Now, the bad news!!! Below is a quote from the Stampin’ Up! website.  I LOVELOVELOVE the watercolor crayons. I am proposing a moment of silence.

Quote from Stampin’ Up!:

“Due to unforeseen problems with our supplier for Watercolor Wonder Crayons and Watercolor Pencils, we have decided to discontinue these two products.

Watercolor Pencils (item 101879) and Watercolor Wonder Crayons Brights Collection (item 119804) will no longer be available, effective immediately.

Now for the good news! We still have the remaining collections of the Watercolor Wonder Crayons available to order. The Subtles (item 119802), Neutrals (item 119805), and Regals (item 119803) Collections are only available while supplies last. Get ‘em before they’re gone!”

So, stock up on the crayons–I know SU will replace them, and I hope in time for the new catalog. I don’t know that I can live without them.

Well, something that I didn’t ever think would happen! Stampin’ Up! has come out with a (likely one of many to come) photopoymer stamp set! This is a completely clear stamp mount… that you can see through the clear block. CLICK HERE to view a flyer with up-close details of the set.

Some benefits include:

• Top-quality photopolymer that gives a perfectly stamped image every time.
• They’re entirely transparent for perfect placement!
• 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.

Below is a ‘tongue in cheek’ quick video that at the very end shows the set quickly in use.

So, what do you think?
