Guest Design Team call

I'm excited to tell you that the first Guest Design Team call for Classy Cards 'n Such has been announced!  The details are here.   I should add that even though we will consider scrapbookers, card makers are our primary interest at this time.

Take a look and good luck to all!!!

I can't imagine...

Do you have someone special who needs a card with an extra touch...someone who maybe needs to know that you thought of them today?   Here are three elegant, yet simple, cards that are pretty easy to make for three different occasions.

This card is great for a good friend.   The inside sentiment completes the sentence started on the front and says "...in all the world a better friend than you!"   It's from the Friends Rubz.   Rubz are so easy to use and if you haven't tried them, you owe it to yourself.   They are quality rub-ons with lots of different sentiments for a number of occasions.  The complete supply list is below.

New cards and new products!

Hello Blog Friends,

It's been a busy week...more ways than one!   Linda has been busy making beautiful cards and I have a couple to share, too.

The June40off discount code is good through the end of June and will give you 40% off all paper while supplies last (see what's new below!) Shipping charges apply.  Please read the new shipping policy at checkout.  International orders are welcome.   Details here.

There are lots of new items in the shop!  Check these out!!

• Bling  - Several new Want2Scrap items on this page but others are sprinkled throughout the section. I've just re-ordered the White Pearls Finesse Swirls and Silver Rhinestone Finesse Swirls (a few of these are in stock now).  Black Finesse Swirls are still on backorder.   There is a new color coming out - brown!   I should be able to order the black and brown soon.   I expect that I will have the White Pearls by late next week...maybe earlier!
• Embellishments - A cute new package of Whimsey Perfect Petals
• Embossing folders - Two new ones - Blossom and Spring - really pretty!  I just ordered another new style and re-ordered the beautiful Daisy & Swirl!  I expect those late next week, too! 
• Paper, vellum & diecuts 
  • Foil Paper - These are 5" x 5" papers - 5 different colors, 5 different textures with 10 of each design per pack for a total of 50 sheets for only $4.99
    • Textured Patterns 3 is back in stock.   My first order of this one sold out before I could get it in the online store! My friends loved it!
    • I've also added a new pack with different colors and textures which is equally gorgeous - Textured Patterns 2.
    • I also just ordered Textured Patterns 1.   I can't wait to see this one!!  It should be in late next week.
  • Paper - There are two new 6" x 6" Webster's Pages packages and a new vellum and die cuts assortment
    • Ladies & Gents, Trendsetters
    • Spring Market, Yacht Club & Country Estate
    • Vellum & diecutt kit - NEW - This is a different assortment and has some really pretty designs!
    • There are only a few packs of Melody and Sparkling Spring left, so the time to order those is now if you are interested.  It is unlikely that I will be able to restock them since these Prima collections are being discontinued to make room for the new designs.
• Exotic Butterflies - Mini & Small by Cheery Lynn Designs - If you haven't seen these, they are really gorgeous!  Be sure to check out the Cheery Lynn doilies and the Spellbinders products too.
• Outline stickers - Lots of choices here!  

More big news!!...I recently created a new Yahoo group for different weekly discounts not available elsewhere.   It's an announcement only group so you won't be inundated with lots of emails...just one or two emails per week at the most from me with a deal or new product announcements.  And when you join, you will get a code for 20% off your first order as a member of the Classy Cards 'n Such Yahoo group!  Follow this link to sign up  http://groups.yahoo.com/group/classycardsnsuch/.   And just a heads up...after you have signed up and all seems to be well, go to My Groups in your Yahoo account.   Find the Classy Cards 'n Such group and check that the email address showing is the one where you want these emails to go.   If it isn't, click Edit and you will be able to access the drop down by the email address and change it to the one you prefer.   Yahoo seems to default to your Yahoo email which may not be the one you would like.  Ask me how I know!  :-)

OOPS!!!

I goofed...and it's definitely in your favor!!!   I didn't realize it until one of my sweet customers brought it to my attention, but the June40off coupon works on ALL paper items in your shopping cart... not just one as I thought!   Enter it in the box on the first shopping cart page.

