{Stamp Designer Spotlight} Llama Tell You from Big Grins by Becca Cruger + Comment to Win

It's Wednesday once again and we've got another fun post. Throughout the month, the STAMPlorations girls will be back every week to share projects featuring newly released products. We're tying in these weekly posts with the current challenge -- and if you'd like to win $25 spending money, all you need to do is check back weekly and leave comments here on the blog and on the designers' blogs.

Today we're featuring Becca's latest stamp set, Llama Tell You, that she designed for her line, Big Grins by Becca Cruger. With this set, you can create a variety of cards for different occasions -- Valentine's, birthday, anniversary -- and even cards to tell someone how much you appreciate or love them.

Hello STAMPlorations Friends! The girls from the Inspiration Team are back showcasing stamps designed by our very own Shirley under her label The Bee's Knees.

This week and every week until the end of April, we are mixing things up a little. All our stamps, stencils and dies -excluding retiring stamps- are 10% off, no coupon needed.

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.

 

 

 

{Mixed Media Tutorial} Post-It Note Holder by MariLynn

I am going to show you how I made a post it note holder 

that is mixed media and has a vintage look.

February Challenge - Paint it Red

Hello STAMPlorations friends! Where did January go, eh? A big thank you to all of you who played along with us in our January challenges. Check back on the 15th to see if you are one of our winners.

(Note from Shery: I apologize to all of you who have been anxiously waiting for the December winners post. Things simply kept piling up the last few weeks (re: the latest is a toddler who came down with flu-like symptoms + a newborn who demands 25 hours from me every single day) that I just wasn't able to finish up that particular post. I'll combine the December and January winners in one post. Thank you for being patient and for your understanding!) 

And get ready for a whole lot of fabulous new products to be making their debut here in the next three months! But we also want to give you a heads' up that for the next few months things are going to be a bit different here on the blog.

You’ve probably heard that Ms STAMPlorations, Shery Russ, welcomed a daughter named “Winter” to the family in December. In order to give Shery a little time to catch her breath after giving birth and to adjust to daily life with two little ones in addition to running the store, we are going to take a little “Winter” break!

Rather than all of our normal monthly challenges, there will be just one challenge for you to join each month. You'll find it announced here on the 5th of the month. The challenge will have a theme and as long as you follow the theme, any type of project is welcome! Then, we’ll return to our regular programming in May ;)

Our theme for the February challenge is Paint it Red! What's that bring to mind? Hearts? How about coffee/tea and sweets? We'd love to see your creations using the color red or having a theme of love. Take a look at what some of the DT gals created.
