Wednesday update

I am still working away, but I wanted to let you know about an exciting thing that Stampin' Up! is going to do now.

Did you know that Stampin' Up! has been an industry leader for several years? Their original, exclusive stamps have earned the prestigious Creating Keepsakes Readers' Choice Award for best rubber stamps eight years in a row!

Stampin' Up has announced that all new stamp sets in the Fall-Winter 2008 Idea Book & Catalog (including new hostess sets) will be die cut for your convenience! Stampin' Up! knows we have enjoyed the flexibility of custom mounting our stamps, and with these die-cut sets, all we will need to do is pop, peel, and place before you begin stamping. If you purchased a stamp set from the Occasions Mini Catalog, you know how convenient it is to have the stamps die cut already. I know when I receive my order from Stampin' Up! I cannot wait to begin stamping! With the stamps being die cut, I can get to stamping right away! Yahoo! This is also wonderful news for those stampers who have told me some days it is too painful to cut out the rubber stamps because of their carpal tunnel (although they have also commented with the Craft and Rubber scissors that Stampin' Up! sells, this has made it much easier to cut out their stamps).

The thing to remember is only the new stamps will be die cut; sets carried over from the last catalog and those on the dormant list will still require trimming. But, each new set will feature a die cut icon so you and your customers will have no problems identifying die-cut sets.
