Stampendous Holiday Update

We are working very hard, just like Santa’s little elves, on our new products! We will be taking a short break from blogging projects to make sure this year’s stamps, stickers and essentials are really great! But do stay tuned to catch sneak peaks of all the exciting upcoming Stampendous goodies on our Facebook, Twitter and Blog!

Oh Christmas tree, my Christmas tree!

If you haven’t started making your Christmas gifts and decorations by now, you are cutting it awfully close. And we are here to help you with some last minute crafty ideas. Today’s project is a paper tree, by Pam Hornschu. It wood be absolutely perfect fir decorating the dining table! To get your Shape Shiftable Jumbo Tree into its original shape, line up the Perfectly Clear™ Stamp face down on the picture printed on its carrier sheet. Then lower your clear acrylic handle on to the stamp. It will adhere to the block in just the right shape. Then you can stamp them with sides adjoining to make this perfect tree. Use 3 trees for the top layer, 4 for the middle layer, and 5 for the bottom layer. Voila! A very cool bit of yule decor.

Stampendous Favorite Stampers: Wendy’s Winter Projects

We recently received some adorable samples from one of our newest Stampendous’ Favorite Stampers, Wendy Price. Wendy was one of the lucky Paper Craft Planet Design Team who hosted a week of our recent Back To Basics Tutorial on papercraftplanet.com. Wendy got to play with our Painting With Powder Technique and made the cutest card using our SSC1055 Birch Buddies Perfectly Clear Stamps and our SSC1058 Snowy Short Stacks Perfectly Clear Stamps, along with our Crystal, Baby Blue Pastel and White Embossing Powders.

Wendy has fallen in love with Stampendous products and sent us the sweetest note commenting on our wonderful quality and “cuteness”! Thanks, Wendy! We love them, too, but it’s nice to hear from other folks who appreciate the attention to quality we give every item from Stampendous. Here are some other samples Wendy has made using the supplies above. You can see more of her terrific creations at www.paperinkandsmiles.blogspot.com

Christi’s Recipe Cards

One of our newest favorite stampers, Christi, posted on her “Blessings On Paper” blog a couple of fabulous recipe cards, and one using a Stampendous stamp. We think her projects are so cute that we could just eat them up! And we really can’t wait to try the recipes! Giving handstamped recipe cards is one of the cutest gift ideas we’ve seen for Christmas or any time. Here’s hoping your family has a wonderful Thanksgiving full of fun food and stamping!
