Christmas has come to CupcakeTree.etsy.com! There are 15 different Christmas-themed stamps new for this holiday season - please stop by to see them. Top sellers so far are the Christmas cupcake, Holiday Birdie and Holiday Penguin.

I look forward to a great 2010 with all of my wonderful customers! I am always working on ideas for new stamps, so please check back often.

Thanksgiving will be here before we know it! I just listed my Thanksgiving stamps - this is the first one, a turkey. I thought this one would be great to stamp on recipe cards given out with leftovers, or napkin rings to decorate the table with.

These two are really mini stamps - 3/4 of an inch each. They would look so cute stamped on each person's place setting with their name! Using them for little wine glass tags in different colors or making them into stickers and using them for Thanksgiving Bingo!

My last set for Thanksgiving this year is a cornucopia with three minis - an apple, a pear and a bunch of grapes. I used this one for a Happy Thanksgiving card listed on the site - I am going to use this one this year for Menu cards for the Thanksgiving table!

Thanks for checking out all of my new Holiday stamps - I look forward to sharing my Christmas ones with all of you very soon! -Olga

Recently, I created a .pdf file of a box template for the perfect gift packaging for a CupcakeTree stamp. Listed in the 'Custom Orders/Monograms' section of the shop, the listing is for a .pdf file of a box template that fits 4 mini stamps or one regular 1.5 x 1.5 inch stamp inside. You can use any paper that you would like - I have shown here pretty scrapbooking paper and cardstock that I stamped with 3 mini cupcake stamps from my shop. All you have to do is print it out, cut it out, fold it up and you have a unique gift package for gifting your CupcakeTree stamps!

I know it's really early, but after seeing all the Halloween things at the stores I couldn't resist listing all of my Halloween stamps! Here is a photo of the mini stamps - go by the shop to see all the rest!

There are Cupcaketree Stamps all over the world! Here are some Google Maps screencaps of each of the places where a cupcaketree stamp was sold - places as far away from Florida as Australia, China, Japan, Denmark and even Kuwait!

After spending some time away on vacation, I have a few new stamps to share that were inspired by time at the beach.

Here is my newest stamp - a beach bucket with a shovel! I have already used it on so many things - cupcake toppers, gift tags, wrapping paper and cards. I love that it can be used with any color combination and it is perfect for summer - I'm ready to go to the beach.
