2017 December Collection Preview - Day 1

Hello!  Emily Montenaro here - I hope you enjoyed the inspiring projects from our guest designers this past week.  I'm back today to share the previews for our December Collection!  I am filling in this month for Linda who is away getting married in Australia!  

Ok - let's get on with the PREVIEWS!

YOU'RE THE COOLEST

Today's previews feature a fun stamp set called "You're the Coolest".  It includes 18 stamps in total with four adorable penguins being the main images.  It is the perfect stamp set for wintery cards as well as for the holidays and birthdays.   

Let's have a look at what our designers have come up with.

First is this adorable holiday design from Melissa.  This penguin is so cute and happy!  Melissa stamped the eight-point star from the set and added twinkle stickers in the centers for the perfect touch!

To view more of Melissa's designs, please visit her blog.

Next up is this fun penguin in his cozy sweater!  I love how Emily die cut the snowflake on the front of the card and stamped the penguin inside peeking through the snowflake.

If you look closely at the next penguin's feet, you'll see ice skates!  Making scenes with these cuties is easy with the matching die set and Ilina used it here to die cut the penguin for added dimension.  We will also be offering the digital cut file for this set!   

Here's a closer view - our snowflakes stamp set goes perfectly with the penguins:

This last penguin is perfect for birthday cards!  And Lisa used the peppermint swirl stamp for an awesome background!

I hope you enjoyed today's previews! I'll be back tomorrow with MORE previews so be sure to visit.

Thanks for visiting!

I like the clear photopolymer for exact stamping...but I'll never pass up a good rubber stamp!
Cute penguin set!

[Jean Marmo]

I prefer the clear but make the rubber ones work! Thanks for the inspiratioN!

[Becca Yahrling]

Very cute cards! I love penguins, so adorable!
I prefer the clear so that you can see where you are
stamping; plus they are less bulky & easier to store.

[Arianna Barbara]

Awww!!! How cute!!! Love these adorable cards!
I prefer clear photopolymer stamps!!!

[Esther]

Cute stamps and cards!!
I think rubber stamps have a cleaner more precise impression, but clear stamps are much easier to store and organize.

[Sue LD]

How cute are these penguins. I like stamping with rubber stamps but like the clear ones when you need to see to line things up.

[Amy Cooley]

Clear photopolymer is my favorite. Thanks! The penguins are adorable.

[Denise Bryant]

Cutest penguins ever on all of these delightful cards!
Rubber is my preference, definitely!

[Adrienne Donze]

My daughter LOVES penguins and even though she is now the mom of four kids, she still decorates with them and loves getting cards, etc., with them all over the place.
I'd love to own this fun set. I can see using it for things other than the holidays, too.
Great designing!

[Cynthia]

Love both, but if I had to pick one, it would be clear due to storage. But rubber is awesome too!

[Jodi C.]

These penguins are so adorable, along with all of the creations 😊💖! I really do love the layering possibilities of Clear stamps.... but I still like rubber too! Thank You!

[Linda Meunier]

The penguins are adorable! My preference is clear! !!

[Starqueen]

Oh, This stamp set is the coolest! My preference is the stamp image I like...and stamps that I can use in my MISTI! So photopolymer and unmounted rubber are both good!👏🏻

[Nance in Reno]

Rubber! The best for clean lines although polymer is much better than before.

[Ann]

I don't have a preference for stamping. Clear is easier to store & usually cheaper, so I buy them for the price.

[Kel Habicht]

i love the clear stamps. its great being able to know exactly where you are stamping!

[Jennifer Archambault]

Those penguins and snowflakes! Too cute! I am finding that I prefer the clear polymer stamps now. They are easier to store and are much easier to see through when doing precision stamping. Thanks for sharing your inspiration with us!

[Marjorie DUMONTIER]

These penguins are the most adorable !! And I’m definitely a rubber stamper ! margessw@icloud.com

[Mary Holshouser]

I prefer the clear photopolymer stamps. You can see
placement better but I'll be use any of the stamps.
Have lots of both kinds.
Great cards today.
thanks for sharing.

[Pat Johnson]

I like both, but clear is so much easier to store and stamp multiple images. Love amuse stamps for a long time now!

[Anne Lee]

I prefer clear photopolymer nowadays to make batches of cards precisely, but grew up buying and collecting rubber stamps so have a soft spot for them!!

[Susan Jojamsson]

Love my Amuse stamps! I would love to try the clear stamp.

[Ariadna A. Santander]

The penguins are lovely! I love the adorable bespectacled bird!

I like the clear photopolymer stamps, mostly because I have so much more space for stamps! I do cling (no pun intended ;-) ) to my wood stamps because of sentimental value - plus I love the texture of the wood and the ink stains that come from use...
