Sizzix Coffee Morning - so exciting

The parcels from Sizzix have arrived. The Big Shot pro is here, along with some amazing new smaller dies (one shown here!) that are great for cards but can also be used in jewellery making. We have lots of free gifts to give out and of course the lemon tart from the Cafe has been ordered.

Join us for our fabulous free morning starting at 10:30 this Friday 22 July

Free demo day - Vintage Chic - reuse and recycle!

A good bit of news! First we have a great free demo day planned for Saturday - New yummy goodies from Hunky Dory as well as from other suppliers all with a vintage retro theme. Be prepared to go home and be digging in your old sewing box to make cards. For refreshments we will have a little vintage tea party!

We also have an extra class next Saturday - Classic Cardmaking - really nice cards using great techniques - it is just for the afternoon and costs only 20 Euro. We will be making 4 cards. Places are limited so please book

We have a new (short) newsletter out - if you would like to get it - email me on kerry@ansiopabui.ie and I will forward it to you - well worth getting as it has a coupon on it!

Hougie Board

Friday was the kick off day to the annual Summer extravaganza.
It was coffee morning and then Sarah Holden did a fab demo on the Hougie Board.
It is a new 12x12 score board with centimetres on one side and inches on the other.
It is fast becoming the craft gadget of 2010.
They are all sold out for now but more have been ordered.

I couldn't get there to see the 20+ samples that Sarah brought along, but Eileen did and you can see the photos here on facebook.

Thanks Eileen

You can also see more photos on Sarah's Blog.

Coffee Morning, Demos and more!!

Morning!

Just a quick post today!

Firstly - tomorrow is coffee morning - date changed due to classes in Clonegal last weekend.
As usual it runs from 10.30am to 12 ish. Tomorrow's demo is all about using fabric on cards.

Secondly - Saturday is a Demo day - Linda Dawson is coming all the way from Cork to show us the fab new BCE templates that have arrived in the shop. These templates have been featured on Create and Craft and you will be able to produce some stunning results from these. She will also be showing us some fab new decoupage.
Demo runs from 11am to 4.30. Kerry tells me there will be lots of special offers on the day and there is lots of new stock in the shop

And finally a card!! When this stamp set came in the images didn't appeal to me but the wordings were fab. You can see it here in the shop. Now the whole set has grown on me. Below is card that Kerry made from the set.

Bye for now!

Demos, Pictures & New Stock

Hi there,

Well - where do you start. Lots of news & stuff!

First Kerry tells me she has taken delivery of a new range of products - BCE Templates.
Linda Dawson is coming to An Siopa Bui on May 22nd to demo these along with some new die cut decoupage products! So there is a date for your diary!.

Secondly the new stamps from the Artist Proofs range from Hero Arts arrived today. I am in love with these new stamps and all things Hero Arts at the moment. Take a look at their site for ideas and inspiration. They should be on the site in the next day or two - that's if there is any left. I have a few ordered!!

And last but not least - some pictures of the Spring Extravaganza class makes. Here I have some pictures of the wedding album class that Kerry taught. All the products are K & Co.
They came out really well. They papers and embellishments are fab!

Kerry tells me there is a newsletter coming with lots of news and updates.

Free Demo, Nesties & More

Hi there,

It has been all go at An Siopa Bui for the last few days - well it seems to be like that every day now.
Anyway - lots of news and bit and pieces for ye.

First - I've uploaded some new products to the shops site - Darkroom Door stamps and Tim Holtz Crackle paint. Also I've uploaded lots of Nestabilities & Shapeabilities. I have to say my head is well and truly turned by the Darkroom Door stamps. You just have to check out their gallery.

Second - there is a free die-cutting demo in the shop tomorrow (Saturday March 13th). Using Sizzix dies, embossing folders and Spellbinders Nestabilites, Sarah Holden will be making cards, gifts, boxes and more, and showing us how to turn card and paper into something very special.
Amazing Raffle as well with a Sidekick to win, and an amazing second prize of a sweetie box of 500... envelopes in glorious pearlescent colours and all the sizes.
Theme for the day is Cupcakes with a free cupcake for everyone that visits. And if that is not enough there will be 15% of certain Nestabilities & Shapeabilities. Our online customers are not being left out - the 15% off will apply to all Nestabilities & Shapeabilities that are on the site.
We were expecting some new release products from Spellbinders and they will appear online as soon as they arrive.

And last but not least here is a few more of the Clarity samples - these stamps have literally walked out the door leaving us little chance to get them online. As soon as we have some to upload to the shop site we will let ye know.

Bye for now

Demo Day coming up...

.... this Saturday 7th November. Boxes have been arriving and I hear there is great excitement about all the new arrivals. Kerry and Helen will be demonstrating lots of exciting new goodies.

Among these will be the new Texture Boutique Embossing Machine from Sizzix as well as some new embossing folders and dies.


There will also be demos with the new Christmas Embossing Boards from Crafters Companion. These boards are designed to slot into the Ultimate Pro - if you don't have one of these already there well worth looking at as a crafty christmas present.



So what other goodies are to be had on Saturday?? If you haven't heard we are now stocking Sugar Nellie stamps - they are only available in the bricks and mortar shop. There are also the delightful stamps from Darkroom Door and other Tim Holtz/Ranger goodies and I believe there is more boxes due tomorrow.


Also there is a lucky draw for every customer - you should win a prize or get a discount voucher.


The latest newsletter and details of the Christmas Extravaganza were emaile yesterday and will be in the regular post in the next day or two.
I have also added the Extravaganza timetable and class information to the 'Spiddal Extravaganza' tab at the top of the blog. Blogspot doesn't allow you to do attachments so I've had to load them on Scribd first. Hope you can download the info from there. If not you can always contact the shop and get yourself added to our email or postal lists.


Think that's all the news for now


Oiche Mhaith!
