Would you like some details? Stampin' Up! will have the option of Clear Mount Stamps! If you're wood stamp fan ....not a problem, you'll still have that option. But, why not give clear a try? Especially because when Stampin' Up! releases something it will be of quality. These are not clear stamps, they are clear mounted. This is the key to the product lasting & a clear image (that means no fuzzy image). Plus, they will be priced lower than their wood mount count counterparts (note - you will need to purchase the clear-mount blocks separately, but these can be used over and over again for all your stamp sets). Each clear mount stamp set comes in a DVD sized case, which takes up less storage space as well. I have preordered some of these and as soon as I can get my hands on them I'll share it with you. 
Next - Starting with the new 2010 Occasions Mini Catalog and continuing with all new punch designs going forward, Stampin' Up! has adopted a new body style for our punches! (See the picture to the right.)
