Today I have a couple more Ahoy Matey cards to share. You can see the first two cards that I shared on Flashback Friday HERE.

For these two cards I used glossy card stock again for my stamping. All the images are colored in with markers and an aqua painter. I used Crumb Cake as my base to look like sand. I added the map wheel behind the focal image because every pirate needs a map! Such a fun set to stamp with. I have a feeling you will see more cards on my blog from this set in the future!

Come back tomorrow for the Monday Lunchtime Sketch challenge!!

If it doesn't move...stamp it!!!

Designer Type Photo-polymer Stamp Set

We've searched long and hard for just the right material to be able to
introduce completely clear stamping. And we've found it. We're excited
to announce that we now have wood-mount, clear-mount AND photo-polymer
stamps! The new photo-polymer will be an addition to our stamp line and
will appeal to all types of stampers. Our top-quality photo-polymer has
just enough give to create a perfectly stamped image every time and with
the introduction of our firm-foam pads, let's just say they're meant
for each other! Photo-polymer stamps will also be unique, fun designs
that will inspire you and provide more versatile options you may not see
in our traditional wood- and clear-mount stamp options.

What makes them so great?

They're entirely transparent for perfect placement every time!

They are durable. The photopolymer material is designed to last.

They are pliable. Want your arrow to shoot a certain way? No
problem! Want your banner to have the perfect sag? Easy peasy! Being
able to play with the shape gives you even more creative freedom.

Can you say sticky? (Don't worry; in a good way.) These stamps stick amazingly well to our clear blocks.

They're age tested. They won't yellow or cloud up over time.

We could go on, but we'll let you try them for yourself.

They are clearly a great choice.

I'll help you to escape your life with some paper fun.

I come in a sweet box, but you'll really love what you find on the
inside:

All the stamps, ink, paper, and accessories to create fantastic
projects. Create stuff like cards, journals, décor, and more!

Paper Pumpkin by Stampin' Up! is a new monthly kit program that anyone

as your Demonstrator. Every month a new, surprise project kit arrives at
your doorstep. Just think of the anticipation of creating a fun project to
pin, showoff, and share with your friends and family-every month!

Here's the nitty gritty:

Each
month Stampin’ Up! will send you a unique, surprise kit with
project-cards, journals, décor, and more! (they've even
color-coordinated, measured, and cut everything for you!)

Each
kit includes stamps, ink, paper, and accessories-everything but
adhesive.

Each
kit gives you a 30-minute creativity escape.

Stampin’
Up! will ship your Paper Pumpkin on or around the 15th of the
month.

You
need to sign up for a kit by the 10th of the month to get that month's
kit. If you sign up on the 11th of the month, your first kit will come
the next month. (Let's say you sign up on May 10th, they'll send your
kit around May 15th. If you sign up on May 11th, they'll send your
first kit around June 15th.)

A
Paper Pumpkin membership is $19.95 per month (and shipping is
included!)

There's
no commitment, you can cancel your monthly Paper Pumpkin at anytime.
You can also skip a month if you want.

As
part of Stampin' Ups! 25-year anniversary celebration, they're
bringing back some of their favorite stamp images from the last quarter
century and combining them into 12 sets, which will be released - one
set per month - during 2013. Even better, along with some great
classic images, each "Best of" set will also include a never before
seen image! Check back each month to see the new Best of stamp sets.
Some things to remember:

All Best of stamp sets will include 3-5 images, including a never-before seen image, and will be priced at $14.95.

theme each month), all of the Best of sets will be available until March 31, 2014.

All Best of stamp sets are available in Clear-Mount only.
