I know...I know...and more photos***EDITED***

I know...tim's images are up...

Where are mine, you ask? ** EDITED** They are @ the bottom of the post.
THANK YOU ZACH!

I will post them just as soon as I get the PDF files from Zach, the Stampers Anonymous computer genius...I asked...I'm waiting...

But in the meantime here's another "versatile" example...

Remember this from the other day??

You liked the border...



Here's the actual stamp...it's a tree...




But...stamped upside down...you can create a cool leafy border...

Versatile...

Here's more studio 490 CHA samples to hold you over...and keep you coming back...


I'm in love with the butterfly...I LOVE the dimension...





We had tons of requests for the scrolls to be individual stamps...Now they ARE!

The pointing finger is fun... there is also one that points to the left...





And by popular request...more leaves. They work well with lots of projects...

And ...there's more..........

we have a giant gingham background stamp...

a giant polka dot background stamp...

that cool mini bingo background stamp...

and...a special INCHIE stamp. I was totally impressed with the inchie art I saw while teaching in Arizona...I thought those art chicks needed an INCHIE stamp...check it out...below...

Here's the leaf border that I showed (on the heart) the other day...but...used a different way.

Think... VERSATILE... The background is a textured giant background...




I have to say that I am THRILLED with this studio 490 release... I have had a blast playing with them...

OK...on to some Maya Road CHA projects..

This little gear album is only about 4 inches across...See why I'm THRILLED with the mini alphas???
LOTS of letters fit in a small space...
LOTS of options now...





More mini letters, inside the new scroll frame, that has been misted with charcoal Maya Mist...

The background & letters are my favorite...vintage photo distress ink..




The houses are always so much fun to play with... and I LOVE it...another style brown flower...





This is the back cover of the square banner book.


New flowers...BROWN! COOL!

New sheer...

New scroll...a mini! And more of those mini letters...





Well...that's it until the files come.

I'll be back just as soon as I can...with an update...


Until then...

I need to...


Make art!

LOVVE, love, love them!!! which do i like the best ... hmmmmm, that butterfly has me, but the back grounds ... i can't get past wanting to stamp those backgrounds on everything!!! Ideas .... i've got metal in mind!!!

Lori said...

WOW! Great sets! I'm a nature nutcase, so I love the Mail Art (tree) and the Nature's Art set, because of the butterfly, but that background is awesome too. I love your sayings and phrases. That butterfly looks great as a dimensional piece, and so do the leaves. I'm thinking lots of chipboard and grungeboard.

Lisa Pace said...

YAY... I love them ALL Wendy. Great stamps. I'm so excited for you!

Rhonda said...

WOW,these stamp sets are fantastic, so many possibilities...I'm thinking of some new inchie art to jazz up my office....so difficult to pick a favorite, love them all!

carpediem said...

Great sets Wendy! I've gone through them over and over again and can't pick a fav. Love them all! Your project samples are so inspiring!

Margie Higuchi said...

Are you serious..pick one? OY!

The one set that stands out to me TODAY is Life & Art set. But all are just too cool!

Congrats, Wendy - you're going to knock their socks off @ CHA!

Valonda L. said...

Good job. These look really fun. I love all of the backgrounds so much. But my favorite set of all has to be the Mail Art set. That tree is just to perfect. I love it.

Unknown said...

I love them ALL! Off the top of my head, I would love to use the flowers stamped on grungeboard, inked, layered and attached to a pin so I can wear it and show it off!

Lynne Forsythe said...

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! I wasn't going to say.......hey tims are up....guess someone else took care of that for me! heheheheh
My Faves....really hard to pick but I think my top 3 are Natures Art, Forever Art and Mail Art...Love that you are keeping the "art" theme!!! What will i do with them......oh who knows..drool first then Create, Create, Create!!

Linda M. Cain said...

Terrific! My favorite is the Itty Bitty Bingo background stamp!

Never enough background stamps!
Linda

Carole said...

Mail art mail art mail art - LOVE THEM !!!

Cecile Nichols said...

These are fantastic, Wendy!

I'm partial to the Bingo background! Hmmmmmm..... Love it, but I love the rest of them too!!!

Great set, Wendy!!

Cecile

Cecile Nichols said...

I should have added that these art pieces are also fantastic. The details are so interesting and I can't wait to get my hands on your stamps!!!

D's Paper Studio said...

