Speaking of quick videos....

I have a really short 101 video on

how to stamp using *Sweet* clear

polymer stamps...

If you need a refresher or if you're

'Furry Friends Forever' set

and made this super fun Spring card

I really love the colors and those

flowers.. every time I pass that flower ribbon

at the store I always pick it up and admire it

... but, I always put it back. Next time I'll bite

the bullet and pull out the extra penny jar stash

to pick some up... it's just so darn pretty!

Twine Storage

2012-03-04T10:04:00.000-08:00

Hooray! I think I've got a

great way to store

TIMELESS TWINE!!

Timeless Twine is Sweet Stamp Shop's

GO-TO twine... they come in the perfect 160yd

spools... which is just enough to have LOTS but,

not so much that you think, What the heck am I

ever going to do with all this twine?!?

The storage solution I came up with is

great for the home crafter and *perfect* for

craft teachers... check out how I store

my collection of TImeless Twine!

I went to ikea and bought the silver cylinders

that are originally meant for kitchen utensils.

They were $2.99 each

I fit FOUR spools of twine in each! Perfectly!

The twine comes out of the holes and you

can pull out however much you need with

total ease!

I typed out and printed the colors from my computer and

backed the labels with magnets...

Magnets? You ask.. why not just use your nifty label

maker? ... Here is why...

I like to take only certain colors for teaching classes

or to a crop... b/c I magnetized them... I can switch around

the spools and take whatever mixture I want!

SWEET GENIUS!

Timeless Twine has 15 different colors on spools...

but, I have it on good authority more colors are coming!

So, I was sure to buy a couple extra cylinders!

Love this storage!

Do you have any storage solutions that are

*sweet* genius?!?!

Please share!!

I love organizing *almost* as much as I love

craftin!

Don't forget to visit Timeless Twine and say hi!

Hugs,

Nicole

Good Morning Happy Campers!

Top of the mornin' to ya!!

Today we have Ms. Kelley sharing *the* most

colorful and fun card using Old School Rock.

I love Kelley's fun style and simple cards. It's

designed so nicely... ready to book mark this

for reproduction?

Love that card! Love the set... it's really gender

neutral.. which makes it versatile.

Check it out at the shop: HERE

Also I have a little something fun to share with you...

A little Copic coloring video! If you have a couple

minutes... this video is fast (no really, it's fast mode)

it's a peek into how I color Melvin. Others might add

shadow and highlights in other ways... but, this is how

I use Copics. :)

Ready set... watch...

Hope you liked it! I think I'm going to do

some more! And I'm going to work a little

closer to the camera so you can see it just a bit better!

Here is the card I whipped up to go with my colored

Melvin.

I used some Timeless Twine in there!

Have you heard of Timeless Twine?

There is some exciting news coming down

the pipeline and it has a lot to do with TWINE!!

I can't wait to share with you!

Monday-O-Rama!

2012-02-13T07:37:00.000-08:00

Yeah, actually there isn't too much

special about this Monday... but,

I notice when you add O-Rama to

something it just makes it sound more fun!

So today is Monday-O-Rama!

And kicking off our little Monday

inspiration parade is Savannah...

She made this fun card using

Old School Rock

I love how it looks like the tape is coming

out of the cassette. Lol. I remember spending a

good portion of my youth winding up cassettes!

We love this set!

Be sure to stop by Savannah's blog

and say hello! I know she *loves* visitors!

Ohhh, I have another little bonus

card to show you from Emily!

It's just so darn cute I can't stand it!

She glittered up some 'Spectacles'!

And came up with this gem!

I really like that this card could

be used for a boy... it's perfect!

Emily, she out does herself every time!

Sweet Spotlight: Erin Noll

2012-02-11T08:24:00.000-08:00

Sweet Stamp Shop has *the* sweetest

fans and customers around! Really!

We started 'sweet spotlighting' a while

ago BUT we're going to start spotlighting

WAY more often! There is just SO many talented

ladies who use our stamps and we want

to show it off!

