hello my friends!
it's the finale for new products...
here's the first of 2 stamp sets for today...
this is...
SUNSHINE & ART...
with all the flowers, leaves & birds we use...
I wanted a fun sun...
this set has more sayings & a very vintage
worn looking plaid background...
and...
2 stars...
now we have 2 sizes...
yippee!
here's a new art parts package called...
FROM NATURE...
you'll see it has a 2 piece art parts sun,
a medium sized bird...
yes...ask & you shall receive...
sometimes...
I do love birds too...
and a fun branch for the bird...
or you can hang things...
like the Blossom Bucket birdhouse
you see in the photo...
the final stamp set is *maybe*? my most favorite?
it's titled...
SHOPPING IS AN ART...
true huh??
LOVE the chandelier a million...
LOVE the sassy sayings...
the tied bow is a wonderful border used horizontally or vertically...
I have used it LOTS...
another new BFF is a sassy chick...
her name is Ruth...
she's named after another of our friends...
here's the coordinating art part set...
there are 3 bows & 3 of Ruth in this set...
totally...
in love!
next...
the finale for my new Blossom Bucket pieces...
more fun flower centers, that I like to use with the sewing machines...
again...
amazing tiny details...
remember the saying from yesterday...?
you are just my type...
it's a perfect fit with this adorable vintage typewriter...
I added
"FOR THE RECORD"
because it fits with any card sentiment...
FOR THE RECORD...
I love you...
or...
I wish you success...
or...
I think you rock...
or...
I've been thinking of you...
or...
I hope you're feeling better...
or...
it's the perfect addition to a birthday,
anniversary or guy card...
it's adorable...
I about fainted when I saw this vintage fan...
AMAZING detail on this guy too...
look...
speaking of detail...
look at this vintage camera...
SWEET!
here's a close up of the cute details...
you can accent the lens areas with Glossy Accents...
or use it as it is...
it is...
PERFECT for ATC's, cards, heritage layouts...
mixed media...
and so much more...
and I ADORE this
Primitive house...
got 8 samples & used every single one...
so FUN...
and we conclude with 2 brand spankin new...
KITS FOR ART...
we've heard loud & clear that you like kits...
first up...
the vintage hand mirror kit...
I have had this designed for quite some time...
but I never found the right product for the mirror...
metallic & mirrored cardstock looked cheesy UGLY...
so I held back, while I waited to find the
PERFECT MIRROR...
TADA...
last CHA tim introduced his
MIRROR material...
it's EXACTLY what this mirror needed!
this kit has the instructions, step out photos,
the art parts &
tim's circle mirror included in the
KIT FOR ART...
you just add the flower center of your choice...
I think you'll have some
fun Blossom Bucket flower centers to choose from...
I always want people to LEARN something from my classes & kits...
I don't like a "glue these together" type project...
you'll learn how to use my black embossing paste with distress inks to create subtle vintage texture & how to age the mirror material with alcohol & archival inks...
the mirror can hang by the hole in the handle or
sit sweetly in a vignette...
make sure to adorn the back too with stamps, art parts, or Blossom Bucket goodies...
it's a whopping 10 inches tall...
and...
I'm happy to say that the kit price is $9.95...
so these will make GREAT gifts,
because you can customize them for any decor...
and I saved this
art parts KIT FOR ART cutie for last...
this is called...
CREATE A CONTAINER...
be still my heart...
it's a really cool decor kit...
again...
it's customizable with ANY background stamps &
any colors of inks/stains
or...
cover the art parts with patterned paper or paint...
there are plenty of options...
the center is actually open & will hold a gift card...
the opening is 3 layers of art parts deep...
so it's a great space for
a little flower arrangement...
a mixed media art parts assemblage...
a little gift...
there are LOTS of possibilities...
again, this kit includes the instructions, step out photos, art parts for the container,
plus the art parts leaves & flower...
three of my Blossom Bucket black metal corners are the key to holding it together,
to create a finished professional result...
they also make it sturdy...
the 3 corners are included in the kit!
you finish it off by adding the flower center of your choice...
it can hang via the hole in the top,
or the Blossom Bucket metal corners
create a solid base
to make it a stand alone container...
it's a substantial 5 layers of art parts thick...
so it's very strong...
it's 6 1/4 inches tall, 3 1/2 inches wide and...
the kit price is also $9.95...
this will be my new go to gift giving container...
for sure!
this is another of those "double dippers"...
YOU have fun creating &
someone gets a great handmade gift...
here's my new baby...
CREATE A CONTAINER!
the photo below shows another version
of the create a container...
instead of the flower/leaves that are included in the kit...
I used some cool new Blossom Bucket pieces...
here's a tiny peek at the new primitive house...
and the plaid postmark posey...
STOP THE PRESS!!...
what is this?
it's my last Blossom Bucket
SHOPPING BAG...
as you can see in the photo above, you can load it up & stamp on it too!
I can't wait for you to see how cute it is in person...
Ok...now that you have seen everything...
here's the SCOOP...
ALL the Blossom Bucket pieces
WILL SHIP to stores
before
THE END OF FEBRUARY!...
AWESOME...
no long wait...
and they have been making stamps,
art parts, kits for art, stencils for months in Cleveland..
so those are ready too...
as are my new metallic embossing pastes...
keep in mind that orders ship
according to the date the orders are placed...
so those ordering on the first day of CHA
ship way before someone who orders
a month after CHA...
if you see something you like...
you can email or call your fav store & let them know what you you'd like them to stock...
again...
THANKS SO MUCH for your friendship, enthusiasm
& support of studio 490!
