NEW RELEASE - Peek-a-Boo Series

{Sorry for the delay, technical difficulties, but all is good now! Sorry!}
Good morning and welcome to RELEASE day at Yumi & Fumi Handmade!! 
Woo Hoo!!
We're so happy you could join us today.

Before we start the showcase, we'd like to say a huge Welcome & ALOOOHAAA to our friends Cliff & Cheryl of J's Knicknacks in Honolulu, HI.  J's is the first to carry our line of Yumi & Fumi Handmade stamps in their store and we're really happy and excited about it!!  If you live in the area please stop by and say Hello and pick up a few of our stamps.  Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to J's Knicknacks for being our first!! 

Yes, that means we've gone wholesale!  If you'd like to see our stamps in your local craft store please ask them to send us an email at wholesale@yumifumihandmade.com

Today we’re excited to show you our newest stamps created with a little whimsy in mind.  When coming up with this new stamp line we wanted to do something a little different but still keep fun and cute in mind.  We came up with the idea of our characters peeking around a corner, laying in the grass, and maybe even peeking over something.  Then we thought it would be even cuter to add in our own little critter friends to go along with us.  That is how the Peek-a-Boo series was born.

These stamps are the same quality as our other stamps and all made in the USA.  Made of deeply etched red rubber on cling mount they are also scroll cut and indexed for easy stamping.  The only difference is they are smaller than our normal sized images, but that doesn't detract from their cuteness.

Each stamp retails for $7.50, but for a limited time you can purchase a bundle pack of all 4 stamps for the low price of $25 until Monday, April 8th at 5pm pst.  Look for the specific bundle picture in the store(This offer only applies in the Yumi & Fumi Handmade store

Now let's get on with the showcase.  Each image will first be introduced with our awesome packaging (created by Renate' with colored images by Eva & Renate') followed by a sample from our DT.  Click on each designer's name to go directly to their blog for details on their projects.

Time to welcome our Peek-a-Boo friends into the ohana…

We'd love to know what you think. 
Leave us a comment and then head on over to each of the designer's blog and leave them a comment.  I'm positive they would love to hear what you thought.  Who knows you might see more fun samples on their blogs.

Be back tomorrow when Eva and Kim will share their Challenge #13 reminders, I believe there just might be a tutorial thrown in.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Time for a Little Sneek Peek

Good morning!!
I'm really excited to share this news with you. 
We have a new set of rubber stamps debuting on Saturday, April 6th! 
It's been so long since we had any new stamps grace our shop and we are very happy to bring you something different to create with. 
The line is called

 There are a total of 4 images that you will be able to use for a Spring theme, birthdays, just for fun, or whatever your heart desires.  The DT has been busy coloring and creating some really fun and happy projects with these stamps.  I myself can't stop smile each time I see them.  Today I'll be sharing snippets of what you can expect for our Saturday showcase/release day.  Renate', Zach and I are really excited to hear what you all think. 
Enjoy!!

Kigurumi Kids - Release #3

ALOHA everyone!!

We're having a great time in Sacramento at the Original Rubber Stamp Convention. 
Will definitely have more to share when we get back. 

For now I'd like to introduce our new series we're calling


You might be wondering what is KIGURUMI?  Well I looked it up online and found this pretty awesome description from an Anime Cosplay Shopper Blog

I'll give you some of the definition, a couple of links so that you can read the whole concept and see some real Kigurumi costumes. 

What Is Kigurumi?  (Key-gu-ru-mee)

 A type of cosplay that employs a full body suit, similar to a fur suit. It is most commonly used with animal costumes but can also be worn to emulate people, mechs, mascots, etc. Kigurumi are dressed in character from head to toe. They usually wear masks that encompass their entire head rather than just their face. Characters like Mickey Mouse from Disneyland and Barney from Barney the Dinosaur are referred to as Kigurumi in Japan.

Kigurumi is a part of Japanese culture, which represents performing people who dress up like popular cartoon characters. The word is actually a combination of the Japanese words kiru (to wear) and nuigurumi (stuffed toy). Often seen in places like anime conventions, theme parks and even shopping malls, a kigurumi costume always adds to the festivity of the occasion. Even from American culture, things like football mascots and Winnie the Pooh can be worn and considered kigurumi suits. There is no limit, in fact, to the amount of things a kigurumi costume can be. Their range often includes:
■Pikachu ■Hello Kitty ■Winnie the Pooh ■Anime characters ■Animals

Here's a link to a Kigurumi shop where you can browse and see all the fun outfits.

My favorite is Stitch and of course, "Panda" and  Renate' loves the "Unicorn"

Now let's meet our Kigurumi Kids:

Yumi & Fumi Handmade Blog Hop & Stamp Showcase



Hello and welcome to the 1st Yumi & Fumi Handmade Crafts Blog Hop & Stamp Showcase!

We are really happy that you could take time out of your busy schedules to join us today. 

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

**I need to clarify a couple things, there might be confusion with the names of our business and blog so here is the correct info: 
If you are refering to the business or store: Yumi & Fumi Handmade
If you are refering to the blog: Yumi & Fumi Handmade Crafts
 Thanks so much!!

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Before we begin we'd like to say a big MAHALO to everyone that has become a new friend and left us some wonderful and supportive comments.  We definitely appreciate all the support and feedback.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

 Today's hop is featuring the new debut release of our stamps with each designer contributing a card to share.  I am so excited for all of you to start the hop and tell us what you think.  Saturday is our release day, but you all get a sneak peek at the images starting today!  So with every blog hop there are prizes right?  Well this hop is no exception.  We will have 5 random prizes hidden throughout the hop.  Make sure to become a follower of each blog and leave a comment.  The hop will start today and end on Sunday at noon PST.  You read that right, 4 days of hopping.  Winners will be chosen randomly and announced here on Monday, July 16th.

I have one more exciting news to share with you regarding our stamps.  Renate' & I have been to many rubber stamp shows and we incorporated a lot of what stampers were saying into our stamps.  We are very proud to announce that all of our stamps are scroll cut, deeply etched red rubber on a gray cushion mount, they are indexed and made in the USA!!  What does that mean?  No more cutting up your stamps, you will be able to stamp and see the image when it's mounted on a clear block and lastly we are supporting our local stamp maker, Mr. Jim!  I'll share pictures of the rubber and indexing tomorrow.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Now hold on to your seats because you're about to meet Yumi & Fumi illustrated by our awesome illustrator, Amy Beard.  They will be debuting in their beautiful packaging courtesy of Ms. Renate' Winter.  We have a surprise for our DT team.  Little do they know, but all the colored images on the packaging were colored up by our DT!  
We were blown away by their coloring that we just had to use them.
We ♥ our team!

(Because this was a surprise for them we didn't get a chance to create a list of colors used, but we will update that soon.)

Enjoy!
