August Ocean swaps are posted

Wow! I loved how creative you were with the Ocean theme some totally stunning atcs that's for sure!
So hard to chose a winner however after a weekend away in Filey and Whitby with lots of childhood memories swirling around my head this one stood out for me - I love the simple stamped look, the gentle shading around the edges but wow the sentiment says it all!

Well done Andrea Heath you are our August winner!
Details in your envelope.

So how many of you played along this month?
well I have posted 21 envelopes today going to Europe, Great Britain and The USA
Such variety and talent that I am privileged to see.
Don't forget you can share your atcs with everyone at The Stamp Man atc swap by adding them to the linky if you have a blog.
have fun with this months theme In The Garden and Lisa will be along mid month to share some more inspiration with you from the DT team x
Happy Crafting

September atc swap - in the garden






Hello All and welcome to another stamp Man atc swap.
this month we would like to see atcs inspired by your garden.
Now I have to say I dont have a garden - more a back yard but just beyond is some wild land and the railway tracks where little rabbits often play. So here is my atc to get you thinking about your own garden inspiration!



Please check out the swap instructions on the side bar and if you would like to share your creations on the blog then do add your link here with the Inlinkz.
I will be picking up your Ocean atcs on Saturday and swapping over the weekend
happy Crafting!
Janet

July swaps - sorry they are late

Hi All and firstly humongous apologies for the lateness of swapping this month. Its been so busy at the clarke house and I failed to get myself organised sooner. However your swaps were posted this morning so should start arriving from Monday Royal Mail allowing.

So here is Julys winner Kate Perry
It was even more difficult than usual to chose as there were so many utterly gorgeous Vintage atcs - its obviously a theme you all excel at.
Kate used to swap with the Stamp man years ago and has just joined in the swap again. In the end her atc swung my decision mostly because of the fabulous texture with in it. If you look carefully - even the atc itself is textured as well as all the embelishments.
Well done Kate - i have added instructions to your swaps about what to do next.

We had 26 people swapping this time which was fantastic - i do hope you enjoy your miniature works of art when they arrive. huge thanks for all your letters and Raks too - they are always a joy to read/ look at.
Lisa will be along in a few days with a mid month reminder about this months theme which is The Ocean and yet more stunning inspiration from other DT members.

Happy Crafting

ATC winner and trees swap posted

Hi All

Some stunning atcs for the Trees swap and an amazing variety of tree stamps too!
lovely to see some new players joining in. We had 25 in all including 2 players from the USA and one from South Africa!

The swaps have been posted today so I do hope you all enjoy the ones I have chosen for you.

Onto the winners atc

This gorgeous creation is from Jean Straw - the distressed stamping and inking caught my eye and the beautiful saying just clinched it! Jean has been a faithful player for the last year and always produces beautiful stamped atcs - I am sure if you have received her work its very treasured.

So well done Jean - I have popped a note in with your atcs about what to do next x

Please don't forget to change the Stamp man address in your diary as its now unit 11 instead of 10 - see the post below for the full address.

I look forward to receiving your Vintage atcs this month - please ensure they are at the stamp man by the 31st July.

Happy Crafting folks x
