day #3...new studio 490...

today let's start with a fun stamp set...

with some sassy sentiments...

this first set is titled...

ECCENTRIC ART...

the sayings on this set are really fun...

I can not wait to see how you use them...

I have had a ton of fun...

click on the photo to read them...

I wanted a saying to coordinate with 

my Blossom Bucket martini glass...

so...

"no greens for me thanks, 

but I WILL have an olive in my martini"...

I *think* someone 

by the name of Eileen 

will like this one for sure...

meet another new BFF...

her name is LOIS...

she's named after our dear friend...

the second stamp set is called...

DOMESTIC ART...

another really fun one with lots of "kitchen" sayings, 

so we can 

make kitchen art...

I had my Blossom Bucket silverware 

in mind when I created this next stamp set...

everything is sized to fit...

I think kitchen art makes a fun hostess gift...

especially when it's handmade...

another new BFF is Hazel...

you can add a Blossom Bucket goodie 

or art part to her hand 

to change her from a maid to a regular gal...

so she's not just for kitchen art...

for one of my CHA arts...

I have her holding a _____?....

oops...I haven't showed that yet...

I almost spilled the beans...

stay tuned!

I have wanted a witches hat for a LONG time, 

but didn't want a whole Halloween set,

so I included it with this set...

here's DOMESTIC ART...

next up is an art parts set that 

coordinates with the 2 new stamps sets above...

it's appropriately named...

ECCENTRIC & DOMESTIC ART

coordinates...

2 Hazel...

2 Lois...

2 witches hats in this package...

you'll see that the witches hat is 2 pieces...

REALLY cute, in person!

that extra little detail MAKES IT...

the second art parts set for today is titled...

WORDS FOR ART...

you'll find one of each of the 9 words in the package...

and just like all other art parts, 

they can be inked, stained, painted, stamped & embossed to coordinate with your project...

these words are sized for cards, art journals & mixed media art...

and another tiny peek...

the zig zag peeking out is an art parts tag topper...

they are not just for the top of a tag...

I have 5 new resin pieces 

from Blossom Bucket to share today...

I ADORE this 

sweet face!...

she's 2 1/2 inches tall & alterable with lots of fun stuff...

the details are amazing...

 I'm *thinking* someone 

will use her as the center of a jewelry piece...

look at this cute 

QUEEN'S CROWN...

it's resin, painted to look like metal...

the tiny details on this one blew me away...

I have been wanting a large flower center to use 

with these original art parts flowers...

this ON-OFF KNOB

also makes a great knob for an art journal...

it's vintage barn red, with gold accents...

and it has a tiny clock face in the center...

LOVE LOVE LOVE these 

VINTAGE SILVER WINGS...

the wings are 2 individual pieces, 

so we can use them together on alone...

resin again...

painted to look like vintage metal...

not too big...

not too small...

they are just right...

this is the

BE STILL MY HEART set...

I can't even tell you how much I LOVE these

4 CLASSY BUTTON FLOWERS...

are the PERFECT flower centers...

the details on these guys are over the top...

I doubt the photo will show you how cool they really are...

here's a closer look ...

and here's Lois...

holding the Queen's CROWN...

and the last Blossom Bucket piece for today...

a WITCHES HAT...

LOVE this one too!

perfect for a card, with a sassy sentiment,

 from ECCENTRIC ART...

and it works with some sayings on my older sets too...

yesterday I had someone ask for the "TALLY" of the new releases...

she mentioned something about her...

bank loan...

lol...

YIKES...

sorry...

here goes...

this release has...

12 new stamp sets...

10 new art parts sets...

8 new stencils...

2 new embossing pastes...

2 new KITS for ART...

wait 'til you see them...

I'm thrilled with how they turned out...

they are the best yet!

and

34 Blossom Bucket "embellish your art" pieces...

yes...I've been busy & loving it...

see why I CAN NOT possibly COOK!

Ok...lots on the TO*DO list yet, 

so I gotta run to the studio to make art!

wendy

talk to me...

what's your favorite from these 3 days?

I just MIGHT have something for a random commenter...

see you tomorrow!

more new studio 490 day #2...

welcome!!!

thanks so much for the comments about yesterday's new products...

thanks for the funny emails about THE CURE...

you made me laugh...

I can't wait to see how others use them...

let's jump right in to todays reveals...

my black & white embossing pastes have been a HUGE hit...

so I'm happy to share that we have 

2 more AWESOME colors...

to play work with

& they are ready to ship immediately after CHA...

yippee!

here's 

METALLIC GOLD...

and...

METALLIC SILVER...

with just these 4 colors...

we can do ANYTHING!

with new embossing pastes...

we'll need more 

STENCILS FOR ART...

there are 8 new stencils in this release...

they all work well on cards, 

altered art/mixed media projects and 

art journal pages too...

you can even cut some of them them out,

 to make dimensional embellishments...

I have been having so much fun with these guys...

you can use them with inks or embossing pastes...

or mist over them...

first up...

LOVELY LEAVES...

NEVER NOUGH HEARTS...

a good one for cutting out...

WILDFLOWERS AND A BIRD...

we all know that...

DIAMONDS ARE A GIRLS BEST FRIEND...

a fun background...

or just use mini sections...

I've used this one lots too on journal pages & cards...

it's called...

EVERYDAY WORDS...

this next one is a really fun background...

and a whole lot more...

use it twice to make multi colored stripes...

or...

use it twice to make a plaid...

this one is...

YIKES... STRIPES...

here's

POLKA DOTTY...

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the...

