DRS Designs

DRS Designs is a small family owned company. They have been in the rubber stamp business since 1955 and have been thru many changes since that time. No change was more significant than the addition of art stamps in 1992. In the ensuing 16 years, They have grown their collection to more than 1000 original stamp designs with more being added each month. They offer online shopping from their website, a monthly club - Rubber Mania Monthly, as well as a retail store in Bethel, CT. If you are in the area, stop by their cozy Victorian shop and say hello!

They offer high quality, wood mounted rubber stamps as well as unmounted rubber depending on your preference. They have a 10 person design team and a blog that is updated daily by each member of the team. Every two weeks on a Monday, they host a blog challenge and invite you to join them! Their online site features a gallery for each designer as well as a customer gallery. They hope you will participate in their challenges and email them your cards so they can include them in their growing galleries. They offer a wide assortment of images, sentiments (serious and humorous) as well as easy background images and technique stamps such as their stained glass and their plaid stamps.

You can find them at www.drsdesigns.com and http://drsdesignsblog.blogspot.com

Card of the Week & Fab 5!

2009-11-01T08:13:00.003-07:00

I am not sure who has a greater time Trick-or-Treaten? Kev and I joined friends last night and walked the neighborhood with our little ones. Watching children dressed up in a variety of darling costumes dashing from door to door is certainly my Treat - sharing pieces of candy with your children is another too but experiencing the magic of fantasy is priceless. I will post pictures of our evening on my blog later but for now I am enjoying a 'sugar free' Sunday admiring the Eye Candy in the gallery.

A huge shout of thanks to our Sponsor The Cutting Cafe for providing us with beautiful images to work with. No matter what the occasion, The Cutting Cafe has an image or two to help you celebrate. The lucky cardmaker to win the prize of the week from The Cutting Cafe is

Card of the Week

Kuzjaluda

Is this not just a beauty? I love the soft pastel colors and how everything about the card flows effortlessly. The roses at the bottom are a nice delicate touch without being too overpowering. Even though I can't read the writings on this blog there is still plenty to be admired from the artwork - Cards are truly a universal language. Take a peak at all the fabulous creations here:

В творческом полете...

(please email me your details so that I can get your goodies to you)

Fab 5!

Tomorrow we announce our brand new Design Team. Laura also has a great sketch for you and a fab sponsor - see you in a few - Have an awesome Sunday.

Hugs Kazan & Your Hall of Famous Designers

Sponsor of the Week

The Cutting Cafe

This week we welcome back The Cutting Cafe as our sponsor for the week. Here is a little info about The Cutting Cafe for those of you joining us for the first time: The Cutting Cafe' offers affordable Printable Stamps and cutting files to crafters, scrapbookers, and cardmakers. The cutting files are templates that you print out (using your home printer) cut, assemble and then embellish! The format of the cutting files can be used on Die-Cut machines like Pazzles Inspiration, Bosskut Gazelle and Cricut (with Scal software) and are very easy to use, versatile and fun too.

The printable stamps are just that, images that are sent to you through email that you print out using your home printer. After the images are printed out you can color them in or paper piece them like you would any other stamped image!

One of the best things about the Printable Stamps and Cutting Files is that you don't have to worry about finding space in your craft rooms to store them... Simply keep them in a folder on your computer to use over and over again!

Card of the Week & Fab 5!

2009-10-18T08:49:00.004-06:00

Sometimes a girl needs a little time to do girly things and today is that day for me. Kev is spending the day with our girls and I am heading off for a day of pampering and fun! First on the list is a facial at a gorgeous spa, then lunch at one of my fav restaurants that serves the best salad eva! After that it is off to the Junior League of Denver Holiday Shopping extravaganza. I think the only thing that may be able to top this day is if I get some crafting in later - eeek that may be wishful thinking :)

The gallery is certainly filled with wonderful items that require no wishful thinking. After seeing all your cards I could seriously churn out a bunch of Holiday cards, but that would mean giving up a facial, lunch and shopping..mmmm You guys know how to put me between a rock and a hard place HA! Seriously though - thanks for sharing your amazing talent with us week after week! We {heart} you all.

Can we all just give a 'whoot-whoot' to our awesome sponsor: JustRite Stamps. We love their stamps and we are so excited to announce that the winner of the $100 Gift Certificate to JustRite Stamps is:

Tammy

We were blown away at all the yummy details on this card and we loved how this is both a tag & a card - sooo clever Tammy. You guys are going to LOVE Tammy's blog too. Om-goodness take a look at all the awesome inspiration here:

Dream Create & Share

Tammy please email me your details - we will put you in contact with JustRite to claim your prize. Congrats ;

Kazan used the JustRite Christmas Stamp Ensemble on her card

I know it is only mid October however it is certainly not to late to get super Holiday ideas for our December cards and gifties. Like many of you, I am thinking of gift ideas for teachers, friends, coworkers and family. So many people enjoy receiving handmade goodies and that makes giving them even more fun. I dressed up this chocolate box with some gorgeous basic grey paper and I used the ever popular Christmas Stamp Ensemble from JustRite Stamps who are sponsoring the sketch this week.

Following are the Design's team take on the sketch using an assortment of stamps from JustRite:

Card of the Week Sponsor

JustRite Stamps

Check out hundreds of project ideas along with complete instructions in their

gallery and on their blog!

The Perfect “Design –it Yourself” stamping system. JustRite’s® unique wood stampers with interlocking ribbed grid surface allow you to design your own stamps choosing from a selection of interchangeable fonts, borders and centers. Each stamper securely locks into place in the grid system and ensures precision stamping. Fonts and geometric borders always line up perfectly! This unique design allows for great versatility. Expand your collection of stamping phrases by simply adding one of our fonts to your collection.

To assemble your stamping image...

1 Select a border for stamping. Then, simply snap your border into place by holding it on the mount with one fi nger as your other finger pushes the border into the border groove.

2 Next choose the center you want to coordinate with your border and snap into place. Simply start at the bottom of the grid and gently snap the rib into the groove, working your

way to the top by moving your fingers up the image.

3 Now you are ready to stamp.

4 To customize your image try using the coordinating fonts to add your own sentiments or

monograms. The design possibilities are endless.

This week JustRite Stamps is giving away a $100 Gift Certificate to the winner of Card of the Week!
