{DAY ONE} August Stamp Spotlight Week - Birds of Paradise by Shirley




Hey there, STAMPlorations friends! Welcome to DAY 1 of the August Stamp Spotlight Week! We've released FOUR new stamp sets by Shirley, Becca, Deepti, and me, Shery. What's even more exciting is that the stamps come with coordinating CUTplorations dies!

We have been so busy here at the STAMPlorations HQ since June that instead of the usual stamp release hop for July, we're having the stamp spotlight week. 

So for the next four days, we'll be featuring one stamp set and coordinating dies and sharing projects made by the designer of the set. Then on the fifth day, the STAMPlorations girls in the Inspiration team will be sharing cards featuring the new stamps and dies -- as is customary, you can count on that to be one mega-inspiration blog hop post!

And what's a blog hop without prizes? We've several! And you have lots of chances to win if you leave comments every day :o)

  • ONE (1) commenter randomly drawn from our Facebook page will win a $15 gift certificate for herself and a $15 gift certificate for one friend she tags in her comment
  • ONE (1) commenter randomly drawn from all comments left on the STAMP blog and designers' blogs (Days 1 to 5 posts) will win a $20 gift certificate to the shop
  • ONE (1) commenter randomly drawn from all comments left on the STAMP blog and designers' blogs (Days 1 to 5 posts) will win her choice of stamp set + coordinating dies from the new release
  • Plus a few surprise prizes along the way
Commenting closes on Tuesday, August 16, with the winners announced on Thursday, August 18.

Starting off our stamp spotlight week is Shirley and a new bird set, BIRDS OF PARADISE and coordinating Birds of Paradise CUTplorations dies. How fun are these birds and the sentiments that go with them?
