Single Stamps!

Single Stamps
 
A few months ago Stampin' Up! asked our North American Facebook friends what they thought of the idea of being able to buy single stamps instead of a whole set. The response was so positive that Stampin' Up! started experimenting with it in the North American Market. The experiment has been successful - so successful that we decided to try it out here too! 

From now until 31 August 2013 (or while supplies last) Stampin' Up! are excited to offer you five single-image stamps for you to choose from!

Details
  • These won't be sent in our typical cases or packaging; they'll be packaged in cello bags. If you'd like a case for your stamp, you can buy our Clear-Mount Stamp Cases that come in packs of four.
  • This offer is available for clear-mount stamps only.
  • The stamps won't come with a Clear-Mount Block, and you'll need to purchase a block separately if you don't already have one. The recommended block sizes can be found on the flyer.
  • There's no limit on how many stamps you can purchase.
  • These stamps are only available through 31 August 2013, so get them while you can!



    Get in touch if you would like to order with me today!

    Bye for now,

For our 25-year anniversary, we’re bringing back some of our favourite stamp images from the last quarter century and combining them into five sets, which will release - one set per month -until October 2013. Even better, along with some great classic images, each “Best of” set will also include a never-before-seen image! 

Please note:
  • All Best of stamp sets will include 3-5 images, including a never-before seen image and will be priced at £13.95.
  • While we are releasing just one Best of stamp set per month (with a new theme each month) until October, all of the Best of sets will be available until March 31, 2014.
  • A new flyer will be released every month for each new Best of set.
