Will your Stampin’ Up! Painted Petals Photopolymer Stamp Set have 13 or 18 stamps? It was designed as a set of 13, as you can see from the stamp set box insert. But, there was a huge run in which two of the cluster stamps were separated into several.
The stamps with the pink arrows pointing to them is one stamp in the 13 piece set. The stamps with the blue arrows pointing to them are also one stamp in the 13 piece set. The two are designed to work together. There are benefits to the 13 piece set and benefits of the 18.
The stamps are all ready to be used together in the 13 piece set. With the 18 piece set, it will be easier to use them in different arrangements.
There is an easy solution to use the separate as originally designed as one stamp. Place the stamps on the coordinating image on the clear sheet flat side up. Press your clear-mount block down on them. You’ll then have the stamps mounted just like they were one stamp.
Will you get an 13 or 18 piece Painted Petals Photopolymer Stamp Set? There’s no way to predict when they will run out of the 18 piece sets from the huge run. When they do sell out of the 18 piece sets, the 13 piece sets will start being shipped.
The 13 vs. 18 piece sets are for the photopolymer only. The wood-mount and clear-mount are 13 piece stamp sets.
My customers that have received the 18 pieces Painted Petals Stamp Set have said they will enjoy the versatility.
If you prefer Painted Petals in photopolymer (I do!) and don’t care if you end up with a 13 or 18 piece stamp set, you can order it now in my online store. If it is important to you to get a 13 piece set, you’ll want to order it in wood-mount or clear-mount.
If you want the set in photopolymer and as a 13 piece set, you may just not want to order it. If I ever find out the 18 piece sets are completely sold out, I’ll post an update.
