The entire collection is on special release sale through midnight pacific May 2! 
 
 
I know you’re going to love these new designs and will want them all so I’ve put the Digi Stamps on their own in a DIGI BUNDLE and the SVG Collection in a MEGA BUNDLE for you!  In each bundle you get the Japanese Clouds Background digi stamp as a FREEBIE in addition to saving some $$$$!  Each set is available individually as well!
 

 
 First up are the 7 sets of 6 designs and 4 sentiments included in the
Cherry Blossom Digi Stamp Collection!
Get the Digi Bundle above or shop the individual sets below!
 
 
 This set includes a whimsical Japanese Geisha Doll and 2 Senties.  Kitty Geisha is a lovely girl dressed in a Cherry Blossom kimono with Cherry Blossoms and a paw print heart ornament in her hair.  She is cuddling a kitty and 2 more sit prettily at her feet.  Her lips as well as all the kitty noses are adorable little hearts.  Included in the set are 2 cat themed senties:
"Paws and Enjoy the Flowers" and "Cats Make Each Day PURRfect".
 
 
This set includes a whimsical Japanese Geisha Doll and 2 Senties.  Parasol Geisha is a lovely girl dressed up in a Cherry Blossom kimono with Cherry Blossoms in her hair.  She smiles prettily with her heart shaped lips beneath her Cherry Blossom decorated parasol.  Included in this set are 2 Senties that are perfect for your May makes:  “April Showers Bring May Flowers” and “Happy Mother’s Day”.
 
 
This beautiful floral design is the perfect compliment to the Geisha Doll sets and equally as beautiful on its own.  Pair this set up with the other sets in the massive Cherry Blossom Collection for lots of Spring, Nature, Floral and Mother's Day themed makes.
 
 
This beautiful square frame is perfect for framing your Geisha Doll scenes and pretty much any sentiment.  Pair it up with the other designs in the Cherry Blossom Collection and make an instant impact on your makes of all kinds! 
 
 
This beautiful rectangle frame is so versatile and a definite must for your collections too!  Create your work of art before printing out both the square and rectangle frames or fussy cut them out and have lots of fun creating dimensional framed scenes and more!
 
Take your Cherry Blossom and Geisha Doll makes to a whole new level with this beautiful Pocket element!  I drew the Cherry Blossom Pocket design with 3 tabs for you to easily print and fussy cut out.  Fold in the tabs and fussy cut out the floral indentations along the folded edges for a nice finished look.  I've also included the design without the pocket tabs for even more creative fun!   You can create so many fun makes with this versatile pocket element!

Completing the Cherry Blossom digi stamp collection is this wonderful Japanese Clouds background design!  It’s the perfect backdrop for all your Japanese themed makes and more!

Starting with today's Cherry Blossom Collection release I've got 3 SVG Print and Cutz sets and 6 Lace Cutz sets for you to have soooo much fun with!  
 
All my SVG sets are designed in Silhouette Studio and are compatible with popular electronic cutting machines that support importing SVG files.  Each set also includes the same files in Silhouette’s Studio 3 file format for my fellow Silhouette users and the Print and Cutz sets also include png files for Cricut users as well as the Digi Stamp versions of the sets.
 
I’m busy compiling an SVG Info, Tips and Tricks page with lots of helpful info on using SVG files and more HERE so bookmark the page for easy reference!
 
This is just the beginning, there's no limit to all the SVG designs I plan to offer!  I will be releasing SVG designs from my existing collection of digi stamps as well as designing brand new ones too, I'm so beyond excited over the possibilities and hope you are tooπŸ˜‰
 

Buy the SVG Mega Bundle and get the Japanese Clouds digi stamp as a bonus FREEBIE
My SVG Print and Cutz sets include some of the Digi Stamp sets shown above so you don’t need to pick up both collections if you choose to get the SVG sets.  

SVG PRINT AND CUTZ
 
First up are 3 individual SVG Print and Cutz sets!
A Print and Cut means you can print the digi stamps using your own printer via your cutting machine and then cut them out.  You can also use your cutting machine's pens to draw the designs instead of printing too.  Please follow your brand of machine's instructions on how to do that.
 
I've provided everything you need in each SVG Print and Cutz set for fun and easy crafting!
You get the digi stamp with 2 offset border sizes as well as a no border cut.  This means you get to choose how much of a white border you want to fussy cut the digi stamp out with.  I've also included 2 mat layers for each version which you can use as a mat layer and a shadow layer or mix and match for different looks!  The Digi Sentiments come with one fussy cut border and 2 mat layers.
