We are so Excited! We are getting Nestabilities!

You may be wondering why we would be so excited over getting a product in the store, but seriously, these are great! We have received some request to carry the Spellbinders dies, and are happy that soon we will be able to fulfill these requests. We are particularly excited about the Nestabilities dies.
If you haven't heard of them, you will soon. Everyone seems to be using them in paper craft and stamping magazines lately, as well as a ton of crafty bloggers online. Some of us Tri-M employees couldn't live without them and purchased some online (shhh...don't tell Kathey). Fortunately, now that we have used them, we will able to share our knowledge with you when they come in.
For now, check out this video that explains how Spellbinders dies work, and are abble to work in different die cutting machines (this means more than than likely you won't have to replace the machine you already own, yay!):

And here is a video showing a cool trick with the Nestablilties dies:

A Winner, New Products, and a New Class

First, I would like to thank everyone who participated in our latest survey. The information we are gathering is really beneficial to us, and we appreciate you taking the time out to help us. Of course, we need to announce a winner for the drawing. I used a number generator to keep things fair, and here are the results..


and lucky #3 is Karla I.
Congrats to Karla, who won a Cricut paper trimmer and a $10 gift certificate!

We also have some great new products from Hero Arts in stock. I love this little owl...

...and can see making a lot of cards using these clear stamps. They come with gorgeous flower- shaped gems.

These Monograms Sets are really fun also. They also come with gemstones and the possibilities are endless when it comes to ideas using these stamps. Notice all the little extras included, like the flowers, birds, and frames.

We have three varieties of these flowers back in stock. Last time we got them in, they were gone within the weeks, so get yours soon!


These Designblock stamps make it so easy to create backgrounds for cards and pages.

Also in are the Great Impressions Stamps of the Month and the coordinating patterned paper. Click on the photo to see more detail.


I have created a new page class just in time for Father's Day. This will make a great keepsake for dad, and we'll even make a coordinating card!
The class will be held Saturday, June 14th, at 10 am. Please bring a trimmer and adhesive. All other supplies will be provided. Pre-registration is required.

Lastly, watch for a new video tutorial coming soon, as well as more classes and incoming products!
