Fran’s Fabulous Friday FUN Watercolor Series has a new video lesson this week. Those pastels from earlier this month are becoming vibrant! You can see links to all the lessons and all the product videos on our website by clicking on the picture here –
The watercolor products have their own category on our website here –
And her newest video is here!! Hope you have some time to take out your paints and enjoy this week!
For our January release, Fran created several Perfectly Clear Stamps Sets that include a frame image with sentiments that fit into the frame for easy, beautiful cards. One of those is our lovely Wine Frame. A beautiful, and sometimes funny, way to invite your friends to join you for a virtual glass of something from grape juice to Cabernet.
Our Design Team had a great time sharing with this fun stamp set. Let’s take a look at what they made.
March is National Craft Month… are you looking for things to create? Our great Design Team are sharing so many fun creations on their blogs! Take a look, and leave them some love!
We’d love to hear what you’re creating! Leave us a comment below letting us know what’s on your work table, and we’ll enter you to win this beautiful Butterfly Frame Perfectly Clear Stamps™ Set. Of course our Official Rules apply and you need a U.S. Mailing Address to win.
This set is super cute and just the perfect thing for sending greetings to friends when you’re just thinking about them. The butterflies are all one stamp with the frame for super easy cards, just color and add the greeting of your choice.
Or, if you have some extra time and want to step it up, you can use an oval die to cut out the frame and make a shaker card, then cut an extra butterfly to overlap in style.
We think you’ll love this new set and want to play all Spring with these delightful butterflies.
What are you making??
Everyone is staying home more this month, and National Craft Month is a great excuse to do that. It’s so easy to order your craft supplies online and stay home to create and craft some love for others.
Why not encourage the whole family to enjoy watercoloring! Fran’s latest lesson in her Watercolor Video Series is live on our YouTube Channel! We think you’ll love how easy she makes it for you to make dramatic skies and wonderful sunsets! Check it out!
We have a winner from last week’s drawing for a Sunrise Sunset Perfectly Clear Stamps Set! Be sure to email us with your U.S. Mailing Address at submissions@stampendous.com

National Cocoa Day is upon us! Oooh… so many sweet treats this month. Amanda, Maxwell, and Mudpie are enjoying a warm cup of cocoa with mini marshmallows under the Christmas tree.

Speaking of cocoa, we also have our wonderful marshmallow snowman this year, soaking in his Cocoa Hot Tub! This cute card from Alison Heikkila is colored so beautifully.
And this card by Cards and Coffee Time’s Tina Smith is just stunning! (and really shows off the shaved ice she put in the shaker card background, too.)
Be sure to visit their blogs and leave them all some love!!
Plus this great sample from Jamie Martin from November!
And another one that Lorraine Aquilina made earlier.
