April Spring Blog Hop

Hello Everyone!!! Well, we don't have a release this month but we ARE having a blog hop and also a MASSIVE and I mean MASSIVE sale!

You may remember from previous years, that April is our inventory reduction sale month!

And thats right, we've put over 100 of our stamps on sale! Some of them being best sellers!!

you can get stamps at 25, 40 and up to 80% off! It's a little insane, we know!

The majority of the stamps on sale are 40% off BUT the catch is that there are limited quantities on sale! This is not a liquidation, but a stock evener, so once the set quantity on the stamp has been reached, it will return to it's regular price.

Some have already asked... are these stamps being retired? NO WAY!

This is just a simple inventory evener sale that YOU get to benefit from. We do it every year. :D But only ONCE a year!

So what are you waiting for?!

GO SHOPPING!!!

Another anouncement, PMS is going all bare rubber. With Katie, the owner of PMS being busy with work and 2 little ones that she can not mount the stamps around, we have found it in the best interest to take off the EZ mount option on the website. This will help expedite orders as we can bring on more order packers. We will still carry ez mount on the website for those who prefer their stamps on mount. We apologize for any inconvenience and hope you understand this decision.

And now back to fun.... don't forget we have a fabulous blog hop too!

One lucky commenter thru the hop will win our entire MAY release. So leave your comments thruout the hop!!!!

Have fun!!!

Has it really been so long?!

Has it really been so long since we chatted?!

Well apparently so!

Sorry for the lack of posts! With the transition from winter to spring we have been busy busy busy but we assure you, we are all here and well!

The release for May is well underway and we are expected stamps soon for our design team members to play with. We have some new things coming to you and we are just SURE that you will be as excited about them as we are!

Quick reminder to everyone that we will be having a blog hop on April 7th to showcase some of our fun spring image but we will also be having our annual inventory reduction sale!

Curious to know what images will be included in the sale? Well you will have to check out the blog hop to see the list!

Have a wonderful day!!!

St Baldricks Charity Event

Have you heard of St. Baldricks? The St. Baldrick's Foundation is a volunteer-driven charity committed to funding the most promising research to find cures for childhood cancers and give survivors long and healthy lives.

Recently, I was contacted by a fan of Paper Makeup Stamps, Sarah Williams and she told me the story of her friend. Her friend has a boy named Oliver. Oliver has an inoperable brain tumor that is terminal. Oliver wears an eye patch so that he does not get double vision, but being the trooper and fun little guy that he is, he eye patch sports a guitar and the words, ROCK N ROLL! He's a kid after my own heart.

And indeed, his story has touched my heart. There are so many young ones fighting cancerous diseases, and St. Baldricks is truly making a difference!

I approached Diem about making a fairy just for Oliver with all proceeds of the digi sales going to the St Baldricks and/or family for Oliver. She loved the idea and not only drew the perfect fairy for Oliver, but also an awareness ribbon and the word Rockstar!

This digi set is $4 and you can purchase it here.

And here are 2 cards I made using this digi set!

And why are we releasing this stamp today of all days? Because today, Sarah has commited to to shaving her head to raise money for this charity! You can check out Sarah's commitment page HERE! Sarah, we are so very proud of you!
