And you know these are going to match my favorite dies...don't you??
ED- I'll pick one random commenter tomorrow night! Please only post once! :)
OK ladies, I think it's time for a random giveaway - this one will run until tomorrow, Saturday night and it's for 2 free sets from the upcoming release. (I will also be running a grand competition during the release, deets for that once the samples begin on Sunday).
What I want to know is....what type of stamper are you? - you can choose from this list, or pick your own word, but please use only one word to describe yourself - this is agony I know, and I like to think I have more than one string to my bow, but for my word I will pick...'Clean'
Here are some suggestions, pick one or use your own and post your definition of your fave stamping style here!
Clean
Vintage
Shabby-chic
(see how I turned that into one word by using the hyphen?)
Contemporary
Magpie
Fussy
Experimental
Cute
Am torn between clean and contemporary but settled on :
ReplyDeleteClean
Thanks for the chance to win some of your lovely sets Claire xxx Fingers crossed.
Fresh!
ReplyDeleteI would say I'm eclectic. I am so inspired by all the different designers on the 'net that I try to emulate many different styles. Also, my style depends on my mood for that day. I like clean & simple when I'm fussy and want a quick card, or when I'm feeling especially creative, I'll go layered and lumpy!
ReplyDeleteClean - most of the time I like simple, fresh, to the point designs. Either the focal point (image) or sentiment has to stand out for me.
ReplyDeleteDon't get me wrong, I love embellishments but usually only opt for one to three additions to the card...anything more than that and I feel quickly overwhelmed.
last-minute
ReplyDeleteClean! Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteLoving all the peeks do far, Claire!
ReplyDeleteI would define my stamping style as contemporary.
I love bright colors, bold patterns and unexpected color combinations.
Laid-back
ReplyDeleteclean
ReplyDeletelinear
ReplyDeleteOnly one word eh? I would have to say 'Balanced' - I really like cards that have a sense of balance and symmetry to them. Thanks so much for the chance to win Claire! I am excited for this release!! :)
ReplyDeleteWhile I try new things, I think I'm a clean and simple stamper.. I layer, I emboss, I do venture out... but I always come back to simplicity because organized simplicity is always my goal in life I think!
ReplyDeleteLove your sneak peeks...
HOw can I pick only one? I like a little of everything!!
ReplyDeleteIf pressed, I guess I would say Shabby-hyphen-chic.
My second choice would be clean.
*wink*
I can't WAIT to see this release, Claire!! I feel like it's been forever since we saw one from you!
I'm going to go with experimental. I'm still trying to figure out a style, but I kind of have the feeling that I never actually will. I like all the different styles out there and I love trying them out and seeing how the feel/fit.
ReplyDeleteHi :-)
ReplyDeleteI am definately a "last-minute" stamper. The more time pressure there is, the better it's going. :o)
xx Kathi
just one word? definitely messy ;)
ReplyDeleteOk, I would say I am Clean-collage: I love the collage look for my cards but I want my sentiments to be clean looking...me - in a nut shell ;)
ReplyDeleteAquisitional - When I see what is new out there, I want it! When I buy embellishments, I am reluctant to use them, for fear I may not find them again. If I see a cute card sample, gotta find the supplies. Wow, this is a strange description, but one that fits me! Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteOh I love it when you make stamps to match dies. I'm such a sucker for frames/labels!!
ReplyDeleteMy style, for the most part, my cards are Clean.
Simple Stamper, that's me! I've not been stamping long so I've lots to learn :)
ReplyDeleteFAST !!!
ReplyDeleteI am currently trying to build up a collection of cards to sell for Tearfund's 'Make Life Flow' campaign, and I am making them in batches of 4 at a time !
Lovin' the sneaky peeks !! Thanks for the opportunity to win !
I consider myself to be a 'clean' stamper!
ReplyDeleteChoose one word, thats a difficult one. I think my style changes with my mood. But I probably err tward 'clean'.
ReplyDeleteUncluttered.
ReplyDeleteExperimental!
ReplyDeleteOk, I hate to admit this but the one that jumped out at me was fussy. I have just a wee bit of a perfectionist streak in me. Drives me crazy when I see something on my card that is just slightly askew.
ReplyDeleteAs for the peek today - a houndstooth label frame??!! Be still my heart!
