Sugar Nellie Stamps

[Theresa]

The little baby is lovely - another one to add to my list of new stamps to get, I could do with that one right away as my niece had a little boy yesterday

No Lesley the stamps based on Little Cotton Rabbits are not due this month.

YES I have rubber, yes my fingers are black with stazon ink, and yes they work beautifully

When are they due Mrs Mac? Sorry to have got confused.

Lisa, Rachelle's range will be in stock next week and orders will open this weekend some time. LCR, the artwork is not finnished and then it will be about 2 weeks after we get the finnished artwork.
Busy playing with the cricut tonight, better go and finish it or it will never get done!

1) It is up to you how much do you trim, I try to trim as much as possible because it gives me a better idea of where i'm putting the stamp!
2) The stamps are unmounted, so to attach them to the block I used EZ Mount (thanks to Karon for the tip). The EZ mount has a sticky bit on one side (that will go against the stamp) and a cling side (to go against the block)
3) I'm using Staz-on for stamping and Staz-on cleaner for cleaning them.
4) as I haven't got that many. mine are just inside a small plastic box. I don't know if there is a better method to do it.
5) For colouring lots of people are using Prismas, but I use watercolours. There is a tutorial somewhere in here.. i should be able to find it, that shows what to do. I have been playing with some myself, if you want to look at my gallery.

[Shary]

I'm not meant to be be spending anything but couldn't resist that little duck so he kind of hopped into my basket I know I'll wish I got them all when I see your cards!

[mariana888]

Ordered three myself. Lola with bird, Lola&Simon and Baby Millie.
I also had my DH over my shoulder to see what was being spent!

[gazania]

My DH is snoring on the settee

[AUNTIE NONIE]

Yep, I got the set toooooooooooo! So excited.

I will be interested to see some finished cards as these stamps just don't appeal to me at all. I have loved all the other Sugar Nellies and know I won't be able to resist the knitted teddies when they come out, but my credit card has stayed snugly in it's purse tonight - nothing short of a miracle.
