New Stamp Pads!
With the introduction of the new 2012-2013 catalog Stampin' Up! has also introduced NEW firm Foam Stamp Pads…they are fantastic!
Here's what they look like – seriously, stampin' at it's finest!!
•Provide better ink coverage for your stamps!
•Light-tap stamping produces flawless images!
•Come with color 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!
•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 colors, including our exclusive In Colors!

Bow Maker
My son Conner just made another batch of bowmakers to earn money to buy a computer. He is selling them for just $5 each plus postage. Please note that they are made from pine to keep the cost low.
Add $3 postage for 1, $4 for 2 and $5 for 3-4. E-mail me privately to order.

I used the "new" Stampin' Up! Simply Scored Scoring tool (with diagonal plate) to make this box using soon to be retired (5/30) products. Plan to offer this as a class sometime soon.
