October brings many joys…fall colors and even cooler temps to name a couple. But the best part? Ohhh, that would be Christmas stamp release here at KBS! Yahoo!

And ho ho ho, do we have some dandy ones! (PS. Gloomy day yesterday means no actual stamp collage  photo. haha)

Where do we begin?

Hmm…let’s start with Holiday Headers because I think it might be my favorite. Oh, who am I kidding, I love them all (if I do say so myself–haha).

 

 

These are designed with 3×4 journaling cards in mind, but as always, can be used for so much more. Each standard header is 2.85″ wide and can be combined together or used singly. And technically, they can be used as a footer too…or a tag…or whatever. ;) The solid rectangle can be used as a backing to add color to some of the pieces as well. Love these!

Next up (shown above, last line) is Best Time Of  The Year. Gosh darn I love this little hand written font and have (obviously ;) ) been using it a lot lately. Love all the Christmas phrases in this holiday style!

Merry Squares is next on our Christmas list (falala above too). This merry block of stamps is twice the fun in that you can use them individually or put them all close together to create one big block. Yup. It’ll do that. You can also get an already-put-together printable version in the digital kit. It would make a great card too! So digging this negative-space image style.

 

 

You’ll find I was in a blocky mood this year as you can see with  Take A Number and Take A Number XL. I like having fresh numbers (or alphas) for the season. In my quest to think outside the box this year, I actually went inside the box. ;) After laying out the art of the boxed numbers in the size I had roughly created within my stamp space, I found I had extra room. And while I could have sized them to fit, I thought what’s the fun in that? So I added the regular numbers to create delicious number art like this.

 

 

So love that retro vibe!

Christmas Joys here is a great little ensemble of holiday goodness in typical KBS style (top row).

 

 

Last, but not least, is Open Gift. I was going to have photo example of this, but my plans were thwarted yesterday with a very gloomy day. It wasn’t on the weather app originally. haha But this baby falls in line with all the other Open series, just with holiday phrases.

And that’s it! Presents are opened and now all you need to do is play. :) As always, they are on sale today and tomorrow.

Also, the Stanley and Wicked preorders have started shipping. We didn’t want the shipping of preorders to overlap with this big holiday release, but sadly it was out of our control and it did. Please be patient as we are very busy fulfilling so many orders of holidays past+present. ;)
