NEW STAMP/Stencil sets & mat minis from Stampers Anonymous!

2 posts in 2 days!
go me!

I'm thrilled to show you what's coming from Stampers Anonymous...
it's all shipping the week of Feb 18th...

let's start off with 
the 4 new stamp sets...each set comes with full a page stencil...

they are $19.95 with the FULL PAGE stencil included in the package...what a DEAL!

and this is why you'll love

 my MAKE ART STAY-tion! 

it works so well with the stencils...



the first set is... SCS 164...DELIGHTFUL ART

2 gorgeous larger statement floral stamps with coordinating sentiments...
the flowers have coordinating mat minis...
I've had fun with them...
great final point...

SCS165...FRONT DOOR ART

this set has coordinating mat minis for the door & the 4 images on the right...

they are too stinkin' tiny cute! see that flowerpot? it's a 2 parter & the pot is only ½ inch tall!

the door is fab for a mixed media home decor art & cards too!

this set has perfect sentiments that are quite useful & missing from my line...

next is SCS166...A BASKET OF ART

there are mat minis for all these images & I must say...

that bushel basket?  my FAV! so many ways to fill it year round, with pumpkins to flowers to funky people...

the multi-part bushel basket stencil is BEYOND cool!  you might have spotted the bushel basket in yesterday's Ranger post...might be my fav!

the 4th set SCS 167 is ART FROM HOME

there are mat minis for the 3 flowers, the plant & a 2 part house mat mini...

this is a fun one for a wedding, anniversary

or maybe just for your sweetheart...

there are 6 sets of NEW mat minis...

each set is $4.99...

there are 4 sets to coordinate with the 4 new stamp/stencil sets and 2 are everyday MUST HAVE staples...

lets look at the STAPLES first...

I peeked the PICKET FENCES many times on social media & they are going to be a hit...it's obvious you LOVED  them too!

seriously a million uses...

the second mat mini set is called HEART FRAMES & there are 4 frames & 4 hearts in this set! so 4 sheets/8 pieces total...

2 are vertical & 2 are horizontal, designed so they fit landscape & portrait cards & mixed media projects, in either orientation ...

use the heart alone, use the frame alone or use them popped back together...

here's the pic of the packages...

the PICKET FENCE set has 2 sheets, that look like this...every size fence we need is there...

12 fences in total...

these are really fun & you'll see many samples using them...

here are the 4 mat mini sets that coordinate with the new stamp sets...

you can see some samples from the flyer too...

background stamps are a great investment because they are so versatile...

tada...

I have 4 NEW backgrounds!

they are $10.95 each...

TINY FLORAL is from a vintage book we found at an antique mall...

you'll see it on the mug sample below...

this is a fun one to emboss, then add my 

Blendable ink over it...

below that is PIN POINT DOTS

it's a great random/subtle background...

it's fabulous to stamp over flowers/leaves for that extra little something! I have to hide it so it's not on every sample...it's a good one!

 

below, on the top left is PLAID FLANNEL...

it's embossed with Ranger's vintage pearl embossing powder on the sample below...

this stamp is also a good guy card background, done in darker colors...

the bottom right is REGISTER...

awesome text...it is on an older set, but we've enlarged it to 4 ¼ x 5 ½ & now it's even better!

it's a really good background & again...great over flowers to add texture...

you can see samples on the pages above, but here's a few more...

my new stamps/stencils needed a new stamp binder...

you can get the stamp/stencil binder from your local store, fav on-line or right from Stampers Anonymous...

this is the perfect way to store your sets & keep the stencil right with the stamp set...

organized is good!

THANK YOU SO MUCH

EXCITING announcements...

and I saved something 

REALLY EXCITING 

for last...

this baby has been in the works for a YEAR!


this is the

MUST HAVE $19.99 tool 

that I've been teasing about...

drumroll...

here's the 

wendy vecchi 

MAKE ART STAY-tion...

shipping in March...

I'll be posting videos on Facebook & Instagram so you can see it in action...
we'll also film some videos at Creativation, so be watching for them...

but here's the scoop...

notice the spelling? STAY-tion...

that gives a good hint to the purpose of this tool...

included in the box are the 12 x 12 cornflower blue magnetic solid steel base...

it has grid 1/4 inch lines on the front and the back is solid cornflower blue...

the 4 included magnets are key!

they are brushed aluminum with a foam base...
they are strong, but DON'T stick together...

they WILL NOT BREAK and
they will NOT pinch fingers...

they are exactly what I asked for!

no need to mess them up with washi, 
to pull them apart...
that's NOT NEEDED!
they are perfect and cute...
use them just as they are, right from the box!

the 4 magnets are a really important part of the STAY-tion...

the magnetic centering ruler is also included in the box...
it has 1/8th, 1/4 & full inch markings along the top and metric on the bottom, so the STAY-tion can be used world wide...

my original idea that I presented to Ranger, was a STAY-tion to hold stencils in place, so that we wouldn't need tape on the top of our cardstock/paper...

once I got my STAY-tion, I discovered that there are so many more uses...

the magnets hold stencils securely in place over cardstock. this frees your hands, to grab inks, detail blending tools, pastes...whatever you're using...

the magnets are strong & even hold my mat minis in place!

the magnetic ruler gives us a straight line for glueing layers & easily aligning sentiments...
and...the ruler is still a big magnet if you need it...

when arranging die cuts or layers, the magnets can be used to hold the card base perfectly straight & in place, so that not everything is moving all over...

this is MAGIC! it's like an extra pair of hands!

