The Block Guy

Many Happy Returns Set of 33!

My wife mounted her Many Happy Returns Set.  She chose to take advantage of the convenience of walking out to the garage to "purchase" her blocks and "ordered" two sets so that she could single mount them.    One set is needed to double-mount the set.

Like any true-addicts, she couldn't wait to use her new toy.

Below is a quick card she made -- enjoy!  :)

 

An update on the weather -- snow is in the forcast this weekend but after a game of ice hockey on the pond this afternoon, I plan to cut some wood before the snow hits.  Blocks should be ready to ship come Monday!

Winter Chills...Brrrrrrrr!

In light of the frigid temperatures that have settled on Pennsylvania this week (Jan 21-25), there will be a slight delay in delivery of "Happiness" blocks.  I need to do a little bit of "driveway craftsmanship" to cut one particular size of block to complete that set, but the low temperatures combined with the lingering cold I have made me opt to postpone outdoor activities until this coming weekend.

I apologize for the inconvenience.

New Poll Added

Scroll down on the left to see a poll to vote for other Stamp Sets you'd like to see blocks for.  What stamp sets do you wish you could separate?

My wife would love to be able to use Tres Chic individually and is playing with the options of trying to manipulate the images.

The unseasonably warm weather here allowed me to get the tools out of the garage last night and cut a few more sets for Many Happy Returns so they are ready to ship!

Block Photos

Some of you have asked for pictures of the blocks.  I aim to please!

As soon as my wife gets her Many Happy Returns, I'll post a picture of that set mounted, too.

 

Welcome!

It all started when my wife, a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, wanted to use the now-retired background "Word by Word" individually so I made her blocks.  Soon all her demonstrator friends wanted blocks, too.  Then their demonstrator friends and even a few customers wanted Word by Word Blocks.

Since then, I've created countless poplar blocks for sets like "Word by Word", "So Many Sayings" and "Festive Favorites" to name a few.  Many of my "customers" have asked me for a website to direct their customers and/or fellow demonstrators to... so here it is FINALLY! :-)

Please feel free to share www.theblockguy.com with your Stampin' Friends -- the "storefront" on the left has my available blocks.  If something is sold out, I can re-cut blocks as needed (please allow a little time to do that as this is not my full-time job.)  I accept special requests on a case-by-case basis -- please feel free to email me at MitchKemp@comcast.net.

Also, if you prefer to pay by check or Money Order, please contact me at MitchKemp@comcast.net and I will provide you with a mailing address. 

One last thing -- a note about shipping!  I ship Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation.  Shipping is $5.25 for 1 to 2 sets and $9.60 for 3 to 10 sets.  You will need to add the shipping to the cart before checking out using one of the options.  Please don't forget to do so!   

Thanks for your business!
