Our next official stamp release is in October, but before then, we'll have at least FIVE fun blog hops, including a CUTplorations Christmas release blog hop featuring two Christmas stamp sets with coordinating dies and 17 thin metal dies -- 15 of which are holiday-themed word dies! Yep, it'll be one fun hop with a flash diecut linky party where you could win a package of Christmas stamps and dies if you create and link up a project that features diecuts. And in case you're wondering -- CUTplorations dies are not required to participate; you can use whatever dies you have, as long as you create a project specifically for the CUTplorations flash diecut linky party! So get your stamps and dies ready because it all happens mid-September :o)

The STAMPlorations girls and I thank all of you for your support! Hope you're all having a wonderful week!
