It's great to be 8!

This is an exciting day for A Muse!  Today marks an important milestone for A Muse as we celebrate our 8th year in business.  What started as a fun thing to do in my spare time has turned into so much more.  It has been an exciting eight years and there is much to celebrate.  

In honor of our eight year anniversary, I created a special limited edition clear stamp set called Classic Labels that we'd like you to have for FREE.  Please click here to read how to get your FREE 2009 Anniversary Clear Stamp Set.  

As you may know, I love Marvy scallop punches!  In fact, for a while, many of the stores we sell to called them A Muse punches. The A Muse Classic Labels clear stamp set is designed to work with my favorite Marvy punches and some EK Success punches too!  I will include a list below for your handy reference.

This set is so versatile that you will want to use it on every project.  I love that the set can feel retro/vintage - like the red and white labels my grandmother used on her jam jars.  Yet the clean and simple lines can also look hip & modern. 

 

Here are just a few ways that you can can use this set.

 

This simple card uses the larger oval and the Marvy Mega Scallop Oval punch.  I used a Colorbox Chalk Cateye for the oval and it stamped beautifully!

The A Muse Classic Labels set is also great for home & office organization!  My husband likes things to be ORGANIZED.  People often marvel that there are three children in our house because it is usually so tidy (that is my dh - not me!)  The only place you shouldn't look is in their bedrooms! LOL! 

I last organized our spice drawer about 8 years ago so it's been a while and things were not looking so pretty!  Here's a before photo for you.  You will notice some small round labels that are peeling off the jars.

Let's get started.

We've been saving Morton & Bassett spice jars for a while now.  The plan is to convert all of our spices to these jars over time.  It takes a loooooong time to empty a spice jar so this transition will take a while.  I didn't want the labels to peel so I grabbed my Xyron 250 because this adhesive has great sticking power - even on plastic!

 

Get your labels ready first and then feed them one at a time through the Xyron.  Be careful not to put them too close together or they will overlap. (See the third one from the bottom in the photo below.)

 

 

Here's a close up of the drawer with the new labels on the jars.

 

 

Just think about how much fun you will have organizing your craft room with this set!

 

Punch Companion list:
