Clear Mounts!

Stampin' Up! has just recently started offering Clear Mount stamps in addition to our regular wood mount stamps. Clear Mounts aren't new to the stamping/crafting world...in fact, many have wondered why Stampin' Up! has not offered these years ago? Well, SU always felt the stamped images from the clear stamps weren't up to the quality standards that they wanted, so they held off offering them. Well, now they've come up with a solution that everyone is happy about...SU is still using the traditional foam and rubber that you are accustomed to, but they are offering it with a vinyl cling backing (or sticker) so that it works with clear mounts.

Clear Mount sets come in a DVD sized storage case with all the images of the stamps on the front and sides of the insert. This makes it very easy to find what you are looking for and conserve space at the same time. The Clear Mount blocks come in nine different sizes and are 3/4" thick and have grooved sides. I am personally very new to the clear stamps, but I think I'm going to love them. At Sandie's workshop everyone raved about the Clear Mounts, and those ladies who had experience with other brands said Stampin' Up! definitely had higher quality blocks. Stampin' Up! always sells quality products so while I wasn't surprised to hear that, I was grateful to get the opinion of others who had used products from other companies. Most all the stamps in the Occasions Mini are offered in either clear or wood mount...oh, and did I mention, clear mount stamps are cheaper!! Yea...more stamps for the dollar...and they save space...more space for more stamps...what could be better?!?!
