First Up is this adorable set we're calling BABY'S JOURNEY which is written by our vey own DT Member PIYANKI BISWAS.. This set is so dear to our heart. Designed keeping  in mind all the lovely scrapbooks and cards that we make for the adorable newborn babies, this set gives you a simple way to add a charm to those pages but keeps everything looking clean and cute..

Next up is a set that I am super in love with which we're calling Mandala. This stamp set contains a series of Semi Mandalas which you could stamp twice and make them full ones.. Yep we did that intentionally so that you get more in less .. The biggest Mandala when complete will be almost 2.8" in diameter .. 

When using this set and seeing what the Design Team does with them you will be amazed as to all the different pattern possibilities this set has! Loads of potential here!

And not to forget this set is designed by Purvi Gadewar ..

After that we have a set which all the crafters who have kids in school or send cards to their teachers as a note of thanks occasionally .This is a perfect Stamp set to create Teachers Day cards !!Or a Congratulations card for your children performing well in class .. the possibilities are endless..

This set is designed by Diljeet Kaur

The next stamp set is a seasonal stamp set .. With the onset of Rainy season in major parts of the country .. this was the right time to get this stamp out .. This is a stamp which can be used for the rainy season .. for making love cards and even encouragements/ support cards .. This is a beautiful set and im sure your would love it..

This set is one of those set which is would fit into number of projects from mixed media projects to motivational cards ..

This cute little stamp set is designed by Deepti Stephens,, It is a cute little mini stamp which has a bunny and a sentiment ..

This love in paris stamp set is an Exclusive membership stamp set .. and has the famous Eiffel tower and other elements to give it a vintage feel .. this stamp set again has endless possibilities .. make cards .. mixed media projects or  even use individual elements on  scrapbook pages .. 

And now for the new product that we are adding to our kitty .. Yes many of you people out there guessed it right they are STENCILS .. and to start with we are launching three very basic stencils which are a must have for all the card makers , scrapbookers, mixed media artists.. 

These stencils have a large working area of 7.75" by 7.75" and is perfect for making those huge 5-7" cards even when you rotate the stencil a bit .. Even after this big size they wont make a big hole in your pocket .. they are just for Rs. 200 each .. And not to forget they have a hole on the top for easy management and storage of your stencils .. Just attach Binder Rings and your stencils are good to store .. together .. none of them would be misplaced..
