for your viewing pleasure...
REMEMBER...you can click to see them larger!
Starting with the 5 small sets...
The storage sheet for these are about 70% of the size of the large...
you'll see the small storage sheet has 7 scallops instead of the regular 10...
they have 2 holes & still fit the acrylic binder...
OK...#1...
I LOVE houses...
had to make us a house...
use the whole stamp or cut out just the house or use the saying...
I want to use just the (DOOR) alphabet several times & make a border...
another small set ...
here's the bottle and label!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE these words...
REALLY!
#4...the register page makes a GREAT small background stamp...
it's a decent size...about 2 1/2 x 4...
it has turned into a go-to FAVORITE...
Here's the heart from the tag I showed you...
and #5 has that top & MORE!
The large dots are a good filler...
SO...that's the 5 smaller sets...
On to the 7 large sets...
Lots of questions about the scallops on the tags I've been posting......
Oh my, I can't wait until we can order your book. Question- the scallop edge that you are using your new stamp on, how is that cut?
Yippee! I have the first book and love it. I can't wait to get the next one.The cut scallop edge on the bototm of the tags, was that hand cut or die cut?
stamp the scallop stitches toward the bottom of the tag...with the rounded out part toward the bottom of the tag & cut with scissors...
that stamp makes it simple to cut scallops!
The paper fastener label is sized to cut with a circle punch...
The button holes make a fun border...
add a button over the stitches...simple!
The Measure slip fits with the "Fashion Style & Art" set...
or it's fun for a collage...
or...it can be the cover for a mini book...
it's a nice size...
or just as a background...
The "SHOPPING" saying makes me laugh!
the face is @ the top of my favorite list...
and the leaves...
and the ticket...
YIPPEE...a houndstooth background...
nice & worn looking...
LOVE the weeds too!
and the long alphabet...
We NEEDED more leaves & I'm quickly becoming addicted to the PLAID background...
LOVE the large flower too...
Don't miss the tiny row of numbers...top left...
I HAD to squeeze that one in...
too cute to save 'til the next release...
These will be great fun for collages...
FUN lips for love-y dove-y cards...
Valentine's Day...
or...just a funny saying...(bite me!) ha!
WHO SAID THAT? YIKES...
and we got 2 LARGER roses!! YIPPEE...
The clock fits a circle punch...
LOVE LOVE LOVE the giant background and the saying!
and...finally...the bird!
The background is cool as is...
or stamp it, turn it 90 degrees and stamp it again to make a totally different looking...
PLAID!
Ok...there you have it...
I'm thrilled to be able to show you my babies...finally!
I'm especially thrilled because we got up @ 4am...
with LOTS to do...
however...
we had no power, due to an ice storm...
got the generator going...
then the power came back up about 7...
& went off again...
and FRIED the computer monitor...
we tried everything with NO SUCCESS...
I was panic stricken...and about in tears...
how could I leave town & not show you after all the teasing...
So Rick buzzed to Staples...got us a monitor & we're back in business after a few MORE grey hairs...
Several people asked...
love the samples! Do you have scheduled times for your demos at the Ranger booth? I am going to CHA for the first time and am so excited!!
I'll be demoing in the Ranger booth ...
Sunday 10-3
Monday 9-11 and 12-3
Tuesday 9-12 and 3-5:30
Wednesday 12-3
If you were lucky & got into Tim's Saturday classes...
I'll be there helping him.
Please introduce yourself if you are a blog friend!
I'll post the contest details tomorrow...
before we take off.
From the bottom of my heart...
thanks so much for the kind words and for being such good sports with all the teasing.
I hope it wasn't torture.
YOU GUYS ARE GREAT!
While I'm gone...
YOU...
make art!
wendy
You granted my wish. Thank you thank you! I LOVE all of these stamps! I wish I could get my hands on them now!!!!! I am so sorry to hear of your computer woes. Ice storms - GRRRRR. That's all I will say about that. You have brightened up a gloomy day here in Illinois. Have a great time and be safe!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE ALL of your stamp sets! Thank you! Have fun at CHA!
ReplyDeleteLove all the stamp sets. I wish I could buy them right now.
ReplyDeleteSue
Oh, my gosh, Wendy! Your peeks had us knowing the new stamps were going to be great - but ... WOW!!!!!! I want them ALL! I am so glad CHA's at the end of my busiest work time - I'd be in lots of trouble, trying to use new products at home when I should be at work ... *lol* Seriously, Wendy, these are all veryveryVERY wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rick, for getting a new monitor this morning! You're the man!
Soak up some sunshine in CA for us midwesterners, ok?
Thanks so much for making sure we got to see these before you left. These stamps are great - I'm now going searching for bits and bobs of "sewing" stuff to go with Just so Artsy - LOVE IT! How about some scissor charms and vintage buttons? Have a good time at CHA.
ReplyDeleteSo, so, so worth the wait! Thanks! Have a great time at CHA.
