I am torn between Halloween party and very vintage christmas!! I am eager to see all the stamps for each set.

Maybe I'll win this time... I was ALL excited yesterday.... as my name is Lee... but then I realized that it was not what I wrote, and that I actually come up as Katrynka, cause that is my google account name!

Katrynka/Lee,please email me after the release to let me know what set you'd like as your free gift!!


Hello and welcome to the final day of samples before release tomorrow (Sunday) when I will open the selling on the 4 new clear stampsets I've been showing samples of all week! Today's competition question is at the bottom of the post!!

I will be closing the online store this evening to update the products, it will re-open again tomorrow morning for the release!!

Today I have a really dinky wee set to show you. It started of life as a little doodle I did of my biggest daughter, she's my wee angel!! It expanded into a stampset featuring a little girl figure that can be customized using various accessories.

She can be an angel - there are FOUR sets of wings in TWO sizes! She can be a flower girl or bridesmaid - there's a floral garland that she can hold. She can sow seeds of love and friendship from her little seed bag or pocket or she can be a little girl skipping happily - she has a skipping rope too!!

The card above show's her with two tiny wings and the floral garland. She has a tiny bow in her hair that you can colour to match her outfit!!

She's happy in spring, summer, winter or fall and she is ideal for colouring in and paper piecing. The wings are very detailed and although I coloured all my samples with copics without any problem I could see that certain wings will suit the sharp point of a colouring pencil.

There are so many possibilities and, as with all of the sets I've previewed this week, I feel like I have just scratched the surface, I can't wait to see what other folks do with this!!



In this card she's a christmas angel, with paperpieced red dress (pattern and sentiment stamped with the border stamp in the new Very Vintage Christmas set also releasing tomorrow) I used a pair of larger wings, a sort of paper doily design with a stitched heart at the centre. I drew a short pencil line through her hand and stuck a start shaped shiny bling thing at the end of it for a wand!


This is going to be a fab set to make encouragemet cards for my girls with - In the card above I made her skip by arranging the skipping rope border stamp into a curve, making sure the handles were going to match up with her hands. It leaves a nice area to stamp a sentiment in. Did you notice how I changed her dress? There's a handy wee stamp that allows you to change her plain dress into a top and smock pinafore!! How cool is that for changing between formal and csual wear!! lol.


I'm partial to this lovely simple golden angel sowing seeds of love and kindness from her little seed bag! the bag is a separate stamp and is surprisingly easy to line up. This angel has two little paper doily wings. I love the fall colours of this card.


And guess what else you can make!!!! Butterflies. Each wing is a separate stamp as is the butterfly body. Custom butterflies!!!
