Valentine

Here's some more products that will be available in the Occasions Mini on Jan 4, 2010.
The base of the card is Pretty in Pink Cardstock. The Real Red layer has been punched with the amazing new Scallop Trim Edge punch which will be in the Sale A Bration catalogue - you can get it for FREE with a $65 order. How awesome is that? The next layer is blush blossom and that fabulous designer paper is called Sending Love Specialty paper - it has glitter on it (and the glitter doesn't fall off) - it's also in the Mini. The sentiment is from the new Stamp Set Well Scripted (Mini) and is stamped in Real Red on Very Vanilla cardstock and framed with some hardware from the Styled Vanilla Hodgepodge Hardware in the Main catalogue. It is punched out with the Designer Label punch.
Hope you like it.
Happy New Year!

This sweet little card is a sneak peak at products from the new Occasions Mini Catalogue (that you should get very soon).
I used the Sweet Pea stitched felt (it's so cute!), a piece of the Sweet Pea Designer Series Paper pack (You get tons of paper) and the stamp set Well Scripted stamped in Chocolate Chip. The cardstock colours are Chocolate Chip and Sahara Sand.
Wouldn't you like to make one of your own like this? Call or email me if you didn't get a mini catalogue and I'll get one to you.

Yes, I'm thinking about Valentine's Day now! And this card has sneak peaks of what is to come in the Occasions Mini coming out in January. First of all the the Whisper White base is embossed with the Perfect Polka Dots Impressions folder. The heart is the new scallop heart embosslit (the raised dots are heart shaped!) in Real Red. The bird and branch are a new punch - and when I say new, I mean the whole design is new. They're flat and lock closed for easy storage. The punch is the Extra Large Two step Bird (the wing is punched separately as well). The wide Real Red Grosgrain ribbon is tied with a piece of linen thread onto which the Love from Tiny Tags (new stamp set) is attached. I punched it out with the new Medium Jewelry tag punch. The bird and the tag are textured white cardstock, but that's hard to see here. I bought a bunch of the new clear mount stamp sets and I can't wait to show you how that works. You'll have to book a workshop to see!! The mini is sooo exciting!!
Take care, Happy Stamping

Stampin' Up! is going to clear mount stamps as well as the wood ones. What that means is our rubber stamps can be mounted on reusable acrylic blocks! Check this out:

Our new clear-mount 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 stamps.


Clear-Mount 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.

This is so exciting. Your choice - Stampin' Up!'s wonderful Rubber Stamps with the wood blocks and now your choice of Clear Mount too.
