It’s here! It’s here! The new year is here! It’s amazing how that happens…time going by and all. ;) I’ve been dreaming of new places to go and thinking about what I need to get done in my house. 2024 was full of both of those and after three rough years, 2024 allowed me some breathing room. It was grand.

Now I’m wondering if 2025 will be more of the same. I’m totally okay with that idea since there’s still much to do…and see (haha). Like I say, I’ve definitely found more breathing room and I’m loving it. I’ve even been working from the desk in my studio space the past month (vs. upstairs in my reclining chair where I can look out the window) and it’s been wonderful. Funny how a ‘change of office space’ can alter your whole feeling.

Along with a new year of dreams and goals (okay, let’s be honest, I never make goals–haha), this time of year also brings new stamps. And we have some lovely ones for you today! I seem to have had a whole ‘time’ theme going on when I was making the January stamps. Must have had something to do with the new year and all. ;)

Here’s what we’ve got for your today: This Is A Date, Over Time, Time Squared, Never-Ending Calendar,  and Monograms.

 

 

This Is A Date has oodles of stamps to add a date to your page in a more unique way than just your standard date stamp. I’m a big fan of using meaningful numbers as an accent and this one works perfectly that way…giving you many options to choose from.

Please note: I accidentally titled the set ‘It’s A Date’ on the stamp art sticker sheet. Don’t know where my head was. It really is called This is A Date and you didn’t mistakenly get the wrong one. ;) This will only apply to the first run of the stamps.

 

 

Speaking of a creative date, Over Time will probably be a new favorite standard. I adoooore the look of this in the corner of a page, like a book, or even in the center of a 3×4 card or a page all on its own. Something so small making such a statement? sigh.

 

 

Again with keeping things small and creative, the .65″ blocks from Time Squared are soooo fun! And there’s not just one, but two ways of keeping your date squared away.

 

 

 

Our last time piece is the Never-Ending Calendar. This is something that I had the base of done a few years ago. Each time I went back to it I just couldn’t ‘feel’ the right vibes to finish it. I think I was overthinking it. Finally I said to myself, ‘Self? Let’s get ‘er done this time.’ And I did!

You can use this over and over and over and over… It will never end. Simply align the frame over the numbers that go with your month and then add a month and year on top. It’s such a small form factor too! Just 1.5″ wide by 1.2″ high. Choose a Sunday or a Monday start date with the numbers and trim it out, mask off the numbers or even leave all the numbers for a twist.

 

 

And just when you thought this release couldn’t get any bigger, here come the Monograms! These are a set of 2″ letters that take up three 6×8 sheets of stamps space. Big and beautiful! There are no numbers, but they do work wonderfully with the Madeleine Numbers Jumbo. It’s not the same font, but they look similar and if you already have them, then they will look amazing together.

This is a special release of the Monogram stamps. We will not be keeping them in stock. 

Here’s a look at both of those sets along with some of the other time pieces. There’s just so much fun with this release!
