Stamp Crazy with Alison!

Product Shares!

 

If you are anything like me you flip to the accessories section of the catalogue first to see the new ribbons and Designer Series Paper. I love it all but purchasing all the paper and all the new ribbon would cost over $400! A better idea is a Product Share. You receive a little bit of everything - just enough to use on your cards and decide what you might like to buy more of...

 

Designer Series Paper - there are 14 papers available (page 162 - 165) and in the share you'll receive a 6" x 6" sample of each design for a total of 84 sheets. The cost is $30 inclusive of shipping/taxes. I'll also include a 6" x 6" piece of each of the new In Colours! Pages 162-165

 

1/4" Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon - yummy colours of grosgrain ribbon with stiches down the middle for texture. 10 colours in all! Receive 2 yards of each colour for $16.50. Includes a FREE sample of the In Color Dahlias (one of each of the five colours) Page 173

 

3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon - Love this new ribbon with four rows of stiches through satin - comes in the new In Color shades. Receive 2 yards of each colour for $15. Includes a FREE sample of the Vintage Faceted Designer Buttons and Naturals Designer Buttons (6 designs) Page 172

 

As soon as I have 8 signups for the Designer Paper and 5 for the Ribbons I will place the orders.  Then I will cut and package for you to pick up or mail (there will be additional cost for mailing).  Email me to sign up.  You can pay by cheque or I can send you a PayPal invoice.

 

Happy Stamping!

Introducing Stampin' Up!'s NEW Ink Pad Design!

Hello Stampers,

I'm so excited to introduce the new ink pad design from Stampin' Up!  I love it and so will you.  I've shown it to some of my customers and they are WOWED by the improvements to the stamping surface.  You know the saying "if it ain't broke, don't fix it?"  Well I love the pads and I don't think they were broken but the improvements added to the new design certainly made them even better than before.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Improvements include:

• The surface of the pad is a firm foam instead of the current felt pad. They change your stamping experience for the better.
• 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 colour 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! No more trying to guess the colour when they are stacked in the Colour Caddy - you can see the name now.
• 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 colours, including our exclusive In Colors!

Please note: Five ink colours have undergone formula changes to improve functionality and colour stability with the new firm foam pads. These colours are

• Basic Black
• Basic Gray
• Marina Mist
• Perfect Plum
• Tempting Turquoise

Here's a video I made showcasing the new pads and how fabulous the stamped images are - enjoy!

Happy Stamping,

Alison

 

World Treasures Again!

Hello Stampers,

Another fun sample using the World Treasures Stamp Set available on June 1st in the new catalogue.

 

 

Stamps: World Treasures

Cardstock: Soft Suede, Daffodil Delight, Internation Bazaar Designer Series Paper

Ink: Midnight Muse, Lucky Limeade, Raspberry Ripple Stampin' Write Markers

Other: Fancy Fan Embossing Folder, Apothecary Accents Framelits (NEW)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love the new Fancy Fan Embossing Folder - it adds so much texture to the card so you don't need anything else.  Such a simple card.  The sentiment is one stamp but I used Stampin' Write Markers directly on the stamp to create the different colours.  The new Apothecary Accents Framelit dies have one die that fits the image perfectly!  Gotta love that you don't have to cut it out.

Happy Stamping,

Alison

Hello Stampers,

I have copies of the new Stampin' Up! 2012-2013 Catalogue here ready for pickup or mailing.  I know you'll love the new products and beautiful samples.  Sometimes I forgot it's a catalogue - it's more like a beautiful stamping magazine!

If you live in Vancouver (and don't already have a Stampin' Up! demonstrator) please email me and you can pick up a catalogue at my studio.  Or if you prefer, come to my BOGO event on June 9th where you can also make four make n' takes using the new products!  More details here!

The BOGO event will be awesome - you will earn FREE NEW product to the value of the items you purchase from the retirement table.  So, for instance, if you purchase $40 from my retirement table (including stamps, paper, Big Shot items, ribbon, samples and more!) you can then pick $40 of FREE merchandise from the new catalogue - BUY ONE, GET ONE.  Another way to look at it - pick what you want to purchase from the NEW catalogue and then go pick the same value from the retirement table for FREE.  WOW - TWO FOR ONE!

If you live out of my area you can still get a catalogue - just pay the shipping - the catalogue is FREE.  If you live in Canada I'll be happy to pop one in the mail for you!  There are two shipping options - one regular mail and one express. Use the drop down menu to choose the delivery method you prefer.  There is no FEE for the catalogue just the mailing.

Here's another sample using the World Treasures stamp set that's coming in the new catalogue on June 1st!

We received the stamp set and Fancy Fan Folder Embossing Folder at the Disney World Incentive Trip.  The new Embossing Folders are longer than the older style so the design completely covers a regular card.  Gotta love that!

Sneak Peek - Betsy's Blossoms

Hello Stampers,

My sister, Mo Dickie, designed this card and sent me a picture.  When I saw it I knew I was going to have to make one for myself.  I also created a video to show you how to create the special fold used in this card. 

The card uses the new Betsy's Blossoms Stamp Set from the catalogue which is set to release this Friday!  It also features the Floral District Designer Series Paper which I LOVE!

Many of my customers already have the new catalogue in their hot little hands (or it's been mailed to you out-of-towners and will be coming soon!).  If you live in Vancouver and don't already have a Stampin' Up! demonstrator please let me know and I'll hook you up with a copy.  If you live ANYWHERE in Canada just send me an email and I'll get one in the mail to you too.  Did you know you can order from me either by email or online and receive Customer Appreciation Points?  This offer extends to anyone living in Canada. 

So...what is you favourite new stamp set?  Or new accessory? Or what do you love about the layout of the catalogue?  I'd love to hear your feedback so leave me a message in my comments section and one lucky person will receive a sample of new product by mail!

Sneak Peek - World Treasures

Hello  Stampers,

When we were in Disney World for the Stampin' Up! Incentive Trip we received the new stamp set called World Treasures.  I wasn't sure about the set when I first received it because Scottish people are superstitious about Peacock.  I have sinced embraced my inner Peacock and have fallen in love with the set!

Over the next few days I'll be posting some samples using this set and other sneak peek items from the new catalogue. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stamps:  World Treasures
Cardstock: Midnight Muse, Lucky Limeade, Tangerine Tango
Ink: Midnight Muse, Lucky Limeade, Tangerine Tango
Other: Lucky Limeade 3/8" Ruffled Ribbon, Rhinestones

The Peacock is popped up to give it dimension. 

Happy Stamping,

Alison
