Magnolia Stamps/Tilda Stamp Releases

Magnolia Stamps started shipping their Spring Collection of Tilda stamps today. Here are some of them. Aren't they adorable. I am getting ready to order some for my website and cannot order them all, I could sure use some help/suggestions on which ones would be "must haves" for Tilda fans.

Prima Windsor Roses--what dainty little beauties!

Well, I am finally getting some of my new Primas listed on my website. I thought I would share these precious little roses. They are about the size of a golf ball across, and made with velvet material! So pretty, I cannot wait to use them, now I just need to find the time! I finished up my taxes today, ahhhhh ... what a relief. I hope to spend some spare time next week stamping, making cards and playing with these newly released Prima's. For information on purchasing these you can leave me a message, or just click on the title of this blog entry.

Copic Markers which should I pick?

Well, it is only natural that after becoming so immersed in stamps that I would "need" some Copic Markers to color my stamps. So I have been perusing the blogs and websites trying to decide which markers I need. I have decided to start carrying their line of markers in my store after reading such wonderful reviews. But where do I start my own collection? I of course cannot afford to buy every color no matter how appealing that thought is. I think I will start with the Copic Ciao markers. I understand that they are equivalent to the Sketch in every way except if you wish to airbrush. I guess they also carry a bit less ink, and have fewer color choices. So I am thinking start with the Ciao and if there is a specific color I need that is not in that line, buy it from the Sketch line. Does that make sense?

I would be interested to hear form other Copic owners. I would like to hear about which line of Copics you have and which colors you think are "must haves" for the beginner Copic buyer. Do you use Ciao or Sketch or both? Here is a color chart of what the Copic Ciao line has to offer. Hmmm... will this be "enough" colors?

Tilda Stamps from Magnolia

Just look at these adorable cards from my friend and you will see why I just have to have some Tilda stamps. I am placing my first order and will soon be stocking these great stamps in my store. But in the meantime to get your fill check out Jan's auctions by searching on ebay for BTDL, or click on the title of this thread to be taken straight to Jan's auctions.

The Greetings Farm Anya Stamps

If you all have not noticed I am fast becoming addicted to stamps. I have been trying to feature some different companies that I will carry in my store, here on my blog. Next on my list is The Greetings Farm and their Anya Stamps. I just fell in love with the little mermaid, then the fairies, and then I looked at the little animals and just couldn't resist. I will be placing an order with this company in about a week, so for more information, or to request I order a certain stamp from them please email me at casdanben@aol.com, or contact me through this blog.

What kind of stamps do you like?

Well, I have had a lot of time to sit and surf the web recently, as I have been down with some horrible respiratory virus. I have been thinking for awhile about adding stamps to my website but being that I am just getting into stamping wasn't sure which brand to carry. Well, I have found quite a few in the last couple of days. I really like a lot of the stamps that come out of Europe. I will be talking about them as I order from each different company. I am starting out with some Anya stamps (look for photos coming soon), and several others. Do you have any favorite brands? What kind of stamps do you use?
