Best of 25 Years – Best of Christmas

 

The new Best of 25 Years Stamp Set — Best of Christmas — was released on October 1.

Best of 25 - October

Best Of Christmas Clear-Mount Stamp Set
Item # 134384 / $14.95

With each new “Best of” stamp set there is one never before released stamp.  The newbie in this collection is the Merry Christmas ornament which just happens to coordinate with the new Christmas Ornament Punch offered in the Holiday Catalog.  (Coincidence?  I think not – I just love coordinating stamps and punches!)

Are you as pleased as I am to see the return of Dasher!?!

Don’t forget for every six Best Of sets you buy, you can send in your Collectors Card for a FREE set of your choice valued up to $14.95!  (Free set must be redeemed by April 30, 2014.)

Thank you for stopping by again today.  Come back again to see what else I have to share with you.

MDS My Library App

With the app you can:

    • Add items you already own to your collection.
    • Add items you want to your wish list.
    • Sort your lists alphabetically or by release date.
    • Search for any downloads.
    • Browse new downloads released every week.

    • The app will not link to your software; therefore, you will need to manually add items you already own to your collection. Think of it as a sentimental journey – you can reminisce while you categorize.
    • For the best viewing experience, Stampin’ Up! recommends using the app on an iPad or iPad Mini as it’s not quite ready for iPhones yet (but they’re working on it!).

MDS postcards

Stampin’ Up! has been trying to think outside the box – well, the rectangle that is and found a great alternative to the plain postcard-shaped postcards! Stampin’ Up! is happy to introduce you to some new 5″ x 7″ and 7″ x 5″ professional print options: the scallop and artisan postcards.

Gorgeous, right? Just update your software, and you’ll have access to these new shape options – perfect for wedding invitations, birth announcements, holiday cards, or every day greetings. Don’t forget, Stampin’ Up! postcards are double-sided, so they’ll print on the back for you, too. You’ll also notice new bleed areas in your menu so that you can design your card with the end result in mind. Then, when you’re ready to order, just select the shape you want in the ordering options.

Cards start at $2.25 and regular bulk discounts apply. So go on, shape up those postcards.

Don’t have My Digital Studio yet? Get it here and try it FREE for 30-days!

Wow! That’s a lot of information all at once. Believe it or not, it’s not all the news that Stampin’ Up! released today. I’ll share more with you tomorrow so be sure to come back soon.

Until next time, stamp on my friends,
Linda

Wishing You Christmas Cheer

Christmas

I finally got the chance to play with some of my new goodies from the Holiday Catalog this weekend.

DSC05345

When I sat down to design this card I knew that I wanted to use the new Cherry Cobbler 1″ Stitched Edge Grosgrain Ribbon from the Holiday Catalog and that I wanted to gather it in the middle and add the lovely snowflake Frosted Finished embellishments at the gather point.  Next I knew I wanted to use the Chalk Talk Framelits for the greeting.  The rest just fell into place.

Here are the products I used in the design of this card:

Crumb Cake Card Stock
Whisper White Card Stock
Cherry Cobbler Card Stock
Season of Style Designer Series Paper Stack
Christmas Messages Stamp Set (clear-mount) (wood-mount)
Cherry Cobbler Classic Stampin’ Pad
Crumb Cake Classic Stampin’ Pad
Sponge Dauber
Big Shot
Chalk Talk Framelits
Magnetic Platform
Stampin’ Trimmer
Cherry Cobbler 1″ Stitched Edge Grosgrain Ribbon
Whisper White Baker’s Twine
Frosted Finishes Embellishments
Mini Glue Dots
Snail Adhesive
Stampin’ Dimensionals

This will be one of the cards I send out this year to family and friends.  How about you?  What will you be sending out as your holiday cards?  Why not send out handmade cards this year?  I can help you get started!

Until next time, stamp on my friends,
Linda
