How to Mount New Cling Stamps

Remember when you'd have everything ready to stamp and as you were moving toward your project with an inked stamp, it would fall off the block and ruin the project?!  Over the years, I've used adhesives, lip balm, lotion, and many prayers to keep the red rubber stamp on the acrylic block.

BIG NEWS!

With the new cling reusable adhesive mounted red rubber stamps, Stampin' Up! stamps will never fall off the block again!  Yay!  Happy dance!

You still have to mount your red rubber stamps, but it's done a little differently now.  I've created a photo essay for you on how it's done.

This So Hoppy Together Stamp Set is one you can earn for free through Sale-a-bration now through March.


Take stamps from case and sticker sheet from case.  Place sticker sheet with images cut facing upward.

Punch out all the stamps.  I like to mount the remaining outline on the back cover. 
That way I can see if  stamp is missing at a glance.
Peel off part of sticker.

Peel off other part so that full image is seen.

Peel of backing of matching stamp.  Carefully place stamp on sticker and press lightly.

Gently pull up stamp and image will then be on the stamp.

Place stamps in outline for safe storage.

Now they are ready to go! 

Your stamps are ready to use.  Don't leave them on blocks very long.  Gently peel them up from one corner to remove them from the acrylic blocks.  Stampin' Up! has a video introducing Cling Stamps here.

Hope to craft with you soon!

Happy New Year! Time to Sale-a-brate!

     The new year usually comes with resolutions.  This year is no different for me.  Topping my list is getting healthier.  Not too far down the list is building my Stampin' Up! business.  For the last year and half, I've been juggling parenting teenagers with my husband, helping on the farm, teaching school, and trying to keep my Stampin' Up! business going.  At the end of November, I officially went back to retirement from teaching!  So now it's time to craft more and share more with you!

     This is a fantastic time to be building my business.  Stampin' Up! holds their biggest sale of the year at this time.  Sale-a-bration (SAB) has many components so there is something for everyone.

      Any order from the new catalog, Occasions, or the annual catalog of $50 will earn a free pick from the SAB Brochure.  There are 13 different choices.  Two of those are for anyone spending $100.  If your order is $150, for example, you could pick three $50 freebies or one $50 freebie and $100 freebie.  Click here to see the SAB Brochure full of the free choices.

     If your order (from you or you and a few friends) is $250+, you earn an extra $25 in Stampin' Rewards for free products from the catalogs plus the SAB freebies.  That's at least $50 from the catalogs. 

     If you have an order of $99 or more, your best deal is to purchase the starter kit.  YOU get to select $175 in product with free shipping for $99.  During SAB, it's $50 more than usual.  This year there's an added option.  You get all that I've mentioned and an incredible bag for $129. After that, on all orders you place, you earn at least a 20% discount.  If your friends purchase from you, you earn at least 20%.  Obligations after?  Nope!  You have until the end of June 2019 to purchase or sell $300 to continue being a demonstrator on my team.  If you decide it's not for you, you can become a customer of mine again!

   If any of this sounds great to you, contact me today!  I'd love to answer your questions. 

   Happy Crafting!
