Create Indie Online Shop Update

When I designed our Potty Family 4''x6'' Stencil, not only do I love the potty people icon but I wanted it in a 4''x6'' size to perfectly fit with hybrid scrapbooking or project life sized cards. Quick scrapbooking is so trendy right now, you can mist, ink, paint and add mixed media flair to your cards. Due to the versatility of the size of the potty people you can add this icon to your cardmaking, scrapbook layouts, or other craft projects.

Our 4''x6'' Arrow Life Stamp set is all about using trendy arrows for your documenting projects, journaling or filler cards and scrapbook layouts. In this set you'll see varied size arrow images in different forms and sentiments to use when creating projects. My personal favorite is the camera arrow and the 1 inch circle arrow. This set is so versatile you will use this over and over to document your everyday memories. When I designed these I did make a spelling error on the bottom left sentiment "THE EVERDAY" which it should bet "THE EVERYDAY". Initially, we were planning on re-releasing this set in mid June, but have decided to delay the release until later this year. There will be a few more design changes in addition to fixing the spelling error. Right now on my online shop there is a huge discount on this set, just to liquidate them as soon as possible. When they sell out, it will be gone and later this year there will be a new redesigned set released. This is a great time to pick them up at a discount price. Our next release will be brand new stamps sets for you to enjoy. 

Arrow Life Stamp Set Has A Spelling Error - Sale $8.00

Honestly, I really can't believe just one day after the launch of our online store, we will be doing a major sale on our Arrow Life Stamp Set. The stamp set has an spelling error on it, it states "The Everday" instead of "The Everyday". Everything else is perfect just that specific stamp. I plan on redesigning and re-releasing it sometime mid- June, but for now I will be liquidating my current stock. Initially, I had a 20% off code for both the stamp set and stencil. I will still be honoring the Potty Family Stencil discount price at $4.00 (Ends May 26th) and Liquidating the Arrow Life Stamp Set at $8.00. This is your chance to get this stamp set and stencil at a great price. Thank you so much.

Scrapbook Stamping Basics: Black Ink Pads

Black ink is a staple in any stampers stash. I have about five black ink pads in my collection that can be purchased online, major craft stores, and local craft shops. Each ink pad are a bit different so they can be used with different mediums, which is wonderful. When you are stamping make sure your ink pad is nice and juicy, in the video my Brilliance ink did not come out stamped nice and bold like it usually does, so reink if needed before stamping. Honestly I love them all but for general stamping I love Versafine, a wonderful fast drying pigment ink . If you want a basic black with embossing properties and give a bold black look, Brilliance is awesome. Mixed Media, altering, and waterbased projects Stazon or Ranger Archival. Coloring with alcohol based markers, Memento Ink is perfect. Happy Stamping.
