It's time again to feature a stamping friend whom we have found in blog world using Clear Dollar Stamps!
For the May Featured Friend, we would like to introduce you to
We found Brandi when she posted some of her CDS work in her SCS gallery and when she participated in the Clearly i Stamp blog challenge.
We asked Brandi a few things about herself and here is what she told us:
- How and when did you discover stamping?
My mother-in-law, Donna, is a stamper and got me started in 2003. She bought me my first stamp set and set of ink. My husband and I moved a lot after that, and I didn't really stamp for quite a while because everything was always packed away. I started getting my stamping supplies back out and seriously started stamping in 2007. - How would you describe your stamping style? I am definitely a clean and simple stamper. I love lots of white space with clean lines and layouts. I collect ribbon, so I rarely make a card without it. I have noticed that I tend to use a lot of neutrals (especially brown) when I create a card, so I am trying to break out of my rut and use some color!
- When did you discover Clear Dollar Stamps? I found out about Clear Dollar Stamps from a discussion on Splitcoast Stampers. There was a discussion about everyone's favorite stamp companies and I saw Clear Dollar Stamps mentioned more than once. I clicked on the link and checked it out, and it wasn't long until I placed my first order.
- What do you like best about Clear Dollar Stamps? I love the variety of images available at Clear Dollar Stamps. I find something fresh and interesting just about every time I browse the store. Also, the stamps are great quality at a great price, and you can't beat that! Before ordering from Clear Dollar Stamps, I hadn't really used anything other than rubber. I can't tell you how pleasantly surprised I was to find out how well the stamps from Clear Dollar Stamps stamped!
- Do you have any other hobbies other than stamping? For the most part, my only hobby is stamping. I do occasionally pick up some cross-stitching, but not often. I volunteer in my free time with a local animal rescue group, and I have 3 dogs and 5 cats, so my husband always jokes that the animals are my hobby.
And now for some examples of Brandi's beautiful work with Clear Dollar Stamps!
