Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda offer a sophisticated line of unique, quirky and alternative images covering vintage, Steampunk, game pieces, collage, shrine, angel, gothic, horror and much more to excite your creative impulses!

To celebrate our grand opening we are throwing a 10 week long event (approx. 2 months) to showcase the stamps featured on the NEW IMAGE pages of both stamp lines so you've got plenty of time to come and play with us!

Win a $20 gift certificate to spend at either company or a combination of both!

NEWS ALERT REGARDING OUR MONTHLY CHALLENGES, SKELLIE-FEST AND FUTURE EVENTS! 

Please note that this announcement does NOT apply to this "New Stamp Release" event.  We want to see your fabulous creations featuring ALL of our stamps for this one ;0)
 
We have decided to lift our LCD/CV stamps only restriction for Skellie-Fest as well as our current #13 Numbers Challenge!  You can now use ANY stamp companies on your entries!  However, of course we want you to use our stamps so if you do use only LCD/CV stamps then your entry will count as two and double your chances at winning the prizes!
