I'd be tempted by those carts if they had one of the non pink options. I think they'd make a great addition to my diamond painting area. Too bad I didn't see them this week...I'll have to ask the lady who stocks there who works at other stores other than for the truck just in case she's seen them at her store or the one up the street from her.
Thanks for sharing! My stores didn't get much...a couple different things of cardstock, the Graphic 45 you mentioned and a Darice leafy border die set is all I found.

OMG! I can't believe that you just found Karen Foster papers. I pulled out my advent calendar that I made many years ago and could not remember the name of the person of the brand and inspiration. Serendipity, indeed. (not sure why pic inserts sideways).

They had at least 75 packs of the paper. So many different lines. |

Wasn't the advent calendar sold by Karen Foster and that's where I purchased it from many years ago? I was trying to do a search online to see where I got my inspiration for decorating the boxes and I couldn't remember KF's name until you mentioned it. I don't think the papers I used were from KF, just the calendar. Now I can do a search to see my inspirations. Kinda sucks getting old and not remembering specifics. |

The only noticeably new items were bulk (25-ct/same pattern) paper packs. Our stores are currently overflowing with 12x12 papers! Thanks again, 950nancy , for these monthly threads & to everyone who shares information. |

I either have that one or one similar to it. I was near TM today. I wanted to go in, but I decided that I need to use more of what I have than keep adding to my stash. TM is responsible for far too much of my hoard. |

I checked out the Karen Foster paper that came in the last few weeks and it was dated 2010. Wonder where it has been sitting for the last 10 years. It actually said packaged on this date- 12-21-10. I remember a few years ago, Chatterbox embellishments kept showing up. If only it had been Chatterbox paper...
I saw quite a few Doodlebug letter rubons that I hadn't seen before. I picked up a three pack of Ranger foil sheets (three packs zip tied together) for $7.99. I want to try the alcohol ink and foil technique. Of course, I still need to buy some alcohol inks too.  |

The paper is gorgeous, but I kept thinking it was pretty specific for a layout! The back did have a nice patterned green on it. |

A quick trip today - didn't see a whole lot of new merchandise - some new crafter's companion paper sets, a ton of the packaged Karen Foster paper described above. Some new WRMK tools. It looked like they had done some rearranging, but I didn't have time to go explore other areas. I only came home with a pack of green pearl paper by CC ( for Christmas embellies ).
Hope you guys are seeing a lot more goodies!

Made a trip the other day. They are getting quite a few paper packs from Kaiser kraft, 12 x12, 6x6 pads, stamps, dies and some ephemera.

I went in one today for the first time since pre-covid. Three of the closest stores to me closed. I was shocked at how little SB stuff they had. They used to have so much. So disappointing.

I bought a few of American Crafts TN covers/ albums for $8, they are typically $25. They had some Crate Paper and Maggie Holmes.

I saw lots of new Kaisercraft paper packs, collection packs, 6x6 pads and sticker books! I was very tempted but the design I saw was only in the 6x6 pad. Will check other stores this week.

I went to one of our stores yesterday. Mine are only about 12 minutes apart from each other, but there was nothing new I wanted at one, so I decided not to go to the other one. I made a pretty big purchase at Thanksgiving from Love from Lizi, so saving money now is a good thing.

Ohhh - I haven't seen any Kaisercraft at all yet - maybe it will come to the SE soon! That is a brand I haven't used before, so would love to try their stuff. Would love to hear feedback on others' experience with the products - quality, etc.?
Thanks peas!

The Kaisercraft paper I have used has been great quality. My question would be if Kaisercraft is reprinting these paper packs FOR Tuesday Morning, or are they selling off extra stock printed originally for other craft businesses. Reprints from Bella Blvd/Echo Park have not had the same quality that the original papers had. |

Wow I can’t believe they have those Totally Tiffany carts thanks for sharing. I’ve always wondered how they looked in real life. Will make a stop at TM. Though I’m scared I’ll find more stuff to hoard!

One of our TM stores had a pair of assembled white Totally Tiffany carts with purple aprons. I was surprised they are only ~2' tall! If you are considering them, please check measurements to ensure they fit in your space/meet your expectations. HTH.

My main TM used to have one side of a long aisle almost completely SB and stamps plus some related spillover on the other side. I've only gone 2x recently (it had been probably Feb before that) and now SB stuff is about 1/8th of that one side of the aisle  I don't know if they pulled it to send to other stores or maybe they sold off inventory? The majority of what they have is 12x12 (and a lot of duplicates of the same packs of the same 25 sheets...blah) and some of the kits are getting crazy expensive - it would be cheaper to buy one with a 40% off coupon at the LSS in the same town. I made it there maybe every other month on average but I would look so forward to it and make a special trip mainly for TM. Not even excited about it now. Hope they rebound more in the future. |

One of the managers at one of our stores said right now they are being inundated with food and Christmas and pretty soon will go back to getting more crafts. One can hope. And you are right. For two weeks, my store got in big boxes of Karen Foster papers from about a decade ago. They are pretty thin and many of them are very specific. Who needs 25 sheets of braces. The colors are also very 2010! |

And the variety packs were up to $11.99 - I have bought a number of them in the past and they were $5.99 and $6.99 back then. I truly hope they fill out the craft section again, but if the prices are up that high I'll be pretty selective. It's rare you find anything that's less than a season old and a lot is many, many seasons old. |

It's rare you find anything that's less than a season old and a lot is many, many seasons old. I think the people who price the merchandise are way off sometimes. They will price one sheet of vellum for $5 (originally) and then say $1.99 is the new price. Nope. I also think some of the Authentique (not all) include more than just the original 12 sheets and that means the price can double. Nope. Maybe when things go to clearance after 6 months, they will start to rethink the price of some of these items. |

Three carts full today in the craft aisle. One was fabric, one was yarn, and the third was chock full of Kaisercraft, Kingfisher (all the markers, pencils, and paint), and then there was a big box of Bazill paper in lots of colors.
The price increase seems to just be getting worse. I saw the EK Success punches double in price. Now they are $9.99. Nope. Not a deal any longer. The paper packs for some of the brands were $4.99 for 12 pieces of paper. There were no sticker sets.
One thing I saw that was a very good deal was a 10 pack of themed 12 x 12 Echo Park sticker sheets for $14.99. They had themes of Fall, Girl, Boy, Outdoors, Spring, Winter, etc. So the sticker sheets came out to only $1.49 each. The problem would be that you don't need all ten sheets of one theme. A good product if you are trying to build. your inventory though. I have so much Echo Park that it was the last thing I needed.
My guess would be that all of the people who buy out the craft aisle to sell online aren't going to make much of a profit any longer so that may leave more supplies on the shelves.
