Shimmer paint on metal

Here is a quick, simple and cool gift to make. I found this metal dish in the clearence section one day and thought it has the unique features to stamp on using the Shimmer Paint. I used a small paint brush to apply a bit of platinum paint on my medallion stamp and stamped on the sides of the dish. To get an unpolished stamped image on to the surface, I found it easier to press the dish onto the stamp.

The good thing about shimmer paint is that it is applicable to most surfaces like fabric, wood, metal and many others. Once it's stamped, it's permanent! Of all multi-purpose ink that I've used, shimmer paint requires less work and it doesn't stain the stamp as much as other inks like Staz-On.  Most importantly, Stampin' Up! will not be retiring the shimmer paint in January.

SHIMMER PAINT WILL BE AVAILABLE AS CATALOGUE WRITE-IN 
Due to the popularity of our shimmer paint offered in the Mini Catalogue, we will continue to offer it as a catalogue write-in after the Holiday Mini sales period ends. Starting January 5, 2010, you can order the following products as catalogue write-ins:

116806	Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint	$8.95
116854	Frost White Shimmer Paint	$8.95
116807	Platinum Shimmer Paint	$8.95

New Stampin' Up! Punch Design from January 2010

Starting with the new 2010 Occasions Mini Catalogue and continuing with all new punch designs going forward, Stampin' Up! has adopted a new body style for our punches! The customer sales period begins January 5th, 2010.

A few features of the new punch style: 

•Low-profile, rectangular punch body allows for easier stacking and storing

•Punches lock shut for easier storage and transport

•Dual labels on top and end allow for easy identification and selection when stored

•Available in three sizes: small, medium, and extra-large

•New punches allow for larger punched images and more intricate designs while providing greater ease of use. 

     ◦Extra -large punch images also allow for two-step designs like the Two-Step Bird punch in the Occasions Mini Catalogue

•Corner punches allow you to punch a corner design along the inside edges of a page, not just corners

•Larger, whole-hand handle design provides better leverage for easier use

•Available in an exclusive Stampin' Up! color

Part of Stampin' Up!'s commitment to providing demonstrators and customers with the very best crafting tools includes the belief in what we call continuous improvement. Essentially what this means is that even if something works very well, but we see a chance to improve it, we will work to make it even better. While new punch designs will be in the new body style, existing designs will remain in the existing body style for now.
