Hope You Can Cling To

Hello, friends! I'm here today to share with you a few cards created by members of our design team and stamp illustrators for Splitcoaststampers' Hope You Can Cling To campaign for breast cancer awareness and support. The Craft's Meow is a proud Pink Ribbon Sponsor for this important event!

Nina's adorable card features Fall Blessings

for Challenge #HYCCT1201B 

Jessica's cute Halloween card features Fall Blessings

and Fall Fibi & Lilly for Challenge #HYCCT1201A

Sharri's beautiful card features Stitched Flowers and

Ladies & Gents for Challenge #HYCCT1201C

Don't forget to link your HYCCT Challenge Card(s) featuring TCM stamps to our previous HYCCT post for a chance to win a TCM in-stock stamp set of choice!!!

Speaking of which, have you seen our Company Gallery over at Splitcoaststampers? We'd love for you to visit soon and upload your TCM cards/projects there (please use any of the keywords TCM, thecraftsmeow, or craftsmeow). Your card just might be featured on our Facebook page! 

Finally, a note about the current status of our re-stock and October release. I'm afraid we're still experiencing delays in receiving product. I'm told my orders are currently in production, so hopefully you won't have to wait much longer for out-of-stock items. We've had to push our October release a little. Previews will begin on Monday, October 22nd and our release will follow on Thursday, October 25th. I hope you'll join us as we celebrate Christmas TCM style!

Our clear stamps are made in the USA from high grade photopolymer resin that resists yellowing. These polymers are designed and produced for the printing industry and are meant to carry and transfer ink, which is why they stamp so well.

The more blogs you comment on, the greater your chance of winning! And wait 'til you see the gorgeous creations from our design team, guest designers and stamp illustrators!!!
