new studio 490 for CHA summer 13...

FINALLY...

today is the day to start showing my newest products that will be released at CHA, in just a few days...

I'm so anxious to share what I've been working on...
really anxious...
like up at 4am anxious...

today we'll start with  5 of the 10 new stencils...

first up...

this layered tree...


this 2 part stencil makes it super simple to use 2 colors...
no masking needed...

stencil the tree trunk, then lay the leaves over the branches, 
(it's a perfect fit)
 & add another color...

you can use inks...

or embossing paste...

this tree works for all seasons...

need a winter tree?
don't add the leaves!

need a summer tree?
add green leaves!

need a fall tree?
add orange leaves!

the tree can also be used sideways, 
which allows us to hang things from the tree...
like a birdhouse or some hearts...

or some flowers...

or a bird can sit on a branch...

here's a little peek at one version...



here's another fun one...

barcodes...

the top one was is sized to fit the back of a #8 tag...
and it's the perfect spot to add your signature & the date...

use the whole barcode...
or mask off the lines & use just the words...


I LOVE more than one way to use products...


#3 is soooo fun...

it's called create a wreathe...

it's an adorable oval frame, to use as shown or in a vertical orientation...

use the flowers over the stenciled wreathe, 
or use them without the wreathe...

use the dots as berries or as a flower center
 stenciled on an art parts flower...

LOTS of possibilities for this one too...


as always, I design with past products in mind...
I like to freshen up the things we already have...

below I used the yikes stripes stencil...
with the new wreathe...

this was fun!



#4...

lovely large flower...

it's perfect for an art journal page or a card...

this can be used many ways too...

use the stem alone with an art parts flower or
 use just the flower with the next stencil...


I used it with my embossing paste in the sample below...
and used a portion of the flower (on Clearly For Art) to add even more dimension...

the openings are large, 
which allows stamping thru the stencil...
you'll see I added the herringbone background to the leaves...

very fun...



and the last for today...

#5...

this stencil is called

from the garden...



this flower is beautiful in any color combo...

 the leaves & grass can be mixed & matched with other stencils, stamps and art parts...

I've been grabbing this one for lots of samples...

like this one...


I'll be back tomorrow 
with the other 5 new stencils...

thanks so much for popping in...


now it's your turn
 to tell me what you think...

I'll be waiting...

while I ...

make (CHA) art!
