NEW ITEMS THIS WEEK!

We have received several New Items this week that I thought you all might be interested in. Scrapbook Trends Magazine publishes a book called "CARDS," and we have started carrying it beginning with the August 2007 issue. (shown above) This book contains over 150 creative ideas for making your own cards. It sells for $19.95, and we have a limited number available at this time.

We have also received new holiday stamps from Art Impressions, and SOME punches from Marvy. Most of the punches were backordered, but if your name is in the Special Order Book for punches you WILL be called when the orders come in.

We have also received the Scor-It Scoring System, mentioned in the July/August store Newsletter. I have tried it, and love how easy it makes scoring cardstock and papers. We have one available at the store to try out, if you are interested. Come on in, and try it to see how easy scoring can be.

I also wanted to mention our "VISITING ARTISTS' WEEKEND" coming up this weekend, July 26, 27, and 28th. Kat and Joyce, from A Stamp in the Hand, will be here giving classes using their stamps Thursday and Friday, and will be presenting a FREE DEMO Thursday evening. Please check the class schedule for times. There ARE openings available for all of the classes, so call early to reserve your space.

Saturday, July 28, 2007, Mark Jetton from Deadbeat Designs, will be teaching two classes using his TEXAS themed stamps. If you love "All Things TEXAS" be sure to come check out Mark's stamp designs that will make you "GLAD TO BE FROM TEXAS" whenever you use them.

Well, that's all for now. Keep checking back to the blog, I will keep you informed of all the exciting, and happening new things that come in to Stamp Antonio. Hope to see you soon!

AMuse*A*Palooza: DAY THREE

Friday, July 13, 2007
Day three brings more Make-N-Takes at the store. Our customers enjoy the Art Bar workspace we set up at the front of the store.
They can sit at the counter and enjoy the company of others, while creating works of art, and learning new stamping techniques they may not have been familiar with when they came in.
Today's card, the "Stamp Shop" was a "MUST MAKE" to remind our customers of their favorite stamp store, Stamp Antonio Arts!
More Door Prizes, furnished by AMuse, were given today and the winners were so happy to get their "goodie bags!"

Amuse*A*Palooza:Holiday Card Class

Saturday, July 14, 2007
(Linda, Carol, Kimberly, and Ada)
HAPPY STAMPERS! Thats what we love to see at Stamp Antonio!
A wonderful group of artists came together on a cloudy afternoon for stamping fun and friendship! Although they did not all know each other when they came in, after spending a few hours together stamping and creating, they left knowing they had made "new friends" along with beautiful Holiday Cards.

AMuse*A*Palooza Saturday

Our "BIG EVENT" of AMUSEAPALOOZA week was held on Saturday, July 14, 2007. Our AMuse Holiday Card Class filled our classroom with eager students that just couldn't wait to get their hands on the WONDERFUL NEW AMUSE STAMPS!

Our good friend, Carrie Edelmann-Avery of Debbie Gunion & Associates, Inc. and formerly co-owner of Stamp Antonio, instructed the class in making 9+ holiday cards and even a couple of bonus items. The students went from station to station, creating unique cards that they will be excited to share with family and friends. Refreshments were served, and one of the students was celebrating her birthday today, and felt as if the party was "just for her!" Door prizes furnished by AMuse were given out, and everyone enjoyed their afternoon of card stamping.

AMuse*A*palooza: Day TWO

Thursday, brought out the Make-N-Takes! Customers, young and old alike, tried their hands at making one of the cutest cards I have seen in awhile. The "Baby Penguin" stamp is just darling, and everyone enjoyed stamping him on their card.

Friday's Make-N-Take card is using the "Stamp Shop" image, and of course all of us at Stamp Antonio want to make one of these to remind us of our "favorite rubber stamp store" in San Antonio!
Be sure to come on in, and we will help you make one for yourself!

Saturday's AMuse Holiday Card Class is full, but we will have all of our sample cards out on the counter for you to look at, and get ideas from. Hope to see you soon!

A*Muse*A*palooza IS OFF AND RUNNING!

Hello, Everyone!

The NEW stamps from AMuse were revealed on Wednesday, and they are "flying off the shelves!"
Reveal Day brought a stream of customers into the store to see the "new" stamps for the coming seasons. Everyone was so excited, and quickly filled their baskets with the new images and packaged cards.

The winner of our Reveal Day drawing was Denise Reynolds, shown here at the front of the store with a handfull of new stamps, "she just couldn't live without!"

Congratulations Denise!
