I am having so much fun with my Elzybells stamps! We have been hard at work "behind the scenes" as we get ready to unveil all 68 images tomorrow.
Here are a few answers to some of your questions.
Q. Are these stamps wood mounted?
A. Yes. They are made right here in North America by our current manufacturer. The stamps will be deep-etched red rubber on a contoured wood-mount.
Q. What's a girl to do if there is no LSS nearby?
A. We really do encourage you to support your local LSS and many of our current stores have orders en route. If you do not have an LSS nearby, you will have an option to purchase these sweet images online over at the Elzybells NA blog.
Q. How can I join the Elzybells Design Team?
A. At present, the Elzybells Design Team is full. Emily is the Elzybells DT coordinator. If you would like to be considered for a Guest Designer spot or a future DT position, please contact her. Before you do, it would be helpful to put together a short backgrounder on yourself that tells about your stamping experience and why you are interested in either of these positions. And, be sure to include samples of your *best* work as well as a link to your blog or online gallery.
Q. When?!!!
A. Tomorrow.
===============================================
'OK already... enough yapping! Show us the cards!"
Well, OK, since you asked....
Here are a few fast and easy cards I made with these sweet stamps.
I *heart* this skater. It reminds me of growing up in Quebec and skating on the lake with my cousins (36 of them!!) It's a good thing that it is a big lake... you could always find a peaceful spot.
Elzybells stamps work great with A Muse images. If you haven't yet added the Birch trees stamp to your collection, what are you waiting for?!! It is the *most* versatile stamp and is my new favorite! Here the trees are stamped in Encore Ultimate Metallic Blue and they looks almost ethereal.
Do you see how nicely this Stable Scene stamp fits in the Giga Scallop Rectangle punch? This would be a super easy card to make for the holidays - less than 5 steps total! You can't see this too well in the photo but I added Diamond glitter to the stars (thats' one of the fives steps).
I'm telling you, it is so easy to make great cards in a matter of minutes with these stamps, A Muse notecards and a bit of ribbon. This card took less than 5 minutes. Sweet!
Be sure to check out the Elzybells NA Blog tomorrow!
Too cute Linda! Am I right to assume that you will be carrying them at the retail store in Greenwood?

They are daring & I look forward to seeing all the images! I like how they work so well with A Muse stamps.

I love these stamps. Another question...will you be carrying them in themes you can use all year long and I can order them from you. Please say yes.

That pucker up stamp is too cute. The simplicity of these stamps make them so charming.
