Ilse's Stampin' Room

Change of address, make the switch!

Hello stampers,

As you have noticed, life is getting busier for me, so in order to take a break, I'll be closing this blog .

However, part of the spirit of Stampin' Up! is to share what we love to do, so I'll keep doing that, but on my Stampin' Up! website blog, Creativeheart. Feel free to subscribe to the feed and get a notification each time I post something new, and you can keep leaving your comments there too. Don't forget to save it in your favourites, so you can find it quickly ;)

I hope to hear from you soon!

Thank you for your preference.

Hasta pronto,

Ilse

For my tea party

I made some simple invitations for my Welcome Baby Tea Party... That's right, our baby girl we'll be arriving sometime in October, but I'll have the party while my mom is here during the Summer.

Sandee Nebel is a consultant for Steeped Fine Loose Teas and Accessories (Canadian based company) here in the Niagara Region. We are all in love with all the different kinds of teas. For the moment I'm drinking rooibos (in its different flavours), and the fruit/herbal ones because they don't have caffeine. And they are all good to prepare iced teas. But all the flavours are delicious (I get to try them at each party I go to). So, if you like to drink good tea, make sure you check out Steeped Tea and call Sandee, she's super nice!

The tea cup made with the oval punches, comes from here. I just added the "baby" tag.

 
I used a texturz plate on the Perfect Plum card stock, and the Scallop Trim Borderpunch on the Lavender Lace piece. Mellow Moss taffeta ribbon. Yes, I'm using all the colours that are being retired, and unfortunately now out of stock too... The Regal Rose card stock and ink are staying, so don't worry.

The stamp set Introducing, although retiring, you can still order it until the end of June with the number 114443 - $20.95, the set Tiny Tags that goes with the Medium Jewelry Tag punch, will still be available in the new catalogue.

These are your last chance days, all the info is on the side bar <----  Go to my websiteto shop online, it's easy and safe.

And now you know why the blog is going so slow... So thank you for your patience, and for still following me.

Hasta pronto,

New Punch Style

 

Starting on January 5th, this will be the new punch design...

A few features of the new punch style: 

• Low-profile, rectangular punch body allows for easier stacking and storing 
• Punches lock shut for easier storage and transport 
• Dual labels on top and end allow for easy identification and selection when stored 
• Available in three sizes: small, medium, and extra-large 
• New punches allow for larger punched images and more intricate designs while providing greater ease of use. 
• Extra -large punch images also allow for two-step designs like the Two-Step Bird punch in the Occasions Mini Catalogue
• Corner punches allow you to punch a corner design along the inside edges of a page, not just corners 
• larger, whole-hand handle design provides better leverage for easier use 
• Available in an exclusive Stampin' Up! color

The black punches will still be available... until they start to retire.

Exciting? Oh, yes! You'll even be able to get a free punch during Sale-A-Bration! What do you think of the new punches?

Hasta pronto,

 

Going clear!

Now you have no pretexts to not like Stampin' Up! Here are the basics:

• Nine different sizes of clear blocks available individually or as a discounted bundle. 
• Blocks have ergonomic grooves on all four sides for easy grip and traditional wood-mount feel. 
• Stamps and blocks are durable and easy to clean with your Stampin' Scrub and Stampin' Mist. 
• Optional image labels on stamp backs let you decide if you want to see the image through the block or not. 
• Tight die-cutting for easy image positioning. 
• Large clear blocks can be used to create collages or spell words with alphabet sets. 
• Stamps store easily in standard, DVD-type cases with artwork on front and spine, making organization easy. 

I can't wait for my box to get here... I don't think I can wait until Christmas to open it :D You'll be able to get them starting January 5th! If you're on my mailing list, soon you'll get your own Occasions Mini Catalogue, where you'll find all the information about the new Clear-Mount stamps.

The wooden-mount stamps will still be available.

What do you think? Let me know, ok?
