Some fun NEW samples in the store!

We've got some fun new samples made with some of our awesome NEW products that will be making their debut during Saturday's FREE Make-N-Take event!!!!
The Stationary Set pictured above was created with one of our NEW Schlosser Designs Clear stamp sets.

The two gorgeous cards pictured above were also created with the NEW Boughs Set from Schlosser Designs.

Check out the super cool and incredibly versatile NEW poinsettia stamp from Inpression Obsession. The sample above was stamped on our new American Craft Glitter Cardstock and embossed with our NEW ZING embossing powders. The lovely sample below was colored in with our Copic Markers (what? you don't know how to use Copic Markers? Well, we have a class for you!)

This gorgeous poinsettia card was embossed with our NEW Zing embossing powders as well, and layered for a really great three-dimensional look!

Check out our NEW American Crafts wood-mounted stamps!
