Design Team Recommendations

Keron Lee recommends the Pink & Green Rub-ons. Keron used them recently to create some quick holiday tags.

Stamps by Amber Gibbs, including Clear Stamps

Two new clear stamp sets, one with fun arms, legs and hats for making your own dolls or jumping jacks. Or just adding a hat to a photo. And they're sized so you can mix with the images from the second, Wings Set.

Clear stamps are very flexible and behave like stamps mounted on EZmount foam (they temporarily stick to acrylic blocks by themselves) and you can see exactly where you're stamping because they're clear.

Also, three new single red rubber stamps (so they're available wood-mounted, unmounted, or trimmed on cling foam) and a few red rubber unmounted sheets.

 
Beautiful Christmas Papers

More holiday papers keep arriving and I'm adding them as fast as I can. The papers this week are really lovely.

- "Be Good" Die-Cut Tags. 12" x 12", double-sided cardstock. Great prints on tags and swirly designs.

- "Be Good" Sayings Strips. 12" x 12" double-sided sheets. Sweet holiday sayings... yes, you'll have to pick one side or the other, but at least the wide and narrow stripes are mirror-imaged on the back side.