Layered
ReplyDeleteOh dear do I have to go with just one lol! OK Magpie sounds about right, picking up ideas here there and everywhere. Or is that jackdaws?
ReplyDeleteAnne

Waiting impatiently to see the new releases
Non-foofy. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is tough!! But I think I tend to be:
ReplyDeleteMixed!!
I don't have a definite style - I like to play! Can't wait to see the samples!
Vintage
ReplyDeleteI'll have to go with experimental - I don't think I have a style yet, it's so much fun trying different ones! Thanks for the chance to win. Ger x.
ReplyDeleteClean! I love CAS but haven't mastered the Simple part yet. I also love to add a touch of whimsy!
ReplyDeleteSimple
ReplyDeleteJust 'Gerdine' - style??? :) Well, that's a combination of different styles!
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm mostly experimental. I usually don't like to make the same thing twice. Thanks for the awesome giveaway Claire! ;-}
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely:
ReplyDeleteCLEAN
Or at least I try to be. LOL Can't wait to see the new release!
I would say "classic", although I'm not really sure what that would mean, LOL!
ReplyDeleteI'm experimental I think!!!
ReplyDeleteMary Poutou
PoutouM@piraeusbank.gr
Clean.
ReplyDeleteClean all the way. No tea-dying or distressed edges for me. Can't wait to see all your sets!
ReplyDeleteVaried
ReplyDeleteExperimental...
ReplyDeleteDefinately Chaotic!!! I get on a tangent and there are stamps and blocks and ink pads everywhere until I get the exact look I'm looking for. In the wake of this creative surge there are always casualties - lost dies, the safety pin stamp etc.
ReplyDelete"Random" because it depends on how I'm feeling, what stamp I'm using, what colours, inspired by other people on the web, loads of different factors. Can't wait to see the samples of the new sets, I'm very intrigued by the sneak peeks. It feels like forever since the last release.
ReplyDeleteClean!
ReplyDeleteHugs from Anne-Elise
wow is this hard. I guess as of lately I am a cute kind of girl.
ReplyDeleteThe only word that came straight to my mind was:-
ReplyDeleteEasy
don't / can't do complicated!
Thanks for the chance to win these fabby stamps.
Jo x
Hmmm...so hard to pick ONE WORD!! :)
ReplyDeleteUncomplicated.
Thank you SO MUCH for a chance to win!!!! The peeks are looking fantastic! Can't wait to see them in full! :)
Since the word 'novice' isn't on there, I'll go for clean!
ReplyDelete"Cute". I almost always add some cute details, to get a happy card.Thats what I most like.
ReplyDeleteSlow. It takes me forever to finish one card!
ReplyDeleteI like several different styles: vintage, shabby-chic, cute, soft and feminine or bright and cheerful. I don't know that Magpie is though. lol
ReplyDeleteI'm varied!!!
ReplyDeleteLoving all the peeks!!!
My word would have to be 'challenged' because I love to use sketch challenges to help get the ideas flowing. Kx
ReplyDeleteExperimental. That may be cheating because in my mind the word could cover a lot of territory. I love trying new techniques be they cute, fussy, vintage… Well, you see where I’m headed. Yes, I am experimental.
ReplyDeletethe type who is usually making BELATED (or very last-minute) cards!!
ReplyDeleteCK.
Sporadic!
ReplyDeleteExperimental-magpie? Gotta love the hyphen!
ReplyDeleteOne word. . . Magpie!
If I can pick my own word, then I'll say I am RANDOM.
ReplyDeleteI try to be CAS and make it sometimes, but other times I add a whole lot of activity to the card before I can stop myself. I am trying to embrace my flaws, otherwise I'd say my word is MESS. ;)
I have gotten quite a kick of out reading everyone's responses (and of the sneak peeks- can't wait for Feb 29!) My style would be cute.
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm contemporary but I think a better word is nervous! I'm afraid I won't get the right impression on my project!
ReplyDeleteMixed, sporadic, random, clean..... Oh, I wish I knew myself!!! Wait, did you say one word, lol! Another fun sneak!
ReplyDeleteRobin
Meticulous!!!!
ReplyDeleteClean
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha ha that´s really hard, but then I think, I´ll havae to say cute-vintage he he .
