What is Stampin' Up!?
Quality & Coordination.....
Stampin' Up! designs and manufactures an exclusive line
of decorative rubber and photopolymer stamp
sets and paper-crafting products for greeting cards, gift making, craft
projects, scrapbooking and home décor.
These products are showcased by enthusiastic demonstrators at in-home
parties and stamping events like workshops or classes.
Stampin' Up! is a 29-year old direct-sales company based
in Utah, Western United States, founded in 1988. Stampin' Up! products are not sold in stores,
but can be purchased through a network of independent contractors called
Stampin' Up! Demonstrators. Currently,
more than 40,000 Demonstrators throughout the United States, Canada, Europe,
Australia, and New Zealand teach the art of stamping and share their enthusiasm
for stamping, scrapbooking, and card making.
Stampin' Up! has been in New Zealand since 2007.
Every year, Stampin' Up! publishes its Annual Catalog,
the pages of which introduce new stamp sets and accessories. These accessories
- including papers, stamp pads, and markers - are offered in 40 core colors,
grouped into color collections, which takes the guess work out of making
beautiful cards and scrapbook pages and offers convenience and coordination to
customers and demonstrators. You'll also
find coordinating embellishments, such as ribbons, brads and other hardware
accessories to make paper crafting simpler, quicker, and more exciting.
But products aren't the only thing you'll find in the
over 180 pages that make up this fabulous resource. You'll also find fantastic
samples that you can use to create your own projects or inspire new ideas. The
Annual Catalogue is available from any Stampin' Up! Demonstrator and is also
online.
Ink Pads -
The Firm Foam pads are really juicy and you will not want to do any twisting or
mashing! In fact, the best method is to very lightly tap, tap the stamp on the
pad and stamp the project. You need not
apply pressure when inking the stamp and, in fact, doing so may result in
excessive ink on the stamp and/or your block.
A few other things I like about the new pads:
No
"dip" in the center of the pad - the pad will stay nice and flat and
won't dip or become "wavy".
Color coded
labels included with each ink pad - in four languages - for easy
identification.
A new glossy
label on the top of the pad that won't fade or chip off.
The ink has an
increased opacity for nice solid images and dries quickly.
Open ink pads with color coded labels for easy color
identification
HOT TIP: Use the extra labels! I cut the ends off of one
extra label and placed them on the inside of the pad. In doing so, with two or
more open ink pads sitting side by side, I can easily tell which color is
which. Have you almost (or actually) put a stamp in the wrong color pad? Yikes!
Cardstock and DSP
(Designer Series Paper)
When you pick up a piece of Stampin' Up! card stock,
you'll notice the exclusive colors, impressive weight of paper (80 lb.) and
that it's dyed all the way through so you won't get a white core when tearing.
You'll also love that our textured card stock has an exclusive pattern, comes
in the same great colors, and is acid and lignin free (just like our regular
card stock) so it's great for scrapbooking. Whisper White Thick cardstock is
110 lb. weight
Stampin' Up! has a large variety of
products that are based on four core color collections. This foundation
has taken the guesswork out of color coordinating your projects. Each color is organized into a collection, and each color within a collection is
designed to complement the other colors. Once you've selected your color
scheme, you have a full range of coordinating products from which to choose, as
well as an array of accessories and embellishments designed to enhance your
stamped projects. Products such as cardstock, ink pads, markers, ribbon,
brads, buttons and more, are offered in these exclusive Stampin' Up! colors.

With Stampin' Up!'s four color
collections and the In Colors, you are sure to find coordinating colors that
you'll love for every project.
Because of the
differences in computer and printer settings, the colors displayed might not
match the actual color of the product exactly. The color samples are
approximations meant to give you a general idea of the product color.
Other companines Stampin' Up! has joined with are Sizzix for our Big Shot and exlusive dies and embossing folders. As well as, Becky Higgins Project Life, again in exclusive kits.
We also offer a wide range of punches that coordinate with our stamps.
