My Digital Studio: New Hostess Downloads and Colors

It's an exciting week--the 2013-2014 annual catalog is live! (Insert pause for celebration.) With that, we have some digital news.
Hostess and Catalog Content
You may have noticed that there aren't any My Digital Studio discs in the catalog. We have found that the best way to feature digital content is through our digital venues. We will continue to offer exclusive hostess and catalog content in digital form (just not on discs).

In fact, we have two new hostess downloads for you today. (PDF)
Happy Life Kit (item 134673)

 Every Celebration Ensemble (item 134675)

 What's the best part about offering hostess and catalog content this way? Downloads never retire!

Speaking of traditional products, we bet you want those new colors for MDS, right? Good news-the next time you're connected to the Internet, the software will add all seven new colors:

• Baked Brown Sugar
• Coastal Cabana

We've also fixed some bugs and added other enhancements; click here for a complete list. As you can tell, the My Digital Studio product line is always adapting to best suit your needs.

Color Refresh

I am so glad that Island Indigo is going to be part of the color renovation and we will have it around for awhile! I also can't wait until you see the BRAND NEW color, SMOKY SLATE.  What do you think of the new color changes?

Paper Pumpkin has ARRIVED

I signed up for Paper Pumpkin as soon as I could.  The first month has arrived at my doorstep.  I am so excited.  I can't wait to get started on the cards.  I wanted to show you what came in the mail.  :-)

For the first month, some of the boxes were brown.  Future boxes will the pretty red box.

Does the design on the box look familiar?

When I opened the box everything was nicely wrapped and a little welcome note was included.  (Sorry, the chocolate box was not included)  :-)

Here is what it looked like when I moved the welcome note.  HHhmmm, what can I do with the Paper Pumpkin label.......

In the box were two new stamps, a basic gray Stampin' spot, a FREE clear block (D) (free with your first month), and new cards to create, complete with instructions.

The kit also comes with all of the embellishments.  These kits are great for the beginners and the the stampers that have been stamping for awhile.

• Each month we send you a unique, surprise kit with a project-cards, journals, décor, and more! (We've even color-coordinated, measured, and cut everything for you!)
• Each kit includes stamps, ink, paper, and accessories-everything but adhesive.
• Each kit gives you a 30-minute creativity escape.
• We will ship your Paper Pumpkin on or around the 15th of the month.  
• You need to sign up for a kit by the 10th of the month to get that month's kit. If you sign up on the 11th of the month, your first kit will come the next month. (Let's say you sign up on May 10th, we'll send your kit around May 15th. If you sign up on May 11th, we'll send your first kit around June 15th.)
• A Paper Pumpkin membership is $19.95 per month (and shipping is included!)
• There's no commitment, you can cancel your monthly Paper Pumpkin at anytime. You can also skip a month if you want.
• Starting in early March, we'll offer a Try-It kit if you'd like to try Paper Pumpkin for one month.

Do you want your own kit yet??

It's so easy to get started. Simply sign up for the program by visiting www.mypaperpumpkin.com and click Get it. Every month a new, surprise project kit arrives at your doorstep. Just think of the anticipation of creating a fun project to pin, showoff, and share with your friends and family-every month!

A Free Gift in Your Very First Kit

The Welcome Kit is the very first Paper Pumpkin you will receive in your first month of membership. The Welcome Kit includes a free gift-a clear acrylic block!

Introducting Photopolymer Stamps

We've searched long and hard for just the right material to be able to introduce completely clear stamping. And we've found it. We're excited to announce that we now have wood-mount, clear-mount AND photopolymer stamps! The new photopolymer will be an addition to our stamp line and will appeal to all types of stampers. Our top-quality photopolymer has just enough give to create a perfectly stamped image every time and with the introduction of our firm-foam pads, let's just say they're meant for each other! Photopolymer stamps will also be unique, fun designs that will inspire you and provide more versatile options you may not see in our traditional wood- and clear-mount stamp options.

What makes them so great?

• They're entirely transparent for perfect placement every time! 
• They are durable. The photopolymer material is designed to last. 
• Can you say sticky? (Don't worry; in a good way.) These stamps stick amazingly well to our clear blocks.
• They're age tested. They won't yellow or cloud up over time. 
• We could go on, but we'll let you try them for yourself.

They are clearly a great choice.

