News

I'm very excited to share that I've signed up as a consultant for the brand-new A|Muse Studio! If you haven't heard, A|Muse has started selling their stamps, papers, inks, and more through catalogs and home parties. I decided to join at the beginning of the month when the announcement was made, and I'm SOOOOOO HAPPY with that decision!

After great anticipation, my kit arrived yesterday. Wowza! I'm not sure what I'm drooling over more - the paper, the ink, the stamps, the catalogs...okay maybe I can just drool over all of it! Let me tell you my initial reactions:

1. I ADORE the cardstock - super smooth & a great weight. so many gorgeous colors. love that one side of the sheet is colored and the other side is white - I'm picturing some fabulous white cards with a surprise burst of color when the recipient opens it up!

2. The ink - A|Muse Studio sells pigment ink in the same colors as the cardstock. It's wonderful to work with. Goes on so easily & stamps evenly!

3. The stamps - Stamp sets are mostly cling rubber - alphabets sets are clear. I think it's great that they're all ready to go - no adhering labels! I love how A|Muse included many classic favorites in sets and at great prices. Along with the new image sets, my wish list keeps getting longer.

4. One stop shopping - Remember when you started to stamp and wanted this product and this product but each was sold through a different retailer? A|Muse Studio carries many popular items - Copic markers, Nestabiliites dies, matching buttons, and more. I love how custom dies and matching stamp sets are available. I love how convenient this is.


I'm just started playing with my new goodies, so I'm sure this list will get longer! Here's one card that I made with the Vintage Amuse set. I think the sentiment is hysterical.



Hee hee! Isn't it the greatest! A|Muse has a wide variety of images. I definitely take a special liking to those stamps with silly sentiments. Must be my personality.

You can check out the A|Muse Studio catalog here. On April 1st, my web store with A|Muse will go live. I'll be adding the link soon. If you'd like to place an order with me, you can go through my web store (starting April 1st); or, if you can't wait until April 1st, please shoot me an email and I'll help you out. Also if you live near the western PA area, I'll be holding an A|Muse Open House. Let me know if you're interested & I'll send you out some more information.


I'll be sharing more A|Muse Studio information here on the ol' blog, and I'm working on creating a special section just for that. I'm so excited to start this journey and happy that I could share it with all of you!
