After thirteen years, I'm sad to announce that my digital store is closing.
The rise of A.I. and an increase in digital content creators mean that digital stores like mine are no longer viable. But don't worry, I won't be disappearing! Instead, I'll be focusing on expanding and improving my line of physical products, including new clear stamps, cutting dies, and patterned papers.
So What's Changing?
- No new digital stamps
- No monthly challenges
And What's Continuing?
- Regular card making and paper craft tutorials
- The freebie library will remain
- The A-Z of card folds will remain
- New physical products will be regularly released
- Monthly newsletters will continue
- The November Month of Holiday Cards Challenge will continue (with some changes)
When Is It Happening?
There will be no new digital stamps and no monthly challenges from the start of 2025.
The digital store will permanently close at the end of June 2025, giving people the opportunity to use up any remaining store credit.
One of the saddest changes will be the retirement of my wonderful team of designers, many of whom have worked with me for years. I would like to publicly express my sincere gratitude for the amazing cards and projects they have created, the kind words they've shared, and the encouragement, feedback, suggestions, and observations they've made behind the scenes. It's been an absolute pleasure.

Beccys this is such a sad start to 2025 seems you are not alone
I understand and seems that the crafting world is getting smaller each year. Here in the UK the cost of postage has killed a lot of cards making. wishing you a Happy New Year and continued success in your store
Beccy, even though I knew this news would be coming, to see it in writing makes it real!! I have loved your digital images for over a decade, and am honored to have serve as one of your Contributors for the last six years. You will be missed!! (PS- I'm happy you're planning to continue the November Holiday Challenge since it serves as an "official" start of holiday season for many people who live all across the globe!)
Hi Beccy, Thank you for my lovely email, it was a lovely surprise this morning! I look forward to seeing more of your stamps instore and was lucky enough to receive some for Christmas. I enjoy using your uniquely Australian stamps and sentiments and having the coloured versions included has made recovery from injuries easier. Happy New Year!... Megan
So sad for the digital news, SUPER EXCITED for your future filled with stamps, dies and patterned papers - GOOD LUCK Beccy!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH for all the WONDERFUL designs and tutorials you have shared over the years, looking forward to being INSPIRED in 2025 and continuing CREATIVE ADVENTURES with you :)
This is so sad to hear! Digital images are the only ones available with postal charges now days... But I wish you a Happy New Year 2025 and success.
Happy New Year dear Beccy, to you and all your loved ones 🥂
What sad news to start the new year like this Beccy.
I understand but I will miss your nice digital pictures and the monthly challenges are also a big loss 🥲
Maybe you can do that sometimes with a nice freebie and there doesn't have to be a prize attached to it 💡
Very nice to read that the party challenge in November will return 🥳
I wish you a lot of success with everything you are going to do and want to thank you very much for all your creativity and kind words♥️♥️
Happy New Year Beccy.
Of course I knew since a while of your decision. But it's very sad and I was always looking forward to the moment I got an e-mail with your newest creations, then thinking what I should make with the images 😉
It was an honour to be a member of your design team. Thanks for it all.
Good luck with your new start-up.

So sad that you have to close your digital store, but quite understable. Glad some things are continuing.
Wishing you a prosperous 2025.

Hi Baccy, it's sad to read this difficult choice of yours to close, thank you for all your efforts over the years for donating fabulous images and for spreading so much creativity. I will continue to follow you because you are special and I wish you a new beginning, a hug Taty
I know this must have been a difficult decision for you, Beccy, but I am totally devastated by the news that the digi images are ending. How sad for those of us who loved what you created. I'm so glad I have a large collection already. :-D
ohh, I am so sad to read this but I totally understand.
I wish you a lot of success and we will see you in the blogland.
I am looking forward to November challenge and thank you so much for all the freebies and the card folds tutorials!
Happy New Year and crafty hugs to all xx
Wow, Beccy I'm sorry to read of this... I've favourite cards made from your digis, I'll miss them appearing.
I've never found your real stamps available when I have looked before but at least I've a reliable file of your digis and will buy some more before June as think i may have some credit from a friend's gift voucher.
I look forward to seeing what's changing in 2025.
May God bless you in these changes, and bless us all in 2025.
Prayer hugs 🙏🏻🤗

So sorry to hear that Beccy, but I am glad that you will still be designing stamp and die sets.
I'm sad to be reading this but it is understandable. I have really enjoyed your November Challenge and am pleased that you are going to continue it as it is a lot of fun. I will miss your monthly challenges which I always try to use the monthly image as well as the twists to keep my brain active. Thank you for all your generosity over the years with images and easy to follow tutorials. I am pleased to see that you will be continuing with the tutorials. Best wishes to you and all your Design Team Members for a wonderful 2025.
I'm so sorry to hear this, but I really do not understand, because the world is so huge and it's place for everbody in it. Of course , you know better what you have to do. I hope in better times.
I wish you health and inspiration to do what you have to do!
Hugs, Beccy! ❤️😘
This is so sad Beccy. I just love your work and enjoy using the images. I wish it was feasible to order the stamps or they were available here in the US. Thank you for all you've done all these years. You are the best!
I'm so sorry to hear you are closing your digital store. Your Holiday Card challenge was the first I ever entered. Thank you so much for the beautiful digital images. I know I'll continue to use them. I'll be following along for continued tutorials and I always use your card fold library to jump start creativity. Best Wishes and Happy New Year!
So sad and sorry to read this also glad your still going to be around Happy New year and a New start all the very best
I am sorry to read that the digital store is closing and there will be no more challenges. I have hundreds of rubber stamps and clear stamps but can't use them any more due to my sore hands. Also I loved using your coloured digi stamps as I can't see to colour.
I wish you all the best.
Happy New Year.
Beccy for you also an happy and healty 2025. So sad I read this but I understand. Glad to read that the November challenge returns. Wish you good luck.
