Paper Maniac Blog Candy

Paper Maniac Store will be opening on September 1st and will be offering a line of cardmaking kits that will be available in two options. The first, Almost Done, will include all the pre-cut pieces and embellishments to put together eight cards. These will be high-quality, well-designed cards with lots of layers, mats, patterned paper, cardstock, dry embossing, layers shaped by nesties, ribbons, bling and what have you. Complete directions will be provided for assembly. The only part open to interpretation will be the focal point and the sentiment(s). Each card will include a pre-cut piece of premium white or cream cardstock suitable for stamping and/or coloring OR non-stamp alternatives will be suggested for those that prefer not to stamp. Most of the cards will be A2 size, but the occasional square or special shape will find its way into the box. Kits will be packaged in 8” square boxes lined in blue tissue matching the logo. I have gotten many questions about how to make layered cards, or comments about how they would like to make cards like that but don’t have time. Now there will be no more excuses.

The second option will be called Make It Your Own and will include the same materials as in the Almost Done kit, but nothing will be precut. In other words, you get cardstock, patterned paper, envelopes and all the embellies, but you get to decide how to put it together. In most cases patterned paper will be double sided to increase the options.
Paper Maniac is also selling Unity Store Kits. My card uses a stamp from the August kit 100% Happy. We are happy to announce a fantastic opportunity for you to get this kit as well as future Unity Kit of the Months with our fantastic AUTOSHIP option. What makes Paper Maniac's autoship option different and wonderful? There are three main reasons why:

1. You will receive each Unity KOTM at 20% off the retail price of $45.00. That’s $36.00 and shipping will be $4.00. (International shipping will be actual cost minus $4.00).
2. If we get 20 people to sign up for the autoship feature, a randomly selected person from those who have subscriptions will be chosen EACH MONTH to receive a FREE kit. *** (Update: we are already halfway to the magic number!)
   
3. No need to order each kit every month, which means more time for actual papercrafting!

***A few other details – if you sign up for autoship, you can skip a shipment once in a six month period if you notify us by the first of the month. If you are the lucky recipient of a free kit one month, your name will be taken off the prize eligibility list for the next two months to give someone else a chance to win.

Remember the Store opens on September st and from the 1st - 6th you can get 15% off your entire purchase by using the coupon code Grand15. Your next stop on the hop is Cindy Coutts she has something beautiful to show you. In case you get lost in the shuffle here is the blog hp lineup
