Stampington & Company Gets Ready to Mingle Starting October 1st
One-of-a-kind new publication explores creative ways for bringing kindred spirits together for unforgettable soirees

Laguna Hills, CA, September 27, 2011 — From small and economical to big and lavish gatherings, you name it and Stampington & Company’s upcoming new publication, Mingle, will be likely to feature it! Set to launch in October 2011, the 144-page semiannual is bustling with stunning photography, engaging tales of romantic and sentimental soirees, unusual décor ideas, exclusive looks into intimate art retreats, and innovative tutorials on how to craft your own unique party memorabilia for guests.

“The initial concept for Mingle came about when we noticed that many individuals were taking the time to put together uniquely artistic gatherings in such stunning ways that we had to share them,” said Christen Olivarez, Stampington & Company’s Director of Publishing. “A lot of people are going through difficult times right now, and this magazine serves to remind us all that instead of getting caught up in the negativity, we need to actively celebrate the everyday.”

Readers can look forward to contributions from familiar artists like Rubyellen Bratcher and Shea Fragoso, as well as engaging features that include a church “mormal,” a unique spin on a girls’ night out, and an unforgettable 25 years of marriage celebration. Additionally, unique columns include Food in a Flash—sumptuous ways to present food without having to cook, and It’s In the Details—quick and easy artistic ideas to implement that boast awe-inspiring results!

“I’m a firm believer in the beauty of life, and putting together Mingle has been a true labor of love,” added Olivarez. “More than anything, the gatherings are presented as a means for inspiration rather than imitation. Our hope is that readers will see some of the creative details that go into these events and incorporate some of those ideas into their own celebrations and get-togethers!” The premiere issue will be available on newsstands or directly from Stampington & Company at www.stampington.com or by calling 1-877-STAMPER.
