Stamps

Paperworks Co and I have collaborated on another collection of stamps. These ones are just perfect for summer! There was a fun blog hop over at Paperworks that you can follow to see lots of card examples using these stamps. There are some really adorable cards – you have to check them out :) Let me know what you think of this collection!

I’m in awe of the beautiful cards I’ve being seeing lately. There are some seriously talented crafters out there! Check out the cute little mouse bursting out of the card pictured above? SO adorable! I put a few more examples of the amazing cards I’ve being seeing lately with my new Paperworks stamp collection. If you’ve designed a card with one of my new Paperworks stamps, I’d love for you to link to it in the comments of this post. I’d also love to hear which is your favorite stamp of this new collection and any ideas you have for future designs. I’ve asked for feedback before and I write down each and every idea you pass my way… I always appreciate the feedback.

And of course I want to credit these amazing artists for their cards (clockwise from top left):

YAY FOR NEW STAMPS!! It’s been a while since I’ve designed any stamps but I’m happy to announce that I’ve been working with Paperworks Co to release a couple of brand new sets of rubber stamps! We worked on a birthday collection and a spring collection. I think my favorite one is of the ducklings in the rain (pictured above) but I’m so happy with all four designs. You can view them the full collection HERE. Paperworks Co and I are hoping to release some more designs in the future so I’d love to hear your thoughts on these new releases and I welcome any feedback on ideas for future collections. Hope you like them!

I celebrated 2 years of blogging last Saturday and can’t believe how my career has evolved since the beginning. Starting this blog has brought forth many new work opportunities, along with many new friends :) One of these work opportunities has been designing stamps. I’ve released a fair amount of designs in the past year and am so happy with their great success. Lily and Milo have been wonderfully welcomed into the stamping world.

This brings me to introducing you to a potential new stamp character – Abigail. She is older than Lily and Milo and brings a bit of style and sophistication to the table :) I am interested to hear your thoughts of her. What do you think of having an older character? What are some things you’d like to see her doing? I’m gearing up to work on a new collection so this is your chance to get your ideas out there!

Thanks for taking the time to stop by :)

Stampavie and I are trying out a new style of stamp that will be released very soon! I’ve posted one of the examples here. At first glance, it may appear very similar to my other stamps but the lines of this stamp are more free-flowing and natural. I’ve been experimenting with my line quality and feel that I’ve acheived a stamp outline that is much truer to my illustrating style. I love my work being free, light, and uncontrolled and I think that I’ve come close to acheiving that in my stamps. There are only a couple designs released for now to see how everyone likes them :) The stamps can’t be purchased yet, but I’d love to hear your feedback on what you think of the ‘new style’ and whether you think you’ll prefer this to my original style. I am still planning on releasing designs in the original style but thought it might be fun to spice things up a little!

You can view all the new stamp releases here. I’ve also created some fun accessory stamps in my original style. There is a birthday theme, garden theme, and more! Now you’ll be able to mix and match the stamps and create scenes. Let me know what you think of the accessories :)

On another note, Isaac is turning 1 in under 2 months and I have some birthday planning to do! I can’t believe he’s almost a year. Any suggestions for a 1st birthday party theme?
