OK, I’ve made you wait long enough, time to reveal our new Christmas stamps … fanfare please
TA DAH!
Snow is Falling
Hearth and Home
Three Wise Men collection (available separately or as a multi-buy)
So, do you like them? Well if you have an Elusive Images stockist near you, you may well find that they already have them in stock as we launched these to the trade at our Retailer event a couple of weeks ago. But officially these go on sale on the Graphicus site next Wednesday, the day they are launched on Ideal World.
Graphicus Guild members may like to know that they will feature at a special price in the August issue of the Guild Newsletter. If you take a look at the Pages menu on the left, you will see that there is a private page for Guild members – you will need to email me with your Guild Membership number and postcode to get the password
So would you like to win one of these themeplates? Well I’m always doing giveaways, but this time I’m going to do something a little different and not do a giveaway with them. I’m going to award them as prizes in a little challenge. Yes, I’m going to make you work for them this time!
The Challenge: The theme (unsurprisingly) is Christmas
The Rules: Make a card, ATC, or other item featuring Elusive Images stamps in some way.
How to take part: Make your item and take a photo of it. Put the photo on your blog then leave a comment here with the link to your blog entry. If you don’t have a blog then just email me your photo.
If you do have a blog and don’t know how to do all that technical stuff, email me and let me know. I can help you learn how to do that and I don’t want you not taking part because you can do the art, but not the computery bit.
Deadline: midnight UK time, Wednesday July 23rd 2008 DEADLINE EXTENDED – You now have until midnight Sunday 27th July 2008.
The Prizes: I will award three prizes – Snow is Falling, Hearth and Home and the set of Three Wise Men themeplates. Hey, I’ll even throw in the EZ Mount.
So if you fancy having a go, you’ve nothing to lose. Just send me your link by next Wednesday and I will pick some winners on Thursday morning. Have fun creating!
OH DROOOOOOLLLLLLL .. love them! NEEEEEED them… after all making Christmas cards is the best fun!
Oh jings… Glenda have you been in my head…. I just took another look… you made the very text stamps I want.. the three gifts of the wise men, Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh – THANK YOU!
Glenda, they’re gorgeous- will have to get the stamps out this weekend, I agree with Phree, I REALLY need them………
Thought you were having the week off? Housework is definitely out with an injured hand (if it ever gets in in the first place), but you seem to be just as busy as usuaul!
After my comment very late last night have to say when I came onto your new blog tonight saw the Graphicus Shop and Blog links straight away so must have been ‘cos I was too tired.
The Three Wise Men plates are myu favourites. Can’t wait to see what you have us doing with them next week.
Hope you manage to get some r&r before the weeks over.
Thanks for the lovely bandana downloads. XXX
Hi Glenda

Had a sort out the other day and decided I was not buying any Christmas stamps this year because I haven’t really used all that I have. But I have to have the snowman plate and I am sorely tempted by the wisemen plates and I don’t have candle stamps. Oh well the budget has just gone out the window again.
These are far and away the loveliest christmas stamps I’ve seen in a long, long time Glenda.

I just love the trio of nativity themed stamps. I always try to use something from the nativity story on the Christmas cards I send. Thanks for offering these up. Here’s my contribution:

The new stamps look absolutely wonderful Glenda, especially the Tiffany lamps, but they are all super.
I’ve made a card and, spurred on by this challenge, finally set up my blog as well. My card is at:

Lovely stamps but disappointed to see you have three lots of stamps concerning the Three Kings, but nothing depicting the rest of the Nativity – Mary, Joseph, babe in manger, shepherds, ox and ass etc. I already have your Three Kings stamp set from several years ago and would have loved to do a triptych with all the others. I know you cannot ‘Glendarise’ them as easily as you can the Kings, as they are not as colourful, but if anyone can do it, it’s you.
The Challenge: The theme (unsurprisingly) is Christmas
The Rules: Make a card, ATC, or other item featuring Elusive Images stamps in some way.
I opted for ” The other item ” !

Wow Glenda, what a wonderful two hours this morning with these stamps. I had convinced myself(or so I thought) that I didn’t need any more Christmas stamps and was definitely not going to buy them …….wrong!!!!

Really enjoyed the shows this morning. Watched whilst having a go at the christmas challenge.

Come back Nigel …all is forgiven.
Sorry but flipping heck I almost was shouting at my screen for Steph to shut up and let you both get on with some demos and she always keep walking away before Lynn has finished.
I know it’s a selling channel but your stuff does sell – ( sell out that should be ) without all the pushing.
BTW – loved Lynn’s row of houses – excellent !
What a great 2 hrs this morning – would have been even better if they had run together though! Loved Lynn’s village street, and the kings with the foiling – must try the resist technique with the glimmer mists………
Must have been the first show where even the acrylic blocks sold out!
Hi Glenda,
Love the new stamps. Glad you extended the challenge a few days – here is my card:
