Welcome Springtime Blog Candy!


Here's a preview of my new "Honeycomb" stamp and stencil. I want to encourage Mother Nature to get with the program and send some beautiful springtime weather to my friends in The Netherlands who are DONE with Winter. This stamp measures 3 3/4" x 3 3/4". The stemcil is 6" x 6". They will be available soon in the Whimsy section of my online catalog. Leave a comment here and you may be chosen the lucky winner of this stamp and stencil set.

    I love this card and just have to have the stamp and stencil! I love the focus on honeycombs lately - maybe it will bring focus to the plight of the bees. Their future is our future!
    Michael - I have a ton of your stamps and I absolutely love them! This is no exception!

    Michael, I am really excited to see if the size you chose and the size of the SU artwork is the same or even close. I am in Roxy's downline and I love what you do; I combine a lot from the two companies. Can't wait to get my hands on the stamp! Thanks for another great stamp with endless possibilities!
