Friends from the Start - There She Goes Stamps

Hello all and good morning (if you're reading this before noon... I'm entering it WELL before noon. :P )

As you may (or may not) know, when I first start trying out a new stamp company, I like to write a little review here...or at least introduce you to the stamp company. Well, a week or so ago I requested on Split Coast Stampers some dog stamps. I have no idea why. I don't own a dog, nor do I plan on getting a dog. But I digress...

In any case, some people recommended Puppy Love (from There She Goes Clear Stamps). Well, I looked at the stamp images and fell in love with the adorable doggies there. :) So, I took the plunge (as I had never used their stamps before) and purchased it. I'm very happy I did! (Sorry, but as of this writing, it seems that stamp set it out of stock... so I feel lucky! :) )

The stamps came in a clear package and quite quickly, I might add. Of course, they're based in Washington state and I'm here in California, so that may have something to do with it. ;) Jessica, the owner, wrote a personalized thank-you on the invoice. That was an impressive touch to me.

I took out the stamps and stamped with them and the image was quite sharp and clear. You can see this below. No noticeable blurring or foggy edges.

Okay, enough rambling...here's the card. :)

Overall, I'm quite happy with the purchase (I got 39 images for $18.00) and I'll be shopping with them again. :) Thanks to Jessica and I look forward to continued business.

Thanks for looking and/or commenting!

I love discovering new stamp companies too so thanks for the top review, I'll be heading over to their website straight from here :) Another great card - so many elements I love (the Paper panels, positioning of the sentiment & the image in the scallop circle - I take note of all these things!) x

Cute card! I saw it on the TSG facebook page and came here to check it out. I just bought my first sets from TSG also - I need to make some time to play - but I agree, I like them too and will be buying again. :)

Holly aka Toy said...

Ted, this is absolutely perfect! I can tell you from the point of view of a long time TSG addict, that you'll love the way the sets seem to flow together. Jessica is not only an amazing business woman, but she's the type of person you would love to call friend. I can say this as I have been with her since the moment she created her company! Can't wait to see what else you do with TSG stamps!!

Best Wishes,

Haha! I had to come back and add that I, too, am a San Jose native! Oak Grove HS class of '80! Awesome!!

Jen Carter said...
