NEW WOOD-MOUNT BOXES

Stampin’ Up! has finally come up with a solution for the wood block stamps!!

Introducing the 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 (sneak peek sets will also be in the new boxes during the preorder). 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!

And don’t forget, and orders you get from me in April will result in the brand new Annual catalog showing up in your mailbox in May for free.

Triple Time Stamping

Hi everyone,

I have never done the triple time technique before, but I had been wanting to try it. The card turned out pretty well, except I don’t like how the words blended in too much with the green. I had already spent way too much time on this, so I decided to leave it and correct when I make another one. The technique was pretty simple, the sizes of the very vanilla are 4″ x 5.25″ , 3″ x 4.25″, and 2″ x 3.25″. The Primrose petal was cut a 1/4″ larger for each dimension. I used a very very small piece of painters tape to hold my layers together while I stamped.

Hope you enjoy.

Materials

Stamps: Secret Garden, Teeny Tiny Wishes

Inks: Summer starfruit, primrose petal, gumball green

Paper: Primrose petal, very vanilla

Other: None

I have yet to get myself a set of these photopolymer stamps, but if you have a set, I would LOVE to hear your opinion. Here is what Stampin’ Up! is saying…

Top-quality photopolymer that gives a perfectly stamped image every time.

• They’re entirely transparent for perfect placement!

Summer Afternoon Birthday Card

Hi,

As I mentioned before, now is the time it seem of many birthdays. The next one on my list is my younger brother. For some reason, cards for boys are always my hardest. This one I totally CASE’d from here http://carefreecreations.haman.us/2012/08/birthday-ride/comment-page-1/#comment-18522

I used the Summer Afternoon set, as well as my stampin’ write markers and sponge daubers.
