I told you about the Kraft Note Cards & Envelopes (and, the box!) yesterday and I wanted to show you the cards that will be in the box using the Stylish Sketches stamp set and the Charming Sentiments stamp set for the sayings.

IMG_8321I used the Watercolor Pencils on page 126 in the annual catalog to color in the images.  Using these pencils with the Water Painters on page 129 allows the pigment to flow and create a great watercolored image (and, after all it is World Watercolor month!!!)  And ~ FREE WATERCOLOR CLASS in the Cat/Art Studio on Tuesday, July 26, anytime between 4 and 6 ~ let me know when you can join me!

Stylish Sketches

One of my favorites in the SALE-a-bration catty ~ Stylish Sketches stamp set ~

                                                    

 

This gift box, below, is included when you order the KRAFT NOTE CARDS & ENVELOPES / purrrfect for this set (page 137 AC).  For the box top I added the forest design DSP (RINGS OF LOVE, free during Sale-a-bration) layered on Tahitian Tide cardstock using the Deckled Rectangles Dies (page 170 AC).  The stamp set is free until the end of the month when you place an order of $50 or more.  Let me know if you are interested ~ text 757-641-9354 ~ or, if you have questions.  Tomorrow ~ the set of cards that I created with this stamp set ~ the combination makes a great gift!

I think Barb has been in love with hippos as long as I have known her and when this stamp set, HIPPEST HIPPOS, and dies appeared in the SALE-a-bration catalog she was over the top in love!!!  So happy this creative lady is part of my Stampin' Up! team ~ Southern Stars!

MAGNETIC CUTTING PLATE 

As you may know, we’ve been eagerly anticipating the relaunch of the Magnetic Cutting Plate for some time. After redesigning and rigorously testing the plate, we felt that we had a successful model for a relaunch of the product. Unfortunately, we’re now finding that with mass production, a defect in the manufacturing process is causing the plate layers to separate after use. This is not an issue we’ve experienced in the past and we are currently working with our manufacturer to determine its cause. 

After extensive additional testing (and fair amount of heartbreak), we’ve determined that the relaunched Magnetic Cutting Plate does not meet the standard of quality that we expect for our products. As a result, we have made the decision to turn this item off (effective immediately) for the foreseeable future. Additionally, we will be putting the development of our Mini Magnetic Cutting Plate on hold.

We stand by our offering of the highest quality products, so if you or your customers purchased the Magnetic Cutting Plate (item 161128), you will be issued a refund within 45 days, regardless of whether you’ve encountered issues with the product. If you ordered the Magnetic Cutting Plate but have not received it yet, you will still receive the product as well as a refund. Please do not contact Demonstrator Support for your refund, as it will be automatically issued to your original form of payment. If you paid for any orders on behalf of your customers, you are responsible for reimbursing those customers.

We share in your disappointment and frustration. Please do not try to repair or alter defective plates, as they may damage the machine. If you would like to improve the alignment of your open dies and stamps without a Magnetic Cutting Plate, you can use temporary adhesives such as washi tape, masking tape, or Post-it Notes to secure your die and paper together before running them through the machine. 

Thank you for your understanding and we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

 


The newest kit is the best remedy....

IMG_8325The BEST REMEDY CARD KIT arrived this week and I wanted you to see the cards in the kit ~ purrfect for anyone under the weather!  Nine cards, three cute designs that would easily make someone feel better.  The envelopes match the cards to suggest something fun inside.  The kit is $23 and the order number is #160171.  You can easily order in my online store (go back to last Friday's blog post for lots more information).
