We are always curious what we’ll get for the holidays. Just like kids, we hope for our favorite toys… stamps! Well this year we’re asking for our stockings to be filled with CURIO Rubber Stamps. They’re so cute, will look so adorable in our stamp room, and will help us with our holiday stamping for years to come!
Today we’re looking at the last of our new CURIO Rubber Stamps, the darling Brown Bear. He just looks like he can’t wait for Santa to come down his chimney! What a cutie!

We’re continuing this week with our sweet CURIO Rubber Stamps. These adorable pieces of displayable art are also beautifully made rubber stamps that will give you a Stampendous Impression Every Time. Made from gorgeous, solid hardwood, they have a full-color, wipe-clean index that will display the image, personally colored by Fran, for years to come through lots of use. The rubber stamp side is deeply etched and closely trimmed.
One of the nicest features of these stamps is the full-color index on top. This is a lovely inspiration starting place for your own coloring. Although, of course, you can color any of these great images how ever your heart desires.
Let’s look at a couple more of the animals today. First up is our Tired Kitty! This sleepy kitten is all ready for Santa’s visit, but I don’t think he’ll be able to stay awake that long. So fun to color, you can color him/her just like your own sweet cat. This would be a darling stocking stuffer for the cat lover in your life.
Next check out our llama! This one doesn’t even spit! He’s ready to carry all your packages up to the mountains to celebrate Christmas. What a great stocking-stuffer for the llama lover in your life. He’s super sweet and can be colored so many different ways!

Everyone loves the way our new CURIO stamps feel in your hand when you create. They are a gorgeous hard wood that is painted and lacquered with a finish over the colored label to protect and preserve it. These stamps will give you years of beautiful use with wipe-clean ease. And they’re just so darn cute. IF you didn’t check out Frans video, you really should, to get an idea of how big they are and how perfect for a card. It’s down below.
Today we’re featuring our beautiful Poinsettia CURIO. A galvanized bucket holds a bouquet of beautiful poinsettias, Christmas roses, pine cones, and greenery to send your loved ones for the holiday (at a fraction of the cost of sending real flowers! OR together with real flowers!). You’ll love the impression you get from this stamp that is as beautiful to display as it is to use. Look at the gorgeous card Fran made.

The sweet puppy hanging out the window is excited to get home for the holidays, you can color him to look just like your dog as well. Look at this cute card Fran made with this stamp…

Here at Stampendous some of the most popular images are those of flora! We have so many flowers and trees and other garden elements, and they are all really popular with our fans. This week we thought we’d take a look at the trees of Stampendous. Christmas Trees, Haunted Trees, Garden Trees, Spring Trees, Stencil Trees, Whimsical Trees… as one designer said, “We could do a whole month!”
Scenic stamping has been popular for decades, and with all of today’s coloring options, it’s more popular than ever. Fran always tries to design our trees so that no masking will be needed for you to work it into your scenic stamping. We hope you’ll enjoy this little walk in the woods! Do let us know how you feel about trees!
Let’s start by sharing with you some of the Christmas Tree Stamps we have. That season is still sneaking up on all of us… sneak… sneak… have you been naughty or nice? We’ll start with the tree!

Let’s see what our Design Team has for us today! Trees!!
from last week’s Get Your “Boo” on giveaway. Thanks everyone for counting up our colored words. Purple was a bit problematic since many of your browsers show the design team links in purple after you’ve viewed them. So your Purple count could have been anywhere from 6 t0 41. We really meant just the spooky words, so we’re not going to let that influence us. We threw everyone in the drawing that bothered to give us some numbers. Our three US winners are:
Beckie Williams
Tracey Magner
Barb MacAskill
Congratulations, Winners!! Email us at submissions@stampendous.com with your mailing address, and we’ll get your Birds and Bones right out to you!

Here’s a pretty fabulous list of projects to hop on over and see.
Come join us all next week as we share projects using some of our favorite products from TombowUSA and then starting Friday, September 18th we’ll be hopping with their design team. See you back
By now I’m guessing that this set of Cling Stamps and their matching Cutting Dies are reeeeaaaally familiar to you. There’s a very good reason why the “Create Christmas” sets have been featured all of this week…they are amazingly versatile! Mix them up with Dreamweaver designs by Stampendous, and the possibilities are endless.
You’ve learned how to color these images. You’ve learned how to paper piece them with designer papers. You’ve learned to simply stamp and emboss the images. Now, how about ink-stenciling a background design over the tree? How about pasting a design on the tree? How about adding a bit of Dreamweaver Embossing Paste to edges to create snow? For more dimension and the wow factor, how about running the tree through your embossing machine with the Dreamweaver stencil backgrounds or embossing folders? Now we’re talking! Here are just a few designs that would work well for these techniques, a few of which are considered “everyday” designs to be used year round for all of your Stampendous/Dreamweaver projects:
We are here today with more Christmas trees from the design team linked up towards the end of our post, but before we hop on over to see them we have a great video with Fran Seiford using Create Christmas.
You’ll see plenty of ideas for tree styles and colors plus somewhere in the video Fran gives a tip on making different styles of glistening snow and vintage decorations.
Let’s hop on over to these designer projects for more inspiration!
Are you ready to create a little Christmas this week? We are!
One of the loved traditions of Christmas season is finding the perfect evergreen tree and decorate it with treasured ornaments and accessories. Now we can create a grove of fun Christmas trees in assorted styles and decorations with two new products from our July 2015 catalog.
Cling Create Christmas Stamp Set includes a shapely tree and adornment stamps to make a jolly holiday tree project of your very own. This set also includes a free stencil for easy coloring and masking on your projects and we’ll show you how to use it all this week.
Stamp and decorate the tree in one layer or easily add dimension with the coordinating Create Christmas Die Set. The possibilities are endless with this set of 12 dies that cut all the stamp set images in Create Christmas even dies to cut the tree into layers for new heights. Add oodles of gifts around your tree with the two rectangle and bow dies.
Decorate this tree quickly by stamping on pattern paper as shown in this festive card by Fran Seiford. Add a few wrapped presents in no time using only dies and more pattern paper, then all that is left is Christmas wish sentiment put together with the Holiday Words Perfectly Clear Stamps Set.
With so many ways to trim a tree with this stamp and die combination our design team have some great Christmas projects to share! Let’s see what they have today!
