Awesome new iPhone App!

It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's a new app from Stampin' Up!

November 14, 2012
 
It has been hard to keep this a secret--we're so excited about it! We have created a card-making application, and we already have a great name for it: Simply Sent! This iPhone app will allow you and your customers to create an e-card--from a template or completely design your own--and then send it via e-mail or post it on Facebook. And it's free!

Here's something you should know about this app: it's not My Digital Studio on a mobile device, not even close. This scaled-back version will only give you and your customers a taste of what you can create when you buy My Digital Studio (MDS)--which by the way is included in the Extravaganza Sale on Novemer 29th.  This is the perfect opportunity to sample MDS.

Are you ready to try it out?  Call me or email me and I'll walk you through the process of how it all works.  I can even meet you for a one-on-one demonstration!

and New Product:

Sizzix Texture Boutique Embossing Machine

Due to Stampin'Up!'s partnership with Sizzix, they are pleased to be able to offer a test run of the Texture Boutique Embossing Machine in our North American markets. They have 4,000 available to be sold only while supplies last. If this product test goes well, they may offer the Texture Boutique again in the future. The Texture Boutique works with Textured Impressions Embossing Folders to transform ordinary cardstock, paper, metallic foil, or vellum into an embossed, textured masterpiece. This machine embosses only; it does not die cut. Because this is a product test, the Texture Boutique is not branded with the Stampin' Up! logo. It comes in Sizzix packaging and is the same color and design that is sold in stores. We recommend you read the included instructions before using the Texture Boutique and we recommend the same to your customers who purchase it.

 'Tis the season of giving, and the Texture Boutique makes a wonderful gift for anyone who wants to create their own elegant embossed art. To help you with your gift-giving needs, we're offering a special value bundle that saves you $5.90. If you prefer, you can also purchase the Texture Boutique alone. Looking for stocking stuffers? Pick up some additional embossing folders.

Stampin' Up's New Paper Trimmer is Here!

Introducing the new and improved Stampin' Trimmer! Although paper trimmers are a common crafting tool, this trimmer was designed exclusively by paper crafters for paper crafters-and because it was made by Stampin' Up!, you know it's a cut above the rest!

I recently got to pre-order my Stampin' Trimmer a couple of weeks ago and have had a chance to test out the new feaures.  I'm lovin' it and am so glad it's available to everyone starting today!

Features of the All-New Stampin' Trimmer

• An extra-wide 6-1/4" cutting base and an extended 14-1/2" ruler
• The extra-wide cutting base provides a large work area and is marked in 1/4" (4 mm) increments, allowing for small measurements.
• The right-side grid helps you measure and cut very thin strips.
• The extended cutting arm has a stabilizing leg to provide a sturdy and steady cutting surface for longer cuts.
• When fully extended, the extended cutting arm sits flush with the trimmer base, providing more accurate and consistent measurements across the entire surface.
• The cutting base and track include a full ruler, incorporating measurements down to 1/16" and grid lines that mark each quarter inch.
• All rulers and measurements on the base are printed under a plastic cover so your measurements won't wear off.
• The base has nonskid feet, which keeps the Stampin' Trimmer securely in place on your work area.
• A full 12" cutting and scoring track
• The extra-long cutting track has space at the top and bottom so you don't have to take the cutting and scoring blades out when you're not using them.
• The track gives you enough space to cut or score a full 12" (30.5 cm) without having to remove or switch out handles.
• The cutting track locks in place for secure storage or transport.
• The track includes an insertion point for cutting and scoring blade handles so you can easily insert handles into the cutting track.
• Specially designed handles and cutting track to ensure straight cuts
• The hook on the scoring and cutting blade handles keeps the handles stable so the cuts are as straight as possible.
• Handles come in two colors: dark for cutting, light for scoring.
• The precision tip on the cutting blade allows you to pinpoint precisely where you're cutting.
• The point on the side of each handle shows you where the blade will cut, making it easy to see exactly where your cuts and scores will begin.
• Storage compartment under base
• The storage compartment holds scoring and cutting tools such as a Bone Folder, Simply Scored Stylus, extra scoring and cutting blades, and even business cards.
• Separate compartments within the storage compartment keep your tools organized, and the clear cover makes it easy to see what you've stored.
• Product details: item 126889; $29.95

Here's a video that lets you learn more about all these great features.  

Christmas Card Classes_Are you ready for the Reindeer Games?

I know it's a bit early but I'm really starting to get excited about the holidays and Christmas always seems to sneek up on me.

Here's a sampling of Christmas Cards that I've held classes for in recent months:

If you'd like to make any one or all of these cards, please call me or send me an email and we'll make a date for you and a few of your friends.  Let me help you earn your FREE set of Classic Ink Pads as an early Christmas gift to you!

If you've seen something online that you'd like to make, show me a picture of the card or a link and I'll do my best to create something comparable.
