Release Countdown "1" - Giveaway time + new DT member

Hello lovelies!

It's release-countdown week!
That means we're introducing our newest products to you, sharing inspiration and also excitement :)
Countdown "1" means that our new products will be available in the shop tomorrow - yay! 






This month we are releasing four new stamp sets, and it's going to be LOVEly!





Lots of cute critters and also images and sentiments for the more elegant-crafters - I guess there's a favorite set for everyone.


Tomorrow, Friday:      Countdown "0" IGNITION!!!! Sets will be released at 9 am CET (2am EST)

Today's giveaway time, and we're doing it a little different this time.
Instead of having a Rafflecopter you have two chances to win a 15 € Gift Card to our store. :)


1. chance: Comment on this post, telling us what you have planned for Christmas.
2. chance: visit and like our Instagram feed to find out more. (Make sure to follow the rules!)

You have until Saturday 11:59 pm to play along. Both winners - blog and instagram winner - will be announced on sunday :)

Good luck!


We also have some sad and great news to share at the same time. Design Tea member Yoonsun got some new fantastic opportunities at work, but this also means she'll have to cut some crafty time. So we're super sad to say goodbye to her at the end of this year. She's simply amazing and such a great person to work with!


Yoonsun's spot will be filled by a super sweet and talented crafter that most of you probably know. She's been our guest designer twice, she's always supporting us a lot and she's a great cheerleader for her fellow crafters.

The Sweet Angel Johns from My Whole Stampin world will be with us starting in January - YAY! Please give her a warm welcome!

Just in cased you don't know Angel and her blog so far, here are a few examples of her work:





I know Angel brings another style to our team and I know that you'll be inspired by her creations. We're so happy she's joining us!

That's it for now
Thanks for stopping by - have a great day!

  1. We don't have any small kids in our family so Christmas is pretty low key.
    The family will get together this Saturday so the granddaughter can go spend Christmas with her husband's family (switch every year). Christmas Eve I'll probably sit in front of the tree with the house lights off and listen to Christmas music. Christmas Day I'm going out for supper with my daughter and her husband. Kind of miss the hustle and bustle but it's also kind of refreshing. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

  4. What cuties! I think I might need to add them to my collection. I don't celebrate Christmas, so I will be spending lots of quality time in my craft room making cards and quilled flowers. Sorry to see Yoonsun leaving, she will be missed. Welcome Angel, can't wait to see what's in store for us this year!

  8. Adorable and fun designs! And a big welcome to Angel!
    No big plans for Christmas this year. My husband and I both lost our Moms within the last few months, so things will be pretty low key here. My daughter and her boyfriend will come and spend part of the day with us. I have some special decorations that I got from my Mom and I'll be decorating the tree with them in a special memory of her.

  22. I haven't planned anything this Christmas, we'll just see how it goes. My dad took a fall down the stairs to the seller on the 9th and was hospitalised for three day. The doctors say he was lucky, he only (?) has three fractures in the spine. The day after he got home he accidentally took more of the strong medicine than he should and got VERY confused. We have now removed his medicine and only give him what he should have each time. So ever since the 9th I have stayed with him after work. I started on my Christmas cards last night at 8 and hope to do some shopping for Christmas presents on Sunday. He is a lot better now and I can finally relax and I feel that we might celebrate some kind of Christmas - but I have never been this unprepared. I love Christmas! So this Christmas will go as it goes. I'm lucky to have dad still alive! And that is all I need! (It would also be nice with some new stamp sets! ;-) )

  24. Too precious! I especially love the little turtle with the heart shaped shell! I plan on spending Christmas day with my first grand baby, Anderson James, of course his parents and loads of extended family members too. This will be his first Christmas and his little cousin's too and they will be spending it together. It should be a very happy and joyous day celebrating our babies and the Lord Jesus Christ's special day!