So, today's 'Sweet Spotlight' is...

ERIN NOLL

Here is a little about Ms. Erin..

1. When did you start paper crafting? Why do you love it so much?

I started paper crafting in the Fall of 2008 to keep me busy while my hubby (boyfriend at the time) was hunting. I made scrapbooking pages and eventually graduated to cards. Creating allows me to relax and escape from my full time job. In addition, I've met some great friends who also love to make pretty things!

2. What is it about stamping that you like? Coloring? Paper piecing?

I told my friends I was never going to stamp... I think I thought I would save money! Well, now I'm a crazy stamper and it's my favorite thing to reach for when crafting. Stamps are the best and cheapestembellishment you can use over and over again.

3. Girls and their crafting toys... What is your favorite supplies?

Right now my favorite supplies are my Copics. I have quite a stash but I'm still learning how to blend. I also can't live without my Spellbinders die-cuts.

4. We noticed you *love* Sweet Stamp Shop...

What is your favorite set? What set is on the top of your wish list?

My favorite Sweet Stamp Shop set is easily Melvin and Vernie. It was my first set and I get sentimental about silly things like that. The set on top of my wish list is Sweet Victoria--I love that chandelier!!!

5. Any last 'sweet' thoughts, comments, or tips to share?

I am so excited to see what Sweet Stamp Shop comes up with next! Nicole and the design team always inspire me to try new things. My newest trick is to stamp with black ink and use clear embossing powder before I color with my Copics. I like the clean look and with clear powder you don't see the little unwanted specks. You also don't color outside of the lines.

Check out some of the amazing

projects Erin has made...

Thank you so much Erin for

letting us spotlight you!

You're creations are simply and

completely sweet!

Make sure to drop off at Erin's blog

and say hello!

See you all tomorrow!

Hugs,

Happy Saturday.

Nicole

The rest of the sweet

2012-02-10T07:10:00.000-08:00

We're so pleased to be announcing

the last of our sweet girls!!

Do you have a sweet tooth yet??

(well, truth be told... I was at the dentist

this week after a rather large piece of

one of my teeth came out while I was sleeping...

Long story short... after chatting with my

dentist, we're pretty sure that a couple

weeks ago when I hit myself in the face

with my racquet... I probably cracked the

tooth... and two weeks later it fell out.

Ugh. Obviously, we're investing in mouth

guards b/c Nicole can't be trusted with

large objects in her hand...lol)

ANYWAY!

Here is our last two

sweet ladies...

Starting with Ellen!

And a little about Ellen...

in her own words.

Hi! My name is Ellen Sosnoski. I live in a small town in Northeast Pennsylvania. It is such a great area because I can be in Philly or NYC in a matter of hours and I am a city girl at heart. I share my days and nights with my better half, Brian. You may here me call him Brain ;) He really is the best part of me. We have two amazing little nuggets, Owen and Henry. They are 8 and 4 and keep us jumping with sports and scouts and everything else that goes with the life of having two boys. We have two dogs, too, Max and Chase. We rescued both of them and I can't imagine a life without dogs. They snuggle and love you no matter what. I work in Marketing and teach business classes at night. I love teaching and it is a dream of mine to be a college professor one day. Besides my love of wine, that is me in a nutshell.

Reaching out to Nicole to be a part of this SWEET team wasn't even a question. I love her stamps and her excitement and passion for all things crafty and, well, life in general. I cannot wait to get started!!! I started in this industry as a Stampin' Up! consultant and can't imagine making a layout or card without my stamps.

Be sure to drop by this little ladies

blog... it's pretty amazing.

Ellen whipped up this

Hello Beautiful card...

LOVE! Did you know that you

can grab this set (and Spectacle & Buddie Bee)

for 10% off through the weekend? Use

Last but completely not least is

Jamie!!

A little about cute lil' Jamie...

