Saturday Showcase of Cards

Can you believe it is that time again already?  Another Satuday Showcase!  This time the design team did not have a theme, but rather got to choose whatever kind of card they would like to make.  Maybe that will give us more of a glimpse into their personality?! 
I wanted to let everyone know that I did get a big shipment of Pixie stamps in last week, and am awaiting another shipment that should be here very soon, with the new stamps from ArTish, and Lisa Schmidt along with several of the other Pixie illustrators!!

New Stamps and a New Illustrator!!

I am excited to announce the addition of another new artist to The Pixie Cottage, please welcome Lisa Schmidt! Many of you may know Lisa already, and if you do then you know how talented she is.  Lisa has been successfully running her own paper piecing pattern business for some time now.  I have always been a huge fan and knew that her piecings would make great stamps.

Here is her first image, and I just happen to have a card made with this cute little Kitchen Mouse.

Isn't he the cutest little mouse?  He will be arriving in about a week, so I will be putting him up for presale this week.

I also thought I would share some cards from Eileen Gutierrez and Alisa Ramirez.  Not only do they have adorable stamps but they make adorable cards with them too.  And making its debut is Alisa Gavin The Elf stamp, isn't he a sweetie?  He also will be arriving in approx a week, so be looking for him over at the store this week too.  The other stamps are available now and in stock!

Here are Eileen's Cards

Have a great night!

Saturday Showcase

Hello everyone, yes it is that time again! I want to thank the design team for their patience with me this past week, it is a long story, but due to computer problems I have not been able to do everything that needed to be done. I have come to depend so heavily on technology, that is for sure. 

Well, this week our cards are made with a Christmas theme in mind.  Some of these stamps are in stock, and some are coming in, I am hoping next week.  So if they aren't up and listed in the store yet, they will be soon.  I also want to mention I have some other new images coming in that you will want to see, including one by a new stamp illustrator.  I will post more on that early next week.  Enjoy the cards!!!

Remember Sunday is the deadline for the challenge submissions, and a new challenge will be up on Wednesday along with the names of the winners from the present challenge.  (Oh and I plan to have a card up with the rest of the DT for the new challenge... finally had a little time to play)

Have a great weekend!