ReplyDeleteOhhh, fun contest but I have no idea how to describe me, lol. I'll go with.... linear-layered (the hyphen makes it count as one word, right?? :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a difficult one for me. I guess I'd be a vintagy-shabby-chicist type, but it's mostly whatever comes to mind!!
ReplyDeleteFor one word only....
ReplyDeleteClean
Would so love to win some of your lovely stamps Claire!
Hi, Claire,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance of winning!
I'd describe my style as 'experimental'. I'm hugely influenced by what I see from other crafters and like to try out different techniques and maybe add my own twist to them.
Looking forward to seeing all the new stamps. Thanks, again. :D
Muddled!
ReplyDeleteone word... Will have to be 'addicted' then! looking forward to seeing the lovely new stamps. Thanks for the chance to win
ReplyDeletePerfectionist!
ReplyDeleteAlthough my family call me a Magpie as I hoard pretty, shiney things in case they come in handy for a project!
Loving the peeks and thank you for the chance to win some of the new stamps.
Lynn Wild
Simple
ReplyDeleteFeminine
ReplyDeleteartistic
ReplyDeleteClean!
ReplyDeleteToo many choices! But I keep coming back to above all - clean.
ReplyDeletehmmm, Natural!
ReplyDeletewhat a fabulous prize...in a word, I'm
ReplyDeleteecletic!! LOL
I was going to say "clean", because that is my favorite style. But I do tend to dabble in some other styles, so I think I'll go with experimental. Loving all the new peeks!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely linear.
ReplyDeleteLoving the samples we've seen so far and looking forward to seeing all the new sets.
I would have to say clean, can't wait for the release!
ReplyDeleteClean! You know, less is best.
ReplyDeleteVintage (because of my age) :)
ReplyDeleteand minimalist shabby-chic
i try my best to keep my stamping clean and simple. i tend to over-think and over-do-it, so i force myself to hold back when i stamp. :)
ReplyDeleteReally hard to choose one but I'm going to borrow the term 'eclectic' from Maureen.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving all the peeks and can't wait to see more :)
Hmmmm....I'm going to say mixed bag. I can be CAS as well as shabby-chic. I also like clean and modern as well as romantic. I guess it's whatever strikes my mood at the time.
ReplyDeleteLinda
I think that word is CLEAN - simple style :->
ReplyDeleteUp until lately I've been pretty clean, but now I've started experimenting more, so who knows what will come from that!? ;-)
ReplyDeleteClean
ReplyDeleteSimple--I like clean lines and simple to make.
ReplyDeleteMagpie
ReplyDeleteShabby-chic
ReplyDeletedifficult to choose just one word.....but would have to say CLEAN! looking forward to this release! laura j
ReplyDeleteI think I'm esoteric. Usually I'm, er..., classic... I just stamp and color with Copics (and soon the Distress Markers!) but I try to use other techniques occasionally (like those Tim Holtz shows on his tags). LOVE the new herringbone! Just finished the second season of Sherlock with cutie pie Benedict Cumberbatch.
ReplyDeleteI would have to say:
ReplyDelete"case-y",
that is, I love to look at and then C.A.S.E. other people's work. Suits me, don't you think? Looking forward to your new release! :)
This is a tough one...but when I read through everyone's comments so far the one that jumped out to me was Nerina's uncluttered and I think I would like to borrow her style and use it as my own. Not a surprise since I love everything that Nerina does.
ReplyDeleteI'd say I am a clean stamper!
ReplyDeletePenny
Particular :)
ReplyDeleteLol at magpie.....DEFINITELY attracted to shiny things....
ReplyDeleteLast minute and messy....
But the word that best describes me as a stamper is CONTENT .... Now matter how if I'm playing with paper I'm happy...
I think I would say "cute!"
ReplyDeleteThe sneak peeks have been so much fun, can't wait for Sunday!
Chris L.
I'm mostly clean :-D
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
Loving all the sneaks, Claire! Ohhh...just one word?? I guess maybe "CUTE"??
ReplyDeletePerhaps not every card, but I think that sums it up. That's my nickname too for a long time...but now I'm too old to use it hehe. This is FUN!! Thanks!
I'm going to have to go with Experimental - goodness, I'd be here all night if I were to try coming up with my own word! I like to try new techniques, and different styles ~ maybe eclectic? I'll make vintage, clean and simple, just about anything :) . Enjoying your peeks!