ReplyDeleteIrresistible!! I totally love that bottle and label!! I think that will be my first item on the list...followed by the huge background and all the other sets - oh my! I wish I were able to go to CHA - I really feel like I'm missing out. Does just about everyone go? (Except me?) Give Tim some love & hugs from us too....and enjoy yourself! Thanks to your hubby too for going out to get you back "ON" :)
ReplyDeleteLove the large backgrounds and nature stuff. I already have a lot of eye stamps...but it's a great set for someone who doesn't have any yet! Looking forward to the book. Safe journeys!(The rain should be leaving...but like the song says..."It never rains in California, but when it does, it really pours!" Just don't drive through any standing water(not talking just puddles...but large expanses of water). You never know how deep it is and how fast it can be moving. We lose people(and by this I mean they die) every year because they ignore the warning signs. Even the posted ones! And there has been flooding throughout the state...so just be careful. It's not clear how long it will take for the flooding to be gone.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful collection of stamps. The bold leaves in the last two collections are my favourites. Yummy! Hope it won't be long 'til they get to the UK.
ReplyDeleteI am in IL too and am living thru the ice......I am lucky that my power has not gone out. I'm sorry about the monitor.....that would have set me on edge or tears as you say. The stamps are fantastic...I want them too. All this new stuff is going to cost me a bright shiny penny...I'm saving them. Cleaned out the bottom of my purse and found lots of change to put in my crafty bank. Thank you and enjoy your time at CHA.....kh
ReplyDeleteI am sooooo happy you showed us your new sets before you left for ?Cali! Can't wait to see them in person and own them myself! Have fun at the show...I know how much you love to do the demos...I would too, if I were you! Come back safely, so you can make us some more art!
ReplyDeleteBe still my heart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI just about had an ART attack!
Wendyyyyyyy, I WILL go broke! But I will be good,
I'm going to buy only 7 or 8 or 9 of these new stamp sets. Not ALL. I don't want to be a hoarder:))))
Have fun. Hi Rick! You too!!!
Love the stamps, Wendy!!! How will I ever decide which to get first... I know, all of them :-)
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Love them all! Gotta go look for another part-time job now!
ReplyDeleteYour husband is the BEST! He has our gratitude. Pack your rain gear it is pretty wet here in SoCal. I will also be at CHA but I was unable to get into Tim's workshop. I will be a sponge at all demos.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the larger roses. All the eyes are amazing too. The shopping list just grows and grows! I hope you have fun at CHA. All the work will be worth it when you see the joy on people's faces when they see your new stuff!
ReplyDeleteYou are a WICKED woman Wendy- but we love you! and your new stamps - Everything is just amazing, stupendous, lovely (fill in extra adjectives here)!!
ReplyDeleteBig Thank You to Rick for an emergency run to town for emergency electronics. You are a Hero! Safe travels to CHA - hope you have a wonderful trip.
p.s. Did I see the word Contest?? Hmm...
I thought Tim was killing me, then I came here. So much to look at, my head is spinning, my heart is racing. I'm not a youngster you know, and I'd hate to have to explain to the ER doc: "well, I was feeling fine and then I saw some stamps, and that's the last thing I remembered before waking up here."
ReplyDeleteI'm off now to meditate and get my heart rate down to a manageable number.
Eileen (who is palpitating) in NYC
Oooo they are fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteFunny when I see the scallop I see the opposite I see cuttting out the scallop to get a postage stamp LOL!
I guess art is in the eye of the beholder. :)
Thanks for the heroic efforts to show us the new stamp sets! They're wonderful. Can't wait until I can get some of them. We've been drowning here in Southern California...hopefully the weather will improve by the weekend!
ReplyDeleteThese are all so amazing!!! How soon can I buy these?!
ReplyDeleteWendy Lou, you have seriously outdone yourself on these! I cannot wait to get my hands on all of them! Have fun @ the show!
ReplyDeleteI am getting them ALL - they are so cute. Can't wait for the book too.
ReplyDeleteSorry for the grey hairs but we do appreciate it because your new stamps are freakin awesome! I especially love the An Eye For Art, It's Face Art, Be Inspired...Make Art and Just Word Art... Love them!!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great time at the CHA - reminder again - camera, empty storage card, batteries.... Can't wait!!!
I had to keep pinching myself after each sneak peek...now I KNOW they're for real! Stupendous job on all the sets...now to get them ordered and in my hands asap. Have a super time at CHA!
ReplyDeleteOooooh Wendy -- you've used my FAVORITE lady -- I collect stamps of her!!! Did you know that her name is Julia and that she came to fame thanks to Fornasetti who has used her in many of his designs? She is so lovely, and so "pure". I can't wait to get hold of these wonderful new stamps. Thank you so very much!!!

ReplyDeleteLove the roses and the bird and the heart and and ...can't decide, love them all!
