Introducing our New Inspiration Team Champion!

I want to thank everyone who participated in my Inspiration Team Champion call! I appreciate your interest in working with Red Rubber Designs, but unfortunately, I could only choose one person.

I'd like to introduce you her to you now: Lynda Lindley, the new Inspiration Team Champion for Red Rubber Designs!


Meet Lynda:

Hi, I'm Lynda and I have been crafting for over twenty years; starting out first stamping and then expanding into all areas of paper crafting.  I currently live in Washington state with my husband, two daughters and one crazy smart dog.  I am a self proclaimed challenge junkie and don’t feel grounded unless I'm creating something.

When I'm not stamping, painting, beading, knitting, or scrapbooking, I can often be seen with inky fingers volunteering at my daughters' schools.  I am so excited to be part of the Red Rubber Design team as the Inspiration Team Champion.  I look forward to sharing my creations and inspiration with you.  You can find me online at http://positive-force.blogspot.com/


With Lynda's help, I'm looking forward to some fun, new challenges ahead for Red Rubber Designs!

New Cling Mounted Rubber Stamps for November

Have you noticed? There are some NEW cling mounted rubber stamps available now at Red Rubber Designs!

I've been slowly sneaking them in. These aren't just new CLING stamps (although there are some of those), but also brand NEW stamps released for the first time.

Over the next few weeks I'll continue to release more NEW stamps for Christmas. I know, it seems a little late - but better late than never! (I keep telling myself that!)

Since I ship really fast - the next business day (or sooner!) after you place your order - there is still plenty of time to purchase that perfect stamp for your Christmas cards, tags and gifts. And we all like happy mail!

There is also a new Big Deal in the store. Have you heard about our Big Deals? I usually have some sort of Big Deal going on, which are really good deals on select products: Our current Big Deal is 30% off of all Designer Patterned paper. This is in addition to the really low regular prices, and even includes our mini album and matchbook kits. And no coupon needed!

Here's a hint: If you ever want to know what our current Big Deal is, just check out the front page of the store. If there's a Deal in place (and there usually is), it's listed right there with a link to the products on sale.

Do you know that I'm still offering our Spotlight Stamps? Just like our Big Deal, I usually have a Spotlight Stamp in place. The Spotlight Stamp highlights one stamp in the store - and you can get it for 40% off, added to any order. The Spotlight Stamp changes when the Big Deal changes, so there's always something new.

And I can't leave you without reminding you that U.S. shipping is just $5 every day - and FREE for orders over $50! That's a good deal any way you look at it, especially since shipping costs continue to rise. Even Amazon has raised their free shipping threshold!

Some reminders:

The Red Rubber Designs Inspiration Team Champion Call (whew! Say that three times fast!) is still going on - deadline is November 10, so if you think you're a good fit (or know someone who is), don't delay applying!

Like digital stamps and papers? Visit our new digital store: Red Rubber Digitals. I try to put in new product each week, so keep checking back!

Have a good weekend, and don't stop stamping!


P.S. - Have you shared your Red Rubber Designs Wish List with the gift-givers in your life? You should!
