November Challenge

Anonymous STamps November Challenge 

We are excited to offer you a brand new challenge each month. You may enter any paper crafted project when you enter this challenge; cards, scrapbook pages, notebooks, gift boxes, whatever you can think of. To enter just add you information, with your direct link to Inlinkz at the bottom of the post!!

Our November challenge originally had a theme of Dream State but myself and the design team have decided that in fact the challenges shouldn't have a theme after all, people should be able to show off what they have made regardless of the theme so........

This challenge has no theme it really is anything goes. 

Our prize for this challenge:

You can buy Anonymous Stamps images from the Etsy shop or check out the freebies in the post below.

Thank you so much to everyone that participated in our Color Me Happy Challenge!

I'd like to congratulate our randomly chosen winner from the Come Away With Me Challenge:

Carmen at Carmens Creations

Freebie Digi Stamps x 3

Good morning to all you lovely crafters out there!

Yesterday I was busy drawing new stamps to add to the shop collection and I whilst drawing I thought that I would also draw up some quick freebies for you, I hope you like them.

Please feel free to take the freebies for your own use. What you do with them is up to you, colour them, make a project with them, make cards to sell, its up to you all I ask is that you do not post the un coloured freebie on the internet - it would be nice if people came here to get them, and that you give credit to Anonymous Stamps when you use the image and post your project online. 

Also, while I have you here, have you entered our challenge yet? We are giving away a fabulous prize so please click here to see the challenge details. 

Here are the images.

Here are some makes that the lovely Anonymous Stamps Design Team have completed using the freebies to give you some inspiration.

I've been paper-crafting for over 7 years and love Clean & Simple, negative space and coloring images. I'm a former scrapbooker turned card maker.

Beverley Metcalf

I am a wife and mother (one teenage girl). I have been crafting now for about 7 years and feel that I still have lots to learn. Predominately I am a card maker but have dabbled in scrapbooking, returning to card making as my preferred option, also I like to make ATC's. I am a lover of digi stamps due to the versatility and the ability to make the stamp the required size. Alongside the card making I work part time and am currently studying for an NVQ in team leading and am also doing a short University course on Social psychology.

Karyn Wheatley

Hi, my name is Karyn and I'm originally from the outback of Australia but have been living in the UK for about 15 years. I live in Coventry with my fiancé, Trace, my son, Ethan and our 2 and 3/4 cats, Utah, Tinky Winky and Jenny-boo. Jenny-boo is the 3/4 cat as she's only got three legs but that doesn't stop her at all and she can run rings around the other two! I also work full time. I've been crafting since I was about 11 with various different crafts but got into card making when I came over to the UK and have been hooked ever since. I love using digital stamps with the flexibility they give me and colouring them with my alcohol markers. I like to decoupage images and make home decor items for my home and am in the process of setting up an Etsy shop. Feel free to follow me as I love to blog and chat.

Zoe Parkin

A little about me. My name is Zoe but most friends and family know me as Ziggy. People think I am a little quirky, I like to do things differently. I am 39 and a mum to two lively little boys. I have always crafted and tried my hand at most crafts
I love to colour digitally at the moment and then make things like canvas', bags, t-
shirts, custom blackboards, home furnishings.
I love to try new ways of showcasing what I do, I would love to turn my hobby into a 
business eventually. I have a blog which I update reguarly, and recently I have discovered the world of 
blog competitions/showcases and love it.

Helen Bowden

I live in York with my three girls and one slightly insane hamster, I’m a stamper at heart and I have a large collection of digi and rubber stamps. I also love playing with my Silhouette Cameo, my melt pot and making jewelry.

Michelle Dees

My name is Michelle Dees. I live in Theilheim Germany now for 19 years. I was born in the Netherlands. I am married and have two wonderful kids. I love crafting as long as I can remember. I love to make cards with digital stamps. Before I found those great tamps I made cards with the 3D technique. For about two years I started with scrapbooking our photos. If I have time I make those pages too.

How to make digital stamps

Making Digital Stamps Tutorial

Here is a quick video as requested showing how to make your own digital stamps.

Please note:  

I have had a request from Stamp Out to include an important message to 

accompany this video for budding digital stamp creators, I am very happy 

to be supporting Stamp Out so here goes: "anyone doing "stamps" (actually 

art of any type, especially for sale) should understand copyright law as 

it pertains to them BEFORE trying to go into business like this. 

Imitating existing styles is illegal and unethical. 

Nothing you draw should be 'inspired' by another artist's work. 

Stamp Out have had a LOT of reports of amateur artists thinking they can 

get into the business by trying to copy Magnolia, Saturated Canary, 

By Lori Designs, Greeting Farm etc. I can't stress how important it is for 

people who want to do this to be creating completely ORIGINAL art 

before they ever put an image onto the Internet where 

everyone can see." 

Thank you all for watching, reading and for supporting 

such a noble cause. xx
