Product Spotlight- Elephant
Hello and welcome to the FIRST Product Spotlight of 2011!
Last year we did this feature once a month, but after getting so much wonderful feedback, we have added an additional one each month. That's right...you will see TWO of these amazing posts each month!
I had no trouble choosing the first stamp I wanted to feature- I knew right away that the G152 Elephant was a must. This stamp is great for cards all year round! Let's take a peek at the gorgeous cards by the design team!

Thank you to all who made the Simply Scallops Blog Hop a huge success! I must say, I think this was the best hop yet! There were so many beautiful cards; my head was overflowing with ideas at the end of the hop. I hope that YOU left feeling inspired as well.

Valentine Sweetness
Hello there!
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I'm hoping that many of you have already done the Simply Scallops Blog Hop. If not, there is still time to leave your comments! Tomorrow morning we'll be announcing the winners of this hop, then we'll be posting the details of the next one!
Today I have some b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l Valentine cards by DT member, Ayana. For those new to our blog, Ayana is known to create vibrant, happy cards. She has such a knack for all the small details, and her creations always put a smile on my face. These ones are no exception!
This first card is so unique- I've never seen this color combination on any card before! How fun is that multi-colored sentiment and those hearts? For this card, she pulled out the new Hearts stamp set, the Happy Valentine's Day sentiment and the Mini Heart.
This card made my heart skip a beat. I love how Ayana combined a bright color with a normally rich one. The design at the bottom of the card is a combination of the Small Heart Outline and the Hearts stamp set. Isn't that neat? Then for the top layer, she used the With All My Heart and Heart Border.
We have just put together our latest Idea Sheet PDF. With Valentine's Day right around the corner, we thought you might need some card inspiration. This particular one features almost all new stamps- we just can't stop using them. :)
Thanks for stopping by the DeNami blog today. We'll see you tomomrrow!

One of my favorite parts about this card is the unique color combination. The contrast of the Brown Kraft card with the Navy card is so pretty! Then adding the Hot Pink grosgrain bow adds just the right amount of color.
Stamps: Teeny Heart, Single Tweety Bird, Birdcage, Pedestal, Curly Garland Border
Paper: White, Brown Kraft, Navy
Paper: White, Brown Kraft, Navy
Did you know that such a cute card could be made so quickly? Not only would this be a super cute Valentine's Day card, you can use it for weddings as well!
I hope you enjoyed today's card and video! See you tomorrow with some Valentine goodness you won't want to miss!

January Guest Designer
Today I have some exciting news to share- the January Guest Designer! The ever-so-talented Ashley Cannon Newell will be joining us for the month of January. This woman is amazing! Not only does she regularly update her fabulous blog, she is also the founder of Embellish Magazine AND is regularly featured in Cards and Paper Crafts magazine. (One of her cards featuring DeNami is in the January issue of Cards!)
I have had the sweet privilege of meeting Ashley a few times. I must admit, I was a tad bit intimidated to say hello to her at first- she is so well-known in the paper craft world! After chatting with her, I saw that she is incredibly down to earth and also a ton of fun!

Ashley has created numerous cards featuring DeNami Design in the past- I had to show you some of my favorites!
If you haven't visited Ashley's blog before, I'd like to encourage you to do so. She always has such amazing creations, plus occasionally she'll post videos!
We are so thrilled to have Ashley with us in January! Be sure to keep an eye out for her beauties with the design team group posts this month!

January 3
Good morning, DeNami friends!
A big thank you to all who have left comments on our blog and Facebook about the new release! I had such a great time reading them all! I'm hoping that 2011 we can continue to provide you with inspiration, and possibly some new surprises along the way. Be sure to continue to let all your friends know about us!
{{Have you entered the DeNami giveaway yet? Click here for the details.}}
Since the design team had SO many wonderful cards to share with the new stamps, I thought I'd show you the "extras" that weren't featured yet. Ready? Let's take a peek....
All of these DeNami DT girls are extremely talented, and I am beyond blessed that they are part of our team. If you haven't visited their blogs yet, be sure to do so! Soon, I'll do little features so you can get to know each of them a little better. Until then, be sure to visit their blogs. :)
Hope your 2011 is off to a great start! Just a quick reminder: today is the last day to sign up for the Scallops Blog Hop coming on Sunday! Click here for the details!
See you tomorrow!

Spring/ Summer 2011 RELEASE
Happy January 1st to all of you!
Click the graphic to view all of the newest stamps!
It's the day you all have been waiting for....the NEW release has officially landed! It has been so fun to see the excitement about the new collection- you all are truly the best! We are so happy that the day has finally arrived where these new stamps & accessories go live! I know you all are dying to get to the shopping cart, so I'll wrap up this post quickly. :)
Click the graphic to view the PDF.
A few months back, we released a PDF with a checklist of all of our stamps. Since the new collection is here, we wanted to be sure you all had an updated list! This is such a great way to keep track of what DeNami stamps you currently own.
We will be back in the office on Monday. It's been so nice to have a break, but I'm excited to get back to work! We'll start processing orders (in the order they came) right away, so hopefully it won't be too long before YOU can get the new products in your hands!
Again, thank you all SO much for your support and enthusiasm. I will see you back on Monday with some more cards by the design team. They had so many to share- I had to add another day! :)
Have a great rest of your weekend! Happy shopping!
P.S. If you missed the giveaway news in the previous post, click here.
