May 2010 Classes & Events

STAMP WORKS MAY 2010
Newsletter & Classes


Hello My Fellow Stampers,

Well it’s that time of year again when the weather starts to get warmer and you know what that means. It’s a great time to get stamping!!! And to get you off to a fun start why not join in the fun with the Stamp, Paper, Scissors Craft Hop from May 15th to May 29th. There are 11 stores all over Arizona participating this year. All you need to do is purchase a passport for $7 and that enables you to receive a 15% discount on all purchases you make in each participating store and free make-n-takes, where available. We will be having a different make-n-take everyday during the hop. For an additional $18, you will receive a large black tote with custom pink embroidery on it. The tote is a $40 value. It is big enough to hold a Cricket machine. The $18 that you pay also enables you to receive a 20% discount on all purchases made during the craft hop rather than the 15% with the passport. In order for everyone to have the opportunity to participate, we will be having special hours during the hop. We will be open Tuesday thru Saturday 10a.m. to 7 p.m. Why not join the fun and special savings!!!

New at Stamp Works: The Copic Café. Lori Barnett is a Certified Copic Designer and is offering a new series of classes called The Copic Cafe’. These classes will focus on specific topics and techniques. She will have a variety of sessions for all skill levels. Isn’t this exciting! Whether you are new to Copic’s or have been using them already, you are sure to find a workshop of interest.
