Restock update

Hello there stamping friends!

I just received a few restock orders including:

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Tea Party

and new Mediveal collection that was released last weekend

The Greeting Farm Happy Day and more
The Bow Easy

Also, today is a new Wags 'n Whiskers Challenge. This week's challenge is:

Ribbon!! Add ribbon to you cards...such an easy challenge since we usually add ribbon to most cards anyway!

Here's my card using one of the newly release Digital Stamps...

This is Bubble Fun that I flipped so she is facing the other way, then printed onto watercolor paper. For the ribbon element, I used some May Arts Lavender Silk Ribbon!!

Don't forget that Sunday is the last day for the Easter Sale. Grab them while you can!!

I hope you have a lovely weekend!!

Welcome back to Stamp and Create.

It's time to show off some of the wonderful Design Team projects!!

But first, the very first Stamp Kit from The Greeting Farm is now available!! This kit was designed for both cards and scrapbooking and features the adorable Anya. This kit is in stock and available for delivery right away!!

Now here are some samples from the Design Team using some of the stamps on sale right now through the Easter Sale!

Jeanette

Jeanette used the wonderful new Mr and Mrs. Foxglove illustrated by Norma Fickel for Whiff of Joy. Other products she used are Lace with Ribbon (which she colored the ribbon with Copics...great idea), Basic Grey Wisteria DP, Basic Grey Buttons, and bow created with the Bow Easy.

Joy

Joy used the adorable Easter Anya! Other products used are: Basic Grey Origins DP, Orange Trellis Roses, Yellow Mini Roses, Net, and Big Scalloped Circles nestabilities (large and small). So cute!!

Chris

Chris created this card for the Midnight Madness Challenge this week in which Stamp and Create is the bonus sponsor. Make sure to come play along for a chance to win some prizes from the store!!

Chris used: Easter Blessings from Wags 'n Whiskers, Beaded Fringe Ribbon, and Flower Spacers 2.

Jeanette #2

Here's another card from Jeanette using 2 more Whiff of Joy Spring stamps from Norma Fickel...

Cover - Using Mother and Child

Inside - using Girl with Her Lamb
I love that cute fold!! Other products used: Basic Grey Lemonade DP, Prima roses, and Pink Twill ribbon

If you missed the announcement on Tuesday, Wags 'n Whiskers has now released the first two releases of images as digital stamps!! Check out this post for more information.

Speaking of Wags 'n Whiskers, we will have another challenge for you tomorrow. But there is still time to join in on the fun...Scallops: add scallops to your card! You can have the chance to win a free Wags 'n Whiskers stamp AND you can have the chance to be a Guest DT for one of our challenges if you add "DT" after your name when you like up your card!

Happy Stamping!

Wags 'n Whiskers Digital Stamps

Guess What?

That's right, Wags 'n Whiskers is now selling Digital Stamps of our first 2 releases!!

We are excited to announce that the 1st and 2nd release of Wags 'n Whiskers stamps are now also available in Digital format :-)

Enjoy the fun of "almost instant" gratification of digital stamping!! In addition to having no shipping fees and receiving your digital images within one day, you can also resize, flip, and alter digital images!! There are so many possibilities!!

And now all of the images from our first two releases are available in digital form!!

Still not sure what to do with Digital Stamps? How about incorporate them into a Digital Scrapbook Layout? Check out this layout I created with 100% digital items!!

Even the digital stamp was colored in photoshop. Here's a close up...

But the most common use of a digital stamp is to simply print it out, color it, and add it to a card.

Here's a card I created using the same colored digital image I created!!

I simply saved the image after I colored it in photoshop, printed it onto watercolor paper, then die cut it. The sketch is from Midnight Madness which is being sponsored by Stamp and Create.

Easter Spotlight Week 2

Wow! I was a bad girl last week and totally forgot to post the Spotlight cards on Thursday!! I'm sorry!

But here are some wonderful creations today from the awesome Design Team with samples of some of the stamps that are on the Easter Sale this week!

From Niki...

This is Bunny Blooms from High Hopes. I hate to say that he is already out of stock (he sold out quickly), but I love how Niki has used this "Easter" stamp for a "Get Well" card! Another High Hopes Bunny that would also be good for a card like this would be Bunny with Tulip. But this really shows you how these stamps can be used all year round.

Next is Jeanette...

She created this wonderful card using Just for You by Wags 'n Whiskers Rubber Stamps (did you know this stamp was designed after my son? And, no, I am not the artist...I can't draw)!! I love the dotted background she created.

This image wasn't necessarily designed just for Easter. We released it with the Spring release, but it would make a wonderful Mother's Day card for mom or grandma or even a great Thank you card for a teacher.

And the last sample for the sale is from Chris

Chris did a wonderful job paper piecing using Happy Day from Wags 'n Whiskers. She used the new Basic Grey Kioshi DP, Eyelet Lace, and Primas. Gorgeous!!

The Easter Sale will run through early Monday morning or while supplies lasts.

Other news...

Happy Stamping!

Now, there seems to be an issue linking if you don't have a blog. I thought linking this blog would work, but it won't allow multiple links with the same blog. BUT it looks like you can enter your email address instead of a blog address.

So, if you don't have a blog, please enter your email address in the URL spot. Hopefully that works this time.