ReplyDeleteI'd have to say Experimental . . . I like to try new things, new techniques and styles. And I do a little bit of everything from vintage to clean and simple. Anything is fair game!
ReplyDeleteEnjoying the peeks, Claire :)
two words...old school.
ReplyDeleteI've been stamping for 20 years. I still heat emboss, make stamped backgrounds(there were no great DP when I started),no ribbons or buttons, lots of coloring etc.
The new release looks fantastic. I can't wait.
Orderly. What a word, but my cards tend to line up, are evenly spaced, logical. Wish I was more shabby-chic as I love that style, but it is like pulling teeth for me to make that type of card. Thanks for the chance to win some of your fabulous new stamps.
ReplyDeleteThese peeks have been a lot of fun! I'd say I'm mostly a clean stamper, although I do like to dabble in the others too!
ReplyDeleteOh my god, one word only... I love simple things but I also really like trying my hands at new techniques so I would say experimental!
ReplyDeleteThnaks for the wonderful opportunity to win some of your new sets ( can''t wait to see them)
Anne-Laure
I'll have to say cute. Although clean is the style I usually use - because it's typically faster and time is short, cute is the descriptor because those are the stamp images I am drawn too the most.
ReplyDeleteContemporary with a little experimental thrown in.
ReplyDeletecraftymom205 at yahoo dot com
I would have to say my style is "fussy-clean"! Thanks, Claire!
ReplyDeleteMy style is Shabby-Chic. I do like other styles but that is the one that comes naturally to me.
ReplyDeleteI would say "FUN"!!!
ReplyDeleteshabby-vintage! See how I made that one word by using a hyphen?!
ReplyDeleteLoved reading this post! I'm going to go with a fairly generic "contemporary". Looking forward to the upcoming release!
ReplyDeleteClean, definitely
ReplyDeleteMocking-bird!!
ReplyDelete(Which means I copy other people, but do something different to make it my own:-)
Love the sneek peeks: can't wait!!!
Eclectic! I will do or try just about anything! I like options and variety. I enjoy many styles and translate that into my own unique one! Claire, your stamps are phenomenal! Thanks for the chance to win some! :)
ReplyDelete{hugs}
Regan
Clean... ;)
ReplyDeleteMine is clean...
ReplyDeleteI love all types of stamping ,but i would have to say my word would be.
ReplyDeleteMulti-functional
Clean and simple - I don't like too many emellies and I do like white space! Don't always achieve it but I try!
ReplyDeleteI def. dont have a definite style im more of an Eclectic gal. I like shabby meets clean with a touch of vintage. I guess that makes me experimental but I def. have a preference to certain styles lol
ReplyDeletegot to be
ReplyDeletecopy-cat
with a twist
I would choose clean. It is so hard for me to pile things onto my cards. I like a basic design with focus on the image.
ReplyDeleteI'd have to say "clean" for the stamping style....however I tend to end up very "inky"!
ReplyDeleteVintage! Loving the sneak peeks :-)
ReplyDeleteEclectic. I certainly do not just have one style. I like to evoke different styles, feelings, eras on different projects and use many different types of elements in my designs...I can be all over the place, LOL!
ReplyDeleteExperimental :)
ReplyDeleteI definately play about with my stamps and see what uses I can find for them besides the obvious :)
Vintage
ReplyDeleteExperimental!
ReplyDeleteMine would be:
ReplyDeleteClean
Don't always stick to that, but that is what I always love the most!
Hugs, Wendy
I am a VINTAGE and EXPERIMENTAL stamper. For sure, not fast and simple, I like the process of creating.
ReplyDeleteI'd have to say
ReplyDeleteCLEAN but some of the posters
mentioned perfectionist....well, I'd like to be that but sadly don't think I am/will be so clean will have to do for me....and your stamps always stamp cleanly anyhow.
Contemporary!
ReplyDeleteMine is;
ReplyDeleteclean-vintage style.
Love old soft colors...but just am not able to put many things on my cards ..love it..but just don't know how..it always looks too much..there for clean.
Clean
ReplyDeleteeclectic....
ReplyDeletemade up of elements selected from various sources
Clean
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win!
