We pride ourselves on being great hosts, but guests have limited access to some of our incredible artwork, our lively forums and other super cool features of the site! You can join our incredible papercrafting community at NO COST. So what are you waiting for?
Here's my question: What is your process for designing a set? I am just in awe at your amazing creative talent on paper and now you're a digital guru!!Move over Martha....oh when you get your own television show, can I be a guest?
I usually get inspired by something first, an ad in a magazine, a piece of fabric, etc. I then do a little scetching on paper of roughly what I would like to include, think about sentiments, etc. I shop for a font that coordinates with the look I am going for. Fonts are SO important to me! They can set the tone for the entire set. I have been known to spend 4 or 5 hours going through fonts online, just to find the *perfect* one! After the font is choosen, I then design all of the images on the computer.

I was SCARED, so I just went ahead and ordered the 2 new sets, already had Little Lady, Extra Jumbo Scalloped Oval punch, White CS in the cart, so I just had to put in the new sets and complete the purchase! PHEW! Paid for.....DONE! I'll go back and get the other stuff later, I'm sure it can add up to $40 QUICKLY again!
Man, this is the most fun I've had in a long time :-) I'm going to wait 5 min. and then go to PT, hopefully all the pain and suffeing will be done by then. This is just too much fun!!
If Nichole's still here, I have a question: Do you plan to offer a publication incentive, like a reward for people who get published using your stamps?
Love your stuff, BTW!
Yes, it is something we are currently discussing. I will make this information public on my blog once the details once they have been established.
I will hang around as long as there are more questions to answer, especially since I wasn't able to access the site until almost 11:30!

I forgot all about the flowers...guess all that subliminal stuff about no flowers and the man behind the curtain worked! Oh well, I guess there will be another order soon...
Yes, at least one is. They are the left two boxes on the home page (in case you can't see the graphics). However, the last box on the right - to the bloom basics, doesn't seem to be working.
my husband said i could get the halloween set only if i used it five years in a row. 'sure honey'!! (big puppy dog eyes batting). where the heck did he come up with that question?
this card is the most adorable thing I've ever seen in my life!
Oh so DH says, "Will they sell out of the Halloween, maybe you'd better get it quick!" even though I promised not to spend more this month. I had to admit that they will restock. :( I should have said, "They will sell out, I'd better buy it right now!" But I couldn't lie when he was being so nice...

You will have to be patient for the flowers! They are still uploading. We also need to fix the images for all of the extra product. Be patient with us! It was a lot of schtuff to upload!

You can really tell that you put a lot of thought into your fonts for each set! That is probably one of my favorite things about your sets - the beautiful words and fonts.
Side comment - there have been so many other brands of stamps where I love the images but the words are either illegible or else just don't "match" the style - so I really appreciate all the thought behind your stamp sets!

Well, I forgot all about the flowers. I was so stinkin' excited about ordering the 2 new sets (TOTALLY AWESOME and CUTE) and Tins! LOL!!! Can't wait! Off to bed I go! Have a great evening ladies! Hugs! Ash~ www.ashleyscreativecorner.blogspot.com
