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!

Aren't our designers amazing? What do you think of our stamp images? We'd love your feedback but first let's get to the hop shall we? Here is the line-up and if you get lost just come back here and start at the beginning. A reminder that in order to be in the running for a prize you will have to become a follower/friend of each blog (including this one), and if you wouldn't mind a comment on each blog we love hearing what you have to say.
Have fun hopping around!!
Hugs,
Leanne
