6 on Saturday...


Ok...6 on Saturday & 6 on Sunday...studio 490 stamps that is!!!

that worked out well!

First large set...

I thought we needed a big flower, stem & leaves for larger projects...
and just you wait to see a cool variation of that flower...

I'm just sayin'
I'm in LOVE...

the leaves & stem coordinate with the large flowers in the current sets...

I actually used my original sketches this time, without having Zack, the computer genius alter them ...

I kind of liked the sketchy look...

and that table of numbers...makes a nice background...
be still my heart...


another large set...

the flowers are small & medium sized to be a perfect fit for the large flower we currently have...
so now we can use them alone or easily layer all 3 together...

the weeds are mini... again, with ATC's in mind...

the giant background is fun used with Ranger's Watermark Resist ink or Ranger's Perfect Medium .



another large set...
the bird is mini...perfect for ATC's...

the flower is very fun to chop apart & layer...
that's a tease...project photos closer to CHA...

the stem & leaves can also be used with other flowers...

remember the memo pin tutorial??
look @ all those numbers...


and another large set...

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the guy...
he makes me smile, because he looks like Ted! (Mr. Stampers Anonymous)

I had lots of requests for the eyes in a smaller size...
so...here they are...

and the polka dot border just makes me happy...

it's a good filler & a good background for small flowers...alphabets...


Ok...now a small set...

I just think this one is FUN...
again, lots of possibilities...

I'm happy to have some sayings for envelopes, boxes etc...



and #6...another small set...

since ATC's are so HOT...
now we have a mini house... LOVE IT!!!

and lots of ATC sized stamps...



So there you have it...the first 6 sets...

If you're wondering when will they be available...

The first sale date will be @ Carson California on July 10 & 11.
So if you are lucky to be able to attend...they will be sold there...

I spoke with Ted last week & the stamps are already made, packaged & will ship immediately after CHA ends...

Orders are shipped in the order they are received...

and I know FOR SURE that both eclecticPaperie & Simon Says Stamp place their orders within the first HOUR of CHA...

they literally RUN to the booth!

So they will be among the first to have them in stock...

Come back tomorrow & I'll show you the other 6 sets...

I'm excited to show you the set that has NO flowers and no large background...
I've used it LOTS...

if I say so myself...
I LOVE IT!

I'll be interested to hear what you think about my new babies...

I think they will be fun to...

make art...

I am so sorry to hear about your brother. But. . . I love the sketchy look to your new stamp sets. Way to go!

Debby said...

So sorry to hear the news of your brother. Chemo sounds like no fun but if it saves your life then that is the way to go. Will keep your family in my prayers. The new stamps are amazing! Thank you for sharing them with us.

Margie Higuchi said...

Hmm...time to start my wish list again! LOL! That pin tut that you had last month...well, I purchased those pins! LOL! You're such a bad influence on me ;0P Lovin' all your releases so far but that "Be Happy...Make Art" series definitely will be #1 on my list!

Continued prayers for good results on your brother's treatment, Wendy! xo

Unknown said...

Anita said...

Another amazing release!

Sharon said...

Love the bubble background...ok, you might think of it as circles...but I see it as a bunch of bubble. And I love the flower on the set with the tiny bird. Reminds me of a lotus flower if you cut off the stem. I love Chinese stuff...so I love lotus flowers. And the Swiss dot border stamp. Tiny dots. Love tiny dots. I know you love large polka dots...but I love the tiny dots. Take care. Looking forward till tomorrow.

Kathy said...

Seriously! (that guy is a must have.) And the small sets...and the 'sayings' oh geez gotta have all! Can't wait to see tomorrow.
(prayers with you and your family too.)

Ooohhh so yummy, I'm glad you can have as many babies as you want ;-) But I can't imagine what's left for tomorrow?? Hmmmmm, I'll be watching!

Still praying for you and your family. Thank you for sharing - you must be so proud of you.

hope you brother is doing well. at first the shock of the diagnosis is so numbing. 20 years ago i was given 6 mo to live after being diagnosed with a super aggressive form of breast cancer. the high-dose chemo and radiation took a year to complete. that was a very long year, but i am still here enjoying my life. so keep positive thoughts and helping your brother with support and love. those are the things that meant the most to me. nothing like a hug and a smile to make things seem better.

well I like them - you are right they will be wonderful to make art with!

Karla Anderson said...

WOW WOW WOW. Love every single set. So many ideas are in my head right now...so so many. Thank you so much for all your work. Also prayers and positive thoughts to you and your loved ones. My aunt has lived with Lymphoma for 16+ years no. While there have been some sad times we are amazed at the progressive treatments there are now compared to when she was diagnosed back in the early 90's. Take care and make art!

Dorothy said...

OMG!!! these are sooooo great!!!

Chirpin Is Fun said...

Let me just say....I think this is your best work, yet!! Not that I don't think all of your work is amazing, but I see myself being able to use all of these stamps completely! Great job! Can't wait!
