Stamp Pads!?

When I first saw that list of retiring stuff...I thought yikes!

All the stamp pads...huh!? When you look at the retired accessories list, you’ll note that all of our Stampin’ Pads are listed. Don't panic...........here's why:

1) Craft Stampin’ Pads will only be available in black and white from June 1st on and;
2) Stampin' Up! is introducing a new Firm Foam pad in our Classic Stampin’ Pads with the 2012-2013 annual catalog.
Introducing Firm Foam Stamp Pads!

These new Firm Foam Stamp pads (available June 1st), will change your stamping experience for the better. You're going to love these new Stampin' Pads-just look at all the exciting benefits listed below:
Firm Foam Pads will provide better ink coverage for your stamps!
Light-tap stamping produces flawless images!
Pad stays juicier for longer resulting in better ink pad longevity!
Have a crisply printed, glossy label on the top of the pad that is easier to read and that will not fade or chip off!
Come with colour name labels in all four languages (English, Spanish, French, and German)-just choose your language, peel it off the back, and add it to the side of the pad for easy identification!
Use the same patented flip-top case design that stores the inking surface upside down, so the pad surface stays moist!
Firm Foam Pads will be available in all colours, including our exclusive In Colors for 2012-2013!

So, I'm excited to get the new In Colours in the new revamped stamp pad style!

and looking at that list, I grabbed some things over the past couple days putting in orders of some of the great priced things (Rhinestone brads!)

The one thing I am really looking forward to receiving are the DVD's of the digital brushsets..(and I didn't even know about the page 7 bundles all through the year!) what great pricing and gotten even way better...

I'm not an avid digi girl yet, but I'm starting and at these prices, who can resist...

a couple of the bundles have great alphabets within them...have I shared with you how crazy I am for all things alphabet! [When I saw the Empire set was retiring, I thought, thank goodness I have it! and the Broadsheet Monograms]... Back to the digi talk...I love how you can change sizes and opacity of the images...so many possibilities (most of them unbeknownst to me LOL!).
