Sale-a-bration Item of the Week

Hi Stampers, Looks like this is as far as I can go back. Bummer! I'll be sure to post the new ones as they are released. Enjoy!! January 20 Lotus Blossom Stamp Set #139143 This gorgeous stamp set makes anyone feel like an artist in three quick steps. It creates a beautiful flower that looks painted, but it is amazingly easy. The individual stamps have a tab at the top to help you align them, and the tabs are numbered so you will know which part of the flower to stamp first, second, and third. Try playing around using one ink pad with the stamping off technique, or multiple different ink pads to create many different looks. Artwork by Mary Ellen Byler and Sarah Klass
