What a Week!

This has been a horrible week for many of us. Between the Boston marathon bombing and a devastating explosion and fire in West, Texas and as I write this, a huge manhunt in the Boston area - it's been crazy! I don't know about you, but I've been glued to the news on television all week. My heart goes out to everyone affected by these events and I hope that all involved can heal and find peace.

As I mentioned in my Spring Cleaning post, Thursday is a big day here at Red Rubber Designs. Although I didn't get this post completed yesterday - just too much going on - I wanted to remind you to take a look at our newest offerings.

This week's Spotlight Stamp is "Light the Path". This stamp set features a collection of lighthouses and are perfect for creating cards and other projects for the men in your life.

We have new Featured Stamps, too. Every week I release new stamps and they are featured here so you don't miss them.

And don't forget about this week's Big Deal: 40% OFF individual acrylic blocks. Now's the time to get those block sizes you need!

I've also added some items to our Sale Page - you should check this page often, as you never know what will turn up here.

As always, all orders over $50 are shipped FREE and everything else is only $5 within the U.S. (See our Shipping Information page for details.) Some online stores have specials like this, but we offer it ALL the time!

This month's theme at Red Rubber Designs is "For Men Only". Here is a card I created and gave to my brother for his birthday:

I hope you are able to take a break for yourself and partake in some "stamp therapy" this weekend!

Spring Cleaning at Red Rubber Designs

Spring has finally sprung! Today we're having some of those April showers but I expect a very nice weekend with warmer temps which will be most welcome! I'm ready for Spring to show itself, aren't you?

I can't believe that Red Rubber Designs has celebrated its first birthday already and I'm so glad that you could celebrate with us. I had a great time with the fun sales and giveaway (a BIG congratulations to Helen Dooley, who won the Copic markers)! And while I said goodbye to my awesome Design Team of the past year, I am looking forward to what comes next.

Over the past month or so, I've eluded to some changes I'll be making here at Red Rubber Designs - changes that I hope you'll like!

As I continue with my "Spring cleaning" I wanted to let you know about a couple of changes that have taken place already:

  • Our monthly Big Deal is now a weekly sale. This is so exciting, because there will be a new BIG sale (savings of up to 40% OFF our already-low prices on select items!) every week, starting on Thursday evenings. Each weekly Big Deal runs through the next Wednesday. Then on Thursday I'll offer another Big Deal!
  • You may have already noticed this one - new stamps are released in the store every Thursday. And now each week, the newly-released stamps will be our Featured Stamps, so you can't miss them! Not only that, I'm also showcasing them on the front page of the store. Now it will be easier than ever to see what's new!
  • Be sure to check our New Arrivals link as well - this link shows you everything new in the store over the last two weeks. This gets updated every Thursday and not only features the newest stamp releases, but also new product releases.
  • And let's not forget our Spotlight Stamp! You guessed it - we'll have a new Spotlight Stamp every week! Our Spotlight Stamp is always 40% OFF the regular price when added to any order!
  • We still have our monthly theme, and you'll continue to see stamp designs that reflect our theme for the month. Our monthly theme can always be found on the front page of the store.
  • Even though shipping costs have risen considerably, I haven't change your cost for shipping within the U.S.:  Orders over $50 still ship FREE and everything else in the U.S. ships for only $5.00! (Please see our SHIPPING INFORMATION page for more details.)

Have you noticed? I seem to like THURSDAYS! So be sure to check the Red Rubber Designs store on Thursday evenings to find out the newest releases and sales! 

Note: Please don't be disappointed if you come by the store during the day on Thursdays and don't find anything new - that's when I'll be busy working on putting up the new information for you. Everything should be switched over to the new week's releases and sales by Thursday evening!

That's all for now... I hope you enjoy the changes I've made - I've love to hear from you! I've got some more awesome plans on the horizon. Be sure to follow our blog and our Facebook page so you'll be the first to know about them!
