More is More

WooHoo!!!  Have you heard the news?  My exceptionally talented friend Taylor has her own line of rubber stamps – Stamp a Sweet Impression. 

And as if that’s not exciting enough I’m a member of her design team the Baker’s Dozen!!!  The actual release is Thursday night at 9pm Pacific (midnight EST), but today I have a sneak peek!  It feels soooooo good to finally get to share this with all of you!

This sweet little cupcake witch was created with the Trick or Sweet stamp set and her kitty is from Frightful Night.  All the paper, cardstock, ribbon and glitter are from the Halloween Key Ingredients package.  The witch was colored with Copic markers and cut out with a circle Coluzzle allowing me to leave her broom and the tip of her hat outside the circle.  It’s hard to see in the photo, but there is black glitter around the scallop circle and the black dots on the card were created with little globs of Crystal Effects covered with the black glitter (allow to dry throuroughly before trying to shake off excess glitter!)

In case you’re wondering, the best Copic matches to the Halloween Key Ingredients package are BV04 Blueberry, YR15 Pumpkin Yellow and either YG03 Yellow Green or YG25 Celedon Green.  Taylor is not carrying Copics, but you can get them at eclectic Paperie.

I am so excited for Taylor and her new venture that I am almost speechless!  LOL – *speechless* – that’ll be the day, huh?  Well, ok, I did say almost!  Ever since I got my hands on these sets I have not been able to stop stamping with them!  Let me just share a few of the things I’m loving.

• the scrumptious super deeply etched pink rubber.  I don’t know about you but I’m an old fashioned rubber fan, and this is the good stuff Baby!  It’s perfectly deeply etched so I have not had even one problem with getting a good clear impression!

• die cut *happy sigh*.  There’s no trimming to be done.  When these stamps arrive at your house, you just open the package and pop them on an acrylic block and get stamping!  They’re already on the cling cushion and EVERYTHING!

• storage – ok I can’t tell you about that yet, have to wait for the boss to do the reveal tomorrow, but let me just say it’s FANTASTIC!

• Key Ingredients bake up endless recipes of sweet results.  I cannot believe how many cards I have already stamped and yet feel I haven’t made a dent in the Key Ingredients packages I got.  They are adorable, so full of possibilities and a great value!  I love having all the coordinated stuff right at my fingertips!

• Cute Cute Cute!  Need I say more?  Wait till you see all three sets in their entirety!  WOW!

Taylor is a wonderful friend and I truly couldn’t be happier to be involved with her and Taylored Expressions/Stamp a Sweet Impression.  If you haven’t already been to her blog today, please hop on over to Taylored Expressions for more info and to the meet the rest of the Baker’s Dozen Senior Team Members.  You’ll want to see what SASI creations everyone has cooked up – I know I do!

Be sure to join me Thursday night/Friday morning for the official release and be ready to order because I have a feeling this stuff will be flying off the shelves!  I’ll have another TE/SASI card ready to share at 9pm Pacific.  In the meantime I’ll just be here bouncing off the walls in anticipation!
