Mother’s Day Greetings from Stampendous!

Happy Mother's Day Everyday Chicks Card

Here at Stampendous we are all about Mothers. We know how hard being a mother can be, and how rewarding. We hope that you, and all your chicks, have a super happy Mother’s Day.
Craft together, laugh together, and just have a wonderful time!

If you’re up before the family, or just settling down with your second cup of coffee (or your second mimosa), here’s some fun with chicks to help you enjoy the day. Be sure to join us next week when we will be looking at our Sassy Silhouettes as they hit the City!

Going out into the world with the whole family can be such an adventure! Keeping track of your chicks, is always a challenge as well. With our Everyday Chicks and their handy cutting dies, you can celebrate the victory of getting everyone together for Mother’s Day or just getting out of the house in the morning! Everyday Chicks can do it all!

Check out a few cards by our own Fran Seiford showing the chicks in action. You can click on the picture to visit the project on our website with complete supply lists and instructions.

This set of greetings has a clean, crisp font that goes perfectly with our fluffy chicks and provides a wonderful amount of versatility when used on its own or with any other stamps!

Celebrate Mom!

Spring Tweets by Fran Seiford

Mother’s Day is just around the corner in the U.S., and there is still time to create a beautiful project for the occasion!

What better way to show appreciation for all that moms do for our family than to make a homemade stamped card, gift or scrapbook memory. We have tons of stamps and stencils worthy of a project for our moms.

Let’s take a look at some of our latest blossom images that are perfect for a card, tag or gift wrapping!

Vintage rose with a postcard backdrop, country pitcher holds a hydrangea bunches, and fresh cut flower bouquets are all fabulous images for a project from mom, we also have a ton more flowers of different styles available in our Flower Garden category of our website, stop by and see them all!

The cat’s whiskers of coloring videos, Fran Seiford shares how to color these kitties from our October 2014 catalog with even a tip on stretching the feline fur factor for long hair and full coated versions.

We had so much fun sharing or kitty cats with you this week and come back next week to see some exciting new projects that are out of the box awesome!

 

Kitty Come Home

We have our suspicions that these tabby’s are anything but domestic! The return from their auspicious outings have accessorized them well in these design team projects and we’ve got the how-to over on our website. Check the links on the Cattus Librum, Sherlock Cat and Bonjour Kitty product pages to make one for some feline crafty fun!

 

Beware! Cats on the prowl might peek out when links below are clicked.

Here Kitty! Kitty!

Stampendous fans are you ready for a cuddly week of feline love? We have three new kitties that will remind you of and entice you to color them as one your own kittens. Today we’ve got a sleepy little mouser possibly exhausted from the latest chase, but is certainly having sweet dreams perhaps of a successful second go.
