Beginnings of a New Stamping Club

It's a beginning of a new 10-month stamping club and I feel so lucky to have most of my club members returning for another year with me.  All of us have created such a great crafting bond and friendship that we enjoy "catching up" with each other every month.  If you're interested in joining one of my stamping clubs, please contact me today.  We would love to have you join us!

Here are the Stamping Club's cards for the month of June:
Just Believe stamp set
Technique: Emboss Resist and Brayering

Another card CASEd from Heather Summers.  I did change out the punches used though.

Quick & easy Father's Day card or birthday card
For a tutorial on creating the Father's Day card above, visit Pink Paper Bakery blog.  It's a blog created by 5 other demos and myself who enjoy giving you a little bit of paper inspiration each day.  Enjoy!

A New Stampin' Up Year

Hip hip hooray!  The new catalog is here to stay!  Stampin' Up!'s new 2012-2013 Catalog is now available and all the new products are available for ordering. 

A new Stampin' Up! year means new stamps, DSP, accessories, Big Shot accessories and this year...new foam ink pads.  
From Stampin' Up!:  We have made a very big change to our Stampin’ Pads.  Introducing firm foam pads!  They change your stamping experience for the better.

We know you’re going to love these new Stampin’ Pads—just look at all the exciting benefits listed below:
  • Provide better ink coverage for your stamps!
  • Light-tap stamping produces flawless images!
In addition, our new Stampin’ Pads...
  • Create wonderfully solid images. The Firm Foam releases more ink onto your rubber stamp than the felt pads. When using the Firm Foam pad, your stamp will get an even, solid covering of ink that you may not have been able to achieve with the felt pads. Please note: if you are using the ink pad frequently you may need to re-ink your Firm Foam pad more often.
  • Have a crisply printed, glossy label on the top of the pad that is easier to read and that will not fade or chip off!
  • Come with color name labels in all four languages (English, Spanish, French, and German)--just choose your language, peel it off the back, and add it to the side of the pad for easy identification! 
  • Use the same patented flip-top case design that stores the inking surface upside down, so the pad surface stays moist!
  • Are available in all colors, including our exclusive In Colors!
If you are interested in getting your hands on the new catalog or testing out the new foam ink pads, contact me today.
