Gift Cerificates

 
Need a Christmas gift idea for yourself or someone else? How about a gift certificate from the Happy Stamper? It can be used for crafting supplies as well as classes, so it is definitely versatile! Don't forget that the big CHA show is coming up soon and it is good to be prepared. :)
 
There are so many ways to get our gift cards either in person at the store or by phone or email. Your significant can easily shop for you. Here is how:

1. Have your friends/family call the shop. 703-657-2952. We can take their order over the phone and mail or email the Gift Certificate out.

2. Have them stop by the store. We love meeting your friends and family.

3. They can also send a credit card payment in any amount through PayPal to this email address: angela@ahappystamper.com . In the notes section, they should type: Gift Certificate for "Your Name". We will email them the Gift Certificate and they can print it out just for you. We can also mail it to them if they provide a mailing address (and they provide enough time for first class mail). Or, we can hold it here for your next visit, if that is more convenient.

It's so easy to get exactly what you want for Christmas and support your Local Stamp Store at the same time!

Plush dies by Memory Box

Memory Box released a series of "plush" dies.  These dies are intended to be used with felt and embroidery floss to create dimensional projects.  I, however, am not much of a seamstress (and the packaging discouraged me a little - above my pay grade, so to speak).  So, I tried one of the dies on standard card stock, and I LOVE the delicate design that the holes make - who even needs to sew?!?!

Plus, we'll be working with the holographic paper and stickers and the Quick Stik (for easy sticker placement).  These stickers add lots of shimmer without any drying time!  And, they are flat and great for mailing.

Join Angela between 12-2 Tuesday and try one for yourself.  (And, there's zero chance of snow!)

New from Great Impressions

We have a brand new sample board from Great Impressions! The latest release has lots of images that are perfect for coloring.

The stamp of the month is the coffee drink, and it is half off for the month of December only. For the sample, they stamped a coffee saying in the center of the cup, but you could leave it blank or paper-piece it for a decorative cup.

PS....the unamused cat image next to it makes me smile every time I see it.
