One day I was browsing Etsy’s scrap-booking supplies and I ran upon Thats Jazzy Stamp Dreams, I took one quick look and was instantly smitten! Their designs, stylized with vintage elements as well as a natural component, were right up my alley. It doesn’t help either that the stamps are clear for perfect placement. I love them all!!! Sheila, Thats Jazzy Stamp Dreams owner, gave me my choice of stamp to review. I was delighted! I’ll get to the review in a moment, first I want to tell you more about these lovely stamps.

These are a fun, eco-friendly, and cost-effective alternative to di-cuts. Just imagine the beautiful scrap-books pages and cards you could make with these. The possibilities are endless. Sheila has beautifully crafted these stamps to work with each other saving you time and money from buying more stamps. For example the Stamped Clear stamp set can not only be combined with itself, (the words fit into the stamp) but can also be used with the “Date Me!” stamp set and the “Friends and Buds” add on set.

Stamped Clear stamp set

Below are a few of my favorites:

Now to the stamps that I reviewed! I chose Beckie’s Love Birds.

I know what you’re thinking, good choice right?

Below are the two cards I’ve made so far with these super cute stamps.

I enjoy card making and scrap-booking so I’ve had my share of both good and bad stamps. These most certainly fall in the good category! I’m sick of buying high priced clear stamps only to have them squish when you press down. When this happens your image is blurred and worthless. These stamps were high quality! With one press the image looked perfect, no repressing needed. On the left card I used Copic markers to fill in the stamps and on the right I used them to outline the stamps.

Ready to win your own stamp set?

Sheila is so kind as to give away free shipping and $8.50 Gift Certificate to one lucky winner!

$8.50 you may say, well what will that buy? In most stamp shops it may cover the shipping costs but at Thats Jazzy Stamp Dreams it will buy the most expensive item in her shop! Crazy, I know! Even though her items are of superb quality she sells them at half the price of her competitors.

She is also offering 20% off to all my readers! All you have to do is send her an email with your order and the coupon code “Beauty4Moms”.

This giveaway is from 5 o’clock crows! Here’s a little bit about the owner, Sara, in her own words:

“Off the top of my head- my formal education is in fine-art printmaking- (I have an MFA from LSU, did my undergrad at Syracuse- surely more education than is reasonable, especially in a field with no real-world currency. Maybe that’s why I’m going at building my business- to make my own real-world currency). Just before I left for grad school I took a fibers class and fell in love. I was fortunate enough to meet a hand-dyer in the printmaking program where i did my grad work and I went from there.

My printmaking background pops up in all sorts of ways- especially my love of process. I’m also work in fine art- making object multiples- actually, there’s a bit of crossover between my fine art and craft work, both involve multiples, fiber, wax, dye.

I’ve been focusing on my craft work more and more lately because
1.- I want to build my business and there isn’t enough time for both and, more importantly,
2. I think that beauty + function is SO important.
I love fine art, but I miss the functional aspect when I make something that hangs on the wall. Not that hanging on the wall isn’t a function in and of itself, but it’s not “functional” in the same way as a dishtowel- something that can be used, touched, felt, related to in more of an everyday way. I think these everyday interactions that we don’t even think about create a sort of “intimacy”, or at least a relationship between the user and the product. “

Well said, Sara!
She is gracious enough to give one lucky reader a $25 gift certificate to her store! Below are a few of my favorite coasters and tea towels.

Today’s giveaway s from a very cute etsy shop, Rock n Rags!

Here’s an interview with the owner, Jenn:

1. How was your shop started? I love making things. Now that I have kids I am always making things for them. I found Etsy and fell in love. All handmade unique items, I feel like I fit right in.

2. What kind of art are you most into and how do you think that plays into the theme of your store? I am a rock n roll kind of girl. I like to make items that are a little edgy, something different that leaves people talking and always asking where I got it.

3. Which pieces in your store receive the most compliments and why? My tie tees are what put me on the map and they are now the main focus of my shop. These shirts are fun for formal gatherings (family pictures & weddings) or just a way to stand out of the crowd.

4. What’s the most unique custom item you’ve ever made? My most unique item would have to be my tie & vest bodysuits. I haven’t seen anyone else offering anything like these – and they are ADORABLE! Every little man needs a tie and vest combo, so dang cute!

I just love them! They are unique and ultra fun.

Jenn is gracious enough to give one lucky reader a $12 gift certificate to her Rock n Rags shop!

Graphic Spaces has given me this Dog House vinyl but I haven’t applied it yet because we’re slowly painting each room in our house. I just wanted to show it to you because I think it’s adorable!

Congratulations Sherry!
