dec. 9 - Tag Class - Make 10 gift tags for your holiday gift-giving using a variety of techniques.  Your friends and family won't want to throw these tags away!

• Dec. 11 - Glitter Class - 'Tis the season to twinkle.  For those of you who've been begging for a glitter class, this is it!  Make three all-occasion cards using glitter and glitter techniques.

• Dec. 13 - "Bucket List" Photo Folio - Make this foto folio to keep track of your Bucket List and to document with pictures those items you've checked off. You'll make the entire folio, from chipboard to finished product, in about 4 hours, and you'll have a place to record those top items on your "must see and do" list.

• Dec. 27 - Bonus Make 'N Take - We're throwing in an extra Make 'N Take for those of you looking for a post-holiday creative outlet. Bring along those out-of-town guests and join us as we supply the ingredients to make 4 cards.  Make as many as you'd like for only $2 a card. Drop in anytime between 10 and 4.

I Hate Inventory Sale - Stop in between Dec. 18th and 27th for our annual sale. There will be bargains that are sure to please, all in an effort to reduce our inventory before we have to count everything.

Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving from everyone at the Stamp & Scrap Nest.

My Bad!

Somehow, through all the excitement of posting pictures yesterday, I forgot to post a new and improved photo of the candle ring.  So, if you can stand getting a new posting two days in a row, here is the project for the candle ring class.

We have samples for the Plastic Stencil class on November 20.  We will be using inks and a different type of stencil paste on various surfaces to create three projects which are pictured below. Since the morning class is almost full and we have a limited number of stencils, there will not be an evening class.

                   

This is the project I made in my last class.  I hope you have as much fun in your class.    

    

Samples, samples, samples

We're ready to start our Christmas shopping.  How about you?  Have you made your cards yet?  We're having a little problem with the card making (that thumb thing again), but we're looking to buy our holiday treats. 


This Saturday is our "The Stockings are Hung" class. In this class you'll be making a gorgeous canvas stocking with silver and gold stenciled detail and floral embellishments from Petaloo.  The stocking is not hard to make and you'll have a keepsake that you can use for years. The class is at 10:30 am and costs only $20 for all supplies.  To register for the class, call the store (860-658-9023).

On Tuesday, November 18th, we will be holding a "Poinsetta Candle Ring" class.  I posted a photo on an earlier blog, but it turns out that Susan wasn't finished with it yet and now it looks even better.  We will be using Sizzix dies from Susan's Garden and Ranger to make red and white poinsettias and green foliage which will be attached to a ring.  All you need to add is your own candle and you have a great centerpiece for your holiday table.  You can sign up for the class at either 10:30 am or 6:30 pm.  All supplies will be provided for a fee of $20. Call the store (860-658-9023) to register.  Don't forget that if you pay for a class ahead of time, you will receive a 10% discount on anything you purchase on the day of the class.

We have been receiving all sorts of new papers and other merchandise lately.  Drop by to see the new Altitude collection from BoBunny, the Winterland line from Moxxie, and the Warm & Cozy collection from Carta Bella. All three of these paper lines feature winter themes and have been flying out of here. Stop and get yours before they're gone.

Don't forget our holiday open house on Sunday, November 23. Fun, games, food, and goodie bags for the first 25 people. It all happens at 1:30! Be there or be square!
