Hello Blog,

Hello, everyone! Summer is three-quarters over and I am only now sending out another newsletter, sorry! This is to be just a quick update and reminder of the current activities in the store.

We are continuing with the Saturday afternoon demos!

These have evolved from strictly technique to a combination of technique and interesting products combined with all sorts of unusual card folds and shapes. Every week is a different one- the samples are in the store display case and of course on the Stampers Facebook page. I don’t just demo these- you work along with me and create a prototype of your own to take home and re-create from. (The goal is for you to bring back something the next week to show us.) We have a fun time. Bring your coffee or ice tea and join us. Snacks are served! (If you have your own Scoreboard or trimmer, bring it along so that we aren’t all having to wait for mine to be free- don’t have one? No worries.)

Christmas in July!

Our incredible Christmas Sale continues, with all dies, stamps, and papers 50% off while supplies last. (Sale is limited to our huge inventory of in-stock merchandise, including that of Spellbinders, Creative Expressions, Hero arts, Pink Fresh, Pink and Main, Lawn Fawn and many more!) There are still LOADS to pick from.

For those who are completing their sets of ink pad re-inkers, the sale of 25% off all re-inkers of all brands continues. And if we don’t have it we will bring it in for you at the same discounted price- bring me your lists! (Or email me at annthomson0657@gmail.com) I still don’t do anything with the website (a combination of ignorance and inability on my part) so contacting me with this email, or phoning me at the store (250-384-6784) or messaging me from the Stampers! FB page is the most efficient. I am still ordering regularly from suppliers, and I am happy to bring in any special requests. Just ask!

STAMPERS! is open normal hours:

Tuesday through Saturday

10:00 am to 5:00 pm

We are still collecting bottles for Ginny, the senior lady we support, who survived Hurricane Dorian that devastated the Bahamas in 2019. We also sell her own hand-crocheted wash cloths for only $5! Your generosity in the past 4 years has been amazing! We give approximately $40-50 a month thanks to you!

From the sale of the cards in the spinner by the door, and your kind donations, we matched dollar for dollar and we’re almost able to send another $1,000.00 to the L.I.F.E. (LUCY IRVINE FOUNDATION EUROPE) rescue and rehabilitation centre for abused and abandoned animals in Bulgaria. They receive no funding from the government or any private businesses, strictly surviving on donations from people. We are proud to be able to help them with pet food and any surgical needs. This donation should go out mid-July. Thank you again.

Although the garden has gotten a mighty boost from the sudden heat (my tomatoes are covered with yellow flowers!) I am very grateful for the A/C both here at the store and at home!

Hi, all! Hard to believe that it is almost June already- not that the weather is any evidence of it!

(Not complaining- it has saved me hours of watering my gardens.)

Free demo’s continue on Saturdays- 1pm-3:30pm. These are so much fun, and a great way to learn lots of tips and techniques, and fresh ideas for cards and projects.

So far we have focussed on Lisa Horton Inks, Embossing Powders, Stencils and Stencil Butters, Using Pretty Napkins in Cards, (and an on-going napkin swap!), Backgrounds, and more! (and as always, we are SO not limited to the day’s topic! Questions and suggestions are always welcome.) Saturday, June 1st’s topic is Embossing Folders. Further topics will be announced on the FaceBook page, but if you want to see something specific,

just shoot me a message.

(After the demos are done, I make cards with the pieces we have created, and I then post pics of these on the FaceBook page.)

Every week there is a new SALE- 25% off the week’s specials! (30% off for GOLD customers), which runs Friday to Saturday. This week, all INKS (except for Lisa Horton) are 25% until Friday, May 21st. Then starting Saturday, all RUBBER or POLYMER stamps (from all manufacturers) go on sale for 25% off. (All sales applies to in-stock merchandise only- does not include special ordered items.)

(Also, I am clearing out all Stampendous stamps and dies, including House Mouse, for 30% off (35% for Gold Customers) until gone. There is a really good selection to choose from right now, so don’t wait.

I order from suppliers fairly often so if there is anything in particular you are wanting from any particular company, please ask. I’m not sure how fast I can get it, but I will sure try!

