A (LITERAL!) Rainbow of Buttons

Got buttons?  Need more?  Paper Anthology’s got you covered! This bright and beautiful 6×6 canvas board project is from a Collins Show class by (who else?) Buttons Galore and features their Shimmerz and Sprinklets as well as LOTS of Buttons and Sequins from their excellent Lilac Lane division! This sort of project could also use Brads, Enamel Dots and Mini Prills; it’s a great way to use up the last few embellishments in any pack; OR… a great excuse to buy more! Fill ANY shape, or cover a box lid or journal; use the whole rainbow, or focus on one favorite color. Don’t forget to grab a great clear-drying adhesive like iCraft Ultra Bond, 3-in-1 Advanced Craft Glue or Nuvo Deluxe.

Garage Sale 9-30-23!

What are you doing next Saturday, September 30th? If you’re a bargain-loving papercrafter within driving distance of Morris County, New Jersey, we have a REALLY great suggestion!

WHAT: The famous Paper Anthology Papercrafters’ Garage Sale!

WHEN: Saturday, September 30, 2023 10am-5pm

WHERE: At Paper Anthology, 717 US Highway 46, Kenvil, NJ 07847 (<< click link for map!)

WHO: Thirty-two vendors… the most ever!

WHY: Because we all looooooooove bargains, right?!

BRING: Your own bag!!!

What amazing goodies will our THIRTY-TWO (yes, 32!) vendors be bringing along to this year’s Garage Sale? The only way to find out is to come to the sale; but seeing as we’ve set a new record for participation, we expect the selection of gently used items at bargain prices to be outstanding. If you’ve never been to Paper Anthology, this once-a-year event is definitely worth the trip! In addition to the garage sale goodies, you can also shop our amazing selection of brand new stamps, dies, stencils, paper, embellishments, paint, ink, embossing powder and pretty much anything else your papercrafting heart desires. There’s no need to bring cash, you’ll pay for all purchases at one time and we accept all major credit cards. Be sure to wear comfy shoes (there’s LOTS to see!) and please bring your own reusable bags. Just a reminder that this is one of the few days in our year that we don’t award punches on our Paper Anthology loyalty cards.

**********

If you’re a vendor and would like a Reminder of Vendor Info just click that bold text to access the original vendors post OR check your email for a message from Elisabeth, especially noting that we’re running a bit short on tables, so if you’re able to drop one off with your sale items, it’ll be much appreciated.

If you’re NOT one of this year’s vendors, we highly recommend using the button on the sidebar of this page to register for emails when the blog posts; we’ll never send you spam and you’ll be amongst the first to know when the call for vendors goes out next June for the 2024 sale. Plus, you’ll hear about our big TWELFTH Anniversary Party coming up in November, the minute we’ve set the date!

August CCC!

Still 11 days left before this month’s Christmas Card Club and I already have the card designed!    This month I channeled all my favorite things – wood, plaid, gingham and a rustic cabin feel.  I used Stampers Anonymous “Festive Overlays” set  (another favorite thing) for the main image and sentiment. (die cut with Taylored Expressions awesome stitched and scallop sets).   The plaid is a Studio 490 background stamp and the woodgrain is a Sizzix 3D embossing folder.  My all time favorite May Arts ribbon, some die cuts from Penny Blackj and Elizabeth Crafts, along with a sprinkling of star sequins from Buttons Galore finish it off (not to mention a bunch of distress ink)!

 

Thanks for stopping by, leave a comment and let me know what you think!