Hi! I am Jamie Cripps, a 30-something mother of two! I live near Detroit, Michigan with my craft-supportive husband of 13 years! I was introduced to scrapbooking when my daughter was born 12 years ago, but it wasn't until our first Disney vacation in 2006 that I became obsessed! I am currently designing for several companies and I am employed as the Social Media Coordinator and Design Team Lead for Momenta. I have published in several print and online magazines and have done catalog work for companies too! I absolutely love Nicole's images and I am so honored to be joining the Sweet Stamp Shop team!

Check out Jamie on her blog

Stephanie shared this sweet little bio in her own words:

My name is Stephanie Muzzulin I am married with two beautiful children Mackenzie and Codey. I live in a very small town in Northwest CT. There is not much to do when you live in a small town out in the country so I was very happy to find cardmaking as hobby a few years ago!!! I started by making baby shower invites for a friend and have not looked back since!!! I have had some amazing opportunities to work with some great companies (Unity,Market Street Stamps,Ribbon Carousel and just recently Paper Made Bakery) along with some great challenge blogs. I just really love sharing my work on my blog and more than anything meeting amazing people!!!! Not to long ago discovered Sweet Stamp Shop and I knew from the moment I got that first stamp set that these stamps were amazing and something I would love to work with and share on my blog. I am so excited to be a part of an amazing team and a great company and I cannot wait to get started!!!!

First off, let's go ahead and start off with TWO more sweet tooth girls that will be joining the team!

Starting with
Laurel Beard

Here's a little bit about Laurel in her own words...

I live in sunny Florida, where I have lived my entire life. I am married to a Navy Pilot and we have a gorgeous 6 year old son. I have been in the crafting industry for a few years... I would define myself as a Clean and Simple card designer, rarely using a lot of embellishments on one card. .... I love to use stamps to their fullest potential by stamping, coloring, paper piecing, creating backgrounds, etc... I have a passion for distress inks and incorporate various distress ink techniques into my designs. I LOVE LOVE LOVE sweets! However, due a doctor ordered diet, I can't have them anymore, :(.... So I am thrilled to join the "sweetest" design team around filled with wonderful ladies using some of the 'sweetest' stamps I have ever seen. AND, they are calorie free! YAY!!!!

You can see some of Laurel's fabulous creations on her blog HERE

Next up is
Kelley Eubanks

Now to get to know Kelley better...
My name is Kelley Eubanks. I live in Mount Juliet, TN... right outside of Nashville. I have been married to my husband, Michael, for 13 years and we have a 5 year old son, Carver. I am blessed to be a stay-at-home mom/wife... there is no better 'job' in the world! I am SO excited to be a part of the Sweet Stamp Shop Design Team! I have been a fan of the company since it began. I am drawn to the sweet style of the stamps! I am a stamper at heart and I have been creating passionately for about four years! I am honored to be a part of this design team and I think we are going to have a 'sweet' six months together!

You can see some of Kelley's awesome projects on her blog HERE

Sweet Tooth Girl Intro and Guest Designer Tami Mayberry

2012-02-07T07:00:00.000-08:00

Ohh, I'm so excited for todays post!

You finally get to meet the new

Sweet Tooth Girls!!

Starting with the amazingly talented

Laura O'Donnell

Here is a little about this *sweet* lady...

Hi, my name is Laura O'Donnell and I'm from West Chester, PA. I've been married for 15 years and have a 12 year old daughter and a 4 year old son. I've been papercrafting for about 9 years now, starting with scrapbooking and moving to cardmaking and stamping. I do most of my crafting early in the morning while the house is quiet. If you ever see me on Facebook at a ridiculous hour I probably just woke up. My cardmaking style is pretty clean and simple, but I like to try out different techniques. I am very smitten with Nicole's original style and I'm looking forward to working with her Sweet Stamps as a part of this team.

Have you seen some of Laura's work?!?

Completely sweet and utterly amazing

in every way... if I do say so myself!

Give her a good ol fashioned sweet

welcome at her blog...

