Angel Policy Question
 

I had a quick question I hope someone can help me with. I understand that though the angel policy if you want to sell cards (say a craft fair or to friends) you have to have stamped on the back with one of the �made with love� stamps or the personalized stamps with stampin� up on them. Do the stamps have to be one out of a current catalog? Or can they be from ones that are retired?

It's my understanding that the angel policy covers all SU! stamps, retired or current.

Cool! Thanks a lot!

I could be mistaken, but I believe she is actually asking if the actual copyright stamp has to be in the current catalog (since both Handmade With Love sets are being retired this year).

I am not sure the answer, though, so I hope someone else knows since I am interested in the information as well. :)

Yes, the copyright ones......see, I knew there was a name for that...Lol...:)
Thanks.

:???: I'm not sure but wouldn't it make sense that as long as the stamps say Stampin' Up! on them it shouldn't matter if they are retired or not?

Don't worry, as long as it's a Stampin' Up! copyright stamp - you're covered! Doesn't matter whether it's one from 1988 or 2006 - SU is only concerned that their name is there.

You won't have to buy news ones. But I'll bet there'll be some cute ones coming out!!!

I emailed Demonstrator Support to find out.

Meantime, my thoughts are that the "Hand Made By" stamps, including the personalized ones are not dated [like (c) 1990-2006], so my GUESS is that just because they are not in the current catalog, it doesn't mean the copyright is invalid. The SU! Angel Policy itself also doesn't stipulate that it be in the current catalog.

Wouldn't that suck if we had to go back and restamp products for sell with a current copyright stamp?

We'll have to see what DS says!

Thanks for the official response! :) I would have expected that answer, but it's always better to be safe than sorry when it comes to copyright issues. :)
