NEW Stampers Anonymous Release!

HAPPY FRIDAY...

I'm EXCITED to share my new stampers anonymous release today!

we had planned to release these new goodies at the Collin's event this weekend, 

but evil Irma had other plans...

I've been thinking of my friends to the south constantly and I hope Irma moves out to sea without causing major issues...

we've been to the islands many 25+ times and to think that Irma is hurting them & the residents is simply heartbreaking...

I'll be praying for ALL of you...

BE SAFE!

Ok...

I thought I'd share the flyer pages...

there you'll find examples of how I used the new products...

here's the direct link to stampers anonymous, where to can also view the pages...

CLICK HERE

please let your favorite stores know what you need & would like them to order...

they too are just getting the flyer now...

you can also order directly from 

the stampers anonymous site...

come over to Instagram...

I'll be doing mini videos to show close ups there...

and I'll do a GIVEAWAY too!

stay tuned on FACEBOOK over the weekend & I'll have a GIVEAWAY there too!

remember...

you can click on the photos to see them larger...

Here's the front cover...

we have 2 new stamp sets, 

one with a twist...

SCS152 is CAFE ART...

that lace stamp is SUPER pretty!

and 

SCS153 AUTUMN ART 

also includes a STENCIL!

I'll explain that later...

but at $1.00 more...

TED gave us a great deal!

next...

3  new BACKGROUND STAMPS...

LINEN...

taken right from a shirt I was wearing...

the DOODLE WREATH is ADORABLE and has the perfect spots to add Enamel Accents to create berries...

I like it stamped in Fern Green or Potting Soil...

and the 3rd new background is 

a REVERSING/TECHNIQUE background stamp...

it's a sheet of solid rubber with LOTS of possibilities...

I especially wanted this to use with mat minis...

I'll show you how very in a mini video on Instagram/Facebook...

I've use it with Dina's scribble sticks too...

it's a GREAT tool!

next we have 

2 new STAMP-IT STENCIL-IT's...

these are super fun...

SIMPLE REALITY and 

AUTURM HARVEST...

with these you get the stamp and the coordinating stencil in the same package...

we included the

 SELECT A SENTIMENT in the flyer,

so that you can see

that some of the new sentiments will

fit in the label area...

you'll see that example 

on the front cover...

there's a better sample of SIMPLE REALITY in the photo after this one...

next up is a new Stencil called 

WALLPAPER...

this is based on the wallpaper I remember from my grandmother's bedroom...

I think her's was stripes with tiny roses...

but I LOVE polka dots...

the stencil is simple stripes & dots 

that can be used to fill a background or 

use just one section as a border...

below is an example of the SIMPLE REALITY

stamp-it stencil-it...

that pretty yellow flower/leaves...

this next page has the new

INK PALLETE...

O M G...

it's simple, but EXACTLY what I needed...

and at $2.99 the bargain of the century!

it's a MUST HAVE...

sit down for this...

THE CUTEST MAT MINIS

E V E R!!!

we have GET MUGGED, which includes cups with saucers & a nice sized mug...

these are perfect for year round cards...

and these make GREAT guy cards too!

and MY MOST FAVORITE 

AUTUMN ESSENTIALS...

the most ADORABLE pumpkins...

there are 2 sizes and seriously you'll faint when you see the mat mini ACORNS in the set...

I smile every time I use them...

they coordinate with 

the acorn stamps from SCS 153...

just ink the stamp with JET BLACK & press the mat mini onto the inked stamp for perfect placement...

seriously, the detail in them is awesome!

and here's more samples from the back cover...

and here come more samples...

the mat mini mug got run thru the stripes embossing folder twice to create the plaid...

the stamped leaves?

hmmm...the leaf stamps are solid...

here's how to create them & change up the stamp...

ink the leaf stamp...

stamp over the inked stamp with a clean stamp...

I use the screen background...

that REMOVES the ink and leaves the pattern on the stamp...

then press the coordinating mat mini onto the inked stamp...

MAGIC!

it makes the ink color different & I'm LOVING this technique...

you'll see this in lots of samples...

a simple trick, but it really changes up the look of solid stamps...
use a different stamp each time...
super fun!

here's another example of that...

the cup and saucer from SCS152 are solid images and the cup was done the same way...

the NEW LINEN background, the herringbone background, the vintage mesh and the SCREEN background stamp are awesome for this technique, because they have small patterns...

I also used it on the leaves from the older set SCS137...

and gave them a new look...

combining older with new is what I LOVE...

the mat mini's can be inked, stamped, stenciled, embossed with embossing powder & run thru embossing folders for a MILLION possibilities...

since they are laser cut, they are the same on both sides...

that means the handle can be on the left or right, whichever orientation fits your design...

love that LACE stamp!

this next sample shows how to change the mug from SCS152 to a flowerpot...

stamp it...

cut it out, but chop off the handle & now it's a flowerpot...

and then it you chop off the section above the stripe, it shortens the pot, so now we have 2 perfectly sized coordinating pots!

here's an example

of the leaves stamped as a background to create my own paper...

the Potting Soil enamel accents make it pop!

now the INK PALETTE...

since distress and archival inks are translucent inks, when these are put on the craft sheet, you don't get to see the beautiful colors...

with the bright white INK PALETTE...

YOU DO!

you can watercolor right from the palette & see the exact color...

here I'm using my mini Archival pads...

and now I can mix a custom color & see exactly what it is...

if you use distress, the INK PALETTE will clean up with water...

if you use it with the archival inks, clean up is simple with rubbing alcohol or the new Archival stamp cleaner from Ranger...

