New Winter/Holiday Stamp Release!

 

The 2021 Winter/Holiday stamp collections are now on the website!  This year we have a wonderful (as always) collection from Stacey Yacula.  The theme behind I'll Be Home For The Holidays is spending time with family & friends while enjoying the festivities and traditions of the holiday season with one another.  This is something that many of us had to forgo parts of last year.  We hope that it is all in the past, and wish everyone all the joy that this collection represents.  May this collection put a smile on your face as you look forward to this upcoming holiday season.

For a limited time, you can purchase the entire I'll Be Home For The Holidays collection bundled with the Home For The Holiday Sentiment Set for $128.00.  This is about a 30% savings.  The bundle consists of all 21 new stamps and the sentiment set, which consists of 11 sentiments.  This offer is available until Friday, November 12, 2021.  You can purchase the bundled set by clicking this link:  I'll Be Home For The Holidays Stamp Bundle.

There are two additional stamp collections this year.  Shari Bresciani has illustrated two adorable stamp collections for the winter/holiday season.  The first is Snow Much Fun, which is a collection of fun and quirky animals engaging in winter sports. Shari's second collection is called It's Snowing Cats & Dogs.  As you might have guessed, this collection is filled with cats & dogs playing in the snow.  

I have created discounted bundles for these collections as well.  The Snow Much Fun collection consists of 19 stamps along with the Snow Much Fun Sentiment Set.  This bundle is $90.00, which is also about a 30% savings.  You can purchase the bundle here:  Snow Much Fun Stamp Bundle. 

It's Snowing Cats & Dogs is available in 3 different bundles.  The first option is the entire collection, which is 16 stamps and the Furry Friends sentiment set.  This bundle is $82.00 and can be purchased here:  It's Snowing Cats & Dogs stamp bundle.

The other two bundle options are for those that are cat OR dog lovers.  Please note that the sentiment set is not included in these 2 bundles and would need to be purchased separately.

The cat bundle includes only the 6 cats & Christmas Tree stamp.  You can purchase this bundle for $33.00 here: It's Snowing Cats bundle.

The dog bundle consists of all 8 dogs, the dog house & Christmas Tree.  This bundle is $46.00 and can be purchased here:  It's Snowing Dogs bundle.

Each listing on the website contains multiple pages with the images included in the bundle, except for the cat only bundle which is shown on one page.

I'll be back within the next few days with some eye candy created by the design team and a few guests.

 

 

Take Your Cardmaking to the Next Level

The anniversary sale is still on!

This post is long overdue and today is the perfect day to share this with all of you!  I am sure most of you are familiar with Sandy Allnock.  Sandy is a ridiculously talented artist that is a vital part of the stamping community.  If you don't follow her or are not familiar with her work, please take a moment to pop over to her website & Instagram account. She is a great person to learn and get inspiration from.  Her artwork will wow you and she isn't loyal to only one coloring medium.  If you like to use or want to learn how to use Copics, colored pencils, or watercolors she is your person!

Today on Sandy's blog she is sharing a compilation of videos she has created over the years using stamps from Purple Onion Designs.  You will surely find some wonderful inspiration, tips & techniques as you watch them.  It's great timing with the anniversary sale underway!  Here is a little snippet of some of the cards.

In addition, to sharing her artwork through her blog, Instagram and Facebook accounts, Sandy offers classes in all these mediums.  Many of the classes focus on cardmaking but you will also find classes that aren't specific to cardmaking.  So, if you want to improve your coloring skills, learn how to color with a new medium, or hone your art skills then I highly recommend Sandy's classes. 

She does offer two classes that feature stamps from Purple Onion Designs,  and both classes are currently on sale!  First, is the Colored Pencil Jumpstart Class which uses the stamps in these bundles Sandy Allnock's Colored Pencil Jumpstart Class - Recommend Stamps & Sandy Allnock's Colored Pencil Jumpstart Class - Recommend & Optional Stamps.  The first bundle is only the recommended stamps and the other bundle includes the recommended stamps along with some optional stamps that Sandy uses in the class.  The second class is the Mini Watercolor Course:  All Season Watercolor Cards.  The stamp bundle for this class can be found here.  Please note that these bundles are already discounted and excluded from the anniversary sale, but remember the classes themselves are on sale.

My favorite classes of Sandy's are the ones where she creates beautiful backgrounds freehand that she pairs with stamped images.  The Mini Watercolor Course:  All Season Watercolor Cards is one of them.  However, there are oodles more!  The design team is often inspired by her cards and enjoy taking her classes.  Here are a few cards they have created based cards Sandy has posted or taking one of her classes.

stamps used:  Elliot & Marcel - Holiday Shopping

Background:  Sandy Allnock's Mini Copic Course:  Winter Story Book Scenes

stamps used:  Snowball, Spruce, Mistletoe, Lamp Post & Holiday Marquee Sentiment Set

Background:  Sandy Allnock's Mini Copic Course:  City Sidewalks

 

Aren't the cards wonderful and the classes have you creating such fun backgrounds!  How about pairing up Stacey's Yacula's Sunshine Lake or Happy Trails with Sandy's Mini Copic Course:  Island Time or Mini Copic Course:  Underwater Scenes (or Mini Colored Pencil Course:  Underwater Scenes).  Shari Bresciani's A Pirate's Life & Under the Sea stamps would also be a perfect pairing!  My other top Sandy class picks are Winter Wonderland, Holiday Backgrounds,  Holiday Interiors, Blue Skies, and a whole bunch more using watercolors found here.

Anniversary Sale - 25% Off Rubber Stamps

This summer Purple Onion Designs celebrates 18 years in business! A big thank you to everyone who has supported my little stamp company!  Each year I like to show my appreciation by having an anniversary sale.  All rubber stamps are now 25% off with the exception of the Together stamp set and Sandy Allnock's class kits. All the stamps listed in the "Sale" category are also 25% off.  There are some great deals, but quantities are limited so don't wait if you see something.  The majority of the stamps in the sale section will be retired.  

I'd also like to thank my ridiculously talented design team for creating so many incredible cards.  Please make sure you are following them on Instagram or their personal blogs.  You can find links to all of them along the right hand side of this page.  I promise you will be blown away by their creativity.  Let's take a look at some of my favorites from the first 5 ladies today.  I'll be back with 2 more posts showcasing the rest of the team.

Anniversary Sale & New Stamps

 

I've got a quick post to let you know that the 17th annual anniversary sale is underway!  All rubber stamps are 25% off with a couple of exclusions.  The Together stamp set is excluded from the sale due to it's fundraising nature.  It's an adorable stamp set for a great cause, if you haven't already purchased it.  In addition, the two stamp bundles for Sandy Allnock's Colored Pencil classes are also exempt from the sale since the bundles are already discounted.  Other than that, all other rubber stamps are 25% off, even the ones in the sale section!  The sale ends at midnight est on Monday, August 24, 2020.

In addition to the anniversary sale, there are new stamps from a brand new illustrator.  The new collections Under the Sea & A Pirate's Life are illustrated by Shari Bresciani.  Shari's quirky illustrations make for some really fun stamps.  What's even better is that they are also included in the 25% off sale!  Look at how much fun the design team had playing around with these stamps.  The "Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum" sentiment along with the "tequila, vodka, gin, beer and wine" options create some fun adult themed cards.  Take a look at the cards shown from Anna, Elaine & Sara.  Sara even created a background that resembles a poured beer!  It's incredible.
