Good morning and I know that many of you have sent me mails….“ARE YOU GOING TO DO A PRODUCT SHARE?” Yep, you betcha! My catalogs were mailed to my customers last week and I am sure that many of you that have the catalogs are waiting for a product share to roll around!
Today I am just showcasing the Swatch Books and Card Stock Swatches on a Ring and then pop back tomorrow and I will showcase the rest of the Product Share that I am offering. I decided to do it this way because I know that it is a lot to take in….so breaking it down might be helpful to people that are new to shares.
The (2) shares that I am showcasing today are what I call “lifesavers to me” – these are what I like to call my friends in my work area because they are something that I reach for and “lean on” like a great friend.
I am all about making things easier to grab and decide when I am creating because face it – that is what it is about….to have fun and not be frustrated. These (2) shares keep me happy, on my toes and in a nut shell…I “could not – would not” be without them!
If you have purchased these from me in the past, please leave a comment and let people know how you like them. I will say that once you have them…you will always order them because they take up so little room but are chocked full of info to make your creating fun and enjoyable.
Share #1 – Swatch Books $37.50 (There are 15 swatch books of amazing new paper) FREE SHIPPING 😆
These Swatch Books are a dream to not have the clutter on your work area of full sheets of paper – trying to decide what would work for you….and what wouldn’t. The swatches allow you to flip through and see the colors and patterns….figure out how you can mix and match.
Each Swatch Book will have all of the info you need….the DSP name, item #, price, colors that coordinate…this in itself deserves a WOOT-WOOT! Here is the back with all of the “vitals” 😀
Share #2 – Card Stock Swatches on a Ring $8.00
I offer these at every Product Share because they are not only helpful but they also make a wonderful gift for a crafty friend or downline and this is a tool that I reach for DAILY! (Actually the Swatch Books and Card Stock Ring share the same tin on my workspace)
You will get all of our Card Stocks all with the name and color family on each swatch. You can see how handy this would be to pull out several colors to see how you like them together. I have them divided by color family and they do include the Thick Card Stock in Very Vanilla and Whisper White. In total you will receive 52 Card Stock Swatches plus the dividers all on a ring!
SHIPPING:
- If you are ordering Share #1 – The Swatch Books – SHIPPING IS FREE!
- If you are ordering Share #2 – Card Stock Swatches – Shipping is $3.50
If you would like one of these shares, please email me and put in the Subject Line – PRODUCT SHARE so I can SPOT IT and I will reserve a share for you. I use Pay Pal and I will send an acknowledgment email to you and then I will do a Pay Pal Invoice.
Please remember that I cannot order the Designer Series Paper until June 1st (yippee – that is just 2 weeks from today) but know that I always ship my order expedited so in turn I will get your shares OUT THE DOOR TO YOU as fast as my hands can cut, label and ship! (I already have a surplus of the Share #2 ready to rumble)
I hope that you will pop back tomorrow to see the offerings for the remainder of the Product Shares that I will be offering….paper, ribbon, embellishments…..OH MY!!!
Have a GREAT DAY and get excited to get your shares ordered and off your mind – time to focus and take in the NEW CATALOG….this is always an exciting time of the year!
Looking forward to your shares. You put so much thought in how you will present the new products. I love the fact the you include labels with everything too.
I know that this is crazy but…I really do enjoy doing the share for you all! I just turn the music up….talk to the dogs (and myself) and get it done! There is just something fun about it because I just try to envision people faces when they get their Happy Mail from me!
I always debate whether I really need the swatches…I get them though and they do make it easier to pick out card stock and DSP!! Truly time savers!
I know and I hear you. I actually tried to make up a set eons ago and was super frustrated with the process in just making one set. I have learned how to mass produce it but I will say….these are the 1st thing I make as they are a process – as the theory goes…always do the hardest/most time consuming thing 1st and then the rest is a breeze!
I ordered the cardstock swatches last year & I love them! They sit on my craft desk & I reach for them often! Thanks for helping us our by making this great option available! Order this-you’ll be glad you did! 🙂 Andrea
Let me ask you….do you sit and stare at them sitting on your desk? I find that I often look at them, pick them up…..flip,…flip….then smile…smile – there is just something special and rewarding to have them.
