{COMING SOON!} 5 CUTplorations dies available to pre-order for up to 40% off!

Happy Friday, STAMP friends! August is just about over...and so is summer! Here's a little heads up on what's coming to the store soon.

We have 5 awesome dies coming to the store in October and we're making them available this early to pre-order at a sweet discount! If you love our dies (I know many of you do!), you'll want to grab these early.

Until September 22:

• Interested in just one or two of the dies? You can pre-order each set of dies at 25% off with the code PREORDER25
• Want all 5 sets of dies? You can pre-order the bundle at a whopping 40% off + free worldwide shipping with the code BUNDLE40

Pre-order at least TWO of these die sets and get 1 free CUTplorations die with a value of up to $12! Pre-order the bundle and get 2 free CUTplorations dies with a combined value of up to $25! Choose from our current catalog of dies and then simply let me know which die (or dies) you'd like to receive for free when you order. (If you forget, I'll remind you -- I always double-check on orders to make sure customers get their freebies whenever they qualify to receive them.)

Wanna know what's so awesome about these new dies? They're all based on suggestions by the STAMPgirls! I asked them what they'd like to see as dies, they gave tons of suggestions, and so I did my best to translate their ideas into actual products!

Basic A2 Panels Nesting Dies

A set of 9 dies for layering and matting, and whatever else you can think of. This is one versatile and must-have die set!

Skinny Sentiments

A big set (14  dies!) of DT-suggested go-to words in skinny letters + backing.

Everyday Sentiments

A set of 6 sentiments in a happy, swirly font style...and they're perfectly sized for A2 cards!

Gratitude Trees

A set of 3 mod-style trees...each design comes with solid and outline versions -- perfect for layering or creating shakers!

Christmas Sentiments

A set of 4 Christmas sentiments in a scripty font style perfect for creating A2 holiday cards.

The STAMPgirls will be showcasing these dies several weeks from now so watch out for our special posts. Which die set is your favorite?

{Inspiration Project Post #231}

Hello STAMPlorations friends! It is Tuesday and time for our weekly Inspiration Post.

Before we get to today's projects, we would like to say goodbye to Cornelia who will share her last project as member of our STAMP team. Life at times takes us in different directions and Cornelia has decided that it is time for her to step down.

I think, I'm speaking for everyone of us when I say: Cornelia, we will miss you and your beautifully colorful creations. We wish you all the best and hope to see you around in blogland.

Speaking of colorful creations, the Inspiration girls have certainly gone to town using color to showcase stamps and stencils of their choice.

We'll still randomly draw a winner from all the comments left on our Inspiration posts, have a look and leave a comment for your entry to win a $10 gift certificate.

{Spotlight Project} Maria Stencils Background Interest

Hello there STAMP friends! Since I was having lots of ink blending/stenciling fun recently on my blog, I decided to share one good trick in this Spotlight project.

{Special Post} Karola Creates a Card Kit with Clear Stickers

Hi crafty peeps! Karola here today to share a fun way to use the new STAMPlorations Clear Stickers to create a customisable card kit. Each card comes with a strip for the sentiment, as well as sentiments from the Just Everyday Greetings Clear Stickers (during August you get 30% off the Clear Stickers!). The strips for the sentiments have not been adhered to the cards. Therefore, it's easy for the recipient of the kit to adhere the most suitable sentiment for their needs, trim off the excess sticker and adhere the strip to the card using the double-sided tape I added to the back of the strips. Alternatively, the stickers can be attached directly to the cards. How fun is that?!?
