**We are holding the release of the Oscar Stamp sets pending permission from the Academy. Unfortunately, there is an additional stamp set (one that has not been debuted) that also had to be pulled from this release. Thus, The Ton has a total of 26 new designs releasing on Thursday, January 12. We hope you understand!**

Hello, everyone and welcome to Day 1 of our 2017 Anniversary Release Week!  We are so excited to share so many new products with you this week.  This month we celebrate our second anniversary and to kick off our celebrations, we have 26 new stamp designs and 7 new mixes to show you!  We’ll be debuting all 26 sets starting from today until Thursday.  On Thursday, January 12 at 7am EST, all new products will be available in our shop! Then join us on Friday for a fun blog hop with some talented special guests and our amazing design team!

Additionally, we are starting an official Challenge Blog for The Ton which will be a monthly forum where you can share your handmade creations using The Ton products based on a specific theme.  For this month’s challenge, we have a very special guest who I’m so lucky to call a close friend, the ever fabulous Laurel Beard. She’s been such an inspiration and a great resource in starting this challenge. Furthermore, our amazingly talented design team will continue to provide inspiration for our blog and for the challenges so you won’t miss out on their creations.  Head over to the Challenge Blog now and enter your creations based on this month’s theme: Celebration.

Alright! Let’s get started with the debuts!  Today we have 8 stamps and 2 new Couture Mixes to show you which include our exclusive Anniversary Incentive Stamps which I like to refer to as our Gifts With Purchases* (GWPs). Our new incentive stamps and mix will not be available for immediate purchase. They’ll become available in our shop sometime next month! Our Anniversary GWP promotions will end on January 19 at 11:59pm EST or until supplies last.  This promotion does not apply to prior purchases. There is no need to enter any code at check out either. Your GWPs will be included in your packages automatically if you meet the threshold amounts.

My last two cards were created with our Thoughtful Poppies. For the black card, I simply gold heat embossed the poppy cluster stamp and sentiment onto black cardstock. I added Metallic Gold sequins to embellish the card. Here’s a quick video on the black card!

For the second card, I rose gold heat embossed the the cluster again on white cardstock. I stamped the cluster at the edges of the panel to create a repeat pattern. Lastly, I added the  Hello die cut sentiment. 15800132_1151485238283205_7236805249152107957_o

LauraJane’s custom rose gold message in her shaker card created with our Scripty Alphas Upper and Lower sets is a beautiful one that we should remember each day.  The subtle pink Freestyle Striped background is the perfect background pattern for this beautiful message.

    After the last release, The Ton zipped to the top of my Christmas list, and now this release comes! Thank goodness, I received gift cards! And it’s my birthday! Watch out, here I come!
    I love poppies, and so did my mother-in-law. These poppy stamps are so gorgeous, and the cards are sublime.

    Love that the poppies are layered stamps.
    I was afraid of them but now that I’ve used
    them I use them a lot. Get such detail
    without as much work on my part.
    The hop was fantastic.
    thanks for sharing.

    I just went through the entire DT’s blogs and their creations are gorgeous! I don’t know how to color without using the lines, so I didn’t feel like I would ever be able to recreate most of them. However, they were beautiful to see! Your products are always fantastic!

    We had family members that fought in WWI & our grandma took us to Belgium a few years ago. We went to the Flanders field American Cemetery. They had the poem “In Flanders Field” about the poppies. Poppies always remind me of my grandma and our history. So, when I saw the layered poppies released & the GORGEOUS coloring jobs from your team members, my heart just stopped! I LOVE the stamps! Great job on ANOTHER amazing release!!!
