And here are the New goodies for October

Please note ladies that I have slightly changed the way I display the drawings so that you can see all images at the correct angle. I used to display the sets as they were laid out on the carrier sheet, and given that I love to stuff as many stamps into a set as I can, some images appeared at odd angles or even upside down!! From now on everything will be shown right side up, so it will not always be obvious at first glance what size a set is. Please refer to the descriptions as the size is noted there.

Santa's coming to Town

Perfect for adding a little dash of antique to your Christmas preparations. 3 main images, including a delightful cameo of the Big guy himself, a beautifully detailed ornament (which happens to fit perfectly into one of this years 2011 Spellbinders Heirloom Ornaments die templates) and a stylish snowflake, great for focal points or even stamped repeatedly as a background. 6 fun sentiments complete the set.

Candy Jar Christmas

Set size:6 × 8 inches

I absolutely could not have Christmas without Mrs Santa Claus. I don't know if she's big in your house, but we've even had letters from her on occasion. Traditionally (in my house anyhow) Mrs Claus runs the confectionary side of things up North and can be found in the kitchen making candy canes, gingerbread cookies and all of those associated goodies. This Candy jar Christmas set pays homage to her skills. Featuring a ready filled jar of peppermint candy, this large set has all manner of stamps to help you sugar up your Christmas prep. Build a wish list, stamp approval, sweeten your tags and cards with peppermint magic! Mrs Claus herself is there too, a tasteful cameo of the great lady, styled to match Mr Claus in the Santa's coming to Town set.

The circular sentiments are easily punched out with a 1.5 inch punch or a similar sized circle die.
A companion set to Candy Jar Fillers, if 'sweet' is your thing, you can go candy crazy this year!

In the bottom left of the graphic, you can see how easy it is to build a notebook style image - use it with the sentiments to make lists, Recipe, wish list, things to do....whatever tickles...

The filled jar measures just under 2 inches wide by just under 3 inches tall. The 'sweet shoppe' sentiment measures 2.18 inches wide by just under a third of an inch tall..

Candy Jar Christmas

Set size:6 × 8 inches

A companion set to Candy Jar Christmas!

Of course one jar was never going to be enough for me...I have a sweet tooth! So, this toothsome set contains one empty jar and enough fillers to stock a small store, peppermint candy sticks, canes, balls and gingerbread men! A official Mrs Santa Claus label, a bow, two styles of jar lid, 10 sentiments and 4 little supporting goodies! Fill 'em up!

This set also features a little line stamp - you can see it there on the bottom - it just looks like a curved line, but this handy doodad, is just the finish you need, should you wish your jar to be left open, for example if you decide to stamp the oversized candy canes in the jar, see our examples, and my blog for directions with this.

The jar plus lid measures around just under 2 inches wide by just under 3 inches tall when stamped. The single gingerbread man is just over 1.5 inches tall by just under an inch wide.

Nordic Winter

Set size:6 × 8 inches

A Nordic themed stamp set. Are you a fan of Scandinavian design? I am, I love the simple shapes, clean cut images, and I especially love them in knitted items. We took extra care to ensure that when you stamp with this set, you will achieve a realistic knitted texture, each tiny 'stitch' is shaped to recreate that home knit feeling. A great set for experimenting with, stamping borders in various combinations and colours and creating your own borders with one of the 8 accompanying motif stamps. Or simply use one of the motifs stamped simply to quickly create striking, minimal tags and cards. The borders in this set are extra long as usual, the shortest being 6.29 inches long. easily long enough to stamp a full length border on a standard (US 4.25x5.5inch) card without having to repeat.

The double heart border measures 6.29 inches wide by 0.62 inches tall. The single reindeer is 0.93 inches square.
