Exciting things are coming!

I have been dying to share all the news of exciting things coming up at Stampin’ Up, so hang on to your hats. :)

How long have we been waiting for this?  Available starting in the Occasions Mini catalog (beginning January 5th), clear-mount rubber stamps!!

clear mount

Clear-Mount Rubber Stamp Feature:

  • Nine different sizes of clear blocks available individually or as a discounted bundle.
  • Blocks have ergonomic grooves on all four sides for easy grip and traditional wood-mount feel.
  • Stamps and blocks are durable and easy to clean with your Stampin’ Scrub and Stampin’ Mist.
  • Optional image labels on stamp backs let you decide if you want to see the image through the block or not.
  • Tight die-cutting for easy image positioning.
  • Large clear blocks can be used to create collages or spell words with alphabet sets.
  • Stamps store easily in standard, DVD-type cases with artwork on front and spine, making organization easy.

If you are a wood-block rubber stamp lover, don’t worry!  They will still continue to be available, and you may choose wood or clear.  Yay for new options! :)

Stay tuned for more exciting things coming up, including the 12 Days of Holiday Sales (beginning December 11th), fabulous products in the current Holiday Mini catalog (available for a limited time – until Jan. 4th), and then the beginning of the Occasions Mini catalog, Sale-a-Bration (!!!), an addition to the Definitely Decorative brochure, and more.  Wow, it’s a fun time!

Oopsie, forgot to post this little fella.  It’s kind of a tease, now, since the stamp set is from Sale-a-Bration and no longer available! :)   BUT everything else is!

… but I failed.  Baby girl card it is! :)  I couldn’t resist the cuteness factor!!stamp_princess_butterfly01311

You can’t see it very well here, but the pink butterfly is made from the polka-dotted paper in the Sweet Always designer series paper.

Tootle-oo!
