Sneak Peek!

A Best of Love blog tour starts in a few hours!  Check back at midnight!! 

A busy weekend!

Oooohh!  I'm headed to judge science fair this morning then and directly to Aggie's Stampin' Up! party.  Both will be fun and exciting!  Are you excited about yesterday's bundle?  I wanted to share a little bit more about the Photopolymer (clear) stamps AND I have a deal for you!

Introducing Photopolymer by Stampin’ Up!

The first set is Designer Typeset Stamp Set.

It's an amazing value at $13.95 for 57 pieces! 


Look at these adorable note cards from the concept artist!  I love the texture and think how quickly you could knock these out!!


Gorgeous?  Do I have you convinced you need these yet? Read on!


Why are these so snazzy?  They are completely clear for perfect alignment, everytime!  
They come unmounted, on an acetate sheet, and temporarily adhere to our clear blocks.


Second, they are pliable. Want your arrow to shoot a certain way? No problem! Want your banner to have the perfect sag? Easy peasy! Being able to play with the shape gives you even more creative freedom.



Here's a 3 minute video. If you're in a hurry, scroll to 2:40mark.

What do you think?  Want to try them out?  Add them to your order NOW THRU 12pm MARCH 22nd AND I'll send you a clear DVD case with labeled INSERT for you to store your Designer Typeset Stamp Set  as my THANK YOU!

Please join me and 25 other bloggers tomorrow as we celebrate the Best Of Set!!

 This is a mirrored layout with lots of pieces and parts.  Punches made this E-A-S-Y!

Think Spring!

Anyone else ready for birds, flowers, warm air?  How about a little something in the spring-y direction today?

This is a fun little card that is great to mass produce.  I stamp the image several times and then cut the circles.  I received this great card in a swap earlier this year and loved it instantly that I recreated it with several variations of greetings to have on hand.

Thanks for visiting today! 

Have a great Wednesday.  I hope you are creative today.

Helllooooooooo

Is anyone out there?  I traveled a couple days, came back to prepare for the worst-snow in years in DC (ahem, us Midwesterners call that RAIN!) and holy cow does SU! have a lot of great things in store for you!  This is all housekeeping and notes, sorry if you come here for pretty pictures!

LESS THAN TWENTY DAYS remaining of Sale-A-Bration!  Seriously, don't miss that penny farthing, or the punch, or the littles....

PAPER PUMPKIN - couple more days to sign up.  Over 11,000 of us will get the fun-box in the mail.  You must be registered by 3/10 to get the first kit!  Hurry now!   

POLY-what?  Photopolymer stamps.  Remember when we were introduced to the clear-mount stamps?  In addition to Wood, Clear mount, we'll now be offering clear stamps!  There truly is something for everyone at Stampin' Up!
We've searched long and hard for just the right material to be able to introduce completely clear stamping. And we've found it. We're excited to announce that we now have wood-mount, clear-mount AND photopolymer stamps! The new photopolymer will be an addition to our 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. 
• They use FDA, food-safe material. How far can you stretch your stamping creativity? 
• We could go on, but we'll let you try them for yourself.

They are clearly a great choice.

Item	Description	Price
132956	Designer Typeset Photopolymer Stamp Set Recommend clear blocks A, B, G, F, and I. Purchase separately. Includes 57 pieces. (Don't faint! This is a good overwhelming feeling.)	$13.95

The Fine Print

• Photopolymer stamps will be offered on a trial basis. Based on popularity, we hope to release more photopolymer stamp sets over the coming months. At this time we don't plan on offering a line of photopolymer sets as expansive as our wood-mount and clear-mount lines.
• Available on all order types beginning March 1, 2013. 
• Not available in wood-mount or clear-mount.  
• All photopolymer will be packaged in cello bag w/insert, but don't forget you can store them in our clear cases.

BEST OF FLOWERS.  The March release of the best of set!

I'll be back on the 17th with another Best Of Tour using February's set!

Phew, I hope you have a great day planned!  I need to get caught up on crap (taxes!) and then I can stamp this weekend.

This was my ALL TIME, FAVORITE DSP! It was called Love Letters, but I wanted to bring this page out as Valentine's Day approaches.  This was a layout was inspired by teammate Jill Hilliard. It is so quick and you can easily duplicate this layout with your favorite DSP and stamp.
