Do you love the Distinktive (exclusive to Stampin' Up!) stamps?  They are so realistic!  If you've never tried them or love them already, you can get a new stamp set in the April Paper Pumpkin kit!  Subscribe by April 10 to get this kit!

Here is what Stampin' Up! has to say about Distinktive stamps:

• Distinktive stamps give you photo-realistic images with just one stamp.  They have a special texture that gives added depth and dimension in just one stamp.  (No two-step stamping--YAY!)
• These stamps are available only from Stampin' Up! and are made using a patent-pending process.
• Distinktive stamps are available in red rubber and photopolymer; Paper Pumpkin's April kit includes photopolymer stamps.
• Shop Distinktive stamps in the online store by searching "Distinktive" or love for the Distinktive icon in Stampin' Up! catalogs.

You can watch a video on Distinktive stamps here.

One tip I can give you for using these stamps--your ink pad should not be too "juicy".  If you aren't getting clear images, you can use a straight edge and clear some ink off to one side or you can try stamping-off to see if that works.  Have any problems or questions about these stamps?  I'll be happy to help!
