What's New in the 2013 Catalog?

This card made with the Sending My Love set was perfect for my photographer husband this Valentine's Day! It's not too late to get this great set -- see page 8 of the 2013 catalog (along with a cute sample to show just how versatile this set is!)

The brand new A|Muse Studio catalog is about to be unveiled! While you wait, here is a taste of what to expect:

Stamp Sets
1. 31 new stamps sets featuring a variety of art styles.

*New labels for ink pads will ship with ink orders as HQ transitions to the new color names. This will occur only with the remaining stock of inkpads to allow shrinkwrap to remain on these inkpads, which keeps the ink fresh.

2. 11 stamp sets with matching dies.

I will post some of the cards I have made in the last month, between house shopping and having a birthday of my own. Unfortunately, too many have been sympathy cards lately, but I also sent my dad a birthday card with a hand-stamped calendar (so he has something from his only daughter every month of this year!) and I will be sure to share that, as well!

Happy Stamping,
Christina
