NEW Wood Mount Cases

 Check out the one minute utube video below.

 

 

Introducing Stampin'Up!'s new wood-mount stamp set packaging! These new cases are similar to our clear-mount boxes and fit perfectly on the shelf right next to them. They also have the images and stamp set name on the spine to make your search for the right set even easier.
Starting May 31 all wood-mount sets will come in this new packaging. And empty cases will be available with the launch of the new catalog. That means you can transfer all your old sets to these new boxes! There will even be a template for you to create your own label for your old stamp sets (available May 31). A pack of four half-size cases (3-3/4" x 5-1/2") will sell for $4.95 and a pack of four full-size cases (7-1/2" x 5-1/2") will be $6.95.
Get ready for all the exciting new products in the catalog--especially the new wood-mount boxes!

Photopolymer stamp sets

 

Sorry the image is so fuzzy.  I am still learning and I am not sure 

how to import the pdf file.

This is the second photopolymer stamp set they have come out with.   

Below is an image of the first stamp set.

 

 

 Photopolymer Stamps

Stampin'Up! searched long and hard for just the right material to be able to introduce completely clear stamping. And they've found it. They're excited to announce that they now have wood-mount, clear-mount AND photopolymer stamps! The new photopolymer will be an addition to Stampin'Up!'s stamp line and will appeal to all types of stampers. Our top-quality photopolymer has just enough give to create a perfectly stamped image every time and with the introduction of our firm-foam pads, let's just say they're meant for each other! Photopolymer stamps will also be unique, fun designs that will inspire you and provide more versatile options you may not see in our traditional wood- and clear-mount stamp options. 


What makes them so great?

• They're entirely transparent for perfect placement every time! 
• They are durable. The photopolymer material is designed to last. 
• Can you say sticky? (Don't worry; in a good way.) These stamps stick amazingly well to our clear blocks.
• They're age tested. They won't yellow or cloud up over time. 
• We could go on, but we'll let you try them for yourself.

They are clearly a great choice.

Bordering on Romance card

 I got kinda sentimental about some of my favorite colors going away so I decided to make a card with those colors.  I LOVE Baja Breeze (going to retire soon) so I made the base of the card Baja Breeze and then decided that it needed some designer series paper so I pulled out the pastel paper pack.  The flower shape is cut using the Secret Garden Framelits found in the Spring mini catalog.  The edges needed a pop so I decided to sponge the edges of the cut image with So Saffron ink (which is also going away!)

 Ingredients:

117152 Designer Series Paper - Subtle $21.95
*111352 Baja Breeze card stock $6.95
*105118 So Saffron card stock $6.95
100730 Whisper White card stock $8.50
125482 Boarding on Romance stamp set  $21.95
122497 Petite Pairs stamp set $20.95

This chart was design by Carolyn Berrnett Thank you so much for sharing. 

 

I always have mixed feelings and attachments when it comes to color.  You get so attached to a certain color or combination of colors.

 

I thought this chart might help you decide what colors 

you want to order before they are gone!  

This weekend is FREE SHIPPING on everything April 6-8th.  

 

You can shop on-line with my store or let me know and I can add your order to my order that will be shipped to my house!

Color Refresh

Do you dream in color? 

Announcing our Color Refresh! We love color and we know that you do too. Color is fundamental to who we are and what we offer. It's important for us to stay up-to-date with color trends so we are thrilled to share our updated line of colors, and hope you will be as excited as we are by the new possibilities!
Why now? In 2010 we did a big color renovation and shared our plans for smaller color refreshes every three to five years to keep our colors on trend. Well it has been three years and we are excited to announce that the upcoming 2013-2014 annual catalog will include 10 new colors (most of which are returning In Colors from previous years)! We are welcoming back some of your favorites, moving some colors around, and introducing one brand-new color, so take a look!

Beginning on April 4, 2013, all retiring/discontinued color products (i.e. ink, paper, ribbon, accessories, etc.) will be available only while supplies last. This means that some products will not be available through the retired list period.

I was loving the corner rounded edge if the card.  I used the bone folder to curl up the edges of the flowers.  I used dimensionals to pop up the greeting.  It gives it that added 3D effect.

My Digital Studio software

 

 

Stampin'Up! has been working on some big changes to the My Digital Studio product line, and they just can't contain ourselves anymore.

Stampin'Up! changed the name of the software 

from MDS 2 (and MDS 2+) to MDS.  

Stampin'Up! lowered the price. What has been known as MDS 2+ is now $19.95 US/$24.95 CAN. 

 

Coming soon: 
The upgrade will be free! If you have been holding onto the original My Digital Studio software, you will be able to upgrade to the new software for free. We will let you know when it is available. SU has discontinued the item number for the MDS 2 Upgrade (item 130650) because the upgrade will be available soon for free.

 Here is my happy little moment.  My husband Rob and my daughter Julianna went into my happy space and made me an Easter card.  Notice it was nothing too crazy... they just used the oval punch to make eggs and the heart punch for the inside.  Sometimes simple is super pretty and it made me so happy!
