more new studio 490 day #2...

welcome!!!

thanks so much for the comments about yesterday's new products...

thanks for the funny emails about THE CURE...

you made me laugh...

I can't wait to see how others use them...

let's jump right in to todays reveals...

my black & white embossing pastes have been a HUGE hit...

so I'm happy to share that we have 

2 more AWESOME colors...

to play work with

& they are ready to ship immediately after CHA...

yippee!

here's 

METALLIC GOLD...

and...

METALLIC SILVER...

with just these 4 colors...

we can do ANYTHING!

with new embossing pastes...

we'll need more 

STENCILS FOR ART...

there are 8 new stencils in this release...

they all work well on cards, 

altered art/mixed media projects and 

art journal pages too...

you can even cut some of them them out,

 to make dimensional embellishments...

I have been having so much fun with these guys...

you can use them with inks or embossing pastes...

or mist over them...

first up...

LOVELY LEAVES...

NEVER NOUGH HEARTS...

a good one for cutting out...

WILDFLOWERS AND A BIRD...

we all know that...

DIAMONDS ARE A GIRLS BEST FRIEND...

a fun background...

or just use mini sections...

I've used this one lots too on journal pages & cards...

it's called...

EVERYDAY WORDS...

this next one is a really fun background...

and a whole lot more...

use it twice to make multi colored stripes...

or...

use it twice to make a plaid...

this one is...

YIKES... STRIPES...

here's

POLKA DOTTY...

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the...

LAYERED FLOWER...

this stencil allows us to make a multi colored flower...

it can be completely flat on a card or art journal page...

or it can be made dimensional with embossing paste...

it works like this...

stencil one color...

place the other stencil over the inked stripes...

it covers the inked stripes & allows the addition of a second color in the open areas...

you can use 2 coordinating colors or 

2 shades of the same color for a monochromatic effect...

it's easy & FUN...

 my favorite way to use this stencil is to add embossing paste to just one stencil...

that's how this was created...

it's on Clearly for Art...

that has been covered with vintage dictionary paper...

 I cut it out & made it dimensional...

I always try to add & size products so that they will work 

with products we already have...

the new LAYERED FLOWER stencil fits over the 

large CLICKER CUTTS flower...

the example below is the 

BLACKOUT CLICKER CUTTS FLOWER...

and I used the GOLD METALLIC embossing paste 

over just one of the stencils...

it totally changes the look of the CFA and gives us lots of fun options...

it looks like this...

with awesome texture...

and YES...

the paste is well adhered to the CFA!

LOVE IT...

I also want to use the black embossing paste 

with the layered flower stencil over 

the WHITEOUT Clicker Cutts flower...

I think that will look cool...

next up we have more of my new

Blossom Bucket resin pieces...

we had TONS of requests to make the sewing machine smaller...

so here it is...

SMALL SEWING MACHINE...

I placed it next to the original...

I ADORE mini...

look how cute...

perfectly sized for an ATC...

continuing on with the sewing theme...

 here's the 

SPOOL with THREAD...

it's sized to work with either sewing machine...

it's flat on the back, for easy gluing...

and for sure we needed 

SCISSORS...

these guys are mini & REALLY stinkin adorable...

be still my heart...

my grandfather was a carpenter &

 I was always fascinated with his folding ruler...

so now I collect vintage folding rulers...

I LOVE this

 RULER...

I have used up every sample I got...

I can't leave without showing you another new stamp set...

this is called...

FUN WITH ART...

the flowers & plant are fun to stamp & emboss, 

then color with tim's distress markers...

I want to try a watercolor technique with them too...

when I have a few seconds to spare...

there are 3 new sayings on this set...

2 sweet ones...

not as sassy as the ones I shared yesterday...

I wanted a new saying to use with the vintage car, the truck, 

and my Blossom Bucket vintage sedan...

that we already have...

and I admit...

I'm ADDICTED to this background stamp...

I had to hide it so I wouldn't use it on every project...

it's fun for journal pages...

use it as shown, or turn it a quarter of a turn, so that the smaller rectangles are at the bottom...

or top...

I also like to press small art parts onto the section on the left...

and you can make a simple plaid by using the section on the right...

it's very versatile...

so that's it for today...

I'll be waiting to hear your thoughts...

now it's time for me to...

make art!

ps...see you tomorrow!
