The Open Sea

Need a great male card? The Open Sea stamp set is wonderful for making masculine cards and here is a great card that my friend Bonnie gave me recently during one of our demonstrator gatherings. I really like the way she used our Stampin’ Distressing Tool (item 127562) from the Spring Catalog to distress the edges of the card stock.

The Open Sea swap Bonnie

Did you notice that this card was created using our Not Quite Navy Ink and Cardstock that are being retired? Although I’m excited about the upcoming Color Refresh, I’m going to really miss Not Quite Navy. It’s always been one of my go to colors for masculine cards. I’m sure I’ll find myself reaching for our In Color Midnight Muse more and more when Not Quite Navy is no longer available soon.

Is getting together and sharing your love of stamping something that you would like to do? Have you ever thought about becoming a Demonstrator?

Coming Soon – NEW Wood Mount Cases

Stampin’ Up! just announced that they will be packaging their wood-mount stamp sets in NEW Wood Mount Cases! Yippee!!

Needless to say this makes the organizer in me squeal with delight – uniform and “modular” in design.  They will also have the images and stamp set names on the spine to make searching for the set you want even easier.

I know you’re asking when these will be available-  Well the NEW Wood Mount Cases will become available as of May 31st when the NEW 2013-2014 Catalog goes live. AND extra Wood Mount Cases will also be available just like our Clear Mount Cases currently available now!
