I spend a few minuets on Saturday with these stamps, but I liked my old water colour pencils best. Even the children who came into the store had fun colouring them in.
The selection is good and the fav sell out quickly but I like the fact that they are good for decopage/paper piecing too.
I have the tiny baby, baby in nappy and the Christmas set.

I can't show them on my blog incase the recipents spy them! I only have the one stamp at the moment-for some reason I opted to go with 3 paperpacks and one stamp! I need more stamps though! they are so fabby to work with!

Donna, they are licened and made by Do crafts, any stockist of DO crafts will have them. Sorry we only sell these lines in store, your welcome to visit:lol: but not online but there are other sponsors who do. They are selling very well and some popular stamps are out of stock already.

Hi Kevin,
I have used a very well used cat's eye chalk pad for the distressing, I think it's called creamy brown. It's so well used tiny bits of sponge come away now when I use it LOL! New inkpads are just too juicy :)
HTH

Jennyx

CraftyCaz

22-09-2008, 01:56 PM

Kevin if your pad is too new and juice yoiu can by a sylus tool from the makers of the cats eye chalk pads and you can add a small amount of colour at a time....or you can use the stuff Tim Holtz uses...the cut and dry (think that is what it's called).

Here my first card from the FF collection. Just used one of the paper from the christmas range, took a piece of the same paper and cut the snowmad and bear out, shaped them a little and applied with silicone just to give a little definition. The robins in the corners are from one of the xmas stickers range then finished it off with peel offs.

Fantastic cards everyone :)
I bought my first FF stamp today, just love them they are so cute, does anyone know what the angel policy is with them

Just about to ask the same thing. I contacted a UK supplier and got this answer:

"Forever Friends do not have an angel policy so you are able to sell your
cards as long as you are not mass producing in hundreds."

But need to double check as I thought an angel policy gave the right to use the images for selling, not the other way round.

ejc

10-10-2008, 08:32 AM

Is there an angel policy for other DoCrafts products as I guess it wuld be the same if they own the copyright

iskudo

10-10-2008, 08:55 AM

Is there an angel policy for other DoCrafts products as I guess it wuld be the same if they own the copyright

I have checked their website and this is what they say:

Can I sell cards I have made using your stamps ?

You can make as many cards for sale as you like using the Anita's / Papermania stamps. You DO NOT have permission to copy (replicate) an Anita's design onto another stamp for sale.

With Whispers (See D's) an individual can make up to 200 cards of the same design using the Whispers stamps. You must then change your design, maybe by repositioning the stamp images and colours.
Again, you MAY NOT copy the stamps to reproduce stamps for sale..

With Anita's outline stickers you may make cards and sell them, but you MAY NOT copy the designs and make other stickers and products as it is the designs that are under copyright.

Not sure what FF come under, so have emailed them to ask. I will be getting some of the stamps anyway as I have a SIL who is mad about FF and I like them too.

FF is the same as Anitas when it comes to Angel Policy, I could not believe it when at the trade show to launch FF, they has no idea
what an Angel Policy was!

When they worked it all out they said it would be the same as Anitas stamps.
I hope that helps.
Selling stamped images is not counted as hand made finished cards and would not be approved.

Thanks, it's amazing that we all know more than they do! I just had a reply back from another supplier (not sure if they are a sponsor, so won't name them) this is what they said:

Thank you for your email. We have checked with the manufacturer and you can sell cards made with these stamps as long as the production run is not classed as commercial (smaller than 250 cards). Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Looks like I can buy as many of the stamps as I want and use them to make cards to sell to recover the costs too, which is a bonus. FF, here I come..... now to choose which ones I have to have delivered and which ones my father can bring when he visits.

Hi folks, I treated myself to some FF stamps just before Christmas and had great fun with them. Have since added to my collection as my local do-crafts outlet has a 20% discount on all their stock to make room for new stuff so I'm a very happy bunny :D
They had also reduced a lot of their FF Christmas stuff too so I'm well set for next year's cards :)

These were the first cards I made with one of my stamps...
