Dear smidapaper friends,

I’m wondering if all of you had the opportunity to take a little break from the everyday, whether for Easter weekend or ‘spring break.’ The thing about living in a tropical country is that the seasons are not defined. Well, in fact it’s either hot, or rainy. I did manage to do a spot of traveling and experience a little bit of cool weather, though. More importantly, I had the chance to catch up with family and friends, which was one of my goals for this year of semi retirement. To be sure there was a lot of photo taking and the task that lies ahead is to catch up with “Project Life” which is a week by week memory log of the entire year inspired by Ali Edwards. (Go to the modern Vintage blog for some peeks on the project)

The weekend store reopened after the break with a mini sale.Everything in the store, including new arrivals, is discounted with the following conditions:

any 3 items at 15% off, must be purchased in multiples of 3
any 5 patterned paper at 20% off, purchase in multiples of 5

(note : if you buy 3 patterned papers then a 15% discount will be applied)

 

 

We have also established a bargain corner, not just a trolley , but a whole section dedicated to not absolutely current but still totally awesome products. Here you will find deep bargains such as our RM5 for 3 pcs patterned paper racks, RM 5 items (some originally priced at RM45), these include rub ons, trims, sticker and die cut sheets and more. You might also want to look out for the 50% section, clear stamps, chipboard albums, ultra thick embossing powder and other goodies are sitting here waiting for a new home. Bargain corner items are replenished weekly so come by often. You never know what treasure you might unearth! (Note: this section is cash only)

Ah, treasure! To a crafter, new supplies are indeed a treasure and we’ve brought in some to delight. Look out for new product from Crate Paper, Amy Tangerine, Cosmo Cricket and Pink Paislee. Also random replenishments, distress inks and stuff like that. Remember, all new product comes under the 15% magic wand as well, in multiples of 3 and 20% for paper in multiples of 5.

I’ve re inserted our shopping days card, in case you’re new and forgotten how our store works or if you’ve forgotten which days we’re open. Stop by the store to pick up a shopping day postcard so you’ll always know when to shop at smidapaper.

One last thing! If you have a valid smidapaper stamp card you are now automatically entitled to a 10% discount every day until the end of May. And if you’re new, enjoy this privilege with a minimum RM50 purchase.

More updates soon! I am looking forward to seeing you at the store and to welcome you once again to the creative life.

See you soon!

Come and check out this new, quirky range from October Afternoon now available at the store.

With all the excitement I’ve not had a chance to announce our new arrivals . I hope they’re still in stock although I fear the Amy Tangerine leaves are all gone =( Anyway, here they are, some wooden accents from Maya Road and replenishment of their stick pins.

Boarding Pass from October Afternoon.

Amy Tangerine’s lovely fabric & stitched paper and embellishments. (I really should get some)

There’s a box of October afternoon’s sidewalk collection waiting to be released too but for some reason the patterned paper was missing. As soon as they fix that, I’ll update . See you soon & happy crafting.

Simple Stories is a scrapbook product brand that is all about making your scrapbooking simple and letting you tell your stories simply. Sounds good eh? This time around we’ve got two really great product ranges in store for two of the most scrapbooked themes; birthdays and babies!

So I must admit I haven’t been too diligent about keeping up with every CHA release of new and exciting goodies, but I have been somewhat keeping tabs and slowly hoarding a mass of products but can I ask you all; WHEN DID CRATE PAPER GET SO AWESOME??  It is now vying for favourite brand in my books alongside MME and I have had a long love affair with My Mind’s Eye.

The colours of Crate Paper’s collections are now more vibrant and the designs just perfect for ANY project you can imagine. Here’s a sneak peek at what’s going to be gracing the happy shelves at smidapaper…

FARMHOUSE COLLECTION

Barnyard reds, pumpkin oranges, hay yellows, field greens and other happy colours make up this collection. The shades of fall and a little homey goodness are going to make this collection one of your favourites I’m sure.

RANDOM COLLECTION

Fuchsia pink, navy blue, teal, vintage motifs, grandma’s tablecloth type florals and a medley of textures characterize this collection. Because random means you can use this for just about anything, like when you need a little something different to make your projects pop or to balance out the predictable.

PEPPERMINT COLLECTION

It’s that time of year again when Santa’s red suit begins to edge itself out of the closet, and candy canes, baubles and gingerbread men dance across your dreams. The prerequisite emblems of Christmas and winter are taken to new level with Crate Paper’s unique brand of quirky modern vintage.

Note: Our hot faves from these collections are the layered wheel embellishments and chipboard embellishments. You have been warned.