I LOVE this thing...

it's 5 inches square, so it's designed to take up very little of your workspace...

it's laser cut from the same strong material that my stamps sets are stored on...

mine is always out, but I've added a second one to my stencil binder...

I used the crop-a-dile to punch a hole & it's a perfect fit...

Potting Soil & Garden Patina?
YES please!

so there are my newest babies...

I'll be waiting to hear YOUR FAVORITES!

sorry it's been so long since I've posted...

I'll try to be better...

but you can always find me on INSTAGRAM...

CHA W 2015 studio 490 stamp reveal...

F I N A L L Y...

it's time to show you my newest stamps for release at CHA THIS WEEK...

let's start with 

the 6 new stamp sets...

these are all the small set size...

they retail for $17.95 & 

I filled each sheet to the max...

but, my links will take you to 

the best pricing I can find...

SCS128 is 

TEXTURES FOR ART...

see the cracked wall? it is awesome with the basically bricks stencil...

or use it with embossing paste to create a cracked plaster effect...

it can also be used alone, with an inky background...

I also find myself reaching for it & using it unmounted to fill in backgrounds with the cracks from the edges of the stamp...

the stripes on the bottom left remind me of the texture of worn smashed corduroy...

it's great for adding design to die cuts, art parts, alpha blocks etc...

and for background stamping on cards & tags too...

LOVE the lace border & of course, we all love sentiments...

SCS129 is 

ART & YOU...

2 beautiful coordinating filigree stamps in large & small sizes...

you saw peeks of the large one in the last post...

I'll also be showing you a "faux gilded art parts" technique after I return from CHA...

it uses my metallic embossing pastes & the new filigree stamps...

more sentiments, a fun flower & a great ornate shelf type border...

SCS130 is...

ALL OCCASION ART...

that little "hosta" might be my MOST FAVORITE stamp ever...

I have stamped it a million times & used just the leaves with other flowers...

it's so cute stamped twice, cut out & layered...

I had to hide this one so I didn't use it on every single project...

I'm NOT kidding...

you'll be seeing it...

L O T S!

the sentiments are great for cards...

another border...

I felt like I was missing borders from my sets...

SCS131 is...

A PASSION FOR ART...

isn't she gorgeous? 

her name is Megan...

we named her after my sweet niece...

it's fun to change up the flowers in her hair...

LOVE LOVE LOVE 

the ruffled border...

it's a fun one to stamp at the bottom of a tag & trim around...

and more sentiments...

SCS132 is...

TRADEMARK ART...

we had half a million requests to shrink the berry tree from one of my original sets (LCS008)...

now it's perfect for cards...

and can be combined with the original large berry tree...

wait 'til you see how small & adorable it is...

SUPER CUTE!

more versatile borders & sentiments...

the lace border is a perfect fit for #8 tags...

I've been stamping it at the bottom of a tag & cutting it to change up the straight tag bottoms...

nice straight lines make it quick & easy to cut...

and the last new stamp set...

SCS133 is

DISCOVER ART...

more sentiments...

I'll never have enough...

an alpha background filler...

borders...

I like them both horizontal & vertical...

LOVE the chain for hanging THINGS...

so they aren't floating in mid air...

and

sweet simple little flowers...

perfect to color with markers...

so that's the 6 new stamp sets...

next are 6 individual background stamps...

these retail for $10.95...

we've had multiple requests to sell just the background stamps from my older sets...

we had gelli plate players and cardmakers ask for these 2 specifically...

you asked...

so we DID IT!

#1 is...

PERFECTLY PLAID...

this is a fun worn background...

and I like using just parts of it for borders...

the nice straight lines make it easy to align...

#2 is 

another popular stamp

 from an older set...

it's called SCRIPT...

and is now a single background stamp...

it's actually part of a vintage letter we found at a flea market...

#3 is brand new...

4 leaf clover...

LOVE IT!

#4 is brand new...

old wood floor...

we were in an antique store that had a really worn uneven rickety (awesome) pine plank floor...

it's a great subtle background...

and I also use it unmounted to add stamped bits to backgrounds...

it just might be my most favorite 

background of this release...

you can also stamp it as shown, then turn it 90 degrees & stamp again to change it up & create a plaid...

#5 is also brand new...

it's called 

LATTICE...

I noticed some morning glories growing on a trellis that looked like this...

it's PERFECT for all my flower stamps...

and looks wonderful when embossed in any color...

and the last single background is another brand new one...

#6...

TILES...

we walked into a restaurant one day that had a black & white tiny tiled floor, with this pattern...

that was the inspiration for this one...

 6 is the MAGIC number...

6 new stamp sets & 6 new individual large background stamps...

oh wait...

here's a few project peeks to show how I've used a few of them...

lace trimmed tag bottom...

here's Megan...

see the new "HOSTA" leaves in her hair?

and the white embossing paste used thru 

the add a stencil in the background?

here's the perfectly plaid background stamp...

on this bow...

stamped in jet black, then inked with 

orange blossom archival...

next is the tiles background, 

embossed with fern green embossing powder...

LOVE the ruffled border so much!

and here's my thought for today...

see the filigree peeking out?

LOVE the ruffles stamped in 

watering can archival

& trimmed from the tag bottom...

thanks so much for visiting...

I'm anxious to hear your thoughts...

tell me what you like...

I'll see you tomorrow with MORE NEW ___...

it's SO MUCH FUN to finally share

 new stuff goodies we can use

to

make art!
