Pink Paislee

Today I'm very excited to share a fairly new company with you ~ Pink Paislee! I was so impressed with their products after seeing them at CHA I knew I wanted to share this fun company with you!




Although Pink Paislee is a new company it doesn't mean that they are inexperienced in the crafting community. Prior to launching their company Rebecca and Barry Cross were the owners of an on-line scrapbook store and community. Be sure to check out their "About Us" page and find out how they got their Paisl"ee" name!

I spoke with Rebecca on how Pink Paislee came about and she said, "We launched our company in January 2008 after several months of planning and preparing designs with our product designer. In a nutshell we knew we wanted to go into manufacturing and once we found the right designer to create our products we moved forward with our plans!"

The designer she is speaking of is Holly McCaig, the master mind behind all of the fun designs and elements in their collection. Rebecca told me they work together about 6-8 months developing a line before it hits the shelves. Pink Paislee is planning on releasing 3 lines a year ~ Winter, Summer and a Holiday collection released in the Fall.

One thing I wanted to mention before I moved onto their amazing products is something they call "Our Passion for Pink". Taken from the web-site -

"We are passionate about "Pink". We are also passionate about doing our part to contribute to ongoing Breast Cancer research.

We are going to "Fight like a Girl" and help those who suffer from this disease by donating a portion of our proceeds to the Susan G. Komen Foundation."

This really says something about the type of people they are! Makes me like their product even more if that's possible!

On to the goodies.... I have to say I am in love with their newest release - Vintage Moon - which also happens to be their hottest seller at the moment! The combination of it's warm rich tones, vintage patterns and the whimsy of their darling little hoot owl is just too much fun to pass up! There are 2 stamp sets in this collection which are just as fun and desirable - Vintage Moon and Trick or Treat!


Speaking of stamps I know once you get a look at these you are going to fall in love with them! All of Pink Paislee's stamps are are clear photo polymer stamps. Rebecca adds that they are very much like a red rubber stamp in terms of quality. Very crisp, clean images! They can be mounted on any acrylic block. When they launched their company, Pink Paislee acquired an existing line of stamps called Pink.Sugar.Pop and repackaged those designs under the Pink Paislee brand. They have since launched several new styles of stamps which are a huge hit!


I have already mentioned my favorite stamp sets - Vintage Moon and Trick or Treat but there are oh so many more must have's.... Pop Fashion not only has several great art elements but it also includes some inspiring sentiments and numerals as well. On Schedule is a great set which would be perfect for making calendars, journals, and notebooks as well as adding dates to scrapbook lay-outs! Another favorite of mine is Office Lingo - a set of various informational type stamps which could be used for photo backs, scrapbooks, altered books, cards, journals, even the backs of ATC's!!


In addition to their stamp sets and paper collections Pink Paislee also offers coordinating products such as Top Siders - chipboard/sticker combinations; Paislee Press-Ons - amazing designs!!; Alpha Stickers in 2 fonts - Fashion Script & Holly Doodle; and more! Be sure to check it all out, I'm sure you won't be disappointed!!


Hope you have fun window shopping!!
And please feel free to post your favorites from Pink Paislee's family of collections as well!!

  1. Very cute stuff, thanks for the link. Not much of a pink girl (have 2 boys) so I'm loving the colors and designs of the vintage moon topsiders borders. And out of them all I have to give a 2 thumbs up for the Pop Fashion clear stamp set. Love that the clear stamps are non yellowing!! Some of mine are getting like that.
