New Yee-Haw Photopolymer Stamp set and CUTE Card Samples!

Article from stampin' up! blog

Written by Melody H, Stampin' Up Concept Artist:

I’ve been anxiously waiting for today for months and months. It’s finally here! Some of you who attended Inspire. Create. Share. in July may have already seen the latest stamp set from Stampin’ Up! Ten lucky attendees even took it home (and I hope they’ve been having some fun with it). For the rest of you who haven’t seen it yet . . . drumroll, please . . . and can I get a Yee-Haw?!

For those of you who attended convention—especially those who came to the Stamps, Ink, and Paper class— you’ll have heard the story behind this stamp set. I was given an assignment late last year to carve a stamp set with the Undefined Stamp Carving Kit for a Stampin’ Success article. “Howdy” was the first image I carved. I’m not sure why I picked that word. I’m not a country girl. I’m not a fan of country music. I do love to say “howdy.” Maybe it’s just my attempt to spice up “hello.” Whatever the reason, it was the spark that lit the inspiration fire that resulted in the Yee-Haw Photopolymer Stamp Set.

I had a lot of fun doodling this stamp set. I knew I wanted some imagery to go with all of the fun sentiments. The lasso is probably my favorite piece and was designed to fit around Howdy, Rootin’ Tootin’, and Yee-Haw.


My second favorite image is the sheriff’s badge. The “sheriff” sentiment was purposely left separate from the badge so that you could easily write in someone’s name, then pin it to a shirt or bandana. It also makes an adorable tag for a gift.

This stamp set isn’t just for Texans, although I know a few who will love it (Erica, Lydia . . .)! Here are a few samples that show how the images can be used to make a soft, pretty card or a sweet little card for a baby shower, a fun thank you note for a friend, or a colorful celebration card.

Stampin' Up April 2014 Paper Pumpkin Kit Video plus more GREAT news!

I've been working night & day these past couple of months, so it's been really quiet on the blog (did anyone notice? just so you know, any supportive comments are always greatly appreciated!). So I thought I'd catch you up with Stampin' Up videos and news. This first video shows you how to assemble the April 2014 Paper Pumpkin Kit.   From now on, all the Paper Pumpkin Kits will have Photopolymer stamps in them. These stamps are see-through and cling wonderfully to the clear blocks. Stampin' Up has started manufacturing them in-house, so you know the quality is GREAT!



And here's a video by Shannon West showing some other great ways to use Photopolymer stamps!   Email subscribers will need to click here to get to my blog to watch the videos.

Stampin' Up introduces Photopolymer Stamps - video and samples - PLUS March's Best of 25 Years Stamp Set!

Here's the funny video talking about "what is" photopolymer; it doesn't show any stamping, it's just a funny intro for the new line of stamps! Email subscribers, please click on the above Post Title to get to my blog and watch the video.

Here's the first Photopolymer Stamp Set Stampin' Up is offering:



Here are the benefits of Photopolymer:

First, they’re completely clear, making it oh-so-easy to stamp exactly where you want. They come unmounted, on an acetate sheet, and temporarily adhere to our clear blocks. It's really great that they line up well and close; there aren't gaps between letters!



Second, they are pliable. Want your arrow to shoot a certain way? No problem! Want your banner to have the perfect sag? Easy peasy! Being able to play with the shape gives you even more creative freedom.



The Designer Typeset Stamp Set is in the online store starting now. You can go HERE to order.  Here are some stamp set samples:





And here is the March "Best of 25 Years" Stamp Set; don't forget about keeping track of these purchasces with the collectors card; get it here!

Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by!