Next up is completely bitter sweet...

We're starting to announce our

*new* design team and we'll kick it off

today with a very hard send off ....

Julie Ranae has been the most amazing

design team coordinator and friend.

She really helped us launch Sweet Stamp

Shop in the social world and walked along

side us as we grew... I can't believe it's been

6 months already!?!

But, Julie is a bright star we simply couldn't

keep all to ourselves... she has so many amazing

opportunities coming her way...we can't wait to

keep up with all things Julie!

AND, be her biggest cheerleader!

So, it's with a warm and *sweet* hug that we

bid farewell to Julie and welcome

EMILY LANHAM as our new

lead coordinator and social media

go-to-sweet gal!

Here is Emily and a little

about her (in her own words)

AND check her out

at her blog: HERE

My name is Emily Lanham. I am a 29 year old stay at home mommy and wife. I reside in southern Ohio with my childhood sweetheart/husband, Brandon, 4 year old daughter, Reagan, 6 year old step-son, Reid, and our little doggie, Pumpkin. I have been scrapbooking for as long as I can remember, but I really got into the hobby (and collecting paper, stamps, and everything that goes with it) about 6 years ago. I am always up for a challenge and I enjoy creating with objects that I can find around my house. I started the whole design team thing early last year and found that I really enjoy working in a creative group/team environment. I have a passion to create and I have been a huge fan of the Sweet Stamp Shop since I got my first glimpse of Nicole's whimsical designs last summer. I am very excited to be joining the team and even more excited for you all to see what we have in store for the Sweet Stamp Shop!

Yippee! Welcome Emily!

You'll be seeing lots of Emily

around all things 'sweet'! Be

sure to give her a big hello hug!

Also, you'll notice (on the blog wall)

that our very own

Savannah O'Gwynn is returning as our

Senior Designer!! Hoorrayyy!!

Thank you, Savannah, for wanting to

stay on and be apart of the 'sweet' team

again! You're such a doll and an amazing

designer... everyone *loves* your designs and

creative mind!! So glad we talked you into staying

on board!! HUGS!!!

We can't wait to see where the next

6 months takes us and we're so glad

you all are coming along with us!

Ready for one *sweet* ride!?!?

Hugs,

Hello!

We're back from CHA so inspired and motivated to

inspire YOU! Whew, so much great stuff to share...

But, first we have the last of the designer send

offs... oh so bitter sweet!

We're so thankful for our last design team and

all the amazing inspiration they provided...

Lindsay, brought so many fun new ideas and

designs to the team! She will be greatly missed!

We hope she knows she can come back and share

ANYTIME!

Check out the last couple projects she made! WOW.

Look at that Scrapbook layout with the stamps!

That's *exactly* what I had in mind when I created

this set... I wanted it to be versatile enough that it would

work no matter the project you were creating!

Here's an up close...

I love that 'Sentimental Bird' set.

(we're out of stock at the moment

but a new shipment is coming in soon!)

Next up Lindsay used the 'Old

School Rock' set.

I love the colors that she used and how

she stamped the speakers! I'm doing that

*for sure*!!

Love this set!

We'll miss Lindsay! Stop by her blog and let

her know that you'll miss her too... but, I'm sure

we'll keep in touch... right? She's amazing!

This next designer is simply sweet!

We love Aga! We're going to miss her clean

style and go-to inspirational cards.

Check out the last card she made for us...

Aga used the 'Spectacle' set

Ummm, yes please! She used the kit

from Paper Made Bakery (you know *we're* out

of stock of 'Sentimental Birds' but Paper Made Bakery

still has one or two kits left~ So, hop on over to claim one!)

AND Paper Made Bakery has *free* shipping on

all kits! These kits are jammed with lots of goodies...

in the least... it's worth a peek! HERE

Aga! We'll miss you... and we hope you'll

stop by often with new creations... we just

adore your clean and fresh style. It's just

so SWEET!

Say hello and *we'll miss you* to Aga... HERE.

