New Stamp Set: Label Love

A few weeks ago I christened my new stamp set from the newly released Annual Catalogue called Label Love along with a new colour to our colour collection called Smoky Slate.  I love that the stamp set has a matching punch called, "Artisan Label."  Here's the card I made below for Father's Day a few weeks ago using some new products from the Catalogue with a retired alphabet stamp set.

Happy Father's Day

Stamps: Label Love (P.33), Typeset Alphabet Lower (retired).
Cardstock: Smoky Slate, Marina Mist and Whisper White.    
Inkpad: Smoky Slate and Marina Mist.  
Accessories: Artisan Label Punch, 5/8" Satin Ribbon - Marina Mist (retired), Paper Snips, SU Bone Folder, Sticky Strip.
Card Size: DL.

Thanks for stopping by.  Enjoy your day!

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!
