July ATC Swap - Vintage Theme

Hi All and welcome to Julys Atc swap here at The Stamp Man.
As you can imagine its been all systems go at Stamp Man HQ getting ready for the move next door. Ian has been busy making shelving and display boards whilst Jill and the girls pack pack pack! If you have been lucky enough to visit this last month you will surely have found many bargains to be had.
And its not too late to visit - Given some notice Jill and Ian can meet you at the warehouse so you can have a good old rummage but you must phone ahead as its not going to be manned all the time.
The move does also mean the address has changed and is now
The Stampman, Unit 11, Craven Nursery Park, Snaygill Industrial Estate, Keighley Road, Skipton, North Yorkshire, BD23 2QR,
Not a huge change as its only gone from 10 to 11 but an important one as far as your swaps are concerned. Please make sure you change the address in your records.

So onto this months swap which is Vintage - a fabulous theme which is so adaptable to anyone's stash so i do hope you play along.

June's swap - trees will be sorted and posted this weekend so do stop by and f
ind out who has won and when they are on their way to you - some beauties I promise you!
Over to the DT for some vintage inspiration x

May Swaps are ready to post!

Hi All - May's swaps are now ready to find their way to you - utterly gorgeous every single one of them. Now this months winner has been chosen not just for composition but for amazing use of colour. I have actually met this young artist in real life and have to say I think she is one of the most talented crafters I know. So a big round of applause for Belle Weimer!


Belle attended the Lovin' ink craft retreat in March and is also a regular visitor to The Stamp Man shop - always with an eye for a bargain she is extremely creative and is also only 9 years old! She also shares a craft room with her wonderfully talented Mum so has access to all kinds of media which she is very creative at using. Belle returns to the States later this summer so I am really glad she played along with us this time so some of you get to see and own this gorgeous work. So well done Belle. You get to choose a future theme and the atc will be proudly displayed in the shop for all to see!

As always the work you put in was wonderful - we had 26 people playing along this time which is fantastic. I do hope you like the pieces of art I have chosen for you and I have begun a thank you thread for you to leave your appreciation comments on.


Lisa will be back in a week or so to share more DT inspiration with you for our current swap which is trees so looking forward to seeing those very soon.


Take care and happy crafting!
Janet

April swaps posted

Hi All and sorry for the late posting but I think we all know the technical difficulties over the last few days with blogger.


We had 29 people playing along with the bird theme atc swap and some wonderful atcs too. Thanks so much for your Raks and wonderful notes - it feels like I have lots of penpals!

For the winning atc I have gone for something that stood out the most so here it is by Andrea Heath.


Andreas atcs were all a little different but included real bird feather which I thought was a wonderful touch. So well done Andrea - instructions are in your swap envelope.

All the swaps were posted today so should begin to arrive maybe even as early as tomorrow. I was late doing the swap as we needed to wait for some international swaps to arrive - I think the chance to swap with folks overseas is definately worth waiting for and hope you agree.

Don't forget to add your thanks to the thread on the sidebar its always nice to know where your art has found a home.

The friendship swaps are rolling in so do keep them coming for what is bound to be another wonderful themed swap.

Happy crafting everyone.
