Metal Embossed Nugget Tin and Metal Sheet Questions Answered....

Good Morning Stampers!

I am so glad you have enjoyed both the 1st issue of Valentines Extravaganza and this week's posts. Wait until you see what I have in store for next week.  I will be back and posting from my studio on Monday.  At this point that sounds wonderful. My legs feel like they are going to fall off.  I think I need a vacation from vacation to recover. LOL.  Have you ever felt like that or is it just me?  My kids are exhausted, too.

Today I would like to show you how to add a little dazzle with metal to your nugget tin.  This nugget tin follows the same procedure as the normal ones you make.  The only difference is that you will use White Staz-On to stamp on the word "Love You Much".  I love how easy it is to see where I am stamping plus it was much easier to carry in my luggage as the room it took up was minimal.  The lid of the box will be decorated using Metal Embossed Butterflies.  Isn't this beautiful?  The part I love the most is that with the "Well Scripted" stamp set Stampin' Up! is carrying in their mini occasions catalog, you can adapt your tin box to any occasion with the other 5 sentiments.  Choose from: Wonderful Mother, Dear Father, Happy Birthday, Happy Easter, Love Your Much, and Congratulations.  I am loving this nugget tin.  It is so easy to make. How about buying metal sheets in your favorite colors and precutting the butterflies and storing them in a small container for whenever you need them?  Very easy and a dazzling Valentine's gift for teachers, friends, coworkers etc. in no time at all.  Actually these butterflies are great for all occasions.

I have received numerous emails about those of you who are interested in purchasing the metal sheets but have some questions.  Here are the questions and answers for all to see.  If you still have questions, please do not hesitate to email me at monica@addalittledazzle.com.  If you are ready to order your metal sheets, then just look under the Order Online Button on the upper right hand corner of my blog and place your order today.  These hot Valentine's Day colors are going fast and you will have to wait at least 1 1/2 weeks to get them if you wait too long.  If you need to place a Stampin' Up! order, just click on the Order Online Button and you will be set to go.  Don't forget that for every $50 order (net) you place you will receive a FREE item from the Sale-a-Bration Catalog.

Questions about Metal Sheets

1. How much do the metal sheets weigh? The sheets are 40 gauge.

2.  Are the edges of the metal sheet sharp?  No, the edges are not sharp.

3.  Why kind of sanding block do you use?  I use a regular Stampin' Up! sanding block.

4. How much comes in a pack? 4 sheets (9" x 12") and the rolls come in a 12" x 36" sheet. 

5. Can you make a sample pack that you can sell us?  Yes, I can.  I just need to see how much interest there is among my readers, and I will put one together and let you know the cost.

6.  Do you ship internationally?  Yes, I do ship internationally.  Please note that when you place an international order there is no shipping cost added.  The reason is because I have to take your package to the post office to get weighed to figure out the cost.  Once I have this number, I will contact you and tell you the cost for shipping.  I ONLY ship Priority with insurance for international orders.  The average cost for shipping internationally right now is between $25-$30.  It all depends on weight and destination.  I honestly recommend getting together with friends to place a larger order to make it worth your money for shipping.

7.  Why the cost for shipping within the United States?  My goal is to deliver your metal sheets to you in the same condition in which they left my studio.  Unfortunately, I have not been able to find a least expensive way in which the sheets will not be damaged.  Sending your package in a flat rate box via Priority Mail is the best option right now. It allows us to fill it with stuffing and protect it from damage. When you see how thin the metal sheets are, you will see why this is the best method.  The huge savings in shipping comes when you place a bigger order.  Why not get an order together with a fellow demonstrator or get orders from your customers and combine it all so the cost for shipping goes down?

8.  How do I post a comment to be part of the contest?  At the end of my post, right underneath my siggy you will see where it states at what time I posted.  Keep reading and you will see the words "Comments".  It is the second to last.  Click on "Comments" and you will write your comment and follow the instructions given. 

I hope this answers some of your questions.  If you have any more questions, please do not hesitate to email me at monica@addalittledazzle.com and I will get back with you.

Please don't forget to leave me a comment to be entered into this week's contest.  Also, don't forget to let me know if you would be interested in purchasing a sample ring of  3 1/2" x 3 1/2" pieces of metal sheet?  This pack would include all the colors and will be labeled with colors and pertinent information as it would pertain with Stampin' Up! colors and Designer Series Paper.  They will be assembled into a nice ring pack like the ones SU sells.  Just email me at monica@addalittledazzle.com and I will add it to the tally to see if there is enough interest. 

Have a dazzling weekend,

Hi Monica,

As with all your projects, I am 'dazzled by the nugget tin. The little butterflies look adorable on it.

What about offering mixed packages of the metal sheets, i.e. four different colors in a pack?

Enjoy your last day of vacation. I hope the legs can hold up one more day. All that Disney walking sure can be tiring.

I really like your metal embossed Nugget Tin. Those Butterflies are just darling. I just ordered the Die today, I can't wait until it arrives. I have a question for you though, where do you find your Nugget Tins? I need to get some and have sent my DH out but he can't seem to find any, or maybe he just doesn't understand what I am talking about. Lol. I need to order them online if possible, or get them from Walmart, Michaels, or JoAnn's. Do you know if any of these places carry them? I am disabled and cannot leave the house to go shopping around town. I would also be very interested in a sample pack of Your Metal Sheets and also the Sample Ring that you are talking about. You are just so creative, Monica. I don't know how you do it, to keep coming up with something new and fresh all of the time. Have a wonderful day!
