Each of Kristal's stamp sets benefit charity. At least $1 per stamp set goes to benefit the charity noted on the stamp set package. Kristal is donating to the following charities: Cancer Angels, Storefront Shelter for Homeless Children, Intrepid & Fallen Heroes, E.

So you can feel good that each time you purchase a K Andrew Designs art stamp set, someone around the country is receiving some good help!

K Andrew's stamps are all made and assembled here in the USA, which is very important to Kristal. This ensures all product materials are safe and that jobs are being provided and maintained here in America.  You can learn even more about Kristal's stamps (and pick some up for yourself) by visiting her online store: K Andrew Designs:




Kristal's THREE newest stamps sets are LARGER sets -- perfect for cards, layouts, and so much more...  For more details or to make one these sets YOURS, please click on the preview:

Fall-O-Ween benefits "Adopt a Classroom"
Winter Wishes benefits "Adopt a Classroom"
Scripture Sayings benefits "Good Samaritan Health Center"
For my first project, I'm featuring the Fall-O-Ween stamp set.
For this Halloween card, I used paper from DCWV's Ghosts and Goblins Stack and Cloud 9. The trick-or-treaters are from Everyday Paper Dolls and I added googly eyes and attached them with foam tape. The twine is from The Twinery. The top quote just makes me laugh :)

For my second project, I'm featuring the Winter Wishes stamp set.
The paper is from My Mind's Eye Christmas Stack. I cut the jumping deer from Winter Wishes at 3". I used a Tim Holtz frame embossing folder for the background and Swiss Dots for the deer. The tag is a Spellbinders Nestability die. I inked all the edges with Tim Hotlz Distress Ink.

Stop back tomorrow and I will have a project posted on my blog with the Scripture Sayings stamp set!

  13. Like your creations & as you know I've been a follower of your blog for some time. I cannot buy the stamps and esp with the % off would like to but my car battery died today and had to get a new battery to the tune of $129+ so that puts a crimp in the craft budget.

  47. Oh gosh Lisa... I've been looking forward to your hop projects all week! :o) As always, your cards make me smile and are bursting with such joy and creativity. The trick-or-treaters are SO adorable with their googly eyes and varied costumes. I love the twine and the sentiment! The papers are so perfect for the card, too! And I am in love with your Christmas one. That cut is one of my favorites and am always so enamored when I see it. It looks gorgeous embossed, especially on such a beautiful backdrop. I love all the red and touches of Christmas sparkle. The deep red ribbon adds to the whimsical elegance. Stunning work, my friend. I can't wait to see what you post tomorrow. :o)

    Thank you for the opportunity to win! You're always so generous. Hugs and blessings! :o)
