Magnetic Poetry Supports the Art of Words with

Three New Letter Stamps

 

MINNEAPOLIS (July 2006) – Scrapbooking and crafting is a new American art form.  As part of this phenomenon, Magnetic Poetry has introduced three new Words & Crafts Letter Stamps that give scrapbook and craft enthusiasts an even broader range for expressing themselves with words.

 

"In the paper arts, words and how they look are very important; the way words are selected, colored and arranged on the page has the power to shade or amplify the artwork's meaning," says Dave Kapell, inventor of Magnetic Poetry and its new Words & Crafts product line. "Magnetic Poetry has always been about making wordplay easy and fun, and Words & Crafts brings the same spirit to scrapbooking and paper arts. We provide simple word-based raw materials that ignite the artistıs imagination and help them to express themselves with language."

 

Magnetic Poetry's Words & Crafts line already provides an array of design options, with their popular Word Stamp Kits, Chipboard Words, Word Stickers, Word Beads and three Letter Stamp Kits, all in different font styles.  The three new Words & Crafts products, which arm scrapbook and craft enthusiasts with even more versatile, easy-to-use, and affordable options, are:

 

·      Big Letter Stamps-Lower Case:  Yup, we grow our letters extra big in these parts, perfect for making bold, brash statements in your scrapbooking or craft projects.  These 2-3/4" tall Letter Stamps are all lower case, and are made out of ¼" thick foam. The entire top of each stamp is mounted with magnet so you can pick them up using the metal-plated stamp block thatıs included, keeping your fingers clean and ink-free.  These are so much fun and easy to use again and again. Includes 43 lower case letters, numbers and punctuation. Suggested retail price is $29.95.
 

·      Big Letter Stamps-Upper Case:  Like the Big Letter Stamps - Lower Case ~ only with all 26 upper case letters.  A KEEPER! (see the power of those upper case letters?!).  These are also ideal for monograms.  Suggested retail price is $29.95.

 

·      Letter Stamp Kit-Smarty:  By popular demand, thanks to the hue and cry from scrapbookers everywhere, we're introducing our fourth Letter Stamp Kit ~ this one in a crisp, good-for-everything typeface we call Smarty.  Just like our other fonts, each letter stamp has its own handle, allowing super control and placement, all wrapped up in a box for easy storage.  The kit includes 67 upper and lower case letter, number and punctuation stamps (upper case are 5/8" tall), that are great for signs, handmade cards, invitations, gift wrap, scrapbooks, furniture, walls, well, just about anything you want to add words to!  Suggested retail price is $19.95.

Magnetic Poetry products are available at Paper Zone, and thousands of specialty retailers nationwide.  For more information, please visit www.wordsandcrafts.com or call 1/800-370-7697.
