This and That!

Stampin' Up! has just introduced a brand new product line and I'm really excited about it!!!

Have you heard of "Smash Journals"?  If not, don't worry!  If you have, well, Stampin' Up! has come up with their own product line that fits with this trendy kind of journalling/scrapbooking technique and I can't wait to get mine!

They are calling it "This and That" and I have already ordered my bundle of products!  I'm going to put it beside my bed to add to a bit each night and I'm going to work hard to remember to pop it into my purse and work on it while the boys are at art or gym classes!

Check out the information below about this great new product line!

These stamps are available in clear mount only.

Ears to you!

Ears to You is a really cute single stamp you can purchase from Stampin' Up!.

It comes in clear mount and costs $8.95 (132659).

I have found so many great projects using this set.  Here are some of them!

You can do so much with these sweet bunnies - you can make them all the same colour, different colours, cut them out, emboss them, sponge around them to make them stand out.  It's amazing how such a simple image can look so different depending on how you play with it.

I'm inspired to go and play!  Hope you are!

By the way - I am on Pinterest and have a few Boards called "card ideas" and "craft ideas" and I do pin a lot of Stampin' Up! projects on them.  You're welcome to check them out.  I'm on Pinterest as Andra McLeod Donbrook, or pinterest.com/adonbrook.  I'm not on Pinterest a lot, but I do find absolutely great ideas on there!

Have a fabulous day!
Andra

BIG news!!!

Well, I didn't think it would happen, but it did!  Stampin' Up! has released a truly CLEAR stamp set!

Please read all the information below and contact me if you'd like to order this stamp set.

My next order date is Tuesday, March 5.  Please contact me by 6:00 pm to have your order included.

PHOTOPOLYMER STAMPS

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.)	$16.95

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. 
• Stamp set 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.

Q&A

Q: How long will each stamp set that's released be available for purchase?A: Since this product line is being offered on a trial basis and is not currently included in our catalog, we won't have a standard amount of time that each set is offered. We'll let you know when each set is no longer available as well as when new ones become available.

Here is a picture of the Designer Typeset stamp set:

You can follow THIS LINK to see more samples made with this fun new set!!