Sometimes I think it is like something that we are on the fence about buying because of the price….and then once we do – we find out that WOW – I am SO GLAD THAT I DID THAT….once you are hooked on the ease and help they are for you when you create….the cost of the is not the forefront! (hope that this made sense) – Thanks for chiming in!
I have the cardstock swatch and it is handy dandy! I have been seen at Walmart and one of our grocery stores matching the paper with treats more times than I can remember. It is hell to get old ya know! Besides we can’t have a delectable treat in a wrapper that clashes with the pretty holder can we? Or poppers that you have made with care to clash terribly with the vehicle you are going to hang a bag of them to the handle. I have also taken them to the quilt shop and other places that sell fabric and felt to go with a flower wrapper or something. Ya gotta have a complete package sometimes with all the matching pieces. Hey sometimes I like to just get the ring of swatches out and twirl it around just like one of those fangle dangle figet toys! Who knew I could so easily entertained, huh? I am just wondering why it took me so long to get one! Now on to the DSP one for me!
Oh, I forgot the cardstock swatch book also went to a mall in Des Moines to Bath and Body Works to be matched up with some little hand sanitizers. That was fun and I had a crowd gathered to see what I was doing. I was dealing with reds and purples and a couple very picky friends who like perfection! Good thing they are small but a good size to see the colors as what I thought would go with Cherry Cobbler looked horrrible as well as the Wisteria Wonder one. Who knew?
Mike is just waiting for me to take it to the paint store to begin matching something up!
That is a BRILLIANT idea and I cannot believe that I have not done this but THANK YOU for the tip! I am sooooo type A with wrapping paper as I truly do love to wrap and match the WHOLE SCHEME up together! Thanks for the light bulb going off!
I love love both of these ! Plus as I said the other day you can use the dsp swatch on a card (after it is retired )
I have one set of my CS swatches in a drawer with my enamel dots . I glue a piece of WW CS on the end of each color and put a swipe of the matching ink on it . I have 3 of the CS swatch rings because they are CUTE and ADDICTIVE !! Giggle ! I keep one set on my stamping area and one set in my craft closet .I am a big fan !!
Isn’t it just a hoot that we do things like this? I do the same and just love to look at what I put together. No one else would “get it” but who cares…..we GET IT! The air came back later yesterday!!!!
When I was with the competition company I lived and died by my cardstock swatch ring so I can see it being a must have tool now, for both customers and demos. I truly never understood the DSP swatches though until Susan sent me a couple. Then I was like, “How have I lived my life this long without these?!!!!” They are so nice to have out on the desk so you can see what will and won’t work without having to dig out the full sized DSP sheets. I like that they have the matching CS colors on the back so you don’t have to guess or dig out the catalog to check.
I’ll definitely be getting both of these. Should I email you now Susan or wait to see what else you will be offering?
Also, from an earlier post this week…. I have decided to chop up my old DSP into 6×6 pieces just as soon as I find one of those bins that will hold them. I know you said Walmart, but that place gives me hives so I’ll try Target.
YES….you see the light with the card stock rings…..they are a HUGE lifesaver and just a handy tool to have and reach for! I have a surplus ready to go!
I ADORE your comment about Walmart…..I have been know to have returns in my car for months just because of the sheer fear I have going in……Target I love….Walmart – chills!
We only have a Walmart in town here but when I go to any of the Targets in Des Moines or Iowa City that popcorn or kettle corn smell as well as hot dog smell almost makes me gag! At Walmart I just try to get in and out fast and also avoid getting killed by vehicles coming through the front door. They are having law suits about that incident now.
Love your shares! You make it so nice and easy for all of us. I’m on vacay right now having fun with my daughters in Savannah GA which is beautiful but I needed to get my daily fix of Susan!?
Awe…..have a BLAST with the girls – Savannah is wonderful and I am sure your heart is filled with love and smiles – GO HAVE FUN!
Last year when I was a new demo I only ordered the card stock swatches and found I used them constantly.
Wish I had ordered the DSP Swatches since I ended up making copies of the DSP pages from the catalog so I could see the matching colors. Won’t make that mistake again. Love the idea of having a smaller size of paper to help create the project
It is …it is – These 2 items are in my opinion, must haves for anyone that enjoys the process of crafting….If you are a demo – they also are great tools to have to show the products without ordering a bunch – an investment but a win-win! Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment……
what size are the swatch books?
