Contest... New Releases


I just came up with an idea!!! I wanted to show some sneak peeks of the stamps we have coming in the next couple of weeks, but I wanted to make it even more fun. So here are five heart shaped snippets of some of the new stamps. The first person who posts here the illustrator of each of these stamps will receive their choice of one of the new stamps and a second person will be chosen by random number for a stamp also. You have till next Wednesday Jan 13th, so even if you think the correct answer is posted go ahead and guess anyway to get in the random drawing.


Also, all The Pixie Cottage Illustrators are listed at the right in the sidebar, so click on their names and visit their blogs/websites/ebay pages and it might help you figure out the answers.

Remember just leave the answers in the comment section below before Wed Jan 13th. At that time the new images will be revealed as well as the winners, who will get to pick their stamp!
----------------------------------------------------------
Also, I would like to welcome Hobbystempels to the Pixie Cottage family. They will be carrying the Pixie Cottage stamps in there fine store, so there is something a little closer to home for all our friends in the Netherlands. Welcome!
Stay warm friends,
Michelle

I wanted to share this adorable card with you

A wonderful customer of mine was nice enough to email me and share this card she made with the Winter Door Stamp by Sandra Hammer. Being a big fan of Magnolia Tilda stamps myself, I just fell in love with this card.
Thank you Kathi for sharing your work! It looks like you spent a great deal of time on this!
You can visit Kathi HERE to find out more about this card and see more of her great designs!

If anyone else would like to share a card with us please email me
Hope you all are staying warm!!
Coming soon blog candy, also check our guest designer Denise's blog for candy next month!

Saturday Showcase

This week we are doing fancy fold
cards. I have been wanting to try some of these myself, but alas, have not had time. Now I am really inspired.
Here is Renata's contribution. I just love how she did the dress with both prints. You must visit her blog, she is one busy lady!

Renata's

From our guest designer this month, look at this nifty card. I have never seen this fold before and really like it. Have you been to Tanya's blog, just click on her name. She has a real cute Santa card up, made from a Pixie Cottage stamp.




Now look what Pam did! Isn't this adorable? The little star she added is just the right touch. You can also visit Pam at her blog by clicking on her name.







And from Katie.. a different take on this. Visit Katie's blog to learn more about her. Did you know she hosts her own challenge?






Kristen was able to get her camera working (at least for a few pictures!) and has this simple vintage style card with a cutie reindeer... the card ties shut with a snip or fabric :)



I have a last minute addition here, and boy was it worth waiting for. From our other guest Designer Denise. Check here blog HERE



All of these stamps are now available!!! HERE

There is a special right now on Pixie Cottage stamps so

Thanks for your support, and happy holidays!!
