New style Punches!

You will love the new punches that are coming out on Jan 5th! I have been having fun playing with mine the last few days!Starting with the new 2010 Occasions Mini Catalog and continuing with all new punch designs going forward, Stampin' Up! has adopted a new body style for our punches!A few features of the new punch style:
Low-profile, rectangular punch body allows for easier stacking and storing.
Punches lock shut for easier storage and transport.
Dual labels on top and end allow for easy identification and selection when stored.
Available in three sizes: small, medium, and extra-large.
New punches allow for larger punched images and more intricate designs while providing greater ease of use.
Extra -large punch images also allow for two-step designs like the Two-Step Bird punch in the Occasions Mini Catalog.
Corner punches allow you to punch a corner design along the inside edges of a page, not just corners.
Larger, whole-hand handle design provides better leverage for easier use.Part of Stampin' Up!'s commitment to providing demonstrators and customers with the very best crafting tools includes the belief in what we call continuous improvement. Essentially what this means is that even if something works very well, but we see a chance to improve it, we will work to make it even better. While new punch designs will be in the new body style, existing designs will remain in the existing body style for now.

Whats New with SU!


Clear Mount Stamps Are Coming!

I am so excited! Stampin' Up! has taken the best of both worlds to create these clear mount stamps. They are the same excellent quality rubber stamps they have always had but now the blocks are clear so you can see through them. These will be available to on Jan 5th! Over the past few years, there has been enormous demand from demonstrators and customers alike for a line of repositionable clear-mount rubber stamps. Well, you asked for it, and now you have it! Starting with stamps in the 2010 Occasions Mini Catalog and the 2010 Sale-A-Bration Brochure, Stampin' Up! now offers our exclusive stamp art in both traditional wood-mount, and the new clear-mount option. Our new clear-mount rubber 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 rubber stamps. Clear-Mount Rubber Stamp 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.

The Holiday Season Has Begun!

I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving and spent time with loved ones.
I know it gets hectic this time of year but I must confess I actually love it!

I will be posting some new ideas later this week, but I wanted to remind every one that this time of year can also be hard on others ( ones we may not even be aware of)

This year our family has adopted a family to bring some cheer to their holiday season. We decided if we bought one less present for each other we could make several children's christmas dreams come true
After losing my job in June I realized how quickly things could change and while I was one of the lucky ones and found another job , there are many who have not. So while you may not be able to adopt a family for the holidays think of other things that you could do to brighten some else's holiday season....
Send cards to troops over seas ( use some of the retired swaps and make them into cards and send them to the troops) I have alreadly started mine so I could get them in the mail this week .
Drop off a new toy for Toys for Tots, Volunteer at a soup kitchen, Visit a Children's Hospital
These are just a few things that will not only brighten someones Holiday season but
its amazing how great you feel doing it!!
Go Ahead try it and see for your self
I wish you all a joyous
Holiday season!

Check back in a few days for any SU specials and ideas !!
