Our phone number HAS changed...

...the local New Holstein phone number is gone, and you can to reach us thru our toll-free number (866-stamps-5) whether you are local or anywhere in the US OR Canada!!!!!

So if you normally called us with the 898 number, write down the toll-free in its place, and just use that. Toss that old number out!

Don't forget the store is only open by appointment as I have another job, so it is most likely that I will not answer the phone, but will call you back as soon as I can.

Thanks for understanding and updating your records so you can keep in touch with us at CowTown Stamps!

I added 50+ brass stencils listed at 40% off in the last few days!






I've been listing Christmas brass stencils tonite on the web page, you can see them here, and then scroll down that page (of course take a look at the other clearance stuff on the way to the Christmas ones) to see the newly added. More than 50 stencils added in the last few days!! I have 1 shoe box full of stencils to list; they are kind of putzy cuz I am adding a new product for each one so its less confusing and I can use the inventory feature so it keeps track of how many there are available. 

Pictured are some Ive listed in the last few days.

Updated Gallery

I've been updating the gallery, and web page's individual stamp pages with the images I put in the gallery most of today; check out the gallery on the top banner of our main web page. Look in the design team folder marked 2 design team (its the 2nd folder) and the customer's cards. The design team sent me these cards a while ago and I'm getting caught up in adding them. 

Don't forget to scroll down to the post about our biz's phone number. We want you to be able to get in touch with us easily!

Customer card!


This card is by Jean Snyder, a customer who emailed me her card of the bear in the bathtub. Thank you Jean for sharing!

More cards by our Design Team!





These cards are by Jeanette Waters of our design team.  2 of our stamps, the small mouse on the weed and the rose buds (trees are not our stamp) are in one card; and the other uses our stipple roses stamp. The black and white rosebud shows a lovely contrast to color--don't be afraid to try a black and white card! The Ume blossom card shows one of our Japanese designs drawn by Hiromi in Japan, on top of the 4 pots no flowers stamp. That stamp you can put ANYTHING on the flower stems to create numerous fun cards!

New cards from our Design Team



Here are a couple new cards from our designer Denise Clark. She created the "it doesn't matter where you go in life, its the doxie you have beside you" and "do you want the long or short version" cards. And the pink backed card has those cute little "skittles" on the right side, blue, green and red. You don't eat the skittles, they are glued on to cards or lo's for a cool accent!

Thanks Denise!
