Who can resist this cute set. I would be thrilled to win it.
Thank you for your generous give-away offer.
Okay, I haven’t seen this set yet and it is ADORABLE!! My 3 year old grandaughter thinks she is a mermaid (yes, it’s the Disney Princess effect! LOL). I bought her some Tinkerbell clear stamps and she loves to “do craps” when she comes over. The mermaid in this set is perfect for her!!!
Penny Black stamps are among my favorites and the Fun in the Sun set is definitely something I must have in my collection.
These are so much fun. Great summer cards!
Such a gorgeous set of stamps – they are just so summery. I look forward to seeing what the design team do this week with them.
Ahhhh, so adorable. So perfect for the Summer. Thanks for the chance to win.

Awwww…these cards are just toooooo CUTE!!!! I LOOOOVE the new Fun in the Sun set!! I can imagine so many things to do with this set! Thanks for the chance to win!
Such CUTE new Mimis! I have Mimi the Mermaid and I have my eyes on Fun in the Sun! Penny Black has done it again – ADORABLE! 🙂
Awesome card!!
I’m rather partial to mermaid images so this really thrills me, especially with that little turtle & the fish. I love the way those scalloped edges pick up the shape of the little seahorse in the card. As for the transparent stamp set – the little elements that can be played around with are super & I just think that sun lounging image is terrific. The sea & the shell…..imagination is already at work.
Thanks for an opportunity of winning too.

Hello! I’m an established card maker but (shock!) I’m relatively new to the stamping scene. I’m currently practicing with another clear set (and watercolour pencils) and am now hooked…oh for more cupboard space. These sweet stamps in the ‘fun in the sun’ set have inspired me already and I’d love to start my collection with them – it’s winter down here in the land of Oz and I’m on the hunt for anything warm! Now to find out more about ‘Copic Markers’…
such a cute set – love her ring!
What a sweet set!
Great card.. And it’s always fun with something extra in the sun..
The “Fun in the Sun” stamps are darling. So cute.