So...shop away and enjoy!!!  Here's the direct link to the paper section of the shop.  Paper, Vellum & Diecuts.   The Prima 6 x 6 pads are very limited, so claim yours now!   And...here's a little secret (but it's OK to share it!)....The foil pads are currently out of stock, but more should be here any day now!   And...there is another set of them called Foil Paper - Textured Patterns 2 which should be in that order.   These packs contain five colors with five different textures and are REALLY pretty!   And...I have two more styles of Webster's Pages on order as well.  I haven't been notified yet of the shipment, but I think it should be here later this week or early next week.  More new items are in both shipments!!

So...if you want some of the Prima paper while I still have some, order it today before it is all gone.   And if you are interested in seeing the new papers or other new items, please email me at beverly@classycardsnsuch.com and I will hold your order until both come in.   If you would like to order more paper after you see those (or anything else), just let me know and I will hold your order until you decide and of course, will only charge you one shipping price.

And one more thing...I will be changing the domestic shipping charges, probably this evening.   The current choices don't always cover the full shipping costs and I just can't afford to continue that.   So, shipping will change to "best way" shipping...still with USPS only, but the charges will be more in line with the actual cost (higher or lower than flat rate...whatever works best).   If I have to use shipping material not provided by USPS, I will have to add a small handling fee to cover that cost.   Either way, I think it will be more fair to both of us.

And...one more thing...Classy Cards 'n Such now accepts international orders.  Click here for details.

And...one more thing (last one for this post!)...please be sure to consider the pearlized paper too.   This would be a great time to try it while the 40% off coupon is on.   We are not professional photographers, and unfortunately, this paper does not photograph well.   All three colors in stock are really beautiful and great quality!  I  LOVE using them for card bases and mats!   I don't think you will be disappointed.

What a deal!!!  Thanks for stopping by...

Butterflies....

I had a little time to play today and wanted to show you a couple of cards made with the new butterfly dies from Cheery Lynn Designs.  There are three different buttefly dies in each set. 

The detail is amazing!!  I had no trouble at all cutting them in my Cuttlebug.  I ran them through back and forth twice, turning a quarter turn or so when I ran it through the second time.   I used a piece of low tack painter's tape (the blue kind) to help get it out of the die.   Worked like a charm!  

The mini butterflies are great accents on your cards but you could easily group all three on the same card for the focal point.  The small set is a bit bigger and a each butterfly is a great focal point on its own.  I have plenty of both sizes in stock so don't hesitate to order now.

There is new bling in the store this week from Want2Scrap, so be sure to check that out here.

Some Prima collections are being discontinued! Order now!!

I don't have a card to share with this post, but wanted to let you know about a conversation I had with a Prima Customer Service representative earlier today.   Some of their collections are being discontinued and as items sell out, Prima is not re-stocking.   There are several items that I currently carry that I am unable to replace, so I don't plan to place another Prima order until after their new collections are ready...probably at the summer CHA.

So, if you are interested in any of the Prima items I carry in the online shop, order them now as it is unlikely I can get any more.   Quantities are limited, so first come, first served!

Click the links below to go directly to the item in the shop.

Here's what I have:

• Pearls & crystals
• Pearl designs on this page where the name begins Pearls - ....   The other items are from Want2Scrap and the Finesse Swirls (all colors) are out of stock with the vendor as well.
• Flowers
• Paper - 6" x 6" pads - Botanical, Melody, Sparkling Spring  This would be a great time to use the June40off coupon which applies to paper only!!!
• 12" x 12" sticker sheets which match the Botanical and Madeline Collections.   These are quality stickers with glitter on heavier cardstock than the usual sticker.   You can use them as they are off the sheet or fussy cut them...your choice.
• Masks - There are two reusable plastic floral masks per package which can be laid on your cardstock, then spray with Glimmer Mist (or similar) or dab with an acrylic dabber, chalk or ink to make a unique background paper.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
