New Shop & Retirement

Greetings to all Stampers, Scrappers and Paper Crafters;

Something exciting is happening at The Baker’s Wife and this email is for you, the Stamper, Scrapper, and Paper Crafter.

I (Phyllis) AM RETIRING, BUT PLEASE READ ON.

For all of you who have said, please don’t close, what would we do with out your beautiful shop of supplies? I sincerely thank each and every one of you, for those kind words and support over the past 14 years. I truly enjoyed my shop, creating a fun destination for all to enjoy.

NEW SHOP OPENING

My shop of supplies has been purchased by Kay Kibbel, an employee, and we are moving all inventory and fixtures this week and will reopen, Monday, May 2, 2011.

If she opens sooner she will email a notice.  It will come from Stamp This, Scrap That, the new name of the shop.

Kay has many years of creativity, and will provide a full shop of supplies. She is a fun loving creative spirit and is very excited to greet every one of you.

Stamp This, Scrap That is located just 1 block north of Hwy 70 West in the mini mall just south of Walmart on Plaza Drive.

The phone number will remain the same, 715-356-5626, and you will be greeted with the same friendly, helpful staff.

The mini mall also includes Molly’s Café and Papa Murphy’s Pizza. Hopefully you can find it now.

Kay has been busy planning and shopping for all those new release products arriving in time for Spring Stampede, Saturday, May, 7^th.

The Stampede event will be great again this year; Kay will have a 20% discount on all in store products, and lots of prizes.

Prize drawing will be Saturday, May 7^th at 4pm. You won’t want to miss it.

Stamp This Scrap That, will be hosting a 3 day event again this year, starting Friday ending Sunday.

Extended store hours: Friday 10am to 7pm, Saturday 7am to 7pm and Sunday 10am to 2pm.

There will be $1 make-n-takes, and they will be awesome as usual, the staff has been busy creating, using new materials.

I personally thank you for all your support over the past 14 years, and sincerely hope you enjoy shopping at Kay’s new shop.

I will be helping Kay at Stampede, along with creative designers Mary Anne, Kim, Lynne, Patty and Linda.

SEE YOU AT STAMPEDE!

The Grand Calibur Has Arrived!

UPS arrived the other day three big boxes. Inside were the Spellbinders Grand Calibur and eight Big Grand Nestabilities. Wow!

As you can see from the photos below we had tons of fun.

Linda Grabow & Phyllis (owner of The Baker's Wife)

Linda, Phyllis & Patty

Check out the video we found on YouTube from CutAtHome to see this fun machine in action.


Here's additional information we found online:
"The Grand Calibur is a Die Cutting and Embossing System. For use with GRAND NESTABILITIES and will also cut multiple dies at once. These include any Spellbinders Dies. It has more than 3000 pounds of pressure and distributes weight evenly across. Which means when placing multiple dies on platform the dies on the outside will get EXACT same pressure for cutting and embossing as those die cuts on the inside! The Caliber comes with three plates: The A plate is the base plate, the B plate is the embossing plate, and the C plate in the cutting plate. It also will come with a Tan embossing pad. Machine weighs 8 pounds with an 8 1/2 inch opening with a carrying handle making the machine totally PORTABLE! Calibur Dimensions: 16 inches long x 11 inches wide x 9 inches tall."

Stop in for a test drive, we know you're going to love it!
