My Thoughts Exactly April Stamp Release

April 1, 2012 by Rebecca Wagner 31 Comments

Hi-de-ho, everyone!  Welcome to the April Stamp Release Blog Hop for My Thoughts Exactly!  If you are here from Tracy’s blog, you are in the right place.   If you are here because you are a faithful reader (which I know you are ^__^), for the best hop, start at the beginning at Alyssa’s blog.Once again, I have the pleasure and honor to be the Guest Designer at My Thoughts Exactly for the month of April.  And if that wasn’t cool enough, I also get to participate in the April 1st stamp release Blog Hop.  Woohoo, go me! So, let’s hop to it and get a little look-see at the wonderful new stamps available now.  Introducing:

Want one?  Want two?  Want them all?  Alyssa has bundles to save you bundles!  Save 16% with the Big Thought Bundle (Big Thoughts + More Big Thoughts) $25 or get the Mini Thought Bundle (Mini Thoughts + More Mini Thoughts) for $17, saving 15%.  Not enough for ya?  Get the whole April Release Bundle (All 4 sets) for $40 and save $10.  That’s 20% off the retail price!  

OK, now that you have seen all the wonderful new stamp sets, let’s get to my project to show you one of the many ways these can be used.  

I chose the “Congratulations” and “you did it!” from the More Mini Thoughts set.  I thought it would make a great card to celebrate my sister-in-law’s new promotion.  We are so excited for her.  The inspiration for my card comes from CASE Study challenge #84 – negative die-cutting.  Cool, right?

Would you like to make a card with one of these stamps for free?  Well, you’re in luck!  Alyssa is going to give away an April Release bundle to one lucky commenter. You will get an entry for each comment you leave on each of the blogs in the hop!  Isn’t she just awesome!?!?  So make sure you comment on EACH BLOG.  

That’s all I have for today.  Hope you enjoyed my card and pick up a few of these great stamp sets.  Good luck and happy crafting!

Sneak peek at the A5 spirals made just for the Coa Sneak peek at the A5 spirals made just for the Coach notebook.
White plastic coil, slim cardboard backing so it slides right into the pocket, and cardstock covers — personalized, not coated.

Alien cover = Monthly Deluxe (with lined pages in back).
Bookshelf cover = Weekly Horizontal Compact.

We did have to cut the deluxe notes section to keep everything on a smaller coil (so the weekly fits), but we’re still testing what else we can add… including a special feature I’m not spilling yet.

Trying to make this thing as functional as humanly possible — stay tuned. 👀✨

Testing something new… 👀 Our A5 Coach noteboo Testing something new… 👀
Our A5 Coach notebook is finally getting the glow-up she deserves, and we’re playing with different refill styles to see what fits, flips, and feels right inside that TikTok-famous cover.

This spiral beauty is one of the contenders — and yes, we’re this close to having the perfect setup. Stay tuned… it’s all coming together. ✨📚

Who else is ready to upgrade their Coach with something way more functional than the paper it came with?

It’s TikTok-famous and cute, but the “calendar” situation? Yeah… we can do better.

We’re in testing mode to create actually gorgeous refills for it — monthlies, weeklies, and all the pages this thing should have come with in the first place.

Question for you:
👉 What kind of refill would you want first — monthly, weekly, or notes?

Stay tuned. This baby’s about to level up. 📆🌸

We retired the old gold after too many print headaches (RIP, shiny troublemaker). This new satin finish keeps that luxe vibe but actually shows the lines—no more disappearing print when the light hits it. Sometimes change really is golden.
