Well here's something this blog hasn't seen in a long time: an actual, factual card made with Green Grass Stamps... stamps. Cute die cut frame, huh? I just got it and I really like it. You can kind of see the embossed dots if you look closely. Stamps are Happy Whales and Darling Dots, both on sale for $5.
Smile button is American Crafts. Ink is Stampin' Up! (pink), Close To My Heart (green), and Tsukineko fabric ink (red). Frame die is Spellbinders Frameabilities.

You won! You have the great distinction of being exactly random enough. Email me your address and once this new set is in I'll mail it to you. greengrass.stamps at gmail dot com.
I really loved your guys' comments and think you're a VERY cool bunch. Thank you for the ideas, I think it's important to hear what kind of stamps stampers want. I saw a lot of requests for sentiments, cute cartoon-y/comic-y stuff, stamps for kid's cards, funky nature stuff, labels, frames, backgrounds, retro... Now to make it a reality.
I don't have a preview of this new set yet, but I will post it as soon as I can.
Just a little update, all stamps ordered since the sale will be shipped tomorrow (Tuesday)! I thought it would be today, but it's taking a bit longer than I thought to get everything ready to go.
Thank you for all the lovely suggestions for future stamp sets!! You guys have some great ideas. I'll post the 3 winners tomorrow night and see if I can get a sneak peek of the March set ready.
Now till they're gone, all our stamp sets are 50%-60% off.
We've also added some imperfect sets for dirt cheap. Like, $2.50-$5 cheap. (Those are rubber only, no EZ Mount.)
(Psst! There are 2 imperfect Holy Tomoli sets in there! They've been discontinued for awhile, and I know some of you still wanted to get your hands on them.)
We'll be releasing a new set in March. Leave a comment with what kind of stamps you'd like to see in the future and we'll pick 3 random winners to receive the March set once it's out.
Stephanie reported that the previous discount code, IREADTHEBLOG, isn't working. Not sure why, so I just added a new one. Try HAPPYWHALE. (The old one's still there just in case; it might work for you.)
Newest set is up in the store! These are the cutest little guys, they just make me happy to look at them. And actually, that's all it's amounted to, because I've been so busy moving and working on some big changes at my job to even play around with them. Maybe tomorrow will be a relaxed enough Sunday to break them out, though. (Ha. Ha. Ha.) Here's a discount code to get them for 10% off: IREADTHEBLOG. (Because if you've stuck around for this 5+ week drought of posts, you deserve it.)
And a couple others. I'll put the Whales up in a few days, have to get the rest of the packaging in order.
Laura: "My
niece will celebrate her 16th birthday soon and it is apparent that she
will probably always consider herself a princess. All you need for this
card is black ink and some paper."

6x6 Card, "Princess"
2 more cute cards from Laura. I know, I totally psyched you out on there not being any more design team ones. I forgot about a bunch I still had. (sheepish) This is getting close to the end of them, though.
Laura says, "I
have three, yes 3, wedding announcements on my fridge and figured it
was time to get the cards ready for all those summer wedding
celebrations!"
"Happily Ever After" stamp: Card Greetings II
Patterned paper by Basic Grey and Scenic Route Paper Co. Ink by Nick Bantock. Misc. brown button. Size: 6" square"I'll
use this as a thank you card. I have had so many neighbors and friends
help us this past month that I've had to find creative ways to say
thank you to all of them."
"Gee, you're sweet" stamp: Card Greetings II
Cardstock stickers by Sasafrass Lass. Chipboard bird by Glitz Designs. Size: 4 x 5 1/2"
I finally mailed off this happy little guy to my stamp maker today:
He (along with his super-cute little matching baby whale, some other sentiments, waves and more) should be coming back to me in stamp form in a few weeks! I can't wait!
You probably noticed I've stuck with word-based stamps up to this point, and it's because I'm not very good at drawing. But I finally spent some time learning a few more things in Illustrator, and I am so excited to add images to my stamp sets.
More sets to come, including birds, cupcakes and hearts. Wow, that sounds super girly, huh? Hehe. What can I say? I'll do a masculine one for next Father's Day.