I use the magnets while layers or die cuts are drying...
I pop the magnet on & move on to the next step...

the centering ruler is handy for just that...centering whatever needs to be centered...

I use the Ranger 9 inch craft sheet on the STAY-tion as a portable heat embossing spot...
this is super convenient...
the magnets hold the craft sheet in place...

extra work space! extra work space! extra drying/cooling space!

if you're a scrapbooker, I see this as a valuable tool for you too, since it's a 12 inch magnetic base...let the magnets hold your title in place while determining arrangement of your photos, embellishments, die cuts etc...

use the STAY-tion just ONCE & you'll use it every time you...

MAKE ART!  

it's a super handy tool. I had mine for 6 weeks & had to send it back to Ranger for photos & I was seriously lost without it...

I hope you saved that $20.00 bill...

it's worth way more than $19.99. you'll see!
I'm sure that you'll LOVE it, just as I do!

I made TONS of samples but here's a quick peek at just a few...be watching for the washi & sneak peeks of some mat minis from Stampers Anonymous in the samples below too...

follow me on Facebook & Instagram for tons more...

wendy vecchi MAKE ART Blendable Dye inks...

are here!

if you LOVE my archival ink colors...
you'll LOVE these

wendy vecchi 

MAKE ART

Blendable Dye inks

we have 12 colors in this release...

they are 12 colors from my current archival palette, which gives us so

many creative options, 
since they coordinate perfectly...

keep in mind that the archival inks 

are a translucent oil based permanent ink

and the new

wendy vecchi 

MAKE ART

Blendable Dye inks

are a translucent 
water based blendable dye ink...

this makes them PERFECT to pair with 
the 24 archival inks we have...

we can use them together since 

oil & water never mix!

we can stamp or stencil with archival and blend these new Blendables right over the archival ink, with no bleeding, smearing or blending...

or...

we can use them to blend a beautiful background, then stamp or stencil right over the background using our archival inks...

perfect!

now about the pads themselves...

they are the GOLDILOCKS of ink pads...

not too small...

not too large...

just PERFECT!

here's a photo showing the red geranium archival with the new

red geranium MAKE ART Blendable, 
so you can see the size better...

did you see?

the cases are SEXY BLACK!

and get ready for this...

the price per pad is just ...

$3.99...

I'm pleased that they are very affordable...

that means you can add all 12 to
 your collection for $50.00 total!

yes...we have reinkers for the pads...

they are $3.49 each...

these start shipping to stores 
on MONDAY April 23...
I HATE waiting, so this is GREAT!

now...

the only problem?

we NEED the other 12 colors!!!

hello...buy them so we get the others!
I keep reaching for the missing colors...

look at the pads...

the base of the ink pads is nice and thick, making them very easy to grip...

their smaller size makes them really nice to hold & use...

look how cute they are...

 below are the 12 colors in this release...

does that flower look familiar?

SPECIAL THANKS 

to Taylor from Ranger

 for making the labels sooo stinking' cute!

here's the press release, 
if you'd like to see the colors all together...

below are some examples of 

the MAKE ART Blendable colors...

this is red geranium, poppy & sunflower...

next we have...

bluebird, fern green and prickly pear...

for this this next sample I used the blending tool to add inks thru the Stampers Anonymous circle grate stencil,
 using cornflower blue, violet, then acorn...
these are all the MAKE ART Blendables...

keep in mind that they are translucent inks, 

so the more you add, the more color you get...

I kept this sample pretty light, 
compared to the very first sample...

more ink means a darker color...
less ink & it's a lighter color...

I stenciled red geranium, orange blossom, sunflower, prickly pear and garden patina for this one...

quick & easy background, using the intersecting circles stencil!

here's the very first test card I made using them...

way back in JANUARY!

if you think it's been easy to keep quiet about them...

trust me...

many days I thought I would explode!

if you look at that small 5 petal flower on the right...

that blending is made possible by the detail blending tools...

these inks are the reason I wanted NEEDED 

the detail blending tools...

the wendy vecchi 
MAKE ART

Blendables 
are perfect to use with the detail blending tools...

the flower below shows that & it couldn't be easier...

that flower is a flat mat mini,
 but looks really dimensional because of the shading...

they make a huge difference in your art!

in the photo below,

 you can see I used my archival inks and the new wendy vecchi MAKE ART Blendable inks on this card...
here are the colors I used...

here's another example of the awesome blending...
these colors look really pretty on my Ranger Perfect Grey cards...

the heart was embossed with Ranger's new silver tinsel embossing powder...

even those tiny flowers can be shaded, 
using the detail blending tool...
they are a MUST HAVE!

 I'm sure you're wondering if these new inks are the same formulation as Tim's distress inks ...

they are NOT...

this formula was created at Ranger for me!

and if you're wondering if I'm switching to these & 
ignoring my archival inks...

ABSOLUTELY NOT!

the Blendables were formulated to work together with the archival inks perfectly!

now we have OPTIONS...

color coordinated...

OPTIONS!

YIPPEE!!!

follow me on Instagram 

for some quickie videos to see these 

wendy vecchi MAKE ART Blendables in action!

I seem to find it easier to post there more often...

I'll be sharing more...

lots more...

I'm in Connecticut now...

teaching store owners all about these cuties...

but I'll be checking in to hear your thoughts...

I'm so HAPPY that I can finally share these inks!
phew...relief!

new inks...
just what we need to 

MAKE ART!
