Stamping Inspiration

EXCITING NEWS!...

I am absolutely elated!  Beginning January 5, Stampin' Up! will be introducing clear-mount rubber stamps.  Wahoo!  For those of you who know me, you know that I have been using my stamps unmounted for a while now, so this is HUGE for me!  This is EXACTLY the news I have been waiting to hear from Stampin' Up! 

Demonstrators got the news a couple of weeks ago (I was on Cloud 9), but we were not allowed to share it until December.  It was so hard not to talk about it!  And then with Christmas decorating/shopping, etc., I totally forgot it was December until today.  Here's the scoop:

Over the past few years, there has been enormous demand from demonstrators and customers alike for a line of repositionable clear-mount rubber stamps. Well, you asked for it, and now you have it! Starting with stamps in the 2010 Occasions Mini Catalog and the 2010 Sale-A-Bration Brochure, Stampin' Up! now offers our exclusive stamp art in both traditional wood-mount, and the new clear-mount option.  These will be available for purchase beginning January 5!

Our new clear-mount rubber stamps are the result of extensive research with the intent to maintain the very best image quality in the stamping industry, while at the same time offering the ease-of-use and storability inherent in repositionable clear-mount rubber stamps. 

Clear-Mount Rubber Stamp Features:

• 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.

I have already pre-ordered clear mount stamps from the Occasions Mini.  They are on the way and I should have them by the end of next week.  I can't wait to play with them and share my projects with you!  Book your workshop today for my best dates in January and February to see these beauties up close and in person! 

I'm off now to hubby's work Christmas party...
