November 14, 2012

It has been hard to keep this a secret-we're so excited about it! We have created a card-making application, and we already have a great name for it: Simply 

Sent! This iPhone app allows customers to create an e-card-from a template or completely on their own-and send it via e-mail or post it on Facebook. And it's free!

Here's something you should know about this app: it's not My Digital Studio on a mobile device, not even close. This scaled-back version will only give customers a taste of what they can create when they buy MDS. We want to get our name and our art out there so more people than ever before will know about Stampin' Up! We hope you'll get excited about it as well and that you'll do the following:

Download it from iTunes or the App Store, share it with all your friends, and post a review! The more positive reviews it gets, the more prominent place it takes in the iTunes store. 

Try it out! 

I'm so excited!!! Give them both a try! Have fun and thank you so much for stopping by!!! 

GREAT News!!!

Unfortunately, I cannot share what I did get to see...yet.. but stay tuned for that! In the meantime I thought I would share a little of the event with you...

If you are local, both this and next weekend I will be at Laurie Carey's home. Follow the pink signs to her house.

Giving YOU A Sneak Peek!!

Hi Everyone!!! Happy Wednesday! I hope your week is going really well! I've been one busy chick. Last week I took a trip on a wim so to speak.. packed a bag and headed south to visit my nephew in Bowling Green KY. He is going to Western Kentucky University to get his masters in Psychology. I miss that guy! It was nice to see him! We delivered him a few food items and he was a happy camper. I was able to experience downtown Nashville for the first time too! Loved it!!

So, I have some really fun stuff to share with you! Stampin` Up! Is giving you all a sneak peek into our Stampin` Success Magazine that we as Demonstrators get either other month. I think this is one of my most favorite perks I receive being a demonstrator.

You can take a peek at this wonderful magazine, HERE .

The NEW Stampin` Trimmer! A Cut Above Other Trimmers!

Introducing the new and improved Stampin' Trimmer! Although paper trimmers are a common crafting tool, this trimmer was designed exclusively by paper crafters for paper crafters-and because it was made by Stampin' Up!, you know it's a cut above the rest! You can find the trimmer on page 180 in our catalog.
Features of the All-New Stampin' Trimmer

• An extra-wide 6-1/4" cutting base and an extended 14-1/2" ruler
  • The extra-wide cutting base provides a large work area and is marked in 1/4" (4 mm) increments, allowing for small measurements. 
  • The right-side grid helps you measure and cut very thin strips.
  • The extended cutting arm has a stabilizing leg to provide a sturdy and steady cutting surface for longer cuts. 
  • When fully extended, the extended cutting arm sits flush with the trimmer base, providing more accurate and consistent measurements across the entire surface.
  • The cutting base and track include a full ruler, incorporating measurements down to 1/16" and grid lines that mark each quarter inch. 
  • All rulers and measurements on the base are printed under a plastic cover so your measurements won't wear off.
  • The base has nonskid feet, which keeps the Stampin' Trimmer securely in place on your work area.
• A full 12" cutting and scoring track
  • The extra-long cutting track has space at the top and bottom so you don't have to take the cutting and scoring blades out when you're not using them. 
  • The track gives you enough space to cut or score a full 12" (30.5 cm) without having to remove or switch out handles. 
  • The cutting track locks in place for secure storage or transport. 
  • The track includes an insertion point for cutting and scoring blade handles so you can easily insert handles into the cutting track.
• Specially designed handles and cutting track to ensure straight cuts
  • The hook on the scoring and cutting blade handles keeps the handles stable so the cuts are as straight as possible.
  • Handles come in two colors: dark for cutting, light for scoring. 
  • The precision tip on the cutting blade allows you to pinpoint precisely where you're cutting.
  • The point on the side of each handle shows you where the blade will cut, making it easy to see exactly where your cuts and scores will begin.
• Storage compartment under base
  • The storage compartment holds scoring and cutting tools such as a Bone Folder, Simply Scored Stylus, extra scoring and cutting blades, and even business cards. 
  • Separate compartments within the storage compartment keep your tools organized, and the clear cover makes it easy to see what you've stored.
• Product details: item 126889; $29.95
