Here's a peek...

I mentioned recently that there would be more new stamps from Stephanie Ackerman coming out soon.  That time has just about come!  I have been waiting till the design team received their stamps to make a few samples before the release. 

Everyone is excited to share all the fun new stamps and the wonderful cards they have been creating.  You can start to see some of these wonderful samples by visiting the following design team member blogs this weekend.  Just click on their names on the day they are scheduled to post their cards.

Sunday May 1st:

Donna Mikasa

Monday May 2nd:

Jennifer Holmes

Carly Robertson

I will have more samples to share throughout the week as well.  The stamps will be officially released on Tuesday May 3rd.

The collection from Stephanie has had the design team squealing with excitement.  I am sure you will agree when you start to see everything.  Here are some peeks of the new stamps while we wait to see Jenn and Donna's samples.

  

 

 

You can also see some of Stephanie's peeks in her blog post from a few days ago here.  Make sure you stop back on Monday when I will do a quick giveaway of the new stamps. 

    

Thinking of you

stamps used:  Damask Background & A Little Bird Set

I thought this was a beautiful card from Carly.  Pairing up my favorite background stamp with a little kraft cardstock was a winner in my book.  The softness of the blue damask along with the ribbon, butterfly and pop of pink make for a perfect card.

 

Sweet!

I have some SWEET news to share today.  There is a new addition to the Purple Onion Designs team.  I am thrilled to introduce our newest design team member Donna Mikasa!  I adore Donna's colorful and playful style.   Donna is a "stamper" and you can see that in many of her cards.  What I mean by a "stamper" is that she doesn't always need patterned papers and fluff to make a great card.  Take a look...

Donna has created some spectacular cards with the new stamp collection from Stephanie Ackerman that will be released next week.  In the meantime you can look through Donna's blog and Flickr gallery to see her wonderful cards.  Welcome Donna!

 

 

 

Enjoy!

The weather is finally showing signs of Spring here in New York.  I was afraid we were going to go from dreary low 50's to hot and humid 90's.  Spring and Fall are my two favorite seasons and sometimes they are very short seasons. 

I thought this was a cute card from Jill to share today. 

Enjoy your day!

Happy Easter!

There is a new mini stamp release for Easter & Spring on the website.  You can click here to see the other adorable stamps in the collection.  All the designs are from one of my favorite doodlers...Stephanie Ackerman!  Stephanie was the first artist besides myself to design stamps for Purple Onion Designs.  I am so glad she is back with us designing stamps.  Stay tuned, there is much more to come from Stephanie.

Way to Go

Shocking but here is another card I made.  Once again, it was for the stamp show I did back in November.  I thought I would post it today since I am congratulating myself on finally finishing a project I was working on.  It was starting to take too long.  I am so glad to be finished and now I can move on to the next piece of it.  Stay tuned....