As always, we are still collecting bottles and selling the wash cloths ($5 each) for Andi to help cover Ginny’s discretionary living costs at the home. (She is 90 now!)

And of course we are still selling cards and the garden figures to help support L.I.F.E. (Lucy Irvine Foundation Europe) and her amazing animal rescue there. (A percentage of the figures, and 100% of card sales go to L.I.F.E.)

Newsletter, March 26,2024

Hello, all! Happy Spring, and especially, Happy Easter!!

This is just an update FYI to the newsletter of two weeks ago. (Thank you to those who wrote back words of encouragement to that one.)

A reminder that STAMPERS! will be closed on Friday, March 29th…. Good Friday, but definitely open on Saturday the 30th, although slightly shortened hours. I will be closing at 4:30pm this day. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

ALSO, I will be closed on Friday, April 5th for the whole day as well (attending a concert on the mainland!) but also open regular hours on Saturday the 6th. Again, sorry for any inconvenience.

We are still collecting bottles to support Ginny at the Heights. Any and all donations welcome!

Stampers also sells handmade and store bought cards to support L.I.F.E. (Lucy Irvine Foundation Europe) which is a wonderful animal rescue in Eastern Europe.

Also, all the hand-painted resin, ceramic and metal figures in the store are for sale, and all created to be outside figures for any garden. Any of them would be a perfect gift for Easter, Spring, Mother’s Day or Father’s Day.

There is a wonderful Papercrafter’s Crop once a month at the Seventh Day Adventist

Church (9300 Willingdon Road, in Sidney, out by the airport) on the 3rd Thursday of every month. For information call Carol at 250-881-2099.

Please mark your calendars for May 11th and 12th as there is an exciting free weekend of artist studio locations to tour (self-guided) in the Cadbury Bay, Gordon Head and Mount Tolmie areas. We are happily supporting the Hills To Shore Artist’s Tour this year, and will have the tour brochures in the store as soon as they are available.

If you have any sort of papercrafting event happening, I will be happy to promote it here! Please let me know if I can help.

Upcoming Classes:

Beginners Cardmaking: Enter the doorway to the most satisfying hobby ever (IMHO) with this four hours long class that will cover everything from the soup to nuts of Cardmaking! This class is highly recommended for anyone who wants to try their hand at this wonderful craft, or just wants to have a shot of inspiration towards what they already create. Please bring your own liquid adhesive, double stick tape and foam tape. All other supplies provided. $40 +gst. Thursday April 18th, 10am-2pm.

The TaDa Diorama and Platform Pop-up Cards: I love all things Lawn Fawn and these two cards are no exception. Once you can do these awesome base cards the sky is the limit for your creativity using any stamp and die designs! Please bring your own adhesives. All other supplies provided. $30 plus gst. Saturday, March 30th, 2pm-5pm.

Windows and Wreaths: Create an amazing outdoor scene card, and a lovely wreath card using Spellbinders dies and our brand new classroom Mini Blossom die cutting machines. All you need is your liquid glue, and double stick tape. All other supplies included. $30 plus gst. Friday, April 12th, 2pm-5pm.

Little Birdie Mini Journal: Just a fun little journal learning some fun pages, tucks and tags and creative techniques in this 2 1/2-3 hour class. Please bring your own adhesives. Everything else is provided. $30 plus gst. Wednesday, April 10th, 10am-12pm.

Note: I am ruthlessly clearing out classroom supplies, with a view of having a sale in the very near future, and possibly a big sidewalk sale at the same time. Watch this space!!

ALSO: I want very much to start up our free Saturday demos, possibly with make and takes on Saturday mornings again. Working on these plans, but feel free to make suggestions!

Thank you again,

Ann

We are still collecting bottles for Ginny, the senior lady we support, who survived Hurricane Dorian that devastated the Bahamas in 2019. Your generosity in the past 4 years has been amazing!

From the sale of the cards in the spinner by the door, and donations, we matched dollar for dollar and we’re able to send almost $1,000.00 to the L.I.F.E. (LUCY IRVINE FOUNDATION EUROPE) rescue and rehabilitation centre for abused and abandoned animals in Bulgaria. They receive no funding from the government or any private businesses, strictly surviving on donations from people. We are proud to be able to help them with pet food and any surgical needs.
