July 3rd 2009 Stampavie has released a wonderful new collection of photopolymer clear stamps by Sarah Kay. This eight-stamp collection is inspired by love, friendship and nature. Discover 'Elodie in her garden', 'How sweet you are', 'Spring is back' and the rest of this new collection here. About Sarah Kay : An art school graduate, Sarah Kay began her career working for an advertising agency in Australia. When her daughter became seriously ill, Sarah Kay needed something to entertain her. She began to draw happy children, set in peaceful and natural backgrounds, recollections of her own childhood spent on her grandparents' farm. With 20 sketches ready, she sent them to one of Australia's largest greetings cards publishers... and the rest is history. Sarah Kay's drawings quickly grew beyond the realm of greetings cards and can be found in books, dolls, puzzles, bed linen, clothes, school bags, table wear and more. Sarah Kay is discreet by nature, avoiding all advertisements and interviews and working in complete secrecy, rendering each of her works all the more precious. Sarah Kay depicts the peaceful universe we all seek, one of childhood happiness, sweetness, love and tenderness. April 11th 2009 A Leerè Aldrich angel policy has now been released.

March 24th 2009 We´ve been doing a bit of spring cleaning at STAMPAVIE, starting with a good ol´freshening up of our website! We first of all wanted to improve your browsing experience. By removing the product menu which used to be visible at the left of the site, we can display more pictures and project examples as you browse our products. Cool, huh? You can see the new way we show our products by clicking on a designer under the "Our products" menu. Want something completely new? You can now sign up for newsletters containing sneak peeks, interviews with our designers, project ideas, tutorials, give-aways and more. You can sign-up or sign-off any time you like. Just type in your email and you´re all set! We´ve also added new tutorials and ideas under "Learning". We´ll be adding new items regularly, so look out for that. Retailers will be reassured to find all their usual links and information when they log in under the "Retailer Access" menu (it expands with additional links when logged in). We hope you enjoy our new site and that it's pleasurable for you to use! February 2nd 2009
