I haven't given this site much love the past few months; I'm much more active on Instagram, so this is a bit like when you spontaneously invite friends over after a dinner out and you feel like you need to apologize for the state of the house. There have already been quite a few visitors leaving comments, and just like the very closest of friends, no one has even mentioned the mess (like the fact that my last post was in February!). :)
Oh my goodness, I was so thrilled to wake up this morning and see Kathy Racoosin's video using my two stamp sets! As usual, she completely blew my mind with what she did. She used her coffee to watercolour paint?! And the end result was so gorgeous, I can't stop looking at it! And I also really want coffee! :)
If you're looking for the stamp sets Kathy used, first of all, thank you so much! I'm so happy people like them, and I have so many more designs to come. I've been doing one set at a time so as not to bring financial ruin to the family, but I will certainly have more made if there is an interest. ;)
The "Moving Sentiments" set (which has the boxes, lamp, tape gun, etc.) is available now in my shop. The "I Heart Books" set will be available there on August 3rd.
If you do follow me on Instagram, you may know that today is our 9th wedding anniversary, and I'm spending the day with my wonderful husband. So, please consider this post a placeholder for a bit later. I know you all understand. xo
Thank you so much for stopping by, and thank YOU, Kathy! <3

ReplyDeleteWhat a fab stamp set ... I would NEVER have thought of using coffee to colour!
Love the stamps! And Kathy's painting with her latte was fun to watch. Never thought about using my coffee to paint. Well, on purpose anyway.
ReplyDeleteWe are remodeling our house, so, even though we will still have the same physical address when we are done, I feel like I am moving! Your stamp set is a much cuter version of all the boxes I've packed!

ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary. I just adore your stamp sets and this is the first I knew about them. Just love how Cathy created such a beautiful scene and her lovely watercoloring. How so interesting that she used her coffee to watercolor and it looks so great. Heading over to follow you on instagram.
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary! I can't wait for 3rd August!! I heart books I heart you too!!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary to you both. I just stopped in from Kathy's page,and how wonderful to see a Canadian stamp maker, there are far to few of you. I really can get into the moving set as I am in the middle of that mess myself LOL. Have bookmarked your site to check later when the dust settles
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary!!! Love your stamp sets :)
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, Happy Anniversary to both you and your husband. I love hearing about new companies, particularly small start ups, so I've bookmarked you and will visit again. The stamp sets Kathy used are fantastic and, of course, she showed them off perfectly. Keep up the good work...and do more of it! ;-) Off to check your YT channel now. Much thanks to Kathy for sending us your way.
ReplyDeleteSo happy to have found you via Kathy Racoosin. I love the Moving Sentiments set. The individual stamps in the set are very versatile and I can think of tons of things to do with them. I think I need it in my stash. Well done - I can't wait to see what else you create in the future!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary and have an awesome day with your husband! Looking forward to following you and watching your business grow!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! What cute stamps and love how Kathy used coffee to watercolor! I'm going to try that too!

ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary to you...have a wonderful day! I saw your stamps on Kathy's blog and oh my goodness, they are so darn adorable! I also checked out your YouTube videos and am impressed by your coloring technique. With two young girls to chase after, I don't do as much coloring as I would like so I browse blogs and admire other's work!
ReplyDeleteI just found you because of Kathy's YouTube channel. Happy anniversary! Love your stamps sets. I'm trying to teach myself to use water colors! I need LOTS of practice? . . . LOL ~Patysue
ReplyDeleteGreat stamps! I learned about them from Kathy's blog, and will now go and thoroughly investigate your blog!

ReplyDeleteI saw someone's card the other day who used the boxes on a card and I wondered where she got it from and voila! I have my answer! Such cute stamp sets! And, I love what Kathy did with them! Who would have thought to paint with their coffee! I bet the paper smells good too!

ReplyDeleteLove your stamps!!! It's always nice to learn of "new to me" stamps!!
ReplyDeleteLove these cards and stamps. I love how they coordinate and are packing since my husband and I spent 26 years traveling with the Military. I would have never thought to use coffee for a base how cool!
ReplyDeleteThese stamp sets are so original! It would almost make moving fun! Looking forward to seeing more of your deigns! Coffee for watercoloring! Great idea from Kathy!

ReplyDeleteI like your stamps sets and what Kathy had done with them. Happy Anniversary.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter is a book lover so I am crazy for the book stamp. I could make some sweet cards for her with that stamp set. Congrats on your anniversary, too! :D
ReplyDeleteThis is just awesome and fun and just so real. Kathy did a great job coloring!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! I love the stamps! The awesome Laurel Beard came to mind as she makes her big move.
ReplyDeleteAnd Kathy's coloring with coffee! Shut up!!!! Love it!!
It took me a minute to realize, when I read that Kathy said she was coloring with Starbuck's, that it was WITH the coffee. I thought she was coloring ON the cup, like she did last holiday season. lol I couldn't figure out what, on the card, came from the cup. Sometimes my brain doesn't click in quick enough.
ReplyDeleteCute stamps! Congrats. And happy anniversary!
So fun seeing someone create a card with my drink of choice! I love how it turned out.
ReplyDeleteWho knew?! Coloring with coffe! So exiting to see the scene come to life! I so enjoyed watching. Thank you

ReplyDeleteGorgeous stamps. I LOVE the reading girl set. Can't wait to snag one in Aug!!
ReplyDeleteI love your stamp sets -- they are sweet and unique! So clever to paint with a latte, of course I'd drink it all before I got around to watercoloring with it! Thank you for the opportunity to win a set!
ReplyDeleteTotal craziness between you & Kathy!! Coloring with coffee totally blew my mind...I don't drink coffee but my husband does..maybe I'll ask him to leave a little leftover in his cup so I can try my hand at this!
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary lovely stamp, will watch u in Instagram
ReplyDeleteThe coloring with the coffee reminds me of when I accidently dip my brush in my teacup! What fun. Cute stamps and great coloring!
