Hello! I hope you are having a wonderful Saturday. Today I have several cards to share with you featuring the new October 2020 release from Colorado Craft Company. And this release is pretty special as the new stamps are illustration by Anita Jeram. If you are not familiar with Anita’s work you can look her up online and I’m sure you will fall in love with her illustrations as I did!

Marie Finnegan
October 3, 2020I love that you added the pink to the mice tails, actual white mice have a bit of pink in the tail…so you unintentionally did a “realistic” mouse. Thank You for the lovely inspiration!

Avra

Sheri Kempke
October 3, 2020How gorgeous are these stamp illustrations? Simply amazing! If I won it would be tough, I’d have to get the Birthday one, the snow with the deer and maybe one of the cat ones, so hard between the ice cream and tree themed stamps. Thanks for inspiring us!
Carolyn R

Judy Strasser
October 3, 2020I love the simplicity and clean lines of these cards. All the stamps were adorable so it was hard to choose a favorite, but I guess the Birthday Wishing set wins the day. Thank you for sharing your talent with us!

October 3, 2020Oh, my goodness. These stamps are exquisite. And your cards are just beautiful. I haven’t seen the minis on any websites so maybe they aren’t available yet but I’ve ordered several of the full sized stamps. Thank you for sharing. I especially loved your card with the fawn on it. Thanks for the tip on making the spots look more realistic.
Dana W

October 3, 2020Yana,
It’s so good to see you back in form with a new video. I watched a short film about design team members’ lives and the constant stress (of many sorts) they are under to perform. Please take care of yourself! I’m glad to see you back but hope you will not overtax yourself.
These cards are adorable. They are very reminiscent of Beatrix Potter’s critters. I am buying several of the stamps / dies from this release. Thank you for sharing.

October 3, 2020I would definitely get these Anita Jeram stamps. I totally recognized her artwork and fell in love instantly!!!
Terri M. Braun
October 3, 2020Thank you for the great video and this opportunity to win some of these stamps, Yana! I think that I would most like to have the Anita Jeram’s Christmas Tree Cat Stamps. We are a cat-loving family and have had cats up our Christmas tree many times. It’s perfect for us!
Lieve S
