***********************************************************************************
Next up...Embossing!  We all love embossing, right?  I know many of my customers buy the Big Shot just so they can emboss.  Of course, that's a pretty big investment.  For those of you who haven't purchased a Big Shot yet, here's a more affordable way for you to emboss.


Sizzix Texture Boutique Embossing Machine



Stampin' Up has partnered with Sizzix and we are pleased to be able to offer a test run of the Texture Boutique Embossing Machine in our North American markets. There are only 4,000 available to be sold only while supplies last.

The Texture Boutique works with Textured Impressions Embossing Folders to transform ordinary cardstock, paper, metallic foil, or vellum into an embossed, textured masterpiece. This machine embosses only; it does not die cut.

'Tis the season of giving, and the Texture Boutique makes a wonderful gift for anyone who wants to create their own elegant embossed art. To help you with your gift-giving needs, we're offering a special value bundle that saves you $5.90. If you prefer, you can also purchase the Texture Boutique alone. Looking for stocking stuffers? Pick up some additional embossing folders.

Texture Boutique Bundle
$39.95 (a $45.85 value)
Includes:
  • Texture Boutique Embossing Machine, 1 Pair of Standard Embossing Pads, 1 Mylar Shim
  • Flower Garden Textured Impressions Embossing Folder-Stampin' Up! exclusive
  • Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder-Stampin' Up! exclusive
Texture Boutique Embossing Machine
$29.95

  • Texture Boutique Embossing Machine, 1 pair of Standard Embossing Pads, 1 Mylar Shim

 
***********************************************************************************

Ok, I have one more new product to share with you.  It's the NEW Stampin' Trimmer and it's finally available!  

Here are just a few of the reasons you will want this trimmer:
  • Remember how frustrating it was to try and cut regular-sized cards on the old paper trimmer? With the new trimmer, the base has been extended so you can make most of your common cuts and measurements without even extending the ruler!"
  • "So many features of this tool make it the best on the market. The precision tip on the cutting blade allows you to pinpoint precisely where you're cutting. The handle shows you exactly where the blade will cut, making it easy to see exactly where your cuts and scores will begin and end. And, with the specially-designed insertion point, the handles snap into the track easily without bending or bowing the track itself-which helps to keep the track straight and rigid."
  • "Have you ever thought you were getting a straight cut, but it turned out to be bowed? The new handles and cutting track are so stable, your cuts will be perfectly straight!"
  • "This tool is all about ease-the cutting track is longer than 12" making it so easy to cut or score a full sheet of cardstock without having to remove any of the blades!"
Here's a quick video with more information.

***********************************************************************************
Boy, that was a lot of information to take in all at once!  Be sure to visit my webiste for more information and to place your online orders!

Don't forget that it's not too late to schedule your own workshop or private class for the holidays.  There really isn't a better time to get together with your friends and family and enjoy some stamping!  Here are just a few holiday cards to inspire you.  These are the cards that we made this year at my Holiday Card Stamp-a-Stack.







Thanks for stopping by!

New Catalog Product Shares!



You've been asking...and now it's ready.  I have three different 2012-2013 NEW Product Share Offerings!

What better way to experience the 2012-2013 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog's new Designer Series Paper, Ribbon and Embellishments, than sharing the cost with others?  That's exactly what a product share is.  As you reserve your share, I save a spot for you.  Each share needs four (4) participants.  When a share fills up, I collect your payment, then order the product and split it up between the share participants and send it right to you.

To reserve a spot in my Product Shares, please EMAIL ME directly at hooversdamstamping@gmail.com.

Please include the following information in your email:
  1. Full Name

  4. Mailing address for non-local orders (United States addresses only)
Out-of-Town Shipping of Orders—Local Fort Wayne, IN, residents can make arrangements to pick up their orders.  Or, if you are out of the area, I can ship your orders Priority Mail at a cost of $5.15.  For multiple shares - contact me for a shipping quote (a Priority Mailing Envelope can hold quite a bit).
When your shares fill, I will email a Paypal (*) invoice to you to complete the payment process.  I will then place my order with Stampin' Up!  Upon it's arrival, I will sort, cut, wrap/assemble, package and mail. This can take upwards to 10 business days.
(*) I use Paypal for all my billing needs.  However, a paypal account is not required to make your payment.  Just an email address and credit or debit card is all you need.  When you receive my paypal invoice, you can choose to pay using your paypal account funds or by credit/debit card.  Just follow their SUPER EASY instructions to make your payment via the method that is most convenient for you.
