As of this release, we will no longer include plastic alignment tools with our A Cut Above dies. Anything that is in our inventory that has plastic tools will be shipped with the tools until we run out, but we will not be re-ordering any tools or including them with our new dies.
Our manufacturer originally included these tools for free, but have since added a charge for each plastic piece, and I'd rather keep our costs affordable than have you pay for something that you could just as easily do without. The plastic tools are easy to lose and not as accurate as the new method I'm excited to show you, especially for the smaller, more intricate dies. I've been making my own die alignment templates from scratch paper for the past year and I think it is so much easier and more accurate. Here's my first ever video explaining this method along with a sneak peek of the Strong Anchor and the Nautical Die Set...
Okay, on with the reveals...
Strong Anchor is an $18 set of 12 nautical themed sentiments and images. I've been a long time fan of anything nautical, collecting lighthouses for many years and planning my dream retirement by the beach. I'm so excited to see the paper crafting industry trending on everything anchors lately! I couldn't wait to add my take on this fun theme and expand our masculine set offerings in the process. It's perfect for Father's Day, masculine birthdays and for anyone who's a guiding force or solid anchor in your life. And of course, it was the perfect excuse to put one of my favorite scripture verses into stamp form... Hebrews 6:19.
Production Note: We discovered a typo in the scripture reference on this set after the set had gone to production. I'm blaming it on two sweet little twin boys that are always stealing me away from the task at hand. {grin} Anyhow, our replacement stamps should be in-house early next week, so if you order this set, just know that it might be delayed a few days so we can include the corrected stamp.
Here's the sweet little CAS card I made in the video featuring Strong Anchor and the Nautical Die Set.
Our plain jane feature today is the Adjusted Sails plain
jane. Coordinating beautifully with Strong Anchor, I just love this quote and the hope and perseverance it symbolizes. I can't wait to add a page to my art journal with this stamp and I know I'll be using it for encouragement cards for some of the amazingly strong women who have crossed my path. This stamp measures 1.75" (w) x 2.25" (h) and will retail for $3.Stamp reads, "She stood in the storm, and when the wind did not blow her away, she adjusted her sails. - Edwards".
To finish off our nautical theme, we're releasing a Nautical Die Set that coordinates with the anchor and ship's wheel images in the Strong Anchor set. This die set will retail for $6.
All of the stamps, dies and ribbons featured this week will be available for purchase in the Verve Store on Friday, May 10.
Thanks so much for hopping with us today! Have a great day and we'll see you back here tomorrow for some more fresh new looks at VERVE!