I'm glad I don't have to pick. I'm shooting to get them all. I'm really in love with the bingo background stamp. I can see that stamped on a background paper, adhered to grungeboard, cut apart in squares, inked around the edges, curled a bit, and put it back together like a puzzle and use it as a piece to a layout or other art. I love all the sayings very much Wendy!!!

Sharon said...

Wow - Wendy, these are all terrific. And I too love the inchie art and have been wanting to dip my toe in that arena. Maybe its the pinkie toe!!
My favorites would have to be the Mail Art and the Life and Art - not that I dont like the others, I do, but those spoke to me first.
Count me in.

Kathy Eddy said...

i love the Natures art with the butterfly. I am thinking grungeboard layered and inked. I also would love to have the bingo bitty background set. Very cool. I still need to go out and get the pointsettia after seeing your stuff in Madison last Nov. Could kick myself for not getting it then! kathy Eddy

Barb said...

Agree with Linda....bingo background stamp.....very versatile!

But all are awesome!

Escape said...

Favorites? You mean we have to pick ONE??? You know they will ALL end up in my stash!! These are uber-fantabulous--just as we knew they would be!

Love the background from Forever Art & the fun pieces in Mail Art. Can't wait to get my hands on them!! CONGRATS!!!

Emily B said...

Interested in a giveaway? HELLO!?!

I love how you used the tree as a leafy border - must have!!

Merriweather said...

I love the tree border, too and the whole set of stamps that go with it. I think I am going to move those right to the top of my want list.

Janet Ang said...

Hi Wendy, Just stumbled on your blog because I'm considering on going on the Mexico cruise with you and Tim. I would have to say that I love the Nature Art set since butterflies are my fave!

Sherri said...

my favorite set is the Mail Art; however, I love the little bingo card background and love the thought of "Today...another chance to make your dreams come true"

Needless to say, I might have to have them ALL.

Don't tell Tim, but I like your art parts better than the one he is releasing ;)

Sue said...

My fav would be the Life and art set, love the background especially! Not that I would be distressed if I were to be given ANY of the others!! LOL
Sue

Brian K said...

I love the bingo set! I love all the backgrounds! Yes, you really do NEED to do a giveaway.

kokomogoldie said...

It's so hard to choose just one that's a favorite. But I'd have to say anything with flowers always works for me. But actually they all would work for me!!

Jeanne said...

Love all these! I'm really taken with all the backgrounds. Probably Nature's Art will be first on my list, if I HAVE to prioritize.

Mary W said...

Seriously!?!? Pick one?!?! Are you kidding! I LOVE THEM all! I really adore the bingo background and dot background. But, I love the flowers too!!! And, the sayings. See, SERIOUSLY, no one can pick just one!!!

Wish I was going to CHA to see you!

Take Care!

Tami Bayer said...

Beautiful new stamps. I can just imagine using the nature's art set with stitching and fabric. It reminds me of 1950's aprons and sewing. Wonderful.

Mary said...

I think having a give-away is always something to get super excited about and I think that Beautiful Butterfly in Nature's Art is my favorite. I love butterflies and it would be the perfect image for the
3-D Valentine's Day card I want to create for my four daughters.

MooMoo said...

I LOVE all of them and can't wait to get my hands on each one. I have to have ALL of the background stamps and love the new flowers. I will never send a plain envelope again. Thank you for sharing your creativity.

Aliogator said...

I just love them all! They are so great! My fave is the Funky Flower Art set! My other favorites are Nature's Art and Mail Art. I think you should spread out the winnings so more people win! Thanks for having a giveaway!

BethW said...

Normally I'm a butterfly person-I love the tree. Turning it upside is totally cool and something I would never have thought of. Thanks for the heads up. I say split them up-let #1 pick their fav 4 and the runner up gets the other 3.
I wouldn't cook either. The world needs to see your talent.

Sudie said...

just love the tree, the butterfly, the bingo, love them all!

My head hurts thinking of all the fun I am going to have with them!

Vicki in MD said...

These are all some fantastic sets. I love Nature's Art, Mail Art and Life in art. I can see the tree with the butterfly layered.

Unknown said...

At the risk of being redundant, these stamps are wonderful! It is hard to pick just 3. I have narrowed it down to Mail Art, Funky Flower Art, and Nature's Art. These are just the stamps I need to complete a couple of projects I am working on - a bridal album and a memories album of my husband for my son. I can't wait to get my hands on them and .... MAKE ART!
