Paper Maniac Grand Opening is TODAY!

Today is the grand opening of a new online fabulous store that I am totally in love with and have had the privilege of watching it all come together as an inaugural design team member. Congratulations to Patti, the owner of Paper Maniac! If you love paper, this is the place to go. It’s a very classy and elegant store catering to the passionate paper crafter and I am passionate about my paper and everything else that goes along with it! Be sure to read Sunday’s Blog Hop post that I made. The blog hop ends on September 6 and the winner will be announced on September 7. You still have a chance to hop along.

I got a sneak peak at the store last night and it’s hot!! There’s a ton of cute stamps in the Dollar Store. When Patti runs across a terrific bargain at the wholesalers on stuff that is somewhat interesting, she will buy it and pass the savings along to our wonderful customers, YOU! This month she was able to pick up some little 2” acrylic stamps from imaginisce (note they don’t use a capital in their company name) that will be selling for an amazing 25 cents! The sets with multiple stamps will be 50 – 75 cents. I have some of these and they are just adorable.

We have so much going on for the grand opening. We have a blog hop with some very sweet and generous blog candy, a design team that just rocks, Unity Stamp Company exclusive store kits, October Afternoon and Cosmo Cricket (totally love) paper, and the list goes on. What I am so personally excited over is the new September Unity Store Kit of the Month and another 15 new Unity stamp sets that will be available for you to purchase!! I can’t wait to get my hands on these. Don’t forget about our Autoship program for extra savings. There’s just a few Unity August 100% Happy Kit of the Month stamps left so get yours today. Once they are gone, they’re gone and gone for good.

AND, here’s a little secret —

The challenge is to either use heat or dry embossing on your card and I’ll share my challenge card with you below.
