Grandma's Rocking Chair - September 15, 2013 - Another Thank You Photopolymer Stamp Set

Grandma's Rocking Chair Review - Another Thank You Photopolymer Stamp Set (133454, $13.95).

As most of my regulars know I have two favorite go to stamp sets - Lovely As A Tree and Teeny Tiny Wishes, I use other sets but these are the sets in a pinch I pull out. Well I now have to add another one.  I like the photopolymer stamps from Stampin' Up!.  I like how they stamp, how they feel and some of the sets that have come out so far. I don't sell a lot mainly because I believe they are not in the catalog and they are hard to find.  I have showed them a few times but they really aren't a go to set for my classes.  Well that is going to change.  I always need Thank You cards and a lot of my classes especially the technique classes we make Thank You Cards. I got the Another Thank you set a few weeks ago and really haven't played with it much.  But I needed to do a quick and easy thank You card so I grabbed it the other day and decided that the big thank you would be easy no embellishments just a quick card.

I have fallen in love with it.  Yes you will be seeing a lot more of this set.  I have now set it out on my work table and you will be seeing more of it.  If you don't have it, you really should get it, if you make Thank You Cards.  Big to small thank yous and I just love how they look, so many different styles.

So using the Big Thank You I am creating packs of Cards to sell at the craft fairs this year. Here is another one just different colors.

I will have a Video out on this one shortly since it is a Quick and Easy Card.  If you want a Set that is Versatile this will be one of them.  I know that it is only Thank You's but you really need it. 

 Don't forget the Mystery Hostess for this month.
