Your Next Stamp turns 11 this month!
We are excited to celebrate and we are doing it with a new release this weekend. Before we get to the new items, we are taking a look back to when it all started!
Karen posted her first blog post in April 2009. As she waited for the store website to be set up, she worked with designers creating whimsical and fun stamps.
AND Karen was stamping as the new sets arrived. Back then, the stamps were purple rubber and had to be individually cut out by hand! This is one of Karen’s first cards from 2009 featuring Fairy Fhiona.
Fhiona has stood the test of time. Did you know that there are still versions of the original Fhiona sets available in the YNS Store today? Check out the full collection of Mini Fhiona stamp sets here.
Would you like to win your own Mini Fhiona stamp set? Leave a comment on this post for the chance to win! All comments left by Monday, August 17th at 11:59 pm EDT on this post will be entered in the random drawing. Winner announced on Tuesday, August 18, 2020. Head on over to YNS IG’ for another chance to win. We are giving away a second Mini Fhiona set there!
Thanks for taking a trip down memory lane with us! We will be sharing more memories this week.
Saturday the celebration continues with a preview of our August new release!
Happy Stamping!
