Sunny Meadow Fair - More Cards!

I have more show stopping cards to share using the new Sunny Meadow Fair stamp collection from Stacey Yacula.  Think of it as your multi day pass to the fair!  :)

Don't forget the entire collection is bundled together at a discounted price of $108.00, which is 30% off.  This special introductory offer of all 24 stamps is available until Wednesday, May 15, 2019.  Now onto the fair!

Agnieszka has been creating some incredible dimensional cards with the new stamps.  Her card fronts are cute enough, but imagine your surprise when you open a card to find this!

Take notice of all the different ways the Fairgrounds Background stamp is used.  Anna created a great backdrop by stamping it in a light color.  The stamp can be used so many ways and doesn't always need to be fully colored in.

Sunny Meadow Fair - New Stamp Collection

We have a new fun filled stamp collection from Stacey Yacula to share today!  This collection brings back delightful childhood memories of summer days spent at the country fair.  Sunny Meadow Fair features rides, games, treats and beloved little animals who have left Mistletoe Farm for the day to play and compete.  You will see how easily these two collections play off of one another, in addition to so many other past favorites.  These stamps are perfect for creating heartwarming cards for any occasion.

For a limited time the entire Sunny Meadow Fair stamp collection is available for $108.00, which is a discounted price of over 30% off.  This special bundled set includes all 24 stamps (30 individual images) and is available until Wednesday, May 15, 2019.

There is also 3 new sentiment sets that coordinate with Sunny Meadow Fair and other past collections. 

Now it's time to share some amazing cards created with these stamps!

Sunny Meadow Fair - Coming Soon

On Sale May 1st!

A new collection of stamps from Stacey Yacula will be on sale this Wednesday, May 1st.  There have been a few sneak peeks on Instagram over the past week.  If you don't follow us, please do @purpleoniondesigns.com.  In case you have missed them or do not use Instagram here you go...

And here is the next one...

Please visit us this Wednesday, May, 1st to see the entire stamp collection.  I'll also be sharing some amazing projects from the incredibly talented design team and all of the guests joining in.  Thanks Agnieszka for all the peeks!

Clearance & Overstock Sale

It's time for a little clearance and inventory reduction sale!  I have marked down a bunch of stamps to ridiculously low prices that are on clearance.  Quantities are limited, so if you see something grab it.  Once they are gone, that is it.  There is also a bunch of stamps that I am overstocked on, which are on sale.  This doesn't mean they aren't good sellers, it is usually because they are pressed with other stamps that are better sellers at some point in time.  There is only a certain amount allocated to be sold at the overstock sale prices.  The stamps will return back to their regular prices once the allocated overstock inventory has sold.  Many of these stamps are from different Stacey Yacula collections.  If you have been a customer (or admirer) for awhile you know that her stamps normally are not found in the sale section.  Again, quantities are limited.  

Here are a few AMAZING cards that use some of the stamps included in the sale.  You'll see that they can be great additions to your collection.  :)

If Three's A Crowd, Then Let's Add Another...Welcome Tatiana Trafimovich!

Again, I am thrilled to have another amazing talent join the design team.  Tatiana Trafimovich's cards drew me in by the gorgeous colors she uses.  The vivid & bright colors along with her card designs make for some great eye candy.  The color pallet she chooses gives Tatiana her signature style.  You can view more of Tatiana's work on her blog Tatianacraftandart and Instagram account at Tatianacraftandart.  Here are a couple of new cards she has created for me to share.  Get ready!

Nicola Meek Is Joining in Too!

Yes, I have another design team announcement to make!  It is my pleasure to welcome Nicola Meek to the design team at Purple Onion Designs.  Nicky has been a fan of our stamps for quite some time now.  She was another guest designer this holiday season and created some adorable cards.  Nicky's signature style of soft pastels and elongated cards are always fun because the larger canvas gives her a lot of room to create her adorable scenes.  The first card is a fitting example for today's post.

stamps used:  Arbor, Sweetheart, Luggage Set, Star & Sky and Sweet Occasions Sentiment Set

 

You can see more of Nicky's work on her blog Nicky Noo Cards and on Instagram.  Looking forward to all you create this year Nicky!

Holiday Tags

I have some fun tags to share today!  Stamping gift tags is always fun and personal touch to add to your gifts.  They usually take just a few minutes to make.  Happy stamping!

This first set from Agnieszka are actually little shaker ornaments but they would be adorable to double as a gift tag and the perfect keepsake.  I love the fine glitter inside that really looks like glistening snow.

Holiday Sale Ends This Friday 12/7

There are only a few more days left of the holiday sale!  I know it's a busy time of year and some of you wait until the end to place your orders. So, here is your reminder!  I'll also be sending out at least one more newsletter (possibly 2).

I hadn't been able to get back here to share any more projects but here I am!  Boy, do I have a lot of cards to share with you today.  I have been posting to Instagram most days, which has made this seem like I have been promoting the sale forever.  The Holiday Sale traditionally runs for 10-14 days to allow everyone time to shop at their leisure.  Many of you entertain for Thanksgiving or are traveling and then Black Friday sales kick in.  The longer sale time allows you to do your shopping elsewhere and then shop here.

Since I have been posting more frequently on Instagram, please make sure you are following @purpleoniondesigns.