CHA FIND!!!

You know there is a new alcohol marker on the

block?? It's called Touch by ShinHanArt.

Yep, we tried it out at CHA and we're

impressed! So impressed that I can't wait to share

with you how amazing these little babies are!

Here's who this marker is for...

You *love* how Copics look

and feel and work... but you don't

*love* the price.... THIS Touch marker

is for you! It's going to retail for *a lot* less

than Copic and be of *very* similar quality.

(if not better...that's up for discussion!)

We've got all 168 colors coming our way and

we're excited to do a video showing you

all the latest in Touch marker.

Until then, you'll wanna come back

tomorrow for some CHA swag give-a-way

that *includes* some of these new

Touch markers!!

Yippee!!

See you tomorrow!

Happy Crafting!

Sweet Hugs To Leigh Ann!

2012-01-29T07:38:00.000-08:00

Another sweetly sad goodbye (or see you later!) to one of our favorite 'Sweet Tooth Girls' Leigh Ann!

Leigh Ann is one of the sweetest designers around.... great simple style with cute embellishments... she made every card inspirational and totally re-doable! Honestly, the best designers are the ones that leave you thinking, "I love that AND I'm going to rush to my craft room and try it!" ... Leigh Ann's designs do just that.

We are so thankful for her and all the great cards she made... we know that wherever she goes she'll be a great success! Love you Leigh Ann!

Check out her parting card....

She used the 'Sweet Tooth' set (which we're re-ordering this week... in case you went to the shop and found out that we're sold out :) But, this card showcases how a couple buttons and some really cute paper placement can really make a card pop. I love that Leigh Ann doesn't always color in the stamps... while I *love* coloring... sometimes you just need a quick card and this technique really lends itself to that. Great Job Leigh Ann .... We'll miss you!

Really quickly... (because we're getting ready for day two CHA...and I haven't put any make-up on yet... YIKES!) I wanted to share with you a couple cards Savannah made for the blog today. Ahh-mazing as always! She used the 'Scootin' By' set... (which has been one of our best sellers... if you don't already have it... it's a must!)

I love the colors she used in this one! The scooter never

looked so good!

Check out this clean and simple card that goes ever

so nicely with the last card! I really like this... and

it's just so darn doable!

and the inside!

Head over to Savannah's blog and say hi.... Oh, how I wish she was at CHA with me! (I wish I could bring you all!!)

Jacob and I will be keeping you in the CHA 'know' with lots of facebook pictures and updates!!

Happy Stamping!

Hugs,

'Sweet' Journey, Donna!

2012-01-27T06:31:00.000-08:00

We're saying a bittersweet fair well to our Sweet Tooth Girl, Donna!

Jacob and I were lucky enough to get to meet Donna during our Hawaii trip this summer and she is just as sweet as you can imagine. She has been just the nicest friend and go-to girl for all things crafty... never mind the fact that she's just one heck of a designer!

Check out this parting card she made for us... tear tear!

She used the kit from Paper Made Bakery featuring Authentique Paper and really pretty ribbons, nick nacks... of course Sweet Stamp Shop Stamps too!! It all just makes for the most amazing kit and paper crafting go to 'loot' .

Savannah also made some really amazing cards for Paper Made Bakery

this month... as a PMB designer. Can't wait to show you her line up of sheer amazingness! No. really... amazingness!

Whew, not only is she one *busy* lady... it's all amazing! She *also* posted a really great video on how to die ribbon...check it out

It's all so amazing, right? That Savannah... she's always out doing herself! Stop by her blog and say hello... and let her know how much you love all her inspiration!

And... if you can drop in to Donna's and bid her a very sweet good bye... although, I'm sure we'll be stalking her blog daily anyway..lol... Sweet Stamp Shop and all the girls wish her very sweet travels and best of luck in everything crafty!

We'll miss you Donna!

