sneak peek: stampers anonymous christmas…

christmasit’s part 2 of the stampers anonymous new releases and today i’m sharing the new christmas stamps & stencils.  thanks for posting your comments on the blog, facebook, and retweeting and sharing the excitement on social media about the new products.  just a reminder…for those going to the carson rubber stamp show this weekend in california, you’ll be the first to get your hands on the new releases.  i’ll be there demoing in the stampers anonymous booth and showing lots of finished samples.  if you’re not able to get to the show, not to worry, these new stamps and stencils start shipping to your local and online retailer next monday 7/13…

i love designing for the holidays.  it’s a chance to relive and capture childhood memories with a variety of designs and styles set around a consistent theme.  this year’s holiday release provides new imagery to share in the festivities of the season.
i hope you feel inspired to remember the magic too…

– “plaid & nordic”: the perfect background for just about every holiday project. the woven plaid and detailed nordic are so versatile that no doubt i’ll be using this set year round…

– “tree line”: the stylish silhouette of these pine trees create the ultimate landscape for the season.  whether you’re watercoloring, embossing, glittering, or using over inked backgrounds, the various sized images are limited only to your imagination…

– “weathered winter”: these distressed images are the perfect backdrop for a wintery wonderland.  the bold yet shabby designs are great for layering as well as focal images – time to bundle up…

– “mini weathered winter”: i love creating stamped tags for packages during the holidays and this set includes an assortment of sizes to do just that and so much more…

– “christmas magic”: the timeless nostalgia of this holiday favorite sparks your childhood imagination.  this vintage inspired collection is one of my favorites to capture the magic of christmastime…

– “handwritten holidays 3”:  i love the personalized styling of handwriting, and these larger than life festive words are the perfect way to adorn your holiday cards this season.  they also coordinate with last years handwritten holidays 1, handwritten holidays 2, and the mini handwritten holidays – a perfect match…

– “scribbly christmas”:  the playful designs of this scribbly set adds a touch of whimsy to this release.  the sketched design of the trees are complimented by two different font styles for your cards, tags, and more – this set just makes me smile…

to add even more style to your holiday projects,  there are three new layering stencils including a distressed argyle, bold poinsettia, and delicate snowflakes.  i’m always amazed by the amount of detail stampers anonymous are able to achieve with my layering stencils and stamps – all made in the U.S.A.
