All But The Travel Trade Show!

Are you participating in this

"Trade Show In A Box"??

WE ARE!

We have just been given the number of stores and are happy to hear that nearly 200 stores across the US signed up!

So, we are creating our papers to ship to you! We want them to be generic enough that a scrap or stamp store could use them; that they could be used in scrapbooking or Pocket Page style work; and we are trying to keep our colors neutral for you... These are a few of the designs that we are contemplating.

Let us know what you think and if you signed up, what would YOU like to receive? Maybe it's something we hadn't considered!!

NOTE! Styles, colors, papers may vary from what is shown here - these are merely possibilities. We haven't finalized our order yet.

Graduation is coming....

Make custom paper into personalized

Graduation Announcements!

Since you only need to order a minimum of 12 sheets, and you can order in any increment above that, take special orders for paper!

Want to make it even more custom? 

Make "Class of 2014" paper in your local high school's colors...

Or, have a parent who wants specialized invitations?

 Take prepaid special orders for 

papers in specific school colors, 

with the graduation year

AND the student's name!

Welcome to #1821 - Make Your Own Background!!!

Our first brand new template is up and running!!!

 

Welcome #1821:

Upload a picture of that old covered bridge in your area and create something for tourists.

Or what about a customer's baseball team?

 

The options are literally endless!!!

 

Congratulations!!

One of our long-time employees has just graduated from San Diego State University with her BA in History. She has been with us since High School! 

 

She worked so hard, did great, worked for us all through her years there, and we are all so proud of her!!

So, we closed the store early last night and all of the staff went out to a local Mexican restaurant for a dinner in her honor.

 

She is going on a cruise with her boyfriend in about a week, and she LOVES the Eiffel Tower so I found this cute, eclectic necklace and couldn't resist:

 

I wrapped it in tissue and then, of course, put it in an SRM pillow box, used a strip of our paper, some ribbon, and an SRM sticker for the packaging:

 

 

 

 

and Voila!!

 

 

a VERY quick and easy package for her gift!

 

 

Congratulations again Mandy!!!

 

 

 

 

 

Please note - you need to observe caution when creating paper for colleges and universities. Only use non-licensed words and phrases.

 

 

 

 

 

Free Stuff!!!

So, good news, bad news...

Based on the AMAZING response to our post about using our papers for custom invitations, starting 4/15/13, we offered to you that if you placed a $50* order for product and requested our "deal" via email, we said we would ship you 6 half-sheets of custom paper,
plus 6 medium pillow boxes from SRM Press at no charge.

Well, we picked up the pillow boxes a couple of weeks ago and the paper came in the other day.

BUT, I'm a dork and I only ordered 5 papers.... our offer was for 6 papers (DUH!)

So, you have two choices:

1) you can wait for us to get the 6th paper into stock (another 3-4 weeks), or

2) you can accept the 5 half-sheets plus 5 pillow boxes now... still at no charge for orders of more than $50*

These are our current 5 papers that we created and will be sending out (a half sheet of each).

We want you to use flowers, ribbon, twine, etc, that you have in your store to create samples to show your customers how they can use custom paper for party favors, invitations, etc.

Since we have a minimum of 12 sheets per style, you can easily place an order for the paper designed specifically for one customer.

Place your $50* order now and email us to say that you want "the deal" and we'll mail it out to you!

(If you want to wait for a 6th style to be available, please let us know in your email).

*$50 is before shipping.

Graduation is just around the corner!!!

It's time to stock up on Graduation papers

for your local schools!

This paper allows you to customize the color of the mortar board, tassle, and ribbon. You can also add in two lines of text. Do you see in the middle where is says "Your School Here"? That's one and it shows in 5 places. And then there is a repeating (small) "2013"  towards the top right and then the middle left and then further down on the left.

#922

This is a great template for graduation, "Class of ...", a school name, or even the name and/or degree of a person. What about a whole elementary classroom? LOTS of choices! And you can make the borders the same color as the rest and remove the lines.

 #910

Choose the background color, the mortar board color, and then colors for the two rows of text.

You can do the Senior class for your local High School(s).
Or, maybe a specific classroom wants to do a paper for Mrs. Golden's First Grade Promotion.

Or use them for graduation announcements for a specific person, a specific degree, a specific date, etc.

LOTS of choices!!

 

#908

GREAT for invitations/graduation announcements!

 

Use them for a specific School, a Specific Class, or a specific person!

Maybe someone is graduating from Grad School....

Substitute their name and their degree!
