{Spotlight Project} Cornelia Stamps with Dies

Hi, Cornelia here today showing you how you can stamp with your dies.

My STAMPlorations supplies:

Trendy Flower Dies, Hello Sunshine

{PREVIEW} April/May 2017 Stamp Club Set - TRENDY SPRING BLOOMS

Hey, STAMPlorations friends! It's time for the preview of the newest premium stamp club set: TRENDY SPRING BLOOMS. This set has floral images that can be layered with matching solid background floral shapes that I designed in my usual grungy style + 5 "thanks" sentiments in different languages (English, French, Spanish, German, and Italian). 

I took the set a little further and had the matching Trendy Spring Blooms CUTplorations die set made (sold separately and retails for $18). The good news is that the dies are free to premium stamp club subscribers who pick the Trendy Spring Blooms stamp set when their subscription renews :o)

You'll soon see the STAMPlorations girls feature Trendy Spring Blooms in their spotlight projects. However, here are a couple of cards I made with the Trendy Spring Blooms stamps and dies. For the extra grungy feel, I used Mixed Media Grunge, Mixed Media Elements, and Butterfly Row Artsy Border + the postage edge die from Art Edges/Borders.

TRENDY SPRING BLOOMS will be available to non-stamp club subscribers starting April 10. Right now, it's available only to current stamp club subscribers.

Want this stamp set now + the free matching dies at a great price and free shipping? Just sign up for the stamp club here. Stamp club subscribers get to enjoy lots of perks, including free shipping, free stamps and even free CUTplorations thin metal dies! :o)

On a budget? We've got three additional club plans: Gold Stamp Club Plan, Basic Stamp Club Plan, and Stencil Club Plan. All plans are bi-monthly, include personal discount codes, come with incentives for every 3rd time renewing, and get free worldwide shipping. There is a plan to suit a crafter's budget. For the complete info, check out the plans by clicking the graphic below.

If you're already a premium stamp club subscriber, thanks so much for your support! If your subscription is set to renew in the next week or so (or it has already renewed), you can pick Trendy Spring Blooms now + get the matching dies free.

Hope you're all having a wonderful week!

{Introducing} STAMPlorations Guest Designers for April-June & May-July 2017

Hey, STAMPlorations friends! Before the month ends, I'd like to welcome our third batch of talented ladies who are joining us as guest designers from April to June and May to July. Please give them a warm welcome. I am thrilled to have them as part of the STAMPlorations family!

{Inspiration Project Post #125}

Hello STAMPlorations Friends! Welcome Tuesday! This week the Inspiration girls are showcasing stamps designed by STAMPlorations owner Shery under her label Shery Russ Designs.

The Inspiration Girls have been busy creating a variety of projects using stamps, stencils and dies designed by Shery.

All of Shery's stamp sets will be on sale for the week - no coupon needed; the discount is automatically applied. And if you happen to have a coupon code, such as a personal discount code for being a stamp club subscriber, you can use the code to get an even better deal.

All of Shery's stamp sets will be reduced by 10% except for Big Greetings, a set of 5 bold outline sentiments with coordinating smaller words suitable for many occasions, which will be 20% off until April 3rd.

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