Happy Independence Day today to those of you in the U.S.A! We're having a pizza party!
As always, remember the following
CAS guidelines when creating your design:
- One main image
- Lots of open space, uncluttered
- Limited layers & embellishments
- Quick & easy to recreate (Note: It may take a while to create a design you like, but once you have that design, making more should be a piece of cake!)
Sugar Pea Designs is joining us as our wonderful sponsor this week!
Wendy Ramlakhan, the owner of SugarPea Designs, began this family
operated clear stamp boutique specializing in the SWEETEST stamps, steel
metal dies and paper products on the market. After many years of
working as a designer for various stamp companies, teaching her own Copic
instruction classes and having her work published in several trade
magazines, she decided to take a leap of faith and live out her passion
for stamping and paper crafting by launching her own stamp company.
SugarPea Designs offers the highest quality photopolymer clear stamps,
steel metal dies and paper products which are all proudly manufactured in the USA. New products are released each February, April,
June, August, October & December. You will find oodles of
inspiration on the company blog and on the blogs of each of their
fabulous designers. You can follow them on Pinterest, Facebook and Instagram.
This week's winner will receive
a $25 gift certificate to the online store!
