New Punches coming soon…

Hi Everyone - 

I hope you are all in the Christmas Spirit – enjoying preparing for your family and friends this Holiday Season.

I know I haven't posted in a few days.  I have been busy doing some Christmas shopping, baking, and decorating!  My mom and I bake together every year and this year we did two full days – 7:30am to well after 9pm!  Oh what fun we had.  We make over 20 different kinds of cookies!  Than I like to make caramel popcorn, toffee, and my daughters favorite petite fours. 

Stampin' News ~

I have to tell you I just love the new stamps and punches in the Occasions Mini and Sale-a-bration Mini Catalogs.  SO much.   You are going to fall in love with all of it.

If you are a customer of mine you will be receiving your Minis in the mail any day now!

If you are not a customer but would like to receive a copy of these new Minis – please Email me at: annette@ink-paper-scissors-rock.com your address and I will send you a copy.

You will love the new punches that are coming out on Jan 5th!

I have been having fun playing with mine the last few days!

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!
A few features of the new punch style:

• Low-profile, rectangular punch body allows for easier stacking and storing
  
• Punches lock shut for easier storage and transport
  
• Dual labels on top and end allow for easy identification and selection when stored
  
• Available in three sizes: small, medium, and extra-large
  
• New punches allow for larger punched images and more intricate designs while providing greater ease of use.
  
  • Extra -large punch images also allow for two-step designs like the Two-Step Bird punch in the Occasions Mini Catalog
    
• Corner punches allow you to punch a corner design along the inside edges of a page, not just corners
  
• larger, whole-hand handle design provides better leverage for easier use
  
• Available in an exclusive Stampin' Up! color
  

Part of Stampin' Up!'s commitment to providing demonstrators and customers with the very best crafting tools includes the belief in what they call continuous improvement.

Essentially what this means is that even if something works very well, but they see a chance to improve it, they will work to make it even better. While new punch designs will be in the new body style, existing designs will remain in the existing body style for now. 

Again:  if you are a customer of mine your Mini catalogs are on their way to you.
