Welcome to Freebie Friday! How many of you get positively giddy over inking up a brand new stamp and applying it to a clean, blank canvas? Even if the outcome isn’t always perfect, the possibility of greatness is always there.
Speaking of giddy, how do you feel about 300 card ideas all in one issue? Beginning Monday, we’ll be spotlighting our latest publication, Stamp It! Cards, Vol. 8. And for the first time ever, this stamptastic issue is 164 pages!
Once again we’re partnering with trends editor Cath Edvalson and the Moxie Fab World blog. Between the two sites, we’ll be featuring some great stamped cards, hosting some fun challenges and giving away some fabulous prize packages.

Even though this issue doesn’t officially go on sale until next Tuesday, June 28, let’s begin the countdown! Lately I’ve been obsessed with kraft cards. Talk about giddy! So here’s three of my favorite kraft cards from Stamp It! Cards:
Julia Stainton's Today & Everyday Card, p. 47
Maile Belles' Hey, Little Lady Card, p. 78
Vanessa Menhorn's Birthday Birdy Card, p. 51
Who’d like to make their own kraft masterpieces? Leave a comment and I’ll pick two winners to take home a copy of Stamp It! Cards, Hero Arts’ Music Background and Skipping Stones Design’s Heartsong set (both in Vanessa’s card). All comments must be received by midnight (MDT) on Sunday, June 26.
Two lucky winners will each take home this stamp prize package!
Happy Friday!

Gorgeous cards. I would love to be inspired by the Stamp It magazine. 300 card ideas…wow
OK, so I was out running errands and taking care of household stuff most of the weekend. No “me” time and no crafting. I was really jonesing for some crafty insipiration and decided to stop by my local bookstore to see if there were any new crafting magazines. Imagine my glee when I saw your new Cards magazine staring back at me from the shelf. I snatched that baby up and ran straight to the register to pay for it, knowing I would get to spend all evening perusing its many pages. Yeah! But then, the evening gets even better. I open your email and find out I can win something? From the girl who just stocked up on kraft card stock, here’s a big ole yippee! I would love, love, love to play with those stamps after checking out all the cool projects in your new publication. But, even if I don’t win, this evening will be so much fun as I dedicate some time to getting crafty ideas. Thanks to al the talented women who submitted and thanks to you for choosing them – I can’t wait to see what you all created. Nighty night…
Love these cards. I can always use more inspiration.
I absolutely love these stamps. My whole family is a long line of performers.
( me and my sister and my aunt) We were allmin song and dance groups that performed all over the place. We are a bunch of little song birds! Lol
Thank you for the chance to take these home!
Love these stamps and the great ideas for kraft!
I love Kraft. When it first came out I couldn’t see what everybody liked about it. Now I get it. I reach for that always now.
