My New Partnership with STAMPAVIE!

This is such exciting news! STAMPAVIE has offered me a contract to work exclusively with them for all my future stamp designs.

I started this blog in November 2007 as a creative outlet and to meet other artists. The result of this blog has been beyond any of my expectations. Soon after making a few posts, I was approached by several stamp companies to start turning my illustrations into stamps. To be honest, when I first received these requests, I had no idea how big the stamping world really was - there are SO many of you out there! I didn’t know much at all, but I was happy to dive in - I’m always up for a new creative endeavor! The stamps ended up doing so well - thanks to all of you! I’m very flattered that you all like my work! It’s been so re-assuring to get all this positive feedback :o)

That brings us to today’s announcement. Over the past couple months, I’ve been working with several different stamp companies, but I truly believe it makes the most sense to centralize all my work with one company. This will give me more time to concentrate on the quality of ideas I create! By dedicating all my efforts to one company, I’ll have more time to create the cutest, most fun, and unique designs!

This move will also help eliminate any confusion on where to buy my stamps. All my new designs will now be available for wholesale purchase at STAMPAVIE (so you’ll hopefully end up seeing them in your favorite stamp stores soon after they’re released) and for retail purchase at Stamp-and-Scrap.com. STAMPAVIE ships stamps worldwide and any stamp store (online or brick & mortar) can carry my stamps. If you are a fan and want your favorite store to carry my collections, please send them a link to www.stampavie.com!

Anyway! I hope I haven’t bored you with my little announcement! It’s just very exciting for me to become more and more established as a stamp designer! I love seeing all the wonderful art you make with my designs. I’m also extremely open to your suggestions for my future collections. I’d love to hear what you’d like me to design. Animals? Bugs? Decorative elements? Cute kids? Babies? Flowers? I really appreciate all your comments and hope to keep you all very involved on my journey as a designer at STAMPAVIE.

Look forward to hearing all your feedback!

    It’s a wonderful announcment.. but I was already aware of that cause I was searching so hard on the web to find your stamps so I found out the stamp and scrap online store.. I am eager to buy some in next april …I really enjoy your work, you’re so talented!! Since you agree for us to show your image on our blog, i put a little one on mine. I wonder if you could draw a cat looking like your wonderful bunny.. i like the eclipse and the doodling.. that makes the line so soft and “naïf”.. anyway, I’ll be there to enjoy your images and for sure, to buy the new stamps.. I already got some to funky kits.. so congratulations to you and sorry for my english but I am a french canadian “stamper”.

    Congratulations!! Sounds like it is making your very happy!! Good for you. I just hope that USA starts selling them!!! Thanks for your wonderful creations and I look forward to seeing more of your adorable stamps…..

    That must be exciting! Did I read right that the next ones will be clear? I do hope they are photopolymer… it really does give the best impression and has the best longevity when it comes to clear stamps.

    Congratulations! You are very talented. I love your work.

    I would love to see more animals and bugs stamps in the future. They are so cute.

    bonjour,
    je ne sais pas si vous parlez le français…mais je laisse un commentaire moi aussi…je ne comprends pas tout (loin de là) en anglais, mais j’ai compris l’essentiel…votre plaisir de créer et de voir notre engouement pour vos tampons.
    Pour ma part, mes clients vont les adorer, j’en suis sure…
    j’organise dimanche 30 mars une méga cropping (environ 100 à 130 personnes) et je vais leur proposer vos créations…
    je vous donnerais des nouvelles de leur réactions que je suis sûre, très enthousiastes…

    A bientôt

    Rachelle, Congratulations! I’d like to suggest you do the bee and elephant images you’ve already posted. They are soo cute!



  12. March 28th, 2008 at 7:48 am

    That is awesome Rachelle! Congratulations! When with the stamps be available at Stamp-and-Scrap.com? When I went there and clicked on your name, no products came up. And will they ship to the US? I sure hope so!! As for what kind of stamp designs I’d like to see…maybe more animals, bugs, babies, flowers!! Whatever you come up with I know I’ll love!



  13. March 28th, 2008 at 8:19 am

    Thanks everyone! :o)
    You don’t know how much it means to me to receive all your wonderful support.

    Monica - the stamps should be available at stamp-and-scrap.com sometime in April. I’ll make an announcement on my blog once they’re available. And yes, they do ship to the US! Thanks for your feedback :o)



  14. March 28th, 2008 at 8:20 am

    Oh and thanks for all your design suggestions so far - I’m keeping track and will definitely refer to them when I’m doing my next collections. Keep ‘em coming!



  15. March 28th, 2008 at 10:12 am

    Congrats! That´s great news!!!
    I would love to see some animal-stamps too! I just LOVE your birds!!! :o) And I would love to see some flowers as well!
    Have a great weekend!



  16. March 28th, 2008 at 10:15 am

    Stephanie - Yes, the stamps will be made with the highest quality clear photopolymer. You’re right, they make the best impression!



  17. March 28th, 2008 at 10:23 am

    Congratulations Rachelle, can’t wait to see your stamps - your designs are wonderful. Would love to see a giraffe stamp - they make lovely baby cards. :)



  18. March 28th, 2008 at 11:50 am

    Great news! I don’t think it makes a difference for us stampers where we get your stamps, as long as we do!!

    I would love to see more animals and a few baby ones wouldn’t hurt either. I would looooove to get a stamp from the image of the cangaroo with the little ones in the pouch. I do love your elephants, bunnies, frogs and birds.

    I like your Lola stamps. My favourite is Lola with bird because of the movement in it. Just keep the stamps happy and we will certainly be. And keep using dots and other patterns to make the stamps more interesting and unique.

    THANKS FOR YOUR OUTSTANDING WORK!!!!

    Hi Rachelle,

    ooooh, these are so good news! Then we don’t have to search the whole web for your stamps. Scrap-and-Stamp is a really good store!

    I would really like you to design some bugs, flowers, maybe scenic elements (trees, clouds, etc.), a collection of your wonderful teddies and fairies and of course some fitting sayings beside all the kids. But I think the “must have” at this time is your cute little single ladybug *hihi*.

    Can’t wait to see your new ideas!

    Jay Jay

    I love your work. I would like more animal stamps. giraffes, I love giraffes, and elephants, and cute little cats. and babies.and moe boys, there are often more girls than boys to get. I probably will buy all of your stamps:)



  24. April 26th, 2008 at 7:11 pm

    Congratulations!

    Your designs are fabulous, well done you.

    My first order of your stamps arrived with me this morning, I am so excited and can’t wait to have a play with them.

    They look well packaged and professional looking and I must say I like the acrylic stamps for use.

    Got 7 of the new collection today and will no doubt get the other 5 in the collection next week!
