Layers of Color is no longer manufacturing our own stamps or selling them online.  The owner and artist, Laura Kirste Campbell is now a full-time product designer for major craft industry companies. You may  find that some Layers of Color stamps are still available through select retail locations (see “Find a store near you“.)

But, despite this bitter sweet transition, more new and unique Layers of Color style stamp designs designed by Laura will soon be available worldwide this Spring!

Of course, in the meantime, you can continue following Laura through this blog, permanently on Facebook and at her new Blog & Website (launching soon!)

A more detailed announcement is coming soon, but here are some things we can share…

• Later this year, Laura’s lines will be expanding into stencil, stickers, paper, and embossing folders!
• Laura has also recently been named, “Artist in Residence” for the IMAGINE Crafts design team featuring Tsukineko craft products, so keep an eye out for her new projects and techniques with IMAGINE Crafts!
• Laura’s new die template designs are being sold now through Spellbinders Paper Arts (see list below.)

Feel free to browse our extensive project GALLERIES and FLICKR group for card, scrapbooking and other stamping inspiration! And, please enjoy the Blog posts and inspirational artwork in our Faith Art Friday series.

If you would like to be kept up-to-date with the latest news, upcoming announcements and new releases, subscribe to this Blog and/or “like” our Facebook page. Our new website location will be posted on both very soon!

Good news and exciting things stirring here! On this CHA weekend I had expected to be able to share with you the name of the stamp company that will be carrying Nina and my new stamps…but we’ve had a wee little delay in the announcement. However, this actually works out in our favor as now our new line will be surrounded by the traditional fanfare that this company is known for! So please hang in there with us just a smidge longer and soon we’ll have not only the name to share, but sneak peeks of our latest stamps!

Meanwhile at CHA…Nina Brackett has been branded with Spellbinders and has her own NinaBDesigns die template line!! Her work has been my favorite and so all of us fans are so thrilled with this news! Congratulations, Nina! Nina also has some bling designs being released with Want2Scrap! Nina’s talents continue to shine and light up our creative world!

In light of the delay Layers of Color will keep the doors open with HUGE sales going on for one last week! Once we close, many of the stamps will not be available again, so now is the time to stock up for yourself and to get great gifts for your crafty friends! Afterwards Layers of Color website will remain live, without any products for a while with links to the new company and new products. I’m in the process of building the new site! I’ll keep you informed!

You are going to LOVE, love, love our next new release! We can hardly wait to share it all with you!!

It’s exciting to see my drawings become dies and very special to see what Spellbinders creative designers make with them!
