...in with the NEW!

I'm barely recovered from my trip out to Anaheim for the Winter CHA show (more on that below), and I'm up to my eyeballs in all the new goodies that have started arriving. Seriously -- I don't think Mr. Brown knows what hit him!  I've become so popular on the UPS route that my delivery time seems to have been moved up to an earlier slot.

 

Only a fraction of what I ordered at the show has been delivered so far, and already my fingers are so sore from entering new items into the computer that I'm thinking data entry should be an Olympic event!

 

Anyway, you're gonna absolutely LOVE the new stuff that's coming in!!! We have some new lines and items from companies you're already familiar with, and some brand new stuff that you've never seen before. Make sure you check the NEW page frequently, because there's lots more coming, and you won't want to miss it!

CHA Wrap-Up

What a wonderful -- and exhausting -- time we had in Anaheim. So many people to catch up with, so many new products to see! There was no rest for the weary, but it was just too much fun to slow down!

 

Several of our Design Team members were there to lend their input into what they thought you'd like to see in the store. We walked the floors, we shopped, we laughed, we ATE!

Here is just a sampling of what i {heart} papers ordered at CHA. Some are already in stock, the rest will be arriving in the days and weeks to come.

  • Basic Grey Basics line

  • SEI Claire and Happy Day lines

  • Spellbinders new Labels and Big Scalloped line of dies

  • Scor-Buddy

  • Tsukineko Sheer Shimmer Spritz

  • new lines from October Afternoon

  • Petaloo Dyeable Mulberry Flowers

And that's just the tip of the iceberg!

 

COPICS!

 

That's right, i {heart} papers is now carrying the FULL line of Copic Sketch markers and refills!

 

Once used only by professional illustrators, Copics have taken the stamping world by storm. Now you can order your Copics here when you order your stamps and papers. Put together your own blending groups, or fill in the missing colors in your collection. Buy the refills for the colors you use the most -- these markers are made to last forever! And i {heart} papers sells Copic products at the lowest price allowed by the company. Combine that with our low free shipping threshold, and it's a deal that can't be beat!

 

Several of our design team members are Copic Certified Designers and already have fabulous examples on their blogs of what can be done with these markers. And for even more Copic inspiration...

 

New Copic Group on Paper Craft Planet

You may already be familiar with the i {heart} papers group on Paper Craft Planet. If you're not, then you should be! We now have a new group on Paper Craft Planet called (what else?) i {heart} copics!

 

It's a lively group, full of ideas and inspiration. Oh, and weekly challenges! Join the group and take advantage of the experience, tips and techniques that are shared there.

 

Customer Survey Responses

We had a tremendous response to our Customer Survey, and we truly appreciate all of your feedback. We were happy to see that we've been doing a good job of meeting your needs, but we've taken your comments into consideration and made some modest changes to our store.

 

What you might have already noticed is that items now appear on our pages with the newest ones at the top, instead of in alphabetical order. This makes it easier for you to see the latest and greatest without having to scroll all the way through.

 

Our existing features still make it easy to find things. If you already know what you're looking for, our Search box is extremely useful, and is always near the top of every page. And below our menu in the left column is a scroll box that lets you sort everything by Brand. Looking for Basic Grey? Flower Soft? Just scroll through and select it, and all of the items in that brand show up on your screen.

 

Our web guru is currently working on a little facelift for the Home page that will also make navigation through the store a bit easier. Stay tuned, and thanks again for your enthusiastic response!

 

More Surprises Coming

In addition to the goodies we're already mentioned, we've got some surprises in store for you that will have you positively drooling! Let's just say that you have NEVER seen these ANYWHERE, and they will be exclusive to i {heart} papers. And we're not just talking about new Chicken Girl Design and Petal Press releases, either, although you can expect some of those in the near future.

 

Yes, indeed! We have some amazing tricks up our sleeve for you, so keep checking back. Make sure you are subscribed to the IHP blog, and for the most up-to-the-minute news...
