Introducing In Tandem!

The excitement is building! ;) Today is our final preview of the FOUR stamp sets being released tomorrow at The Craft's Meow...and I do believe we're ending on a high note with In Tandem!! This small stamp set, designed by Nina B Designs for The Craft's Meow, packs a whole lotta punch!

I didn't know this, but a bicycle built for two (or more) is called a "tandem bicycle." I always think of the song when I see one. ;) I remember when I was little I wanted to try one out, but never got the chance. Have you ever ridden a tandem bicycle?

Anyway, before we get started on the previews, I want to announce the winner of Telegram randomly drawn from all comments left on yesterday's post. I mean it when I say we are jazzed by all your wonderful comments!! Thank you so much!!!

And the winner is:

Congratulations Tammy! Please email your address to me at thecraftsmeow@gmail.com and I'll get your prize to you. Enjoy!

Now for a look at this sensational stamp set put to artistic use by our amazing design team and friends. To see the entire cards, please click on the links below...

Would you like to win In Tandem for yourself? We'll draw one of you to win this wonderful stamp set from comments left here on this post. However, please leave some love for our designers as you hop around to see their cards... they love hearing from you as much as I do. ;) You have until 10:00 pm Pacific tonight to make the rounds and leave comments. We'll announce the winner in tomorrow's post. Enjoy and good luck!!!

Oh, and be sure to come back tomorrow for our new release blog hop and a chance to win the entire August release! Yay!!!

    Beautiful and stunning cards created with this set! I LOVE the bicycle, pinwheels, etc. Personally, I'm not quite as thrilled with the smushy non-crisp letters on the sentiments, but could be just something I'd have to play with and maybe grow to like!

    Oh yes, I ride one often. Hubby and I have not long returned from a few days in Holland where we thoroughly enjoyed riding our tandem. Lovely flat roads and so cycle friendly, loved every minute of it.

    Fabulous creations from the DT, I will thoroughly enjoy hopping through their blogs today.

    Sadly, I don't have any balance with a tandem or bicycle, that's why I have my adult tricycle with the cutest basket in the back!That would make the cutest stamp....think about it, just sayin'! LOL

    This looks like a BEAUTIFUL set! I love how the DT members' cards are so different. I was also very surprised to see the pinwheels because I thought it'd just be the tandem bike. I wrote this already on Nina's blog, but I love tandem bikes because I use it as an example when I teach "tandem" as a vocabulary word to my students. Thanks for all the inspiration!
