Stampin' Up! Wants Your Ideas!

Stampin' Up! has created a way for you to help them design and choose new stamp sets--In with You (beta program). The In with You program is currently open to anyone (demonstrators, customers, etc.) in the United States and Canada, including District of Columbia, APO/FPO, and Puerto Rico, but not Québec. So spread the word!

Once you join our In with You online community, you can submit your original artwork for stamp set challenges, vote and comment on other people's submissions, earn badges, and interact with others in the community. We will produce and sell one or more stamp sets from among the top-voted submissions in each challenge. Plus there are fabulous prizes for top designs.

Here's the scoop on the current challenge:

Contest dates: July 18-August 31, 2013
Submit ideas early so you have plenty of time to gather support for your work (you know--get your friends to vote for your design).

Contest theme: Illustrated Sayings, Plays on Words, Puns

Go ahead--wow us with your brilliance, make us laugh till we cry, show us just how witty you are. Send us one to five of your funniest, cleverest, and cutest illustrated puns, plays on words, or sayings.

Prizes*:
1st place: $200 US/$200 CAN Visa Gift Card
2nd place: $150 US/$150 CAN Visa Gift Card
3rd place: $100 US/$100 CAN Visa Gift Card
*Winners determined by number of votes.

Be sure to read the Submission Guidelines by clicking the link at the bottom of the page before submitting your designs.

Your images may be our next great stamp set! We can't wait to see your designs!

Items to note:

• While we encourage handwritten sayings, you may use fonts. If you use a font, please indicate which font you used.
• All sayings must be attributed to the correct source.
• Trademarked sayings may prevent us from creating your stamp.

Coming Soon - Envelope Punch Board

Do you want yet another new product announcement from Convention?  How about if I told you that we will be getting an Envelope Punch Board that will allow you to quickly create your own envelopes in up to 66 different sizes?!?! How awesome is that?  I don't have an exact release date for this yet, but it will be soon.  Check out the picture above so see all the samples that were on display at Convention (I had to black out the actual board, which is where that black spot is in the center of the photo, as we are not allow to show the actual product yet).  As soon as I find out when this will be released, I will let you know, so stay tuned!

Thinlits Card Dies

Want another cool new product announcement from Convention?  Thinlit Card Dies are coming!  What are they and do you do with them, you ask? 

 

They've been called flip cards, flip flop cards, swing cards, and more-but they have always been a bit tricky to create. Not anymore! Our amazing new Thinlits Card Dies cut and score to create a card that flips in just one step.

Item	Description	Price
133479	Label Card Thinlits Die	$32.95
133480	Circle Card Thinlits Die	$32.95

Available August 1, 2013 These new card dies come with extra die pieces that have versatile designs, so you can use them on other projects, not just flip cards. (The Circle Card Thinlits Die comes with 10 total pieces; the Label Card Thinlits Die comes with nine total pieces.)

With the number of dies you're getting, plus the die that creates the card itself, the price is a great value-especially to create an interactive card!

• These Thinlits Card Dies will be available at least through the 2013-2014 catalog year! 
• The main shape in the cards (circle and label) can work with a lot of our stamp images so you can create tons of different kinds of cards using many different stamp sets. Here are just a few suggestions to get you started:

Label Card Thinlits Die (item 133479):

• Happy Day Stamp Set (item 130294 W item 130297 C)

Circle Card Thinlits Die (item 133480):

• Worth the Wait Stamp (item 131094 W)
• Five-Way Flower Stamp (item 131088 W)

Both card dies pair well with:

• Oh, Hello Stamp Set (item 131931 W item 130733 C)
• Yippee-Skippee! Stamp Set (item 131341 W item 131344 C)
• Really Good Greetings Stamp Set (item 130330 W item 130333 C)
• Regarding Dahlias Stamp Set (item 130324 W item 130327 C)
• These dies also work well with our new magnetic platform (item 130658) so you can place the dies exactly where you want them!
