Stampin' and Scrappin' with Chris

7 Great Features of Clear Mount Stamps!

Over the past few years, there has been enormous demand from demonstrators and customers alike for a line of repositionable clear-mount rubber stamps. Well, you asked for it, and now you have it! Starting with stamps in the 2010 Occasions Mini Catalog and the 2010 Sale-A-Bration brochure, Stampin' Up! now offers our exclusive stamp art in both traditional wood-mount and the new clear-mount option.

Stampin’ Up!’s new clear-mount rubber stamps are the result of extensive research with the intent to maintain the very best image quality in the stamping industry, while at the same time offering the ease-of-use and storability inherent in repositionable clear-mount rubber stamps.

Here are seven great features of clear-mount rubber stamps and blocks:
 

1. Stamps and blocks are durable and easy-to-clean with your Stampin' Scrub and Stampin' Mist.
    
2. The optional image labels let you decide if you want to see the image through the block or not.
    
3. Stamps have tight die-cutting for easy image positioning.
    
4. There are nine different sizes of clear-mount blocks to choose from.
    
5. Large clear blocks can be used to create collages or spell words with alphabet sets.
    
6. Clear-mount blocks have ergonomic grooves on all four sides for easy grip and a traditional wood-mount feel.
    
7. Stamps store easily in standard, DVD-type cases with artwork on front and spine, making organization easy.

Introducing Stampin' Up!'s Clearance Rack

Stampin' Up! is launching a  new section of their online store called the Clearance Rack.  All items in the clearance rack section are retired.  Many of these retired items will be offered at a substantially reduced price.  As items sell out, Stampin' Up! will add new items - so you'll want to check back often!

These items may only be purchased online only through my Stampin' Up! website while supplies last.  Check them out!  There are some GREAT deals!  Simply follow the link above and click on the "Shop Now" button.  You'll see one of the sections in the online store is for "Clearance Rack"!
