New Photopolymer Stamp Sets

I am really excited about the new photopolymer stamp sets that SU! just released.  Photopolymer stamps are stamps that are completely clear.  They cling well to clear blocks for stamping and because it is completely clear it makes stamp placement on your project really simple.  Here are the two sets.  They  cost $13.95 each and can be ordered from my website.  Just click the button to the right to go directly to my website.

I can see using the US Map for playing the License Plate game when you travel.  Just stamp on a piece of paper and when you see a license plate from a different state color that state in.  This is our families favorite past time when traveling to see how many different states we can find.

Product Review:  Envelope Punch Board

Hi Stampers!

This morning I want to share a new product from Stampin' Up! with you.   How many times have you avoided making a different sized card from the standard 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" card just because you did not have an envelope to match it? The Envelope Punch board is a great tool for just that dilema.  There are measurements for making over 60 different sizes of envelopes with this product.  And it is not limited to just envelope making.  In fact, in my stamp club this year we are going to make adorable file folder cards using this board.  Here is a quick look at the Envelope Punch Board and a link to a video on You Tube that shows how it works.  You can order item # 133774 Envelope Punch Board for $19.95 on my business website:  www.lauricoons.stampinup.net.

Happy September Stampers!

In New England, September is the start of Fall.  We start to see the leaves turn and even may reach the peak of the Fall colors where I live, by the end of the month.  In fact "leaf peeping" is our favorite pass time.  It also can get quite chilly as just yesterday we were around 57 degrees for a high temperature.  Fall also marks the time that I love to change my color selections for the cards I am making.  I go from bright and bold to deep, rich, regal colors.  My cards tend to focus on themes of leaves, Thanksgiving, and a few sneaks of Christmas here and there.  So today I thought I would share a little of what I have taught in my stamp clubs over the years that used a Fall color theme.

This card is so much fun.  To the left is a  picture of the card closed.  when you pull on the tab the center comes up and reveals a hidden message as seen in the photo below.

If you like these cards then why not join our Stamp Club and learn some fun new ideas for stamping.  I have 3 spaces left for my club starting September 28th.  To learn more details about the club see my previous post.
