Join us for breakfast this Saturday, June 27, 2009, anytime between 10:00 a.m. and Noon for our first Memories on Fifth Breakfast Bash! Kris, Patty, and Lynn will offer several mini classes for a small fee. No registration is necessary. Simply take a look around our classroom while you enjoy breakfast and sit down at a chair if you see something you would like to make, or take a number if the booth is full. Payment should be made in cash at the booth. Each class will be a cute project that will teach a new technique or showcase a product. Bring your own class kit of adhesive, trimmer, and scissors to avoid having to share. MK Embossing will be here with samples of their work and to take orders. They offer foil imprinting in a variety of fonts and colors for embossing photo or scrapbook album covers and spines with any personal message. Foil imprinting is a process where a colored foil is adhered to a product by the use of heat and pressure. This is the same process that scrapbook manufacturers use to stamp bordered edges onto the covers, but on a much smaller scale. I’ve been using them for years to add the name and date to my albums and have been thrilled with their professional service! Simply bring in the album cover or spine that you would like embossed along with what you would like it to say. It's a classy way to add personalization and an elegant flair to your photo or scrapbook album covers. Michele will take your cover or spine back to her shop and return them to the store to be picked up. If you’ve already had albums embossed and would like to match them, please bring them along as a sample. For more information and pricing, visit their website at: www.mkembossing.com.
We had hoped to introduce the new QuicKutz Die Cutting Tool, the Epic Six. However, QuicKutz has moved the date back for delivery, so we will be unable to demonstrate it for you. You can still take advantage of our unbelievable preorder price of $59.99 (that's $30 off the manufacturers suggested price!) until Tuesday, June 30. As a bonus, you will also receive a rebate from QuicKutz for an exclusive 6x6 or 6x8 Epic Die valued at over $20.00! The Epic is the newest tabletop tool from QuicKutz, surpassing every die-cutting tool they've released before in size and scope. The Epic also beats every competing tool in quality and performance. It both cuts and embosses all QuicKutz products as well as all other leading brand dies and embossing folders, making it the most versatile and efficient machine on the market.
Here are some of the Exciting features of the Epic 6:
- It cuts and embosses
- It's compatible with all QuicKutz and other leading brand dies
- It's ideal for scrapbooking, card making, home decor and other craft projects.
- It has a Lifetime Service Commitment Warranty!
- It has a six-inch wide opening
- It has high quality metal parts
- It is lightweight and portable
- Included in the Epic Six Tool is one 6x13" cutting platform(used to cut most chemically etched dies) one 6x13" embossing platform (can be used on competitor's dies) and one 6x13" cutting mat (used for all cutting and embossing).
We hope you can join us for our first every Breakfast Bash! |
