Hi! and welcome to our weekly blog post from Buffalo Stamps and Stuff. I've got a few new photos for you and some updates on the latest and greatest happening here at the store. Let's get right to it!  First up is the Garage Sale (or Yard Sale!)! Mark your calendars, set your iPhone timers and get ready to shop! Sunday, July 30th is our annual Garage Sale. There are spots still available. To sell your gently used paper crafting supplies it's $20 for a 5ft table supplied by us or you can bring your own table up to 8ft. in length. Drop off is at 8:30 for setting up your table. Pick-up is at 1:00 pm. When you register for the sale you will be assigned a number that must appear on all of your merchandise. We are asking that you not price anything under one dollar. We also ask that you not attempt to sell anything that is not a paper crafting item. Please, no needlework, ceramic, metal work or any other hobby products. We monitor the tables for you so you are not required to stay for the event. (But, by all means, stay and shop other tables!) We will total your sales and you will receive a gift certificate to the store for the dollar amount of what you have sold, easy peasy! For you buyers - sale starts at 10 a.m. (yes, I know the time on the sign in the photo is wrong, it will be changed!)- NO EARLY BIRDS! Sharon will lower the flag, shoot off the starters gun, give you a countdown - whatever, no earlier than 10. ALL SALES ARE CASH ONLY!! The day before and the day after our Garage Sale - Friday, July 29th and Monday, July 31st is our Summer Stamp Camp! Registration is now open for this fun event. We will have between 12 and 15 cards for you to do, pizza and drinks will be provided and for the Saturday session we will be using the former Fashion Fuss store. Stamp Camp is $30 On to todays look-sees. First up is new MFT! New dies and replenishment shapes! We have a full selection of the new Distress Oxide Inks and their re-inkers.
No matter what I do these photos will not right themselves! This is new Alexandra Renke holiday papers. Little elves, snowmen, ornaments and winter branches and berries. Also from Renke, adorable children's paper. A circus theme, baby elephants and baby hippos at bath time. Too, too cute!

Hello. I have a fun project that I made yesterday for you this week.
Was in the store on Saturday and picked up the Sizzix Die Set, Succulents (661933) There are six pieces in the set. I made two each of the succulents included in the set and made a little box garden with a wood slatted box that I had kept from a gift I had received. Was a fun project to put together. Hope you like it.
Close up of the Succulents made from the dies. Butterflies are a Martha Stewart Punch
From the front. Overhead view.
The little flowers that decorate the box are Prima. Ribbon and bow from my stash.
Thanks for stopping by today.
Have a great week.
Sue Drees I'm going to start with the good stuff. A date for the Garage Sale has been set. Get your crafty shopping on on Sunday, July 30th! It will be one big crafty weekend. Sharon is renting out the empty store two stores down from us (former Fashion Fuss) and on Saturday we will be hosting our Summer Stamp Camp revisited. Summer Stamp Camp will begin on Saturday, July 29th in the Fashion Fuss location from 10-4. We will be providing pizza for lunch and drinks. We're are asking everyone to bring a snack to pass (to keep your energy up!) You will be doing 12-15 cards and we will have more than one basket per card to help the baskets move. We know some of you work quicker and some slower. Having multiple baskets will enable you speed demons to move through the cards quicker. There will be a 20% discount on featured items! The cost for the day is $40. We will begin taking reservations starting over the weekend. We will also have our other dates for slow Stamp Camp posted shortly. Back to the Garage Sale. We will have an e-mail going out shortly but here is what we are planning on. To purchase a table we provide, the cost is $20. At this time you are limited to one table per person for tables we provide and our tables are limited. Each table we provide is 5ft. in length. If you want to provide your own table it's still $20, but you can bring a table up to 8ft. in length. You can also share a table with a friend. We will begin taking reservations this weekend. For those of you wanting to shop, remember all GS sales are CASH ONLY! I believe the sale times will be from 10-1, we will confirm in our email. For vendors, please bring only those stamping, scrapbooking and paper crafting items that are similar to what we sell in the store. Please, no supplies from other crafting hobbies such as needlework, woodworking, ceramic, etc. Set up begins at 8:30 a.m. and we ask that you break down your table at 1:00 p.m. Again, we will update you with the latest and greatest in future emails. On to the product! Beginning Monday it's our Wild and Wacky Week Sale! Starting this Monday all regular priced merchandise is 20% off for the week!* On Saturday the Wacky part starts.

You can come in at 6:30, get your coupon and shop OR go out for breakfast and come back any time later in the day and shop and get the benefit of your coupon! * Please note: Regular exculsions apply! Copics, Big Shots and other items that are normally not discounted or can only be discounted a certain percentage due to purchasing contracts are not a part of this sale!I've got a few new things this week, but again, we are in the summer doldrums for a few weeks until the new items for fall start rolling in. As I've mentioned, Sharon will be going to a summer show shortly and many of those new items will be rolling in in August and we will be featuring many new releases at the Stamp, Scrap, Art Tour the end of August. We have tickets for sale at the store for $6 per ticket and if you buy two or more they are $5! They're here! The new Distress Oxide inks are in! We still have about a half dozen of each color available. Staying on the Time Holtz train; we have these three travel bags for your craft supplies. Clockwise, the top bag opens to multiple plastic pockets then closes portfolio style. The long handled bag is a deep pocket, wide gusseted bag with large outside pockets. The tall bag at the bottom has the unique feature of a swivel bottom! Set it down on the table and turn it as you work to access all your supplies! Newton's Nook! a cute new stamp line for us. Squiggles from Stampingbella. These are becoming very popular. Many cute images to color. Clarity stencil brushes are back in but they are going quick!
