Day 3 Preview July 2011 Clear Art Stamps Release, Giveaway and More!

Hi Everyone,


Today is Our Day 3 Peek at 2 more fabulous NEW Clear Art Stamp Sets - SL44 Let’s Play Ball and SM43 Golf Time - which you can enter to win just by leaving a comment here on this blog post!  Each day (July 11-15) I will be showing at least 2 NEW Stamp Sets and doing a giveaway, so be sure to come back and check them all out! You have all week to leave comments and 5 Winners will be announced Mon, July 18 on our next DT Challenge "New Product Show Offs & Techniques!  Our Online Wholesale Show & Specials (for stores is July 18-25).


SL44 Play Ball is a large 6 x 8” Clear Art Stamp Set with 15 big stamps and  amazing detail. To give you an idea of size, the bat is 3.5”, ball is 1.5”, boy is over 3” and ticket is 3.25”L x 1.5H. You can create a scene with the pitcher and batter, stamp the star in red and blue to create a border or background, or stamp the little smiley face on the small ball. The big ticket and player card paired with the words and extras make this a great set for creating baseball layouts, cards and keepsakes for your favorite ball player!

Look at this fantastic card from DT Member Julie Campbell! I love the inked and weathered baseball card and the way she re-stamped the ball player again and layered him. Papers are from our new CD, Creating with Vintage Patterns.

SM 43 Golf Time is a 4 x 6” medium set with 14 separate stamps for creating fun cards, layouts and keepsakes for golf lovers! The sentiments make this a perfect set for guy cards but we did squeeze in ‘Queen of the Green’ (which fits on the flag). I love the RX: “Take your iron and live on greens”, or “You’re Tee-riffic” , “Fore Someone Better than Par “, and my fav…    “Relax…you’re age is still lower than your score”. You can stamp the grass to create a little scene, add the tee and stamp the ball  in ‘GOlf’.  The golf shorts will be fun to color, or stamp and paper piece. Samples soon as our DT are just receiving these sets.

Okay, if you follow this blog - did you notice any difference today?  I downloaded Windows Live Writer (DT Member Heidi Blankenship recommended)  Blogging has always been hard for me but after my computer downloaded a bunch of security updates – it has been TORTURE! It seems like this free program will make it much easier.

Many of you may know DT Member Jan Hennings as she is active in so many paper crafting groups but you may not know her home suffered tornado damage recently and she is ok but hasn’t had internet. She was feeling bad at not being able to post and I’ve been meaning to show this great card she created using the inside of our new Mini Vintage Creative Scraps. I love the background and how she added an image from the front of the Scraps

We also have another DT Member on the mend – Amy Teets recently had back surgery and is recuperating and we look forward to having her back and creating more fabulous digital layouts!
I mentioned DT leader Vicki Chrisman created a bunch of jewelry pieces with our new Mini Vintage Creative Scraps and I wanted to show you how cool the inside of the Mini Scraps look with the tone on tone images. Here is a blank bracelet Vicki embellished and she will be posting more pieces tomorrow using Jewelry Shoppe Finding from Hobby Lobby.

Look at this beautiful card that DT Member Viola Mahr created using  images from the front of the Mini Creative Scraps with some epoxy stickers and some of the blue and cream papers off our CD. Details HERE on Viola’s Blog.

I also wanted to tell you about a Christmas in July Challenge  that Darlene Pavlick is hosting over at Splitcoast and look at the beautiful card she created for it using our Vintage Christmas set! You can get the details and join in the fun and see the wonderful samples that people have started posting in the Gallery HERE!

Tomorrow I’m posting SL43 Antique Trims and SM42 Lacey Patterns (I’m in LOVE with both), plus some other very cool samples!
