New Wood Mount Cases!!

 

Hey there, all! Such an AWESOME new thing to share with you guys!

Introducing our 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!

*At this point, incentive stamps will not be packaged in the new cases. And remember, translated sets are only available in clear-mount.

Check out this video to see how completely awesome they are, and get some fun ideas for what to do with yours in June when you order them!

Mixed Bunch Thank You Notecards!

Hello everyone! It has been forever since I posted anything that I have stamped and I feel awful about it! I need to get back into the habit of keeping up this blog!

A few weeks ago, a friend of mine informed me that she was out of hand stamped thank you cards and that we should get together to make some! Today it finally happened! She brought her boys over and they played with Ava while we stamped!

Here is what we came up with:

Mixed Bunch Thank Yous

Very simple, and didn’t take a whole lot of time!

We used:

Paper: Whisper White Note Cards (& Envelopes), Whisper White CS

Ink Pads: Tempting Turquoise, Melon Mambo and Lucky Limeade, Basic Gray

Accessories: Stampin’ Dimensionals

Stamp Sets: Mixed Bunch and Made for You

Hope you like it! Hopefully I can keep the creativity coming!
