just say it GIVEAWAY...

here's a fun background stamp
 from this new release...



this guy is a great value, because it contains 21 sentiments, some mini hearts & dotted lines...
all for the single background stamp price...

because I worked in surgery for many years...
I have NO FEAR of chopping things up!

in the photo below you can see that I cut mine into individual sentiments...

it's simple with tim's tonic scissors...

I have them stored on our blank storage sheet...
these sheets have no graphics, so both sides can be used...
any cling or clear stamps work well on these sheets & that's how I store my backgrounds & the stamps from the stamp-it stencil-its...




here's the stamp alone, so that you can see the sentiments better...


and here's how I used it on a page from my new mat mini

you can leave the stamp whole & cut out each sentiment...
this is a good way to use up scraps...
or stamp it once on a larger cardstock & then cut out the individual sentiments...

the black hearts are the 

the plaid heart was made by stamping the ticking background 


once vertically and the second time horizontally...

the stenciled leaves are from 



if you cut JUST SAY IT apart, 
the stamp can be used 
directly on the page or card
like this...
LIVE EACH DAY...

you can see that I used the dotted line as a hanger for the new mat mini birdhouse...


drumroll...

compliments of TED at Stampers Anonymous...

  19. Wonderful additions to your already terrific line of products. The Just Say It stamp is so versatile with so many wonderful sentiments and words. I love how you used the Ticking stamp to create plaid - now it is two stamps in one. Inquiring minds want to know - how you created the link chain for the heart? Thanks for the inspiration and the giveaway opportunity.

  45. Wendy....I believe you're one of the most creative and inspiring artists I've had the pleasure to watch in person. I love watching your demos. I love your blog. I love how you experiment with all of the various inks and alcohol and papers. Really a joy to watch. I'm nuts about the picket fence spray, archival ink and rubbing alcohol. The results are so marvelous. I also love the chance to win two of your great new stamps. Thanks so much to you (and Ted too). Please keep creating and experimenting, and making art. Thanks.
