Whiff of Joy order and new ribbon update

Welcome back to Stamp and Create.

I received my Whiff of Joy order. The new City Girls illustrated by Elizabeth Bell are now in stock...

Also in stock are the new Whiff of Joy Blooming Spring Kits!! This kit includes 3 main characters, 3 accessory stamps, and 11 sentiments!! That is a huge deal!

Here is a card using one of the kit stamps designed by DT Jeanette Comerford...

Check out that gorgeous bow!! Made with some May Arts Silk Ribbon and the Bow Easy.

I am out of stock of the Bow Easy, but have 50 on order. Since they sold out so quickly into the sale this week, once the order arrives, I will put them back on sale for 4 days (since that is how many days we are missing on the sale).

Speaking of May Arts Ribbon, I received 2 new fabulous colors today that are perfect for your Spring Time or Easter projects...

This is the Lavender Silk Ribbon, I also have some new Celery color as well.

In addition, I received 3 Net textured ribbon...

These are great for your "masculine" type cards. Pair them with a sports image for an "outdoors" look.

Products on the way/stamp release information...

~ Whiff of Joy new Spring Gnomes illustrated by Norma Fickel will be released on Saturday. My order is already on the way!! I will load these stamps in the store on Saturday since I should be able to ship them by Tuesday.

~ Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps has a release on Sunday. I have to say that this could possibly be her best release yet!! I have the stamps in stock and ready to ship on Monday! I will load them to store on Sunday.

In the mean time, all of the Pirate release is back in stock.

~ Stampavie Pre-Order has been delayed. I am sorry to say that my stamps won't ship to me until at least the end of next week. It's hard for manufacturers to estimate the popularity of a release and this is no exception. All of the images are completely adorable so they will be well worth the wait. I promise, as soon as they arrive, I will ship them out to those who have pre-ordered.

~ Basic Grey order is on the way and scheduled to arrive on Monday. I have a few of the new Kioshi and Green at Heart papers included in that order.

Make sure to check back later for some more samples from the Design Team showcasing more of the ribbon on sale this week.

And don't forget about the Weekly Wednesday Candy here.

This next card was also made by me for the Midnight Madness challenge this week which is being sponsored by Stamp and Create. If you would like a chance to win more products from Stamp and Create, go play along with the awesome sketch!

Product Spotlight - Ribbon and Lace!

Welcome back to Stamp and Create!

It's time for another Product Spotlight of the Week. This week's Spotlight is: Ribbon and Lace...oh and let's just talk about the Bow Easy as well!

I carry a wide range of ribbon in the store from Luxurious Silk to Ruffle Ribbon to Satin Ribbon to Lace...all kinds of lace, too!
And the best thing to pair with these ribbons is the Bow Easy. It makes perfect bows every time!

So for this week, all ribbon, lace, fibers, and the Bow Easy is on sale for 25% off! (Limit 2 Bow Easy per order).

Here are a few projects by the awesome Design Team.

The first one is from the awesome Jeanette...

Jeanette's card features some Light Blue Silk Ribbon...oh is this ribbon not gorgeous?! And you HAVE to feel it!! Her card uses one of the images from the Whiff of Joy Store Kit that is now available for pre-order!! Did you know that these kits are ONLY available through wholesale stores (they are not available through the Whiff of Joy store)!! Her card also uses some of the Basic Grey Pearl Swirls. Such a stunning card!

This card was designed by the very talented Niki Estes... Niki used some of the White Silk Ribbon. I love the added button in the center! The papers are Basic Grey Bittersweet and the image is Dressed up Bunny from My heart Stamps for you. Niki also used one of the 5" paper doilies. Isn't this card such a cute girly card?!

Our last card today is by the super sweet Joy...

Joy has used some of the Ivory Crochet Ribbon by May Arts. I also carry this lace in Pink and White as well. Joy also used a Prima Trellis Rose and the image is Ruby from The Greeting Farm. This is another cute and sweet girly card!!

Speaking of The Greeting Farm, I received a restock order over the weekend which also included 2 older images: Princess Anya and Skakter Ian. Don't forget about last week's release images as well!!
