No dirty dishes here! Just fun & creativity! That's the motto for Kitchen Sink Stamps and it's so true. I chose to have fun and create with Playful Alphabet and Pretty Petals. The fun patterns on both the letters and the petals immediately caught my eye. I've used clear stamps for a while now and these were a great addition to my growing collection. As the other reviewers have mentioned, Kitchen Sink Stamps are made of a high quality, long-life photo-polymer and the stamps are deeply etched and stick very well to the acrylic block. All of this adds up to a very positive clear-stamping experience. These are the kind of clear stamps you want to buy. I could continue to repeat more of what you've already read, but really it all boils down to great stamps, fun images and loads of possibilities for unique creations. As I often do when I sit down with new stamps, I try to stamp outside of the box--if I can create projects that a given set was not intended for (in addition to the obvious), then I know it's a set I'll keep coming back to. And these two passed the test...

This design practically jumped out of the packages at me and I *had* to stamp it first! The heart is from Playful Alphabet, with the flourish leaves from Pretty Petals posing as wings.


Did you know that flower petals could make such great turkey feathers and a hill to stand on?! Those patterns are just too cool!


Of course, I had to make a flower, too! With a little masking and layering, a sunflower is a breeze.


This dot reminded me of Target and I just couldn't resist--this little bag is the perfect size for a gift card!


Again, this dot just screamed peppermint and, paired with the alphabet and a little hand-lettering, a Christmas card was born!


Here's my standard "hi!" layout with a Christmas twist--these letters are perfect! Other short words, names or monograms would work well, too.


So that's what's in my sink... What's in yours?! And don't forget--you can win your very own Kitchen Sink Stamps on Maria's blog, The Kitchen Sink News. Find out how at the bottom of Sarah's post below. Good luck!
