My very first Gilli Card!!!

...As I'm sure some of your know, one of my craft friends, Anary, created her very own brand new stamp line called Gilli.  We have all been so excited and very happy for her and have been anxiously awaiting to start our Gilli Collection.   I placed a pre-order the very first time I saw these adorable images and was so excited to find out they shipped on Friday.  TODAY, was the lucky day they arrived at my home.  WOOHOO!  My very first order of Gilli Stamps are here!

     I have to tell you that these stamps are fabulous, highly quality and so darn cute, even cuter in person and they tamp wonderful clear crisp images.  If you are familiar with Magnolia Stamps, they are mounted the same way and come in a package style, somewhat similar.  They are a deeply etched red rubber on foam mount and every image I stamped came out perfect.  The back of package is adorable is designed with a colored picture and the name of the stamp, which can be cut out and made into a little tag for organization and storage.  A fabulous and very unique idea.  I stamped out 3 of each image using a plain acrylic block and it was a breeze.    Not only are they cute, well designed and well made, they are also super fun to color.  I stamped mine in Black Memento ink, and colored with Copic.   I finished coloring a few, then began a card and I am very happy to be here now to share my very first 'Gilli' Card with you all.

    This cutie called 'Gilli Girly' and she was one of my first choices.   I also bought Gilli Spa and Gilli Jeans along with a cute sentiment, which has since sold out is is back on pre-order.   These stamps are already very popular, that many from the original supply have sold out, but if you hurry there are still some in stock, or you can pre-order, so you'll be first in line on the next shipment.  They are all super cute and I'm sure they will continue to sell quickly.  If you want to buy some now, HOP on over to Simply Scrapping, and pick out your favorites, they are some really cute ones still in stock and the next shipment will be arriving soon.    I am very happy for Anary and really believe she had done a wonderful job with these adorable images.  I have already gone back to Simply Scrapping placed an order for more.   Once my next order arrives, I will have  he Butterfly Set, two more Sentiments, Gilli Tee and Asian Gilli, plus some other craft goodies from Cindy's store.  

    I know many of your know Anary and how talented she is.  She's also become a very sweet and dear friend to me and I think she's one of the most caring people I have ever met.  I hope the Gilli's are a huge success and wish Anary the very best!
