Rather than a Card giveaway this week, as I need all the samples for my stamp launch on Create and Craft therefore I will be giving away a set of my stamps today! I will enter the name of everyone who comments on todays post and the chosen winner will get one of my new stamp sets (when I can buy one as still not sure of the stock levels) sent to them!
I have had a lot of questions from people asking where can you buy these at the moment the answer is I'm not sure! they are due for release to craft shops this week and I know quite a few ordered them but as to which ones I don't know. If you have a local craft shop I would advise, if you want a set or two that is lol, that you ask if they can order them for you. Failing that the whole range will be available on Create and Craft this Saturday.
Todays set is the third set from first range of stamps (as a reminder all the stamp sets featured this week were designed and drawn by me!) called Butterfly Dreams. When I was drawing these I had to do a butterfly because who doesn't love a butterfly! One on my favourite dies from Sue Wilson's die collections was the magical butterflies, so I had to match my stamps to this one so that I could use them on my show and for my samples.
Therefore the first card (pictured) today features the butterfly magic die and the matching stamp to die for as well as one of the main elements from this set. When I was demoing some of my stamps last week everyone loved the elements on this set, especially the bubbles. Therefore I thought I would show you one of the pages I made last week.
Enjoy...
Hi John.
ReplyDeleteWow lovely card and great stamps. Thank you take care Kitty.
Hi John, Early today just leaving for work, but had to post, theses dies are just stunning I really love them and the card is a dream, please keep them coming, I am enjoying your blog so much, hugs to all, Linda.
ReplyDeleteMorning John, wow this set is really gorgeous, as you said, who doesn't like a butterfly. Love both the card and the tag. Looking forward to more sneak peeks of the new sets, they are really well designed and put together. Have a great day. Bx
ReplyDeleteHi John. A gorgeous card today. This set is beautiful, and like you said, who doesn't like butterflies? You must feel so proud seeing your own stamps being sold : ) Take care
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful John, love Butterflies so you cannot go wrong with these. The bubbles remind me of one of Barbara Grays stencils 'Bubbles' lol! These would go for any occasion and once again the sentiments are lovely, its good to have different sentiments otherwise you keep putting the same old thing on a card lol! Good luck with your shows.
ReplyDeleteLove & Hugs

Hi John
ReplyDeleteI've been away for the weekend and only now catching up! What gorgeous stamps. Lovely themes and such pretty sentiments. I love the butterflies and these would complement any butterfly die cut (and I have a few! LOL!). Congratulations on your new adventure. Best wishes, Anne O
Hi John, I just found your blog a few days ago, and having seen your beautiful work I'm mad at myself for not knowing of it before. I love your stamps, especially the daisy ones. Looking forward to your show on Saturday.

Good morning John, what a lovely start of the week with such a beautiful card and tag love this stamp it is so dainty and would also make a card with a beach or sea scene with all the bubbles I think?!take care Jane B.
ReplyDeleteGood morning John,
ReplyDeleteI love this set as well and it is unusual to see a bubbles stamp as in looking like those ones that do dishes and are a soft as can be (you know the ones that we all grew up with). Thanks John for a lovely card and tag, but i want to know about the acetate panel with the bubbles and script as it is beautiful. I hope that you get a lot of comments John and that they stay with you as you are very talented and deserve to get the recognition.

Hi John
ReplyDeleteThis card is simply stunning. I love the elements of this card. I especially love the background that you've done on this one. I do hope you can demo this one. If not perhaps at Ally Pally if your going. I'd just love to win a set of your stamps, so thanks for the chance to do so.
I will need to plan my weekend around your shows, these dies are fantastic and I can't wait to see you use them.
ReplyDeleteI really like all the sentiments. Very useable as well as pretty.
Cheers

Hi John
ReplyDeleteLovely card
I always record your shows so not to miss anything
Thanks for the inspiration
Jean
I love your new stamps sets John - but its exceedingly tedious having to go to the website, then trawl through the list of suppliers, only to find they didn't order the whole set, just the ones you didn't want. Seems daft to me that you can't order direct. I resent paying £7.99 just to get a stamp set from C&C (I live in Ireland, and that's what they charge per item).
ReplyDeletewow this stamp set is beautiful and the samples are divine. So pleased for you.
ReplyDeleteLovely John, I am looking forward to the shows. I doubt that your stamps will be available here in the US, what a shame.
ReplyDeleteLovely card and can't wait to get my hands on the stamps - hoping they will be for sale at the Hobbycraft show next month ?
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Hi John, another beautiful card. I have just ordered an assortment of Foundation cardstock as I missed out on Create & Craft as they sold out so quickly. Looking forward so much to receiving it all, fabulous colours. I am so grateful for all your hints and advice you gave me at your recent demonstration in Carlisle, specially how to take photographs of my cards. Thanks again for that. Kind regards Lesley.
ReplyDeleteAn absolutely stunning card, I love white on white - the butterflies and bow are gorgeous x
ReplyDeleteAs always an elegant card from those oh - so-usable stamps. Great design work, I'm sure they'll fly off the shelves. Are you at the NEC so we can pop by to say hello and thanks for the inspiration?
ReplyDeleteLovely card and the stamps look good too. A nice variation with sentiments. Good luck with the launch.
ReplyDeleteHello John and all
ReplyDeleteAdorable. I think these are the nicest stamps so far. I love the effect you have with the stamping on acetate aperture. The bubbles are so sweet, I think the pearls on the tag is very effective and the sentiments are lovely. Thanks for sharing.
Best wishes
Hi John
ReplyDeleteButterflies are popular, I think these will be too. I especially like the font. Reminds me of the styles and designs from the 1920s- 1930s. The bubbles are a cool feature, different from flowers/ hearts which isn't always my thing. I do love the tag, it's the sort of thing I like to do, stamping on top of many colours of ink, the catd is very elegant and shows how well your stamps go with Sue's die.
Hugs

Oh John that is a 'dream set of stamps'. I'm certain it will fly out of the shops. Today's card and tag are precious. I've never been brave enough to stamp on acetate but your sample today is giving me itchy fingers! Keep up the good work John, it is fab.
