May 2017 New Stamps!

 

Welcome to the May 2017 Quietfire rubber stamp release. There are eight new stamp sets to play with! (Wow, 8!!)

Where to start….? 

I absolutely love sayings with double meanings.  I guess that’s why the two music stamps are my favourite!  The Music in my Heart sentiment was sent to me by Karen S (I’ll be sending you a complimentary stamp Karen!)  and is such a beautiful sentiment.  It’s perfect for a sympathy card.  Let me know what you'd use it for!



The Music in my Heart

 

The other music stamp saying is from Design Team member Connie Nichol.  Whether you’re talking about music or comfortable companionship with a friend, Moments of Silence applies.

The Leafy Acanthus Background is from an illustration I did years ago in the William Morris style.  Use it with a light coloured stamp ink for a subtle effect.  I think the quiet floral background combines beautifully with the “stillness” of the The Greatest Revelation.  Makes you pause and think.

 

 

 

 

The Greatest Revelation

 

Leafy Acanthus Background

 

 Thanks to a big nudge from Cheryl A., the Queen of Everything, which was sold out, has been resurrected. It’s a bit different, but the sentiment is still as strong as ever!  Cheryl, I’ll be sending you a complimentary set.



Queen of Everything

 

This new Modern Calligraphy style works well with whimsical sayings, so here is a really fun set of stamps.  If you have the Wishing You A die set, then you can combine it with Wishing You Whimsy perfectly!


 

Wishing You Whimsy

And last but not least, for those who like to doodle and colour there are two new sets of Fill 'er Up Caps:  DAD and MUM
Both these sets only have two letters, as one is repeated.  If you already have our JOY or LOVE set, then it's easy to make MOM
This brings our total of Fill 'er Up Letters to 11....  ADEJLMOUVY and T is part of the Thanks - Fill 'er Up set.  If you're feeling adventurous, flip the M upside-down for W and the U upside-down for N!  That takes us to 13 letters - half way there! Give it some time and we'll have the whole alphabet!


DAD



MUM

And that's it for now! Have fun and happy creating!

Throw Up Thursday! NEW STAMPS!!

Okay, it's Suzanne today and I've been dying to call this Throw Up Thursday, so I did.  It's different than Throwback Thursday because we have some awesome new things to share with you!

We have new rubber stamps!

It's take a long time, but Quietfire is growing up.  Starting now, most of our stamps will have the option of Cling and Foam mounting.  Did I hear a collective WoooHooo?! Yes, it's true.  No more double-sided tape and cutting stamps out.

Some of these designs have been in the works for some time and have endured the growing pains and delays of awesome newness. Some are hot off the drafting table in time for Mother's Day (unfortunately we don't have the mounted option for those yet).

Rather than release these in dribs and drabs and make you pay shipping charges every time a new set is released, we're throwing six, yes 6, new sets up on the site.  Our Design Team is simply itching to get their fingers on them, so keep watch for a creative explosion over the next few weeks! (Robyn is stalking her mailman.)

Here are our Mother's Day sets.  Whether you're a kidlet or a parent, both sets are useful far beyond Mother's Day.  (Need a stamp that says Happy Mother's Day?  Click here!)

A Mother's Greatest Masterpiece - set of 4

Keep Calm & Call Mom - set of 3

and the other new set available with the Cling and Foam Mounting option....

Garden Bench Collection - Set of 4  - was inspired by my grandparents garden bench overlooking Lake Erie and evolved from a brainstorming session with designer Judi Kauffman.

Happy Birthday Plain & Simple -Set of 7

Thanks - Fill 'er Up T   For those who like to doodle, but not too much!  Fill up this T with tangles, doodles, stamp images, paint....  The possibilities are endless!

If You Don't Believe in Miracles - Set of 3

Thanks for stopping in today!  We hope you like our new stamps - and our new mounted option!
Happy creating! Suzanne