Hugs
Carola
I would say fussy and cute (if it's alright to choose two !). Thank you so much for giving us the chance to win one of your sets. I found your shop a few weeks ago and I have already purchased three sets and I must say that the quality of your stamps and the designs are second to none ! Keep them coming please ! Have a great day Sweetie ! Hugs, blessings and love from Catherine
ReplyDeletePlayful
ReplyDeleteLove the peeks!!
vintage!
ReplyDeleteECLECTIC, most definitely!
ReplyDelete(or as my m-in-l puts it "fickle as a fart in a windstorm!"
she would know, as she is the most frequent recipient of my cards ;-p
Sandy in Epping
I was going to say experimental, but in reading through the comments I SO totally agreed with the previous poster who said acquisitional. There are so many supplies that I just had to get because of something online, but now can't remember their original purpose! Oh well, I'll never run out of supplies! Definitely getting ready to place a big order at release - loving the peeks.
ReplyDeleteProbably fussy because I love to fussy cut everything. Something soothing about manipulating the paper and using scissors. Can't wait for the release, and thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI am going to go with clean and cute even though I am inspired to try other looks once in a while.
ReplyDeleteI'd have to say I'm a 'dabbler'. I putter about with my products with indecisive agony. As a result, when a project needs to be finished it's a dash to the last minute. Thank you and looking forward to the release!
ReplyDeleteSimple.
ReplyDelete"Colorful." Not necessarily bright in color, but my fave card is a breath of fresh air in the color scheme, image, and sentiment to both the recipient and myself.
ReplyDeleteWannabe is all I can say. I see so many great ideas and can't ever get one to look good enough to me.
ReplyDeleteUncluttered is my word. I like stuff but not too over the top. I love your sets and use them all the time. Keep up the good work. If you ever come to the states, I have a craft room and two extra bedrooms. And lots of toys for younger crowd!
ReplyDeleteOne word is so hard but I would have to go with 'magpie' because I pick bits up from everywhere. The peeks look great Claire.
ReplyDeleteMessy! I remember making a Halloween card with the WM Hallowen Party set & after I finished it I realized I had accidentally stamped the witch on my cheek!!!!
ReplyDeleteModern-vintage. That's a cool word/style coined by Kelly. I think that is me in a "nutty" shell. Lol. Thank heavens for hyphens by the way.
ReplyDeleteExperimental leaning towards clean!
ReplyDeleteUncluttered…don't like TOO many embellishments on my cards!
ReplyDeleteSimple..
ReplyDeleteI still have lots to learn. But do love all your stamps sets and am getting my stash up lol
Vintagey, love the old fashioned worn, torn look of anything. The more embellishments, the better for me. Love the mouse!!!
ReplyDeleteMy word would be "inky!" - always seem to have it on my fingers, hands and that's before I get out the distress inks!!!!!
ReplyDeleteEclectic
ReplyDeleteI shamelessly stole this idea from Maureen! That way we can have it all, and still use only one word! LOL
I don't know if I have a "style". I'm always trying new things so I guess you could say experimental. I think I don't put to much thought into putting a label on it and just go with what feels right. Maybe that could be classified as organic? :) Thank you for a chance to win. I simply adore Waltzingmouse!
ReplyDeleteHi everyone
ReplyDeleteI think the word is: addicted! ;-)
Layered - I absolutely love having loads of layers on my cards!
ReplyDeleteClean.
ReplyDeleteCheers!
I'd have to call my "style" balanced or structured. I love using sketches-everything in its place. This is not to be confused with my craft space which is anything but structured or organized. Looking forward to a great release!
ReplyDeleteClean.
ReplyDeleteClean
ReplyDeleteGrungy!!! (I hope that's how you spell messy, inky and mega distressed- the card not me!!)
ReplyDeleteEclectic.
ReplyDeleteCute
ReplyDelete:)
Currently my style is: changing. I have always been a fun and cute stamper, but lately I'm being drawn to more vintage, natural, and even shabby-chic style stamps and products. I was such an avid fun and cute gal and it just seems so strange that I can now be interested in something that is so different from that style. It's been an interesting creative time for me.
ReplyDeleteHa ha! Figures the first time I don't check back is a competition! I know it's closed but I love the stamps that match the dies. I am a clean and simple stamper, I'd like to be more involved but just don't have that kind of leisure time. Off to catch up on the blog.
ReplyDelete
