I am so excited to be part of today’s big news… Colorado Craft Company has a new illustrator joining their stamp line! The whimsical illustrations of Anita Jeram is this month’s Release. Anita is an accomplished children’s book author and illustrator:
“Having sold over 47 million copies worldwide, she has truly captured the hearts of children and adults alike. Now, together with 3C, we bring you stamps, dies, papers, and stencils that are sure to help you create handmade cards that are fun, kind, and whimsical.”
There’s 10 new stamp sets, most with coordinating dies. The above card is made with the Better Together stamp set. This group of friends is one of four illustrated images in the set. There’s also eight sentiments included, all in fun handwritten fonts. I stamped the group of friends onto watercolor paper, and painted them with Daniel Smith watercolor paints. (I will share more of my process in an upcoming post.)
My Next card features another darling stamp set from the October Release, Birthday Wishing.
I used two illustrated images to make my scene. To keep the card clean and simple, I stamped a small sentiment included in the set. Again, I did very simple watercoloring with Daniel Smith Watercolor paints. By the way, did you notice the adorable enamel pin in the right upper corner? It’s 3C’s first pin! So cute!!
I couldn’t resist decorating inside the card. This sentiment was a perfect match with the friendly mouse. I did a really quick color on the mouse with colored pencils.
I will Be back on Monday with more inspiration, tips, and a giveaway, so be sure to stop back by! Now, as Anita would say, go “create something delightful today!”

Such fun cards you’ve made with these adorable stamps! Thank you for sharing!
Such an adorable card and the chubby little mouse inside the card is the cutest!
I have always loved books. Even before my daughter was born I had started a little library collection of her own. Needless to say, Anita’s first book is in her collection and there will soon be another one added. I even have cup’s with Anita Jeram’s illustrations on them.
I’m so very excited to now be able to make cards with these wonderful stamps! Thank you for your inspiration!

Your cards are delightful. While my favourite stamp set is Best Chef Ever, I love all the stamps.
I am thinking my favorite of the April release is the group of animals, or the cat in bed.
I love all these stamps! Anita’s illustrations are beautiful! I think my 1st one i order will be Proud of you.
Aw! Your cards are so sweet! I love all the new releases. With every card in this hop, I keep changing my mind on which one is my favorite!
The furry friends made such a wonderful card. Especially good now with all the trials we’re enduring.

Looks great! I really like the new So Proud of You set.
I haven’t drawn anything in quite a while. Such cute drawings. Makes me miss it. I will have to start up again. Something like this is the motivation! Have a good day!

I like all the new release stamp sets but I think my favorite is Dad’s cooking. The two kittens remind me of my twin boys. Thank you for sharing your beautiful cards.
