Our theme is Christmas!!!

We invite you to upload your Christmas themed projects anytime between now and Jan 3rd.

This week is full of inspiration, we have invited the entire team to show their Christmas creations in this post, please take your time and check out each and every one of these fabulous creations.

The top 3 this week was chosen by Jo and her picks are:
1. Anja- I liked seeing the distance created using the blues and the play on words.
2. Taras background technique was interesting using the fluffy paste(I bet its even more fabulous in real life)
3. Wendylynn at Paperwhims - good use of bold contrasting colour- the tag maybe small but it has big impact.

(congrats everyone, please email Claudine at
jasminngirl411 at yahoo.com for your top 3 badge)

The ATC swap is taking a break through Christmas so we hope you will join us in Januaury again for this fun swap. Until then check out our Facebook page and all the wonderful inspiration there. We also have a lot of inspiration on our Pinterest page.

SDC260 Outer Space Week 2

Hello everyone, welcome back to another month at Stampotique's Designer Challenge Blog, can you believe it's November already?

Thanks to Milo Lilja for guest designing with us last month, we loved having you

We are onto week 2 of our Outer Space Challenge, I hope you will come and join us.

We also have a new guest designer with us for this month.....

This month Nadine Meunzner is guest designing for us and we couldn't be happier.

It is an honor to be guest designing this month.

My name is Nadine and I live in Duisburg, Germany, along with my husband and two cats.

I started with stamps, paper and colors, abot 2007. First time I was only with cute stamps busy but for a year I started with none cute , most time Stampotique.

I still remember when Arwen bought the first stamps and I told her, these stamps will never come into my house.

What should I to say, meanwhile myself I have over 80 stampotique stamps . I'm pretty sure there'll will be more.

After a hard day working, I can get my head free with stamping.

It makes me happy.
