DCWV Paper Stacks

Far East is beautiful.

I am new to scrapbooking, and had never heard of DCWV until I came onto scrapbook.com. Now I need to find a store that carries the DCWV product

• mommy3girls Said:

You can find the DCWV stacks at J's (best price right now) and M's and of course here at sb.com

• mommy3girls Said:

Oh hurry hurry hurry!!!! The 12X12 stacks are on sale at Joann's through the weekend for 9.99 usually 19.99!!!!! I don't think it gets much better than that!!!! I got 3 stacks last week and I'm going back today for the Far East stack!!!!! Stocking up until the next sale!!!! Why pay full price, right? Michael's often has Coupons for 50% off 1 full price item through the year, but 50% off the DCWV stacks as many as you want is a good GOOD sale and if you want them, now is the time!!! They were on sale at Michaels for 30% off, but 50% is better!!!!

OOOOOOOOooooooooooooooo I can't waitttttttttt,,,,

I am a DCWV junkie Holly

I am a junkie as well. I bought the citrus, whimsy, garden & tahiti beach stacks. I still want 5 more that J's did not have. I am addicted. LOL

• holly1965 Said:

Oh Holly you are the little devil in my shoulder now I'm thinking what else I need from DCWV!!!, I hope this evening they have more stack because wednesday was empty!!!

I went to buy the Far East Stack,,,,and to my disappointment,,,,I didn't like it. I bought the Gradeschool stack, which I loveeed and the pocketful of posies,,,

and I also bought the Fiskars b order punch in Lace, pretty, but I'm playing with it and having a bit of a learning curve on matching up the lace pattern,,,good thing I have some old papers to try it on,,,

and a tiny frog stamp for my fairy tale that I'm working on with the Once Upon a Time papers in which there will be a hidden frog on every page that you will have to find I'm going to stamp him in gold and hide him in some of the gold detailing on the pages

That's it for this week,,,,,,danged recession

Ok gals let me give you the scoop on the stacks...(J's employee). We get our truck in on Thursdays....so first thing friday morning I start stocking....I only received one pack(total of 3 stacks) of each of the new stacks of the 12x12's. One pack of the citrus 4x6. We have no control what comes in on the truck. SOOOOO.... ask your store when they receive and then stalk that store!!!! You can also special order the stacks at the sale price!!!! Now let me boast!!!!!Yesterday I left with Whimsey, Citrus, Latte, Nana's Kitchen, Garden Party, Taj Mahal and Le Creme 12x12's and some matching 4x6's. It really pays to have them on sale the same day as employee double discount day>

thanks, Coffee Holly

I just got the rockstar, (for my high school photos of concerts), the Lux ury stack, and the All dressed up stack (I absolutely love)

My first layout in 2 years(just uploaded to my gallery) used the All Dressed up Stack paper.

p.s. I cant wait to get the latte stack + CS stack

and I absoultely love their textured CS stacks, but not fond of the photo stacks. I have a hard time using them in layouts

• Jesseka Said:

I looove the latte premium stack is one of my fav from DCWV!!!

sigh,,,,OK, I need a 12 step program Because I went out AGAIN last night and bought (NOT at the 50% sale price because THAT is over) the Rock Star stack. It is absolutely PERFECTO for scrapping my 20 year old son,,,,

and that is a tall order, the boy is IMPOSSIBLE to scrap! I still got it at 40% off, but not 50%, so I was happy,,,

In 3 weeks I have picked up SIX stacks! People, I've only been scrapping 4 weeks,,,,,one of which I had bronchial pneumonia,,,,what does this tell you?????

HOOKED I TELL YOU!!! If I buy any more paper, my DH is going to wrap me in paper and stuff me in the closet!

• coffeenow Said:

Wow what a great deal...you can't beat that!

• holly1965 Said:

I only like about half the papers in the Far East stack. I really wish they (manufacturers) wouldn't put Asian words/letters on the papers. I hate having something on there that I don't know what it says plus being Korean, most things are either in Chinese or Japanese, so not fitting for my layouts. I ended up covering up where I could.

Still it worked great for my mother's 70th birthday album.

I looked at the boy's stack and it's not really what I'd use.

Oh, I love the frog idea! A friend of mine did that with little punched out Mickey's in her Disney layouts. Great fun trying to find them all.

• Vivian loves BLING Said:

I agree about the far east stack today I saw it and I was enjoyin the pp until I saw the Asian things, it is cute but not for my LOs, and I have the boys stack I was craaazy about it but now I don't know how to use it

• Vivian loves BLING Said:

Oh good! I was hoping it would be fun!!!!!! Holly

I hope to play with new stuff today. Gotta get out to the building.

I wen to J's today and they still having DCWV on sale!!! I didnt buy any DCVW stacks because I have all what I want from DCWV but I saw the spring stack and is really cute!!!

• naf Said:

Mine is only having the value packs on sale at 50% off but it's having the premium off at 40%,,,sigh,,,,,,but I have enough paper now,,,

NOW I'm onto paper crafting supplies,,,punches, border punches, etc Oh, and I'm making a home made Clip It Up ,,,,,,,my "klipper-kleeper", my grandson calls it Holly

• holly1965 Said:

I can't wait to see your Kilpper-kleeper!!!

Ok Miss Holly..... You must share your Klipper-Kleeper!!!!! Take that pic and post it!!!!
Off to the big J's. Have a great morning all!!

