ABOUT DMARC and the FOOD PANTRY   www.dmreligious.org

 

The Des Moines Area Religious Council (DMARC) is an interfaith organization that exists to provide a common means of responding to basic human needs and, in so doing, offers a context for interfaith dialogue, education, fellowship and support while serving as a liaison between member congregations and the greater Des Moines community.

 

The DMARC Emergency Food Pantries strive to meet the short-term needs of the food insecure in our area.  People seeking assistance can go to one of our ten pantry sites to receive a five-day supply of food for themselves and their families once per month at no cost.

ATC Swap

July 31, 2010   10:30-Noon

At Outstamping Designs

 

 Are you an ATC artist?

     Or just curious about these small gems of art?

 

Come join a group of ATC swappers on Saturday, July 31, 2010 from 10:30 AM to 12 noon and share your art, swap your cards, or satisfy your curiosity.

 

“ATC” stands for Artist Trading Cards, which are cards the size of a baseball trading card, created using any sort of media including paper, ink, paint, rubber stamps, ephemera, collage sheet images, fabric, buttons, whatever your creativity requires and then swapped with other artists.

 

A central Iowa group of ATC artists which has been holding swaps at the shop would like to invite any other ATC artists (or anyone interested) to join the next swap.

 

All ATCs to swap must be 2 ½” by 3 ½” and made or backed with sturdy cardstock (so they will last) and to swap, should be an original card (i.e., you can use photocopies on a card but cannot swap a photocopy of an entire card) and signed by you on the back. 

 

Artists put the cards they want to swap on display during the first part of the swap, and then cards are traded with other artists.  Some examples from the last swap will be on display at the shop in June and July.

 

Please join us at the July 31st swap!

Questions? Please email Wanda at cwhentge@grm.net

 

Be sure to stop by to see these and other ATCs on display

at Outstamping Designs!

Used Stamp Sale Information

 

Love stamps? You will love this sale!

Every year we host a sale so our customers can sell their gently used stamps and so customers can purchase some great stamps at great prices! It's a win-win situation all the way around.

Here's a brief description on how it works:

If you want to sell stamps: Beginning in early February, customers may stop in to pick up their inventory number, blank inventory lists and price stickers. Customers then price and inventory their stamps. Outstamping Designs charges each customer 10% of their amount of their total merchandise (we accept cash or check only). After the sale, the customer receives a check from their sales and any unsold stamps are returned.

If you want to buy stamps: Come early and bring cash or check (sorry, no debit/credit cards). We often have a line waiting at the door! The selection is best early in the day and we open promptly at 10 a.m.

We hope you will come and see the fascinating stamps that are for sale. Prices vary but most are inexpensive. You will find a wide variety of styles and manufacturers.

Check back here in January or February 2011 for more information.
