Day 1 Preview Summer 2011 Clear Art Stamps Release & Giveaway!

Hi Everyone,


Today is the first peek at our NEW Clear Art Stamps Sets and I have 3 new sets to show you today which you can win just by leaving a comment here on this blog post! Today I’m showing SL1 Born to Fly, SS22 Queen Bee and SS23 Vintage Silhouettes! Each day next (July 11-15) week I will be showing at least 2 NEW Clear Art Stamp Sets and doing a giveaway, so be sure to come back and check them all out! You will have all week to leave comments and the 5 Winners will be announced on Mon, July 18 when we do our next DT Challenge "New Product Show Offs!"

SL41 Born To Fly tops the list as one of my all time favorite large stamp sets we've done so far! It includes an amazing 32 separate stamps with 4 standing fairies from 2.25 to almost 3.5" tall and a beautiful sleeping fairy girl 2.5"W, with so many mix an match words, accessories and fun embellishments. The tiny tickets or scallop border will work as a stage and the fairies can hold the wand, star, butterflies, the birdie, flower banner or a sign you create. The outfits and wings are perfect for paper piecing.

Look at these adorable fairy jars DT Leader Vicki Chrisman created using our Born to Fly Set!  I love how she paper pieced all of their outfits by stamping them on pattern paper from our CD.

I wanted to also show you this photo so you could see how Vicki stamped 2 little feet to hold her stamped 'ticket fairy stage' and gave her fairy a stamped flower to hold and added the banner. You can see 3 of the other fairies HERE on Vicki's Blog.  This set will be available and shipping to stores later this month

Look at the beautiful sleeping fairy girl DT Member Michele Kovack stamped from this set! I've been holding onto this drawing from an old antique book for years and Cindy (our graphic designer) did an amazing job turning her into a stamp and then Michele has done an amazing job on this sample!  You can get all the details HERE on Michele's blog . Note: when you click on the card to see it larger you will see some little spots on the girls chin and over her mouth, these showed up on the drafts (the DT ladies got) but our graphic designer, Cindy, removed them all before we ordered a bunch so the new ones will be pretty!

The next set is SS22 Queen Bee and this 3 x 4" small set has wonderful detail taken from antique etchings.  The branches are 2.5" H each and the center bee is 1.25"W . Our Small Clear Art Stamp Sets normally retail for $7.50 and this set includes 13 separate stamps.  Granted the bees in the corners are tiny but there was some empty space and we thought it would be fun to be able to stamp little bees over the hive or background. Click it on to see it larger.  Samples to come soon as our DT Ladies are just receiving these new sets!

Drat - it looks so small - click it on to see it bigger!

I love the whimsical style of of this small set SS23 Vintage Silhouettes which includes 15 separate stamps allowing all kinds of creative possibilities! You can stamp the grass straight ot curve it on a block to stamp hills for the children to run and skip along, adding the birds, bunnies and puppy. I want to try embossing the tree branches and the ornate shelf on the bottom. Samples to come soon as our DT Ladies are just recieving these new sets.

Okay, sorry for the delay today posting this. I downloaded some horrid security update which is messing with my computer so I'm on my laptop. I've been blaming Blogger and it wasn't all their fault. I'm taking it in tomorrow and will use my laptop.

Don't forget to leave a comment on this post this week to be entered to WIN these 3 stamp sets - Born To Fly, Queen Bee and Vintage Silhouettes.

THESE SETS WILL BE AVAILABLE & SHIPPING TO STORES LATE JULY

TomorrowI will post SL42 Let's Hang Out and SM39 Birds of Happiness!
