Free Samples....

We had SUCH amazing response from our post regarding #922 Custom Stripe - and how you can use it wth SRM Pillow Boxes to make party favors... WOW! I just can't believe the excitement! I'm so glad that you guys liked my idea. YAY!!


Anyway, we are going to print up some samples in several different colors and we'll put them on the website. You'll be able to order a "sample pack" of 6 half sheets, plus 6 SRM Pillow Boxes. It will be an $8+ value, but will only cost $5 and will be free with orders of over $50* in product, plus free freight.

Then you can use the papers and the pillow boxes to make samples at your store using flowers, ribbon, twine and other embellishments that you sell to show customers how quick and easy and INEXPENSIVE these party favors are!

Weddings, Showers, Quenceanears, Birthday Parties, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs... You name it!

Stay tuned! Those will be on the website sometime in April.

And, any order placed starting TODAY, if you want the deal when it becomes available, just place a $50* order and then shoot me an email letting me know that you want "the deal" and I'll mail the items at no charge when they are ready!
Have a great weekend everyone!


*$50 is in product, not including shipping.

An Apple A Day....

Do you have Teacher Apprecation Day at your local elementary schools??? What about offering a customized paper for a specific Teacher and School??? Check out #1807...

Did you realize that it's actually a computer screen? This is with a silver border (screen) and white background:
 
This is a silver border and background:
 
Or maybe you skip the border (this is a grey background):

 
 
Or no background and no border:

Also consider, "First Day of School", "2nd Grade Promotion", or other events... Could it be for food? Dentist? What do you think? How would you use this template???

Thanks for reading!!

Military

Do you have a lot of Military members in your community? Maybe there is a base near you or a training camp? What about creating a paper for them?  It can be generic to one branch, or specific to your area. These are a few that our staff designed:

"US Army"/"Army of One"
 
 
"Marines"/"Semper Fidelis" 
 
"USCG"/"Semper Paratus"
 
"US Air Force"/"Aim High"

"US Navy"/"Est 1775"

Another "Small Step"....

Again, keeping in line with the idea of updating the website....

This one was pretty easy, but because the former owners of Scrappin' Sports had also "Stock" or "Warehouse" or "Catalog" items, when you entered to order you would go to a screen that showed the two options and you picked one: Catalog or Custom.

Well, without Catalog items, you were clicking into the website, just to click again to get to the custom paper templates.... We were able to eliminate that extra step.

So, again, not a HUGE deal, but I know it was bugging me when I would log in!!

Log in and check it out!

Baby Steps...

So, since Day 1 that we bought this business, we have wanted to make some changes and our first one happened!!

It's just something small and we will defnitely improve on it, but I know that for us, it will be VERY helpful, so we hope you agree!!


Anyway, here it is. This is in the shopping cart...

Before:

After:



Notice anything different? See anything you like????


THE TEXT!!!

The words in your text boxes from your paper that you just created will now show in your shopping cart and on your purchase order that is enclosed with your shipment!!

I know it was always so frustrating creating papers and then thinking: "Wait! Did I do that one already?" and having to keep notes as you went along and going back and opening up every image again to see if you missed one or made a duplicate.... Or getting the order and trying to reconcile it to a vague packing list.... WELL, NO MORE!!! :)

So, yes, it's a small change, but we really hope you like it!! I know that I'm excited!!

Let us know what other changes, improvements, or new styles you'd like to see! We have a long list already, but we'd love to hear your thoughts!

#906 Custom Spirit Names

This is a GREAT template for lots of uses!!

It is whimsical AND it has repetition! So, it's great for anything fun and happy, or anything where you want to cut it apart for cards, etc.
 
So, is your kiddo having a birthday party and you want to make favors?
 
Or maybe it's Nanna's 100th Birthday... 
 
You can also use it for local schools, local events, your city name, etc.
 
Did you see our post about creating party favors? These would be GREAT for them!!!

Check out this other post for ideas:

#904 Custom Leather Grain

I'm so surprised to see that customers don't order this style more often... It allows for a lot of versitility and allows a lot of space for pictures.

This paper has a border. There are two companion pages that show the border for a left and right page.

Here, we took the border out using "No Color".

So, this is White, White, No Color, Blue for the textured background for this school:

 
Or.... if you want to take the texture out, then, reverse the colors and have
blue, blue, no color, no color and:
 
 
Let us know your thoughts about this template!!!

WE WANT YOUR FEEDBACK!!!