I hit M's today for 48 sheets of paper at 8/$1 my first really big paper purchase other than one tablet, is that what you ladies call a stack? I think I'll probably stick to buying just the loose sheets right now as I don't have all that many pictures to use yet and if I get loose pages I can get a bigger variety to my way of thinking. I'll probably hit my favorite LSS, next Saturday provided the weather's nice as it's about a 3 hr. ride on the bus from where I live. LOL

My goodness Molly, do you live in the city of San Antonio, or in another town outside of SAT? Raquel

I went to Big Lots today. Most of the stuff in then SB aisle were things I didn't like. Today, they had DCWV papers! Not whole sizes but strips perfectly cut to go through a Sizzix Sidekick, 12 inches long for a $1 each; 42 strips for $1!!!! I bought all 7 that were there.

There were also same width sized stacks for $1 but only square, not 12" long. So I passed on those.

• holly1965 Said:

Holly, check out other J's in the area. I was just at mine tonight (I live in FL) and bought them for $10 each, including the premium stacks (Grade School & Tahiti). They are a penny more than what you'd pay for them at 50% off. If your store won't honor it...the ad is right on the front page of their website...2 for $20 (and they'll ring up $10 each). The premium sale for 40% is for NEXT week NOT this week...according to the flyer I just got in the mail today.

YESSSSS, lol, I bought two this week And I am going back for more,,,LOL,,,,,i want the Old World stack,,,I never thought I'd use it much but someone sent me a few pieces and I've used almost ALL of them Thanks for letting me know though,,,,

• moxiegirl23 Said:

Oh dear hunny...since when does paper buying have anything to do with need??????

• cidscraps Said:

EXACTLY,,,,,,

One must realize that there is a different KIND of need when it comes to paper,,,

ESPECIALLY beautiful paper,,,

ESPECIALLY the kind of paper that makes you drool,,,,

You can have 20 stacks at home in the Cropper Hopper ,,,,

yet a paper can call to your soul,,,,it can hook you,,it can reel you in,,,,,,,,

there are worse things in the world you know,,,,

give in to it,,,,,,,feel the beauty beneath your fingers,,,,,,feast on it with your eyes,,,

you'll feel better for it,,,,

I tend to stay away from paper stacks (except solid cs) because I end up with so much that I don't want or can't use. I'd rather buy by the sheet and know I'm getting exactly what I want. I know most here won't agree with me, but it's just my point of view.

• dwelch Said:

I hear you, but I love the paper. And if you have some, you don't think you use, you could always donated it to a group home, boy and girls club.

• dwelch Said:

Me too, unless there's one that I love. I was buying a stack that I've been wanting and also checked out their individual paper cause they were on sale too (5/$1 - their .59 cent paper). I found some individual papers from the DCVW Once Upon a Time and also some from one of the other series. They want $2 per sheet!!!! At that point it's cheaper to buy the stack when it's on sale or with a coupon then buying a few of the individual papers.

I just got a 48 page stack in pastels for $7.99 at TM's - but I'll need it because I'm planning dd's surprise graduatin party next month and it's butterfly themed - I'm making the decorations, invites and butterfly placecards, so I'll need it all I'm sure. It's actually my first time buying a stack!

your FIRST time? Oh girl,,,,,,

I am addicted to them,,,,I've been scrapping for 2, maybe 2 and a half months,,,,

I have bought at least 12 stacks. Its a sickness I tell you,,,,,,,sick sick sick.

And I do not want a cure,,,,,I'm going to go buy Late, or something elegant like that,,,, and probably the Citrus stack this week,,,,,I love the metallic cs, or I might buy the metallic stack,,,,,I need to look at it,,,,,

Yup - first time. I'm just getting off my Lenten fast from scrapshopping, and prior to that I strictly bought individual sheets in whatever colors I needed, so...there you go. There's a first time for everything!

you gave up scrap shopping for lent? I'm impressed and admiring!!!!! (and thanking goodness that I'm Jewish,,,,,,:) j/k)

wow, hope you enjoy shopping then

I recent discovered that when you use the Adhesive Cardstock with your Sizzix it only punches through the card stock so it was kind of like making your own stickers. I'm sure someone has figured this out too, but this is a time saver when using your alphabets.

DCWV junkie me cant live without them and they always work well together so your never stuck for matching papers up... I have brought nearlly every stack possible and really have had my moneys worth

I am loving the NEUTRALS stack. I know it's not a popular favorite, but I happen to adore it!!

I just bought 5 stacks today.
- the Fun in the Sun PP
- Fun in the Sun CS
- Once upon a time
- Old World
- Neutrals

I just got for new stacks:
La Creme
La Creme cardstock

I think everyone's been busy scrapin' their stacks, instead of posting here.

FYI- I went to A's on 5/30/09 & they had 8x8 DCWV stacks for $1.99!

I bought some Don't know if I'll use em, but I bought em~!

My name is Dori and I am a paper addict.....

I have not yet bought any paper packs myself. I'm still a newbie. However my MIL & SIL do, and sometimes they let me swipe some of their stuf to do a page, or to add to one I'm working on. To me the biggest plus is that it's easy to use the papers together. I'm pretty sure the pros outweigh the cons and that you would be really please with the purchase. DCWV has some really awesome stuff, and it's always great to find a sale. My MIL has taught me that. =]
