Wish List...

Did we mention that you can make your own customized Wish List? It's easy and fun to do, come "Faux Shop" for yourself and make your own Wish List for the Holidays, Birthday or any other special occasion. Now all of those people who say "You're so hard to shop for" can come into Mystic Paper and we'll print them out your customized Wish List. We'll even help them shop for your special items. Fun for you, and easy for them!

Who would ever guess that you might want some skeleton paper, some flux for soldering and a melting pot?! (This is an actual Wish List pile of goodies)

A little of this and a little of that...

That's what today's blog is about. This is a super cute workshop that will be taught on Saturday, December 8th 2:00 P.M. - 4:00 P.M. The cost is $10.00 and you will leave with two of these...

Who doesn't give gift cards to at least some of your friends or relatives?

This way you are still giving them something personally made by you as well as the Gift Card!

This is the second workshop that will be taught on Saturday, December 8th from 5:00 P.M. - 7:00 P.M. The cost is $10.00 and you will have the perfect little gift book, or gift card holder for that special coffee lover in your life. You can personalize it to fit that caffeinated person that is dear to your heart.

Saturday December 8th is going to be a busy day in Mystic Paper's new classroom. This soldering class called "Charming Charms" will be taught that morning 10:00 A.M. - 1:30 P.M. with Josie Cirincione. Soldering small charms is one of the hardest things to solder. Learn the technique from a pro and you'll go home and start making all kinds of jewelry!

Are you still looking for some gorgeous double sided Christmas paper? I think Mystic Paper may have just what you're looking for! This gorgeous paper is made by Webster's Pages and is called Winter Wonderland.

There are twelve sheets of double sided paper in each pack.

Ooohhhhh Aaaahhhhh! (Kim might mean Falalalalaaaahhh! -jw)

And two metallic 8 1/2 x 11 sheets. And the best part is they are now on sale, and of course we have a limited supply!

We are also completely restocked with Figgy Pudding, more designs than the last order that we received. So if you are ready to start making Christmas cards now is the time to get all of your papers and embellishments.

Make and Take at Mystic Paper's Creative Cafe this Thursday!

That's right, come join Kim at the Creative Cafe this Thursday for a free Make and Take.

Many people have come by or called to ask, "just what is the Creative Cafe- really"? The Creative Cafe is such a new experience that it does require some explaination. Have you ever been to a smorgasbord that is just full of different kinds of food to eat? Well, the Creative Cafe is just like a smorgasbord for crafters! You will find a counter surrounded with bins of buttons, tags, flowers, tags and more. We have a stunning double sided paper line along with exclusive embellishments and rub-ons. This line is color coordinated and very versatile. This free little make and take will give you a chance to see what it's all about!

So come check it out this Thurday from 12:00 P.M. to 2:00 P.M. and also from 6:00 P.M. to 7:00 P.M. to make this cute little bird at the Creative Cafe. If you have yet to use a die-cut machine you will get to experience the Accu-cut Machine to cut out the bird. We will also be using the Scor-it board, a little glue and some ribbon. Quick, simple and free!

Look who's at the Bar!

I figured since he delivered it we needed a picture of him sitting at it. Well, he didn't deliver the bar but he did deliver the Creative Cafe! Thanks Jeff!

New product today...the Bo Bunny Chipboard Word Albums. We got Believe, Love, Family and Friends. Fun stuff!

In case you didn't get the e-mail we will be open tomorrow (Sunday Nov. 4th) for all of you going to the Rubber Stamp Show tomorrow. We're right around the corner!

It's Here...It's Open...and it's waiting for you!

Our Creative Cafe and Art Bar is open and now serving up a creative overdose of fun! Buttons, felt flowers, felt words, tags, chipboard pieces, brads, felt ribbons, velvet ribbons, felt paper, double sided papers, stickers, and die cuts. All of these fun things can be bought by the each and the best part is they are all color coordinated for you. We will be hosting a Happy Hour a couple of times each week and you can also come in and sit at the Art Bar and create when the urge strikes!

We have also added something that Mystic Paper has waited for since we opened our doors. But, being an independent you must grow in baby steps and Mystic Paper has done just that for over 3 years now! We now have a die-cut machine! Insert ecstatic screams of delight here.

So, please come join us at the Cafe for some fun!

We have new Family Ancestry Kits from K & Co.

New Crown Mask from Heidi Swapp and small, self adhesive chipboard variety packs of crowns, hearts, butterflys, stars, and flowers.

A new swirl mask from Heidi Swapp.

New Water Color Sets for you creative artists that paint. We also have the new Prima Water Color Papers that these would be perfect for.

Here is another upcoming class. This project was published in Somersets recent Holiday issue so you know it's a good one! This is Judy Bidwell's "Yes Virginia There Is A Santa Claus Puzzle Book. It was in the store for quite awhile before she sent it off to be considered for publication and lots of you admired it and wanted her to teach it. It's back from the publisher now and Judy is teaching it on Saturday, November 17 at 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. Remember we have relocated our classroom and have lots of room for you to spread out!

This will get you in the Christmas spirit!

Love the graphics!

That's it for tonight. We will be announcing Happy Hour dates and times in the next couple of days, but don't wait for that, come by and check out our Cafe!

Bon Soir...

I think that means good evening. But I know that this new Chipboard by Creative Imaginations is called bon soir d-mensions. It's got the Eiffel Tower, Fleur de lis, swirls, and birds. Everything we love so much here at Mystic Paper!

Here's an after picture with some ideas of what can be done with this Chipboard.

Have you got a sweet tooth? This should satisfy it. New Chipboard in the Sweet Tooth Line from Creative Imaginations.

New Gaffer Tape from 7 Gypsies for the new Pretoria line! Ooooohhh pretty!

Restocked Gaffer Tape for the Zanzibar Line.

7 Gypsies is discontinuing their line of wax seals. Whaaaaaaa! Because of that they discounted our buying price on them and Mystic Paper is happy to pass the savings on to you. We got a good supply of the wax seals so come by and stock up. It's the old "once they're gone, they're gone" thing again!

Mystic Paper doesn't usually post pictures of our classes on the blog but this was an emergency! You see, Jennifer is out of town (in San Francisco playing) and I don't know how to post pictures on the web site so I'm doing what I know! This is an upcoming class taught by Caroline Miller.

Oops! I guess this book is on the web site...oh well, another little plug. This is a gatefold book using tons of 7 Gypsies product. You will learn unique ways to use 7 Gypsies product and will leave with a book perfect for showcasing your family photos. It is being held on Saturday, November 17th from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. The cost is only $48.00. Call quick to sign up!

This is the class that isn't on the web site yet. This is another altered book by Caroline Miller. It is called Old Fashioned Christmas. That is actually Santa's pocket watch set into the cover! Too cool!

You will create 12 keepsake pages to record your twelve days of Christmas.

Lots of pockets and tags...

Old Fashioned Christmas is being taught on Saturday, December 15th from 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. The cost is $60.00. This class is sure to fill up fast!

Call for Teachers...

Mystic Paper is putting the word out for new teachers! Guest Artists- who can teach from time to time, whenever the urge hits you, and Permanent Teachers- who can teach anywhere from one to one hundred classes per month.
Now that we have a much larger classroom, (that isn't in the middle of our store) we can have classes all day long if we want to.
We know some of you are out there hiding away in blog land. Visiting Guest Artists- even you ladies who come out to Arizona to visit, (hint, hint) we can set something up in advance for you to come teach. Doesn't that sound exciting? We think so!
