February Releases

It's time for some brand new designs... both digital and clear! This month we've released two sets of brand new digital stamps, one new clear stamp set and one clear to digital format. That adds up to a whole lot of crafting, scrapbooking and card making!

Ooops!

FEBRUARY CHALLENGE POST HAS BEEN UPDATED

I have updated the February challenge post with a card sketch I prepared earlier... and promptly forgot! To keep things interesting I'll be adding an OPTIONAL twist to the monthly challenge for those who want some extra inspiration. Please accept my apologies for forgetting the very first one, hopefully I won't make it a habit.

To keep things interesting, I'll be adding an additional optional element to some of the monthly challenges. This month I've drawn up a quick card sketch for you to follow... interpret it however you like. Remember, it's an optional extra.

Digital Release: With All My Heart

This year, we'll be gradually releasing our line of clear stamps as digital sets. They'll be available in store alongside the other new releases for the month. For January, we're starting with a beautiful floral set called "With All My Heart". It's perfect for birthday cards, Mother's Day, friendship, weddings, anniversaries and Valentine's Day greetings.

Big Hugs

I coloured this little guy with pencils and layered him over lovely soft background papers. A simple button and length of twine finished my card nicely.

Snuggly Hugs

Is there anything better than a big squooshy hug? I imagine pandas would give some pretty impressive hugs if they were so inclined. All that fur would sure make them soft and cuddly!

New Release: Bear Hugs

Evelyn, a lovely lady from my stamping club, gave me the idea for the hugging bears in this set. She showed me a very old clipping from a newsletter she'd saved, which featured a sweet, cuddly bear snuggling up to a little child. I happened to see a few funny Panda gifs around the same time, and voila, a new digital set was born!

And here's some goodness from my clever designers...

Slugs & Snails

I'm planning to continue adding images to my catalogue as new stamps are released. Having everything coloured and in one place saves a lot of time and makes designing so much easier... no more rooting through baskets and folders to find the image you want!

Slugs & Kisses

Not sure that you'd want too many kisses from someone who drools as much as this!
Perhaps a hearty hand-shake would be more acceptable.

Squishy Hugs

I'm well on my way to building up a tidy stash of cards!

One Slug One Snail

I'm really enjoying these funny little characters and the coordinating sentiments.
Here's another couple of cards I created using two of the designs.
