Hey, STAMPlorations friends! For the next 5 days, we will be partying here on the blog! We are celebrating STAMPlorations' 4th birthday! I'm still pinching myself at reaching this milestone. Our little stamp company continues to grow.  And oh boy, how it's growing -- we will be welcoming a new addition to our little family in December :o)

I've said this before but I'll say it again...STAMPlorations wouldn't have grown this much without our incredibly talented design team members and guest designers. They are responsible for helping spread the word out about what we offer -- after all, they put out amazingly beautiful projects nearly every single day. David and I are so very grateful to each one of them. I look back at their projects and it's evident that they poured their talents, creativity, and hearts out into creating their projects. I owe so much to them.

And I'm also so blessed to have crafters like you -- our regular blog readers, challenge players, and customers -- supporting a small business like STAMPlorations. Over the years, I have lost count of just how many wonderful experiences I've had dealing with fellow crafters. Thank you so much for your continued support.

And so we're here for 5 straight days to PARTY! Our birthday hop starts right now. From now until June 30, we're sharing projects featuring some of our new products -- lots of stamps and dies, because I sort of went a little crazy and before I knew it, there were more than 50 :o) Deepti designed some fabulous new large floral stamps in the Blossom Sprays series for her Dee's Artsy Impressions line and she inspired me to create the In Bloom series. Then taking my cue from some of Deepti's previously stamps and with her permission, I worked on a few of them and converted them into CUTplorations layering dies -- we've got cupcakes, balloons, and presents! And then there are the word stamps with matching CUTplorations word dies...I could go on and on about them. You'll just have to visit the store's New Release section and look at the projects the STAMP girls will be sharing throughout the week to see the new products in action.
