Posted by on Jan 22, 2012 in Cookie Stamps, Latest Designs | 2 comments

British Isles Cookie Stamp Series

Scotch-Irish by heritage, I have always been drawn to the imagery of the British Isles.

This series of Classic Cookie Stamps celebrates that heritage, and the immigrants who came to this country and made it home.

Thistles

ThistleThe Thistle is a rugged plant that has adapted to harsh conditions and still graces the world with delicate lavender blooms. How perfect for it to be the Scottish national flower.





Shamrocks

ShamrockA touch of Ireland, for St. Patrick’s Day and all the year.







Celtic Cross

Celtic CrossThis Cookie Stamp design was adapted from an ancient design found in Ireland.






Claddagh

CladdaghThe symbolic Claddagh emblem includes a heart for love, a crown for loyalty and hands for friendship. Lovely in a ring, delightful for a cookie to be shared with those you hold dear.

    Hello Lucy…They are just beautiful. It’s so wonderful that you are staying young by continuing to create and continuing to work.. 2 things the same but different:-) Can you please show photos of the handles of these stamps including the heart series. I do love the new handles on the reindeer, santa face, tree and snowflake. Those handles are so much more workable than the beautiful stamps with the fancy figural handles. Of course I have most of those too:-)
    When and where are the heart and british isle stamps available???
    Thank you for bringing more cookie joy into our lives!

      Hi, Maria,

      I’m glad you like the new stamps. All stamp handles are the same fluted shape as the Christmas ones, but glazes are different for each series. The Heart stamps have a lavender glaze, and the Celtic/British Isles stamps are muted green. The previous stamps with the figured handles were fun , but some were a little hard to use. Personally, I prefer the simpler shape of these new ones.

      Both sets of stamps have been available only since Monday, January 23, so I don’t think any stores have them in stock in any quantities yet. Sweet’n Fancy in New Jersey does have a pretty good supply of Hearts, and they should get in their order of British Isles stamps the first week in February. Check the “Find A Store” tab for New Jersey for contact information.

      Happy baking,
      Lucy