Item	Description	Price
132956	Designer Typeset Photopolymer Stamp Set Recommend clear blocks A, B, G, F, and I. Purchase separately. Includes 57 pieces. (Don't faint! This is a good overwhelming feeling.)	$13.95

The Fine Print

• Photopolymer stamps will be offered on a trial basis. Based on popularity, we hope to release more photopolymer stamp sets over the coming months. At this time we don't plan on offering a line of photopolymer sets as expansive as our wood-mount and clear-mount lines.
• Available on all order types beginning March 1, 2013. 
• Not available in wood-mount or clear-mount.  
• All photopolymer will be packaged in cello bag w/insert, but don't forget you can store them in our clear cases.

Q&A
 Q: How long will each stamp set that's released be available for purchase?
A: Since this product line is being offered on a trial basis and is not currently included in our catalog, we won't have a standard amount of time that each set is offered. We'll let you know when each set is no longer available as well as when new ones become available.

I'm Back

Hi Everyone!

I just wanted to say that I am finally back.  I have been concentrating on some things at home and now am able to back to blogging.  It has been a crazy couple of months and I am looking forward to spring.  I can't wait to feel the warm sun on my face and everything turn green.  There is nothing like Spring to warm the soul.

So with my first post back, I wanted to give you a sneak peak of Stampin' Up's NEW product line:  This and That.

This and That debuts in the 2013-2014 annual catalog, but Stampin' Up is giving everybody the chance to get it starting March 23. Watch for more information on March 23!

I will also be participating in a spring blog hop soon, so watch for more information this week!

Thanks for sticking with me during these past couple of months.

How does shipping work with Paper Pumpkin?
Your Paper Pumpkin will be automatically shipped to you each month (so fun!). Because we are auto shipping these, the pricing structure is slightly different from our other Stampin' Up! products.

10 Never Seen Before Images

You wanted more? You got more! We've had a great response so far to our experiment with single stamps. So much so that we are making ten more never-before-seen images available as single stamps available through March 31, 2013.

Details

• These stamps are available on any order type-customer, workshop, or online. 
• You can find the stamp item numbers on the Assortment 3 flyer and the Assortment 4 flyer.
• Single stamps can be ordered in the online store.
• These won't be sent in our typical cases or packaging; they'll be packaged in cello bags. If you'd like a case for your stamp, you can buy our Clear-Mount Stamp Cases that come in packs of four (item 119105).
• This offer is available for clear-mount stamps only.
• The stamps won't come with a Clear-Mount Block, and you'll need to buy a block separately if you don't already have one. The recommended block sizes can be found on the flyer. 
• There's no limit on how many pieces you can buy.
• These stamps are only available through March 31, 2013, so get them while you can!

Some of my favorites are:

Best of 25 Years Stamp Sets - January

As part of our 25-year anniversary celebration, we're bringing back some of our favorite stamp images from the last quarter century and combining them into 12 sets, which will release-one set per month-during 2013. Even better, along with some great classic images, each "Best of" set will also include a never-before-seen image!
Check back here every month to download a flyer for a new Best of stamp set, and be sure to share it with your friends.
Some things to remember:

• All Best of stamp sets will include 3-5 images, including a never-before seen image, and will be priced at $14.95.
• While we are releasing just one Best of stamp set per month (with a new theme each month), all of the Best of sets will be available until March 31, 2014.
• A new flyer will be released every month for each new Best of set.
• All Best of stamp sets are available in Clear-Mount only. (You might like to also purchase the clear mount block bundle)

As a special incentive to collect the Best of stamps, starting in February we're including a collector's card and 25-year proof of purchase sticker with every Best of set. Collect six stickers, and send it in to redeem a FREE set of your choice valued up to $14.95! Free sets must be redeemed no later than April 30, 2014.

Dude, Your Welcome!

You asked, and Stampin' Up! listened! We're excited to introduce our new, very manly stamping kit: the Dude, You're Welcome! kit.

• Four wood-mount stamps (double-mounted) with the perfect sentiment for every occasion
• Twelve 4" x 6" postcards in four different (manly) colors
• Twelve gray envelopes
• A Basic Gray Classic Stampin' Pad
• An instructional guide (for the most novice stamper!)

Basically, the kit includes everything a dude needs to create the perfect manly card that any woman would adore, all packaged in an appropriately masculine box.

Item	Description	Price
132807	Dude, You're Welcome! Kit	$24.95
