Happy Birthday to Pink Persimmon!
We're celebrating the first year of our stamp company AND You're all invited to the PARTY! We are so excited to celebrate with you during the month of June with challenges, giveaways, tutorials and more on our blog. And the best part is, YOU get the presents! Read below for a full schedule of the Birthday Challenges!

Summer 2009 Stamp Release Update:
We had such a great response on our new release that we are now out of inventory on several of the new stamp sets! But don't dismay, more sets are on order and should be here by early July. Sign up for our newsletter to receive announcments when the sets are available again.

June Guest Designer - Melissa Bove
Melissa is a very creative stamper and talented paper crafter. You can see an innovated birthday gift that she made here in Melissa's Ribbon Spool Box Tutorial. This a great way to recycle a ribbon spool and create a very nice gift box that the recipient will love to display for months after their birthday. Melissa used one of our new stamp sets "Vintage Cupcake" that will be released on June 8th in the online store.
Melissa is one of the Dirty Dozen over at Splitcoast Stampers, and she is also a member of several other design teams. We are honored to have Melissa playing with our stamps this month. Take a look at some of her projects and read more about Melissa >>>
