Paper Pumpkin!

The magical paper pumpkins will begin shipping next week!  I'm so looking forward to getting mine and having some organized play time!

If you haven't checked out all the information about Stampin' Up!'s Paper Pumpkin Kit promotion, please do!

If you want to receive the March Kit soon, try to sign up by tomorrow!

I sent this information out as part of an email last week, but I wanted to post it here:

Your very own Paper Pumpkin!  Yep, Cinder-stamper, it's true.  Every month, a special little pumpkin will arrive at your door and turn into a Creative Coach just for you!  It's too good to be true!  High quality Stampin' Up! stamps, ink, cardstock and accessories all packaged in a cute little box will arrive at your door for you every month!!!  I'm excited!!

This is the perfect option for you if you don't want to invest a lot of money into BUYING your own stamp sets and supplies and starting from scratch; everything you need (except adhesive) is provided for you.  You can change the projects and be as creative as you wish, but there are directions if you just need some no-thinking creative time.  That's what I need so I am really looking forward to receiving my first Paper Pumpkin next month!! 

Here's the information from Stampin' Up!:

Sweep away the mundane - your creativity carriage awaits!

I'm Paper Pumpkin . . .

I come to your door each month (a fully decked-out creativity carriage). I'll help you to escape your life with some paper fun.

I come in a sweet box, but you'll really love what you find on the inside:

A Free Gift in Your Very First Kit

The Welcome Kit is the very first Paper Pumpkin you will receive in your first month of membership. The Welcome Kit includes a free gift-a clear acrylic block!

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:
