Hope You Can Cling To

Hello, friends! I'm here today to share with you a few cards created by members of our design team and stamp illustrators for Splitcoaststampers' Hope You Can Cling To campaign for breast cancer awareness and support. The Craft's Meow is a proud Pink Ribbon Sponsor for this important event!

Nina's adorable card features Fall Blessings

for Challenge #HYCCT1201B 

Jessica's cute Halloween card features Fall Blessings

and Fall Fibi & Lilly for Challenge #HYCCT1201A

Sharri's beautiful card features Stitched Flowers and

Ladies & Gents for Challenge #HYCCT1201C

Don't forget to link your HYCCT Challenge Card(s) featuring TCM stamps to our previous HYCCT post for a chance to win a TCM in-stock stamp set of choice!!!

Speaking of which, have you seen our Company Gallery over at Splitcoaststampers? We'd love for you to visit soon and upload your TCM cards/projects there (please use any of the keywords TCM, thecraftsmeow, or craftsmeow). Your card just might be featured on our Facebook page! 

Finally, a note about the current status of our re-stock and October release. I'm afraid we're still experiencing delays in receiving product. I'm told my orders are currently in production, so hopefully you won't have to wait much longer for out-of-stock items. We've had to push our October release a little. Previews will begin on Monday, October 22nd and our release will follow on Thursday, October 25th. I hope you'll join us as we celebrate Christmas TCM style!

Introducing Hope Blooms and Ladies & Gents!

Hello friends! Welcome to our previews of the SIX new stamp sets that will be released on Saturday, July 21st for your crafting pleasure! Today we begin with two very lovely sets... one by Karen Baker called Hope Blooms, and the other by Elizabeta Kushner called Ladies & Gents.

I'm showcasing the entire cards/projects created by our design team, stamp illustrators and guest designer so that you can easily refer back later for inspiration! However, I do hope you'll stop by for the details and show the girls some love. :) They adore hearing from you!

First my cards... don't fall out of your chair... I really did make cards this month. Could it be that my mojo is finally coming home to roost? We'll see!
