Today is our final day of previews and then, it's time for our release party!
I will be sending out more information about our party a little bit later so stay tuned! But first, we have two more FABULOUS stamp sets to preview!

Introducing Spring has Sprung by Rupa Shevde



Rupa has created the sweetest springtime images in this stamp set! This little duck would make the perfect "keep your chin up " card. He looks like he's having so much fun in his little flood!



I paper pieced the umbrella and added some Sakura Star Dust Pen to make the water and umbrella sparkle.



I love this sweet greeting. Although it's great for happy cards, it would also make a perfect little embellishment for a 8 X 8 scrapbook page or brag book.

You will love all of the other little critters in this set too. Their sweet faces and springtime settings will have you smiling from ear to ear! This set is a must-have for your collection!


Introducing Nana's Needlework and Nana's Needlework Sentiments

Nina has done it again with her newest stamp set and add-on set, Nana's Needlework and sentiments.



I instantly fell in love with every image in this set.

I asked Nina about her inspiration for one of my favorite images in the set, this basket of knitting supplies.

Nina told me that her Mother-in-law sent her daughter a Longaberger Basket filled with balls of yarn and knitting needles all the way to Croatia so her young daughter could learn to knit. Every time she walked by that beautiful overflowing basket, she thought, "that would make a pretty stamp." So she drew it.



I think many of us have that very basket and I love seeing my baskets overflowing with my favorite craft supplies. It's such a warm and cozy look. And check out one of the sentiments from the sentiments set!



From knitting needles to cross -stitching to a beautiful quilt, Nina included it to this needlework set making it the most complete set for anyone who loves fabric and yarn crafts. And she also made sure that the greetings would work for many different occasions so even your non-sewing friends will love the heartfelt feel of a card made with these images.

I decided to make my very own paper quilt using patterned papers from the new Cosmo Cricket Garden Variety Patterned Paper Pack that we will be adding into the store along with this new release. (We also have Material Girl and two new Basic Grey packs too!!)

A Video for You!
I made a little video for you to show you how I created my paper quilt. It's quick and easy. It you have tried sewing on card stock before, you have to! It's so much fun!
 
I created a sewing video series that is available for you to watch at StampTV. You will find all of the videos in that series near the bottom on the right hand side bar under "Watch More Episodes." It starts with taking the machine out of the box and leads you all the way to sewing your first stitches.



So, what do you think of tonight's previews?
