And the balloon obsession continues...

Today's perfect weather made me want a tandem bike...with balloons behind it. Alas, this stamp will do for now.

Take Me Away

Recently, I saw a picture of these balloons from Geronimo! I couldn't help but become smitten by them. Oh, no, no, no..see, these are no regular balloons you purchase at Party City. Look at its size! Look at the beauty of their perfect spheres! Look at the price! Unfortunately for me, at $60 - $200 a pop, I can only admire these beauties via photos. But fortunately for me, I can create a stamp inspired by such balloons and stamp them wherever my little heart desires!

 And they are currently available in my shop :)

It's been a long time coming..finally all stamps from Fresh Baked Paper Goods are mounted! Each stamp will now be mounted on a sturdy ¼" thick piece of wood and backed with foam to allow even pressure when stamping. So excited to make these lovely stamps more durable and easy to handle!

Here are some new items in the shop:

Fresh Baked: New Business Cards

Although I liked my old business cards, I feel that I needed new cards to reflect Fresh Baked Paper Goods' new obsession. I've seen quite a few really cute rubber stamped business cards here and here, so I decided what a great time to put my new obsession to good use!

For its name sake, I thought the company's name would best be reflected in some sort of baked good and who doesn't like donuts? So with the left over kraft cardstock from 2011's holiday card, here are Fresh Baked Paper Goods' new business cards! So excited about them! I absolutely cannot wait to pass them out.

I've been so bad with keeping up with my store's updates. But while I was gone, I've been working on a few new stamps! They are ready for purchase at my shop.

Tic Tac Toe Stamp Set

I am super excited to share my new tic-tac-toe peg people stamp set! This set contains 3 stamps: one gentleman with a "O" monocle, his pirate arch nemesis with a "X" eye patch and the traditional 3 x 3 grid on which it's played. This will be available at the Fresh Baked Paper Goods shop by the end of the week!

Personalized Peg Doll Signature Stamps

I've been quite obsessed with carving stamps lately; there's simply something relaxing in its tediousness. I was joking with my husband the other day that I feel like an amateur tattoo artist. But instead of giving free tattoos as practice, I've been giving out stamps as gifts to friends.

I saw my friend, Melissa, last week and asked her to be my guinea pig. I wanted to perfect carving signatures on stamps and she willingly obliged to signing her name numerous times so I had something to play with.

It took me some time to carve this one but I had a lot of fun. But looking at that wood block on which this stamp was mounted on was a bit boring so I jazzed it up by adding a peg doll on top.

Knowing Melissa as the biggest Phillies fan, I absolutely had to put her in her Phillies gear.

Truthfully, I am quite amazed and excited with the way this stamp turned out. Get a personalized signature stamp for yourself or a friend here!