ReplyDeleteOh, Wendy! I HAVE to HAVE every single set....you have outdone yourself. All the peeks were fun but seeing the actual stamps is so much better! My husband better get a second job!
ReplyDeleteGreat stamp sets Wendy! Keep making art, you are a great inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThese new stamps rock ... but then I knew they would ... I love them and I love Rick too ... what a star he is for understanding us bloggers and our needs!

Wow, I love these, I have only been collecting your stamps for around 3 months, I have 4 sets so far and was planning to buy 5 more after I get paid at the end of this month.Your stamps are so addictive Wendy, I get the one I want, then it's not enough. Now I have a longer wish list. Have a fantastic time at CHA!
ReplyDeleteOh my! Stunning collection!

ReplyDeleteGreat stamps, Wendy! Looking forward to seeing them at CHA. See you soon!
ReplyDeleteHow did you know "Bite Me" is my favourite expression? Now I have to have that set just to make something fun to send to you!
ReplyDeleteOf course, I'll need them all: they're all so gorgeous.
glad you were able to get a new monitor. Rick is a treasure. we too had ice/snow/sleet/rain and the slipperies. we had power but not internet from yesterday afternoon until this morning. so i am getting a double dose of sneaks today. but had to wait until after errands and getting the windshield wipers on my car fixed. another victim of the ice storms we have had this year. it was definitely worth the wait though.
ReplyDeleteenjoy cha. hope it is warm and sunny while you are there.
Wowza, they are all GREAT!!! Love the new backgrounds!!
ReplyDeleteI love all of your new stamps, and I cannot wait to get your second book. I have worn out your first book and I cannot wait to so the same to your second one. You are so talented. Have fun at CHA!
ReplyDeleteUmmm...Ummmm...which stamp set to get...I'm thinking all of them! Yup, all of them...that's what I'll do. :)
ReplyDeleteWendy -
ReplyDeleteYou have outdone yourself! The stamps are just fantastic! I NEED them all! I bow to you Oh Queen of "Make Art"! I forgive all the teasing, the wait was so worth it. Have lots of fun at CHA and be safe.
Elaine Allen
Outstanding stamps!!!
ReplyDeleteCn't wait to get some!!!
Thanks Wendy!!
Yayyyy Wendy!!! Finally got to see the long awaited "rubber babies". Love them!!! Well worth the wait, and there are several that I must have!! Sorry to hear about the ice storm and computer woes. We lucked out just over the border in WI...little bit of sprinkles, but no freezing!! Your new "babies" rock, and so do you!! Thanks, Rockin Robin Caldwell
ReplyDeleteWhat a WONDERFUL assortment! I am going to have a hard time deciding what to buy first. I seriously need to start playing the lottery.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great collection of stamp sets you have designed~ I want them all!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a SweetHeart Rick is to get a new monitor so we could see the stamps we've been TEASED with for more time than I care to recall! Thank you so much!
Have a great time at CHA!
I can't believe I didn't notice your post yesterday - yikes - it must be cos I was too excited opening my mail with another WV set of stamps in it (couldn't wait for the new releases, lol....) LOVE so many of these straight away, not sure how I'm going to decide where to start, have a great CHA, wish I could be there. See you back soon.
ReplyDeleteWow. I do love them all. I guess my very favorite one is Be Inspired or maybe Well Worn Art or maybe Handmade Art. Guess I will have to get a new acrylic binder too, 'cause I want them all!!!
ReplyDeletethanks, tara

ReplyDeleteWendy~ You have rocked these stamps...I love too many of them! At this moment my faves are the face, and the houndstooth....but on next glance I will see others that I MUST have as well! See you at CHA...so excited to see it all in person!
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love technology? It's always so convenient, until one little thing happens, and then BOOM! it's like the end of the world! Gotta love that Rick though ... he did just what my Rick would've done. We got some great guys. Have a great time at CHA, and don't work too hard.--Stephanie
ReplyDeleteI love them all, so choosing one seemed tough, until I saw the one ... it just YELLED out to me ... the one with the big flower, the small numbers & the plaid. I've been in love with that flower since the first sneak peek of it! I want to stamp it on some grunge paper & add it to my cruise bulletin board!--Stephanie
ReplyDeleteIf I must choose a favorite....it's Well Worn Art.
ReplyDeleteI love the bird set, too.
Way too hard, Wendy!
WTG
Oh Wendy...how can we choose a favourite?? They are all to die for!! I want them all. Seriously, I can't wait to get hold of them, they are all so inspiring. Have fun at CHA!
ReplyDeleteDonna x
It's hard to choose just one but I love the one with the bottle on it (scs030 I think).
ReplyDeleteI think it would so much fun to fill that bottle with all kinds of things.
Freddi C
OH MY GOODNESS!!!! I need these stamps!I can't wait until they come out because I WILL own them! Love them Wendy....love them!! Especially those sewing ones! Yum!
