  • One - Two stamp sets per month (this may be either clear or red rubber while we make the transition from rubber to clear stamps). DT members will need to provide a list of Rubbertree Enterprises stamp sets they own so that we can ensure each DT member receives sets they do not already own each month. The stamp set received will be random and may be an existing set or a new set at the discretion of ED.
  • Other products and supplies may be provided as they become available.
  • 25% discount on all ED stamps and supplies sold through ED.

Merry Christmas & 1st set

We hope that everyone had a very Merry Christmas and we pray for all to be so very blessed in 2009.

Our first set of "test" images has arrived. We're so excited that we will be posting some examples using this first set very soon. We'll be doing some tweaking to this set before it is final but the general idea will be there. We have a few designers starting out with us and I'm sure they will be coming up with some wonderful projects to post.

Stay tuned!
