How to Use a Stamp-a-ma-jig

I've talked about using my Stamp-a-ma-jig many times on this blog and for those of you who I've had the pleasure of stamping with, you've seen it and probably used it.  One thing I hear quite often is "I've got one of those, but don't remember how to use it".  Well, here's an informative tutorial for you from the Stampin Up home office. 

 

 

 

So, now that you've seen how it works, why don't you give it a try? You'll love stamping your images exactly where you want them!

A Video featuring My Paper Pumpkin for June

Here's a cute video for you showing a card from the June My Paper Pumpkin Kit.  Enjoy!

Baby Hummingbird Rescued

I don't usually share these things on my blog, usually just my personal fb page, but this was so special, I just have to share it with you.  

The young man in the video rescued the baby hummingbird after it was attacked.  The little baby is so beautiful.  I'm a huge hummingbird fan and love this!  How about you? 

**

 

Speaking of hummingbirds, I'm really going to miss the retiring Stampin Up stamp set called Elements of Style.  It's a beautiful one and features a hummingbird.

Stampin' Up! To Try Clear Stamps

And I can't wait to try them!  The type of stamps are called Photopolymer Stamps. 

Stampin' Up! has searched long and hard for just the right material to be able to introduce completely clear stamping. And we've found it. We're excited to announce that we now have wood-mount, clear-mount AND photopolymer stamps! The new photopolymer will be an addition to our stamp line and will appeal to all types of stampers. Our 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.

 

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. 
• They use FDA, food-safe material. How far can you stretch your stamping creativity? 
• We could go on, but we'll let you try them for yourself.

They are clearly a great choice.

 

Item	Description	Price
132956	Designer Typeset Photopolymer Stamp Set Recommend clear blocks A, B, G, F, and I. Purchase separately. Includes 57 pieces. (Don't faint! This is a good overwhelming feeling.)	$13.95

The Dets

• Photopolymer stamps will be offered on a trial basis. Based on popularity, we hope to release more photopolymer stamp sets over the coming months. At this time we don't plan on offering a line of photopolymer sets as expansive as our wood-mount and clear-mount lines.
• Available to order beginning March 1, 2013. 
• Not available in wood-mount or clear-mount.  
• All photopolymer will be packaged in cello bag w/insert, but don't forget you can store them in our clear cases.

Q&A

 Q: How long will each stamp set that's released be available for purchase?
 A: Since this product line is being offered on a trial basis and is not currently included in our catalog, we won't have a standard amount of time that each set is offered. We'll let you know when each set is no longer available as well as when new ones become available.

Q: What are the future plans for this line?
 A: We are trying it out and if it's popular we'll keep the photopolymer sets coming! So if you want to see more, buy them! And if you like a set you see, buy it now since there are no guarantees that it will be available tomorrow.

 

 

 

So, I'm off to purchase my set.  Want one of your very own?  Easy!  Just go to my online store to purchase! 

 

See you soon!

One of the Most Fun Stampin' Up! Sets Released This Year - Dude, You're Welcome

 

I've got to admit, when I saw this stamp set and infographic, I had to laugh out loud.  Stampin Up has created a stamp set by men for men. I'm gonna order it for me 'cause I've got to have the # % & @ ! stamp!

Here's a quick cute video

 

Dude, You're Welcome #132807

Price $24.95

As a guy, it’s not always easy to express yourself. You know you want to say it, but you just don’t know how. That’s why we’ve created the Dude, You’re Welcome! Kit. Quickly build a card that says just what you want it to say, whether it’s “#%&@!” because you messed up (when does that happen?), for a Special Occasion (you know the occasion), “I _____ You” (love, adore, miss, see?), or a simple “Thank You.”

We’ve got your back. Dude, you’re welcome.

Kit includes:

* Four wood-mount stamps (double-mounted) with the perfect sentiment for every occasion
* Twelve 4" x 6" postcards in four different (manly) colors
* Twelve gray envelopes
* A Basic Gray Classic Stampin’ Pad
* An instructional guide (for the most novice stamper!)

 

So, I'm off to get my kit.  Wonder if Gary will use it?  I would honestly be thrilled to get a card from him that he stamped.  Would your hubby/significant other stamp a card for you?

The NEW Stampin Trimmer Has Arrived

The NEW Paper Trimmer is here!  The New Paper Trimmer is here!  And boy, does it have some AWESOME features!

Introducing the new and improved Stampin' Trimmer! Although paper trimmers are a common crafting tool, this trimmer was designed exclusively by paper crafters for paper crafters-and because it was made by Stampin' Up!, you know it's a cut above the rest!

Features of the All-New Stampin' Trimmer

• An extra-wide 6-1/4" cutting base and an extended 14-1/2" ruler
  • The extra-wide cutting base provides a large work area and is marked in 1/4" (4 mm) increments, allowing for small measurements. 
  • The right-side grid helps you measure and cut very thin strips.
  • The extended cutting arm has a stabilizing leg to provide a sturdy and steady cutting surface for longer cuts. 
  • When fully extended, the extended cutting arm sits flush with the trimmer base, providing more accurate and consistent measurements across the entire surface.
  • The cutting base and track include a full ruler, incorporating measurements down to 1/16" and grid lines that mark each quarter inch. 
  • All rulers and measurements on the base are printed under a plastic cover so your measurements won't wear off.
  • The base has nonskid feet, which keeps the Stampin' Trimmer securely in place on your work area.
• A full 12" cutting and scoring track
  • The extra-long cutting track has space at the top and bottom so you don't have to take the cutting and scoring blades out when you're not using them. 
  • The track gives you enough space to cut or score a full 12" (30.5 cm) without having to remove or switch out handles. 
  • The cutting track locks in place for secure storage or transport. 
  • The track includes an insertion point for cutting and scoring blade handles so you can easily insert handles into the cutting track.
• Specially designed handles and cutting track to ensure straight cuts
  • The hook on the scoring and cutting blade handles keeps the handles stable so the cuts are as straight as possible.
  • Handles come in two colors: dark for cutting, light for scoring. 
  • The precision tip on the cutting blade allows you to pinpoint precisely where you're cutting.
  • The point on the side of each handle shows you where the blade will cut, making it easy to see exactly where your cuts and scores will begin.
• Storage compartment under base
  • The storage compartment holds scoring and cutting tools such as a Bone Folder, Simply Scored Stylus, extra scoring and cutting blades, and even business cards. 
  • Separate compartments within the storage compartment keep your tools organized, and the clear cover makes it easy to see what you've stored.
• Product details: item 126889; $29.95
