Single Stamps – offer period extended!

Stampin’ Up! has had such a great response to our experiment with single stamps — so much so that we are extending our offering through July 31, 2013!

Details

  • These stamps are available on any order type-customer, demonstrator, workshop, or online.
  • Single stamps can be ordered in the online store.
  • These won’t be sent in our typical cases or packaging; they’ll be packaged in cello bags.  If you’d like a case for your stamp, you can buy our Clear-Mount Stamp Cases that come in packs of four (item 119105).
  • This offer is available for clear-mount stamps only.
  • The stamps won’t come with a Clear-Mount Block, and you’ll need to buy a block separately if you don’t already have one.
  • There’s no limit on how many pieces you can buy.
  • These stamps are only available through July 31, 2013, so get them while you can!

Stampin’ Up! set a goal of adding 7,000 new recruits to our family of demonstrators during Sale-a-bration.  As of today, we are only 120 recruits short of that goal.  To help us reach goal, the Sale-a-bration Starter Kit offer has been extended through March 31, 2013!

Doing what I love, and sharing what I love with others are just a few of the benefits that made me decide to become a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator.  I love sharing my passion for stamping with family and friends, meeting new people, and having the chance to build a great business doing so.  I also get to set my own schedule and that is a definite plus!

Even better, Stampin’ Up!’s New Demonstrator Starter Kit is completely customizable!  Build your Starter Kit your way!  For just $99, you get:

  • Your choice of up to $125* worth of any current Stampin’ Up! products!

That’s a total value of $190!

*But wait – through March 31, 2013 you get to select up to $156.50 worth of any current Stampin’ Up! products!  (That’s 25% more stuff!!!)

Here’s a sample of what you can get in your Starter Kit:

Easter Blessings Posies

Easter Blessings

Spoiler Alert!  If you are a member of my immediate family you might want to skip today’s post … this is the card I’ll be sending you for Easter!  🙂

I actually was able to spend some time in my craft room this past weekend.  I was a little rusty creatively (it’s been several weeks since I’ve had any stamps in my hands) so this design was a very slow process.

I knew I wanted to use the Easter Blessings and Pop-Up Posies Designer Kit (both of which are available in the 2013 Spring Catalog) but that’s about as far as I had worked it out in my head.  I tried various types of flowers, including the papers that look like mini cupcake liners but couldn’t get the look I had envisioned.

After I got the flower element figured out I knew my card needed something else to bring it all together.  I looked around on my table and spotted the Natural 7/16″ Trim Ribbon that I had yet to use on a project.  After trying a variety of bow options I found the look I was going for!

I hope you have enjoyed your visit to my blog today and that I have inspired you to get busy with your stamps and inks to create something special for your family this Easter.

Supplies used in this project:

Item #      Description                                      Price

129287     Natural 7/16” Trim Ribbon                 $ 6.95
131395      Pop-Up Posies Designer Kit              $ 12.95

that was offered as a Sale-a-bration item.  Substitute
the DSP of your choice!)

My Paper Pumpkin arrived today!

I’ve been down with a very sore back since Saturday which has kept me home from work.  A little box arrived in the mail today that brought a little bit of happiness into my day.

Inside the little box was a creative escape just waiting for me.  I opened the box and discovered my surprise wrapped up in white tissue paper and sealed with this adorable sticker.


When I removed the tissue paper I found all the necessary elements to create 4 cards, including a 2-piece stamp set and a size D clear block.

I got to work putting the pieces together and created these 4 cards – only 1 of which is exactly like the instructions included with the kit.  I added a couple of extra elements to 2 of the cards to add a little variety to the mix.

Big changes for My Digital Studio starting today!

My Digital Studio  Big Changes Starting Today

My Digital Studio
Big Changes Starting Today

Stampin’ Up! has been working on some big changes to the My Digital Studio product line.  Starting today:

  1. They have changed the name of the software from MDS 2 (and MDS 2+) to MDS.
  2. They’ve lowered the price.  What has been known as MDS 2+ is now $19.95 US/$24.95 CAN.

Coming soon:

  1. The upgrade will be free!  If you have been holding onto the original My Digital Studio software, you will be able to upgrade to the new software for free.  I will let you know when it is available.  Stampin’ Up! has discontinued the item number for the MDS 2 Upgrade (item 130650).
  2. My Digital Studio will soon be available to our friends in Australia and New Zealand.

Other information:

    • MyDigitalStudio.net is currently under construction as they make all of the changes.  Just keep in mind that you may see outdated information for awhile.
    • They will remove the My Digital Studio Catalog at the end March from MyDigitalStudio.net.  If you would like to keep of copy of it, go grab it before then.  They have not been maintaining this file and since it is so outdated, they feel like it’s time to delete it.
    • I understand that when a price changes after you have made a recent purchase it can be frustrating.  If you purchased the software at the old price from March 1 to March 17, 2013, the following will be added to your Download Manager by Wednesday, March 20:MDS 2+ or MDS 2
    • Up To Date Planner Template (item133271, retail value $14.95 US/$18.50 CAN)
    • Hello There Kit (item 133374, retail value $9.95 US/$12.50 CAN)
    • Everyday Woodcuts Embellishments (item 132191, retail value $5.95 US/$7.95 CAN)

MDS Upgrade

    • Hello There Kit (item 133374, retail value $9.95 US/$12.50 CAN)

If you haven’t tried MDS yet, what are you waiting for?  Contact me for more information!

Best made plans …

Well, the weekend has managed to come and go too quickly and I failed to get the time I wanted to spend in my craft room.  I decided to crop the giant crepe myrtle tree in the front of my house on Saturday and strained my back during the process.  I guess I’m truly getting too old to do these types of tasks myself 🙁

I didn’t want the entire weekend to pass without adding a post to my blog.  Instead of sharing a handmade project with you I thought I’d share some information with you about the new Photopolymer stamps that Stampin’ Up! is offering on a trial basis.

Photopolymer Stamps by Stampin' Up! {Offered on a trial basis only}

Photopolymer Stamps by Stampin’ Up!
{Offered on a trial basis only}

Stampin’ Up! searched long and hard for just the right material to be able to introduce completely clear stamping.  And they found it.  I’m excited to announce that Stampin’ Up! now has wood-mount, clear-mount AND photopolymer stamps!  The 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.

Designer Typeset Photopolymer Stamp Set Item # 132956  $13.95 {Recommend clear blocks A, B, G, F, and I. Sold separately}

Designer Typeset Photopolymer Stamp Set
Item # 132956 $13.95
{Recommend clear blocks A, B, G, F, and I. Sold separately}

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.
  • We could go on, but we’ll let you try them for yourself.

Photopolymer stamps will be offered on a trial basis.  Based on popularity,  Stampin’ Up! hopes to release more photopolymer stamp sets over the coming months.  At this time they don’t plan on offering a line of photopolymer sets as expansive as our wood-mount and clear-mount lines.

I just ordered my set and will post some projects just as soon as I can play with them!

I hope you had time this weekend to play with your stamps.  I promise to share something creative with you very soon.

Hugs,
Linda
