Stamp Highlight: Basic Borders

Hi friends! Today I'm highlighting the last stamp set of our first release and one of our best sellers: Basic Borders


I was itching to design Basic Borders when we first started. I own a ton of background and border sets, but I was still missing a few basics - hence the name. It is truly versatile and has amazing possibilities for all you graphic design lovers out there. Look at the card I created here. So easy but packs a major punch!



I first masked off a horizontal strip to stamp my sentiment in later. Then I went about stamping the dot border in different colors. After I got my rainbow of varying heights done, I simply peeled off my masking tape and went back and stamped my sentiment from Good Times. (Gosh, I love that sentiment!)

Now let's see what our Design Team did! You better hold onto your hats and get ready for some fabulous cards!!!

Stamp Highlight: Trifecta

Hey guys, today I'm highlighting one of my favorite and first sets I designed! So, so excited to be sharing these amazing projects with you today using Trifecta:


It's perfect for building cool graphic backgrounds or just use them to make a bold statement, like such:



Here's another card, I inked up the large open triangle pattern and then stamped the solid triangles in selectively with magenta and gray ink. This looks so cool and you can achieve so many different looks just by changing up the color combos! Sentiments are from Good Times which is the perfect companion for Trifecta



Now onto our Design Team!

Stamp Highlight: Polar Pals

Today I'm highlighting a fun holiday set: Polar Pals



Polar Pals stars 4 cute arctic characters, you may have heard of them? Mr. and Mrs. Snowman and Mr. and Mrs. Penguin. They can be used alone or together, or you can just mix them up for fun! The pairs are designed to "hold" one end of the banner of words, hearts, or stars together. Or they can hold the heart and star sparklers if you choose to have them as stand alone images. Endless possibilities = fun fun fun! You would be happy to know that they fit perfectly inside the snow globe of Believe in Magic. I should mention that all our stamps are designed with simplicity in mind. Any image can easily take center stage -- you create more with less. Like this card here. Not much needed to be done. Simple images. Simple message. Done. Awesome for mass production!



Now let's check out what our Design Team did!

Stamp Highlight: Good Times

Hi all, back today to highlight Good Times!


Good Times is an ultra cool and hip sentiment set. If you're anything like me, I was always looking for unique and fun sayings. Sometimes the norm just didn't cut it for me. I wanted to design a set that was filled with a lot of modern up-to-date sayings, stuff that my friends and I say to each other all the time. Stuff that was meaningful to us! We felt the round balloons were a nice complement to this set, you can use them alone or try two-step stamping with them. Either way, I think everyone's gotta have some basic balloon images -- there are so many possibilities with them and they just convey such a happy message!

There's so much you can do with this set, I created a balloon bouquet...


Strings were drawn in with a black pen. I love the look of the layered balloons in different colors. Such a fun and happy card! And too easy!

Let's see what our Design Team did with Good Times!

Stamp Highlight: Geotagged

Today I want to introduce you to Geotagged. It's one of my favorite sets because of the iconic images and its modern feel with nods to social media today. We thought it'd be such a fun hello, how are ya kind of set. 


We love the distressed US map and instead of traditional flags to mark your location -- we sought inspiration from the likes of Facebook and included the geotag symbol. The fun part of this set come sin the build-it-yourself luggage options we've included -- from the cute and chic polka dot pattern to the look of worn and vintage luggage with the distressed image. To add to the fun, we've designed some stickers for you to slap on your luggage. Isn't the Amtrak one so cute?

In my card here, I pulled together a few sets to work with the luggage. Balloons, bow, and sentiment are from Good Times, and the diagonal border is from Basic Borders -- stamped twice, once in yellow and once in black.



Let's see what our talented Design Team is up to!
