Some of the Design Team Members have some of their images in use this week.

The Character Cafe is a new stamp company specializing in digital stamps, some of which come with svg/pdf cutting files for easy paper piecing. They offer a variety of designs with card making in mind, but images could be used for much more given the versatility of digital stamps. The Cafe is an angel company geared towards crafters of all kinds, allowing use for small business as well as personal. The owners, Kendra and Kelly hope to provide a wide variety of unique characters with the intent of branching into rubber in the near future. Being crafters/consumers themselves, they strive to have customer service second to none and look forward to serving you for years to come. From The Café, Happy crafting!
