2. Dove of Peace (p. 20) – The beauty of this stamp set isn’t just in the incredible desire to color it (watercoloring or markers). It’s the ability to use the dove beyond the Christmas season. Consider wedding, anniversary or sympathy cards. You can (carefully) cut this single stamp to separate the sentiment from the dove.

Hi Mary,
I just wanted to ask if Stampinup still sells Clear Envelopes 102619?
I love to use them on my cards.
Thanks,
Terri
We do, Terri. Still item #102619. They are on p. 149 of the annual catalog but so clear they are hard to see!
Oh, Robbye. I feel your pain. However, I think you can narrow your list by looking at bundles and/or products that work year round or at least run the distance of Halloween, autumn and winter/Christmas holidays! Good luck!
Great choices Mary, this catalog will have me stamping in the poor house, because I want EVERYTHING, lol.
Hi Carol: It does not have a matte finish. dries with a sheen.
So happy to see this fine tip glue product. It will alleviate a lot of fuss when gluing die cuts, I hope! Do you know if it dries a matte finish?
There’s a lot there . . . I totally agree, Miss Lora. Part of that is due to all money saving bundles in this catalog (it’s loaded). I don’t want to leave the 15% off the table!
Mary, you are so funny. ON your favorite things list it looks like you almost have everything on it that’s in the catalog. Just kidding.
There is a ton of very pretty items in the catalog.
Was stamping the Spooky from Among the Branches last night…having a hard time getting a good clean image consistently…any advice?
I find it makes a big difference to have something with a little “give” (desk blotter or piercing mat) below what you are stamping, especially with solid images and photopolymer stamps. Also, be sure your ink pads are nice and juicy. If the problem persists, it’s possible there is a defect. However, practice a few times on different surfaces. I’ll bet you find a solution!
“While supplies last.” Is this a new Stamping Up policy or a way to boost sales?
Good question, Carol. It’s neither at this point. However, I’m encouraging people to order quickly because this catalog and products are going to do very well and a back order situation can and will likely result. That can be very frustrating. Stampin’ Up! can only predict “demand” to the best of their ability.
I use my Stampin’ Mist. Perhaps I would get better results with something else. Any suggestions? The bottom line is that these archival inks stain my photopolymer stamps. Haven’t used them with red rubber yet. The staining doesn’t bother me (makes them easier to find if they go astray and even easier to see when stamping).
What kind of cleaner do you use with the new black and grey ink?
It’s always nice to see what you have chosen as your favorites. There are so many inspiring items in this catalog. Wish I had a money tree in the backyard so I could buy it all!!
My advice, hj, is to focus on the bundled products. There are cost savings (save 15%) and plenty of bang for the buck!
