Challenge #20 Celebration Reminder

I hope everyone had the chance to follow Y&FH’s 1 year anniversary blog hop this past week!! It may be too late to win one of the awesome prizes being offered, but it's not too late to see all of the wonderful cards/projects shared by the DT and guests…just click HERE.

With all of the anniversary hoopla it might have been easy to overlook that Y&FH is in the midst of a CELEBRATION challenge ... and that's where Eva and I step in. We would like to remind you there is still time to join this fun challenge.

You can see all of the details about Eva’s adorable card using Yumi Peace Sign on her blog HERE. Yumi has the most pinchable cheeks, don’t you agree?

I chose to make a tag and notepad using Fumi with Turtle for the Celebration theme, details and a few more pictures can be found on my blog HERE.

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!