So, we're off ... to CHA tomorrow... Ack, lots to do! But, we'll be updating you via the blog and facebook with lots of photos and fun stuff! We'll even do some give-a-ways while we're there... so keep an eye open!

Hugs!

Bitter Sweet!

2012-01-23T06:26:00.000-08:00

Design Team Call Update: After lots of *really* hard choices...We're sending out design team invitations sometime this afternoon. BUT WAIT! IF you don't get an invitation this afternoon... we're still working on our guest designer list and plan to send out those invites later this week. So, if you don't hear from us today... you could still get an email later this week!

It's starting... the time where we have to start saying goodbye to our old designers and all the amazing work they have done!

Today we're saying a <3 heartfelt and lovingly sweet goodbye <3 to GENY! She's been such a great source of inspiration to all of us and today is her last blog post for us. BUT, I'm sure she'll still hang around and say hello... I mean, once you go 'sweet' ... it hard to ever go back! :)

She used 'Cool Scoop'... Of course you can find that HERE.

Isn't that card lovely?! She mentioned she doesn't color much, but I think that she should because it's fantastic!

A big THANK YOU to Geny for all that she has done for Sweet Stamp Shop and we wish her all the best as she continues crafting and sharing! She really is a 'sweet' genius!

BIG HUGS GENY!

I also wanted to show you a card that Donna put on her blog yesterday that is totally fun and completely ingenious!

Check out what she did with 'Spectacle'.... practically my favorite set!

Check out the inside of those glasses!! She made them look like actual glasses with some clear embossing... wow, Donna.... she's just so creative! (and what I *love* about this look is that you could easily do it too!)

Donna still has a post or two for us... so we won't be saying goodbye to her yet. But, we're still so happy that Donna came on board for our first team. I think she has created some of the most creative cards and designs that Sweet Stamp Shop has seen! We <3 Donna!

If you can... stop by Geny's BLOG to say goodbye and thank you... I know she'd love it!

Happy Crafting and Happy Monday

Hugs,

Somebunny LOVES Saturday!

2012-01-21T06:39:00.000-08:00

It's ME! It's ME!

Yippee, I love Saturday!

I hope that your Saturday includes

a little bit of crafting... and if

it does... you'll be excited to see

todays inspiration! (well

I think you'll *love* to

see it anyway!)

Ms. Savannah put together

some really really fun cards using the

'Furry Friends Forever' set!

She also use 'Against the Grain' !!

Wait till you see how she used these sets and how much fun they are! She's a sweet genius! For sure!

QUICK DESIGN TEAM CALL UPDATE

I wanted to let you all know that we are hard at work picking out the next terms designers. We're *really* close to sending out invites and getting the new group of girls together! With close to 100 applicants... this job was extremely difficult! We would have loved to bring everyone on! Truly. (We're not just saying that.... being only 6 months old... we're flattered that 100 people thought enough of our designs and our business that they wanted to join us... although, we agree... we're pretty sweet!...lol...) Anyway! Hold tight... we're close!

So check out this card Savannah made... Love that she made the bunny

tail fluffy! And, of course, her use of patterned paper... is amazing.

We just can't get enough of Savannah... her positive attitude.. and

her infectious personality! You think Savannah's cards are great? She is

equally (or more!) great!! Stop on by her blog and tell her we say she's

a 'sweet' genius!

One more card to show you...

I love how she stamped 'Against the Grain' on several colors

and then put them together! What an amazing card all around! I'm

totally stealing this idea for a class... or maybe just a card for a

special friend! *love* it!

Here are the stamps sets used today...

Against the Grain

Furry Friends Forever

Happy Saturday Crafting ALL!

Hugs,

Thursday is the new Friday

Life is messy! But, it's the best

kind of messy... right?

Love that card Leigh Ann!

I also use 'Core of it' to make

a little magnet from my fridge...

Jacob and I in our engagement photos!

(Gosh, didn't realize it had been

so many years... time flies~ esp.

when you're married to the best man

on planet earth!)

Anyway! Enough gooshy about my Jacob!