LAYERED FLOWER...

this stencil allows us to make a multi colored flower...

it can be completely flat on a card or art journal page...

or it can be made dimensional with embossing paste...

it works like this...

stencil one color...

place the other stencil over the inked stripes...

it covers the inked stripes & allows the addition of a second color in the open areas...

you can use 2 coordinating colors or 

2 shades of the same color for a monochromatic effect...

it's easy & FUN...

 my favorite way to use this stencil is to add embossing paste to just one stencil...

that's how this was created...

it's on Clearly for Art...

that has been covered with vintage dictionary paper...

 I cut it out & made it dimensional...

I always try to add & size products so that they will work 

with products we already have...

the new LAYERED FLOWER stencil fits over the 

large CLICKER CUTTS flower...

the example below is the 

BLACKOUT CLICKER CUTTS FLOWER...

and I used the GOLD METALLIC embossing paste 

over just one of the stencils...

it totally changes the look of the CFA and gives us lots of fun options...

it looks like this...

with awesome texture...

and YES...

the paste is well adhered to the CFA!

LOVE IT...

I also want to use the black embossing paste 

with the layered flower stencil over 

the WHITEOUT Clicker Cutts flower...

I think that will look cool...

next up we have more of my new

Blossom Bucket resin pieces...

we had TONS of requests to make the sewing machine smaller...

so here it is...

SMALL SEWING MACHINE...

I placed it next to the original...

I ADORE mini...

look how cute...

perfectly sized for an ATC...

continuing on with the sewing theme...

 here's the 

SPOOL with THREAD...

it's sized to work with either sewing machine...

it's flat on the back, for easy gluing...

and for sure we needed 

SCISSORS...

these guys are mini & REALLY stinkin adorable...

be still my heart...

my grandfather was a carpenter &

 I was always fascinated with his folding ruler...

so now I collect vintage folding rulers...

I LOVE this

 RULER...

I have used up every sample I got...

I can't leave without showing you another new stamp set...

this is called...

FUN WITH ART...

the flowers & plant are fun to stamp & emboss, 

then color with tim's distress markers...

I want to try a watercolor technique with them too...

when I have a few seconds to spare...

there are 3 new sayings on this set...

2 sweet ones...

not as sassy as the ones I shared yesterday...

I wanted a new saying to use with the vintage car, the truck, 

and my Blossom Bucket vintage sedan...

that we already have...

and I admit...

I'm ADDICTED to this background stamp...

I had to hide it so I wouldn't use it on every project...

it's fun for journal pages...

use it as shown, or turn it a quarter of a turn, so that the smaller rectangles are at the bottom...

or top...

I also like to press small art parts onto the section on the left...

and you can make a simple plaid by using the section on the right...

it's very versatile...

so that's it for today...

I'll be waiting to hear your thoughts...

now it's time for me to...

make art!

wendy

ps...see you tomorrow!

brand new studio 490...day 1...

FINALLY...

I can share what I've been working on since 

the day after the last CHA...

seriously...

it takes that long!

and believe me...

it's so hard for me keep my lips zipped about new things...

just a reminder...

you should be able to click the photos to enlarge them,

 to read the sayings...

and the numbers on the art parts packages will tell you how many of each are included in the package...

let's start with a stamp set...

this is called

COUPLES ART...

it has 2 really fun couples and 

some fun coordinating sayings...

and for sure we needed coordinating art parts to make these couples stand out...

this art parts set is called 

FAVORITE COUPLES...

HIS CHAIR is a 2 piece art part...

when glued together it looks like he is actually IN the chair...

it's seriously so stinkin cute!

the mini couple on the left is...

Fred & Ethel!

my new BFF'S!

next up another stamp set...

this is

GOSSIPING ABOUT ART...

I have had a blast with these girls...

more fun sayings are included to use with them...

won't they be fun for journal pages?

lots of ideas are brewing...

and we have a coordinating art parts set called

GOSSIP GIRLS...

it's simple to color them with tim's distress markers...

I have one more stamp set for today...

this is 

BUSY MAKING ART...

2 smaller bugs for smaller projects...

the numbers border is fun to emboss, 

then color in the individual numbers...

great for cards too...

love the saying...

the stripes background is so FUN to press into wet embossing paste...

it makes a really cool textured background...

I'll show you soon...

and I LOVE LOVE LOVE these new art parts...

this is 

SCALLOP TAGS with trim strips...

the tags are 6 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches ...

a fun size...

not too big...

not too small...

and a great solid surface...

LOTS of the stamps & art parts we already have work well on these tags...

I want to use them every day...

moving on to some new resin pieces from 

BLOSSOM BUCKET...

yep...

I LOVE THIS ONE!

this 

GOLD & SILVER GIFT BOX 

is just PERFECT on a card front,

 for any gift giving occasion...

it looks more "classy" when used on a black background...

and more "funky" if on kraft...

as in the past...

the Blossom Bucket pieces all have flat backs for easy gluing...

and the details on the fronts are amazing...

I'm always wishing for something 

for a quickie get well card...

now we have this 

BANDAID...

it looks so authentic & cute!

and it's good for any age group...

these next pieces turned out even better than I expected...

lol...here's 

THE CURE!!!

I see lots of fun possibilities here...

like this one...

if you had too much bubbly last night...

take 3 & call me in the morning!

it's perfectly sized to use with my 

Blossom Bucket silverware &

 telephone...

both are back in stock again...

phew...

that's day one...

I have a TON more to share in the coming days...

any thoughts?

I hope you'll tell me what you're thinking...
