The new stamps are here!!

It's midnight somewhere!! That means new stamps for Queen Kat Designs on this first Wednesday of November!!

Welcome to the new release for QKD. We are proud to offer 24 new stamps and sets today! We are also welcoming a new stamp designer and lots of new Royal Court members! Lets start with the new Court members.

I'm proud to announce the newest additions to our court: Valerie, Gretchen, Jennifer, Jan, Shar and Linda! We have been welcoming them all weekend here at QKD and I'm so excited to make it public!! Please give them a big pat on the back. I can't wait to see what they make with the QKD stamps.

Now for some new stamps from a new designer, Valarie Wade. You may have seen her stamps in other stores, but we've got her now and we're not lettin go!! Here's a bit about our new artist:

"Valarie Wade is an artist and illustrator living in Oklahoma. Most of her paintings are created with acrylics on canvas or more recently cradled masonite panels. She enjoys painting fairies, fantasy, fun, and upbeat themes. She is inspired by anime and manga, cartoons of the early 80s, childrens books, etc.

Valarie holds a BFA degree in Psychology from The University of Oklahoma. From this experience she has learned the psychology of moods and color and for her more thought provoking contemporary or pop surrelist work shows the inter ego of her subjects tossed with popular and time honored symbolisms. Her work has been used on a variety of licensed products in the past from cross stitch patterns to rubber stamps."

We are proud to welcome her into our stampy family here at the castle! She has her own wing over at the castle shop. Click here to see! We have 2 stamp sets from her for this release. Christmas Kitties and Hang the Stockings. I fell in love when she sent me the images and I just had to make them into stamps and sneek them into this release today!! I know you'll fall in love. Look at this card that I made with Hang the Stockings....

I had fun coloring the images. I even busted out my flocking!! I flocked the rim of the stocking in white and the red on the stocking in red. It's sooo cute! then I added some red stickles on the wreath.

We have new stamps from Lollipop Lab Studios today as well! 3 sets and a single stamp! I'm so happy that Shannon joined us last month, her stamps rock! Lets see.. what else do we have... oh.... We have 5 new mermaids/fairies from my friend Maigan Lynn at the Whimsical Ink Sorority...

We have this month's Zodiac Circus stamp, Sagittarius from Che Gilson at the Dark Ink Sorority along with 3 other gorgeous stamps in her collection including the long awaited Christmas Elf Boy!!

And then we have.... drum roll please...... a build your own snowglobe stamp set from Kari Lind Creations!!! This set is sooooooo cute!!!! I sent the stamps to Valerie, one of our new gals and she busted out this sample so fast my head spun!!

I think it's safe to say QKD has started it's Christmas crafting!! Come and do the same. We have lots of holiday stamps and tons of others too. At last count it was over 500 stamps/sets!!
