New Stamps for the New Year!

Happy New Year! Many warm wishes to you and your families for a healthy and prosperous 2019.

To help ring in the new year, we are celebrating with a new stamp release. As usual, all new stamps are automatically discounted 15% through January 8, 2019. I am so excited about these new stamps! You can see the full new release here. Simply add any of the new stamps to your shopping cart and the 15% will be automatically applied at checkout.

As part of the celebration, the TJ Design Team has prepared artwork to inspire you. The full list of  participants are below, in case you want to check out their beautiful work. 


Here is some of the art I have made from the new stamps:


First, I used the One in a Lifetime stamp. I colored her with colored pencils, then I found this wild washi tape for the background. I love the positive message from this stamp!
Next, I colored the Cat Frame stamp with colored pencils and added one of the sentiments from the Cat Greetings Set. The set is great because it includes stamps for the inside and outside of your card. The background is a piece of handmade paper with texture that has been sprayed with Technique Junkies Shimmering Bliss.

 This next piece uses the Paris Postmarks background (also colored with Shimmering Bliss spray) with Merci from the French Sentiments Set .  I also added a little Eiffel Tower (previously released) as an accent.
 Finally, I made this cute little Valentine card! I used the You Stole My Heart stamp (colored with Copic Markers)  as the focal point. The background uses the Whimsey Love Stencil (from the collection of A Colorful Life Designs Stencils) lightly sprayed with Thulian Pink Shimmering Bliss. I love the tumbling hearts effect!
 Well, that is the end of the collection for January's stamps from me (so far). Watch our YouTube video on Friday for a quick tutorial for how to use the Better with Coffee Set. Not a subscriber to our YouTube channel? You can subscribe HERE.

I hope you have enjoyed our celebration, and the new stamps. Happy New Year!
