New Photopolymer Stamps!

We've searched long and hard for just the right material to be able to introduce completely clear stamping. And we've found it. We're excited to announce that we now have wood-mount, clear-mount AND photopolymer stamps! The new photopolymer will be an addition to our stamp line and will appeal to all types of stampers. Our top-quality photopolymer has just enough give to create a perfectly stamped image every time and with the introduction of our firm-foam pads, let's just say they're meant for each other! Photopolymer stamps will also be unique, fun designs that will inspire you and provide more versatile options you may not see in our traditional wood- and clear-mount stamp options.  The Fine Print Photopolymer stamps will be offered on a trial basis. Based on popularity, we hope to release more photopolymer stamp sets over the coming months. At this time we don't plan on offering a line of photopolymer sets as expansive as our wood-mount and clear-mount lines.

What makes them so great?

• They're entirely transparent for perfect placement every time! 
• They are durable. The photopolymer material is designed to last. 
• Can you say sticky? (Don't worry; in a good way.) These stamps stick amazingly well to our clear blocks.
• They're age tested. They won't yellow or cloud up over time. 
• They use FDA, food-safe material. How far can you stretch your stamping creativity? 
• We could go on, but we'll let you try them for yourself.

They are clearly a great choice.

Vintage Verses Pennants

This bright, happy little card uses several

SAB products, including the Vintage Verses set, 

Sycamore Street Designer Series Paper

and the Sycamore Street Ribbon and Button Pack.

Tangerine Tango and Island Indigo markers 

were used to color in the sentiment.  I used the

Petite Pennants Builder punch to make

the pennants on the left side of the card.

I rounded the corners on the top layer, 

to coincide with the rounded edges of the pennants.

I added the ribbon, button and Whisper White

card base and the card is complete.

 This was an extremely quick card to make!  

Oh, Hello Chalkboard

I decided to go with a fun technique today, called Chalkboard.

It is fun to do and a great masculine look.  Well,

maybe sans the flowers on this sample!

Just stamp images in white craft ink on black card stock.  

Let the ink dry completely (or hit it with the heat gun 
if you can't wait).

Then highlight some of the white images

with the SU Watercolor Pencils.

In this example, I also drew faint outlines with

the White Watercolor Pencil. 

Use a sponge dauber to dab "smudges", to make

the card front look like a real chalkboard. 

Sets:  Oh, Hello,  Flowering Flourishes

Colors:  Whisper White, Basic Black, 

Print Poetry Designer Series Paper Pack 

(p 16 of Spring Mini).

Accessories:  Watercolor Pencils (p 157)

Big Shot, Bitty Banners Framelits

(page 191), "Smooshed" Soda Pop Top (p 24 of Mini),

1/2 inch Circle Punch 

   

Sentimental Bike

I thought that I'd give you a break from "Dress Up 

designer dresses a la Jackie".  Don't worry, there

are more to come.  This card is all SAB (Sale-A-Bration)!

During SAB time, you can select a FREE item

from the SAB brochure for every $50 merchandise purchase.

The card above uses the bike from the

Feeling Sentimental set, and

Sycamore Street DSP banners. 

I always use the Full Heart Punch to create the

ends of the banners, so that I don't get cranky

about their appearance when I cut by hand.

The bike was stamped in Rich Razzleberry

and Island Indigo Ruffled ribbon was used

as an accent.
