Sponsor Spotlight: Stitchy Bear Digital Stamps

Hello! I am so sorry for the delay in this post! I almost forgot it was Thursday and you know what that means! We are featuring our weekly sponsor! Let's give it up for Stitch Bear Digital Stamps!


Here's a little bit about our great sponsor this week:


"Hi my name is Stitchy and I am Co-Owner of Stitchy Bear Stamps. We started this store on April 1st, No fooling haha..I live in upstate New York with my husband and two TEENAGE adults haha. I do say that loosely as they think they run the show here, NOT...



I've been creating stamps for less than a year now and I am totally addicted to the craft..I started about 4 years ago making digital scraps and I knew there were much more out there, so a friend of mine introduced me to digital stamps...and the rest they say is history...I look forward to seeing all the beautiful creations come through...good luck everyone... stitchy xoxox"



Stitchy has graciously donated a $10 GC to her Stitchy Bear store for one lucky winner this week so make sure you join in our MONOCHROMATIC challenge below!







The DT have created a few great inspiration pieces to show off these great stamps!
