Week 139: STYLE


Time to show off your CAS style this week!  We're loving what we see in the gallery each week and hope you keep up the good work!  You inspire us!


We're introducing a new sponsor this week!  Whimsy Stamps is joining us this week!  Here is a little about them...

We are a family owned art stamp company dedicated to providing crafters around the world with whimsical and fun rubber stamp designs. All of our rubber stamps are made from deeply etched rubber, mounted on Cling Cushion Foam and once trimmed are ready to use with an acrylic block. Our Shapeology Metal Craftings dies are exclusive to Whimsy Stamps and can be used with many table top cutting machines. These dies are made in the USA using top quality steel. They are perfect for cutting papers and fabrics and many coordinate with our sentiment stamps.Whimsy is also extremely proud to have recently added a brand new product to our shelves – photopolymer clear stamps!  Our top priority at Whimsy Stamps is to bring you amazing products using only the highest quality materials, so we have made sure that our new line of clear stamps is of the very best quality.  Our clear stamps are manufactured in the USA and are made from the highest quality photopolymer resin, which means they print perfectly just like traditional rubber stamps with a sharp quality impression.  As they are completely clear, they have the added value of allowing you to see the area where you are stamping.   Our manufacturer boasts the “highest quality clear stamps in the industry” and also uses a special patented formula of polymer that resists yellowing.   With this new product line, we are now able to add a new and exciting style of stamps to our range!

This week's winner will receive a $15 gift certificate to the online store!


This week only, they're having a Spring Sale, so if you're looking to add some fantastic new stamps to your stash, you may want to bop on over to the store and see what you can find!
