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.

2 Winners and Day 2, New Mini Scraps, Embossed Frames & Fab Samples!

Hi Everyone,

Yesterday's post on our new CD had to be divided into 2 parts, so I just had random.org pick two winners to each receive our CD, Creating with Vintage Patterns, plus a sheet of our new Mini Creative Scraps, a sheet of epoxy clear stickers and a package of Embossed Frames!  Winners were #98 Beth from the first post and I found her email but #84 Kristina M. Anderson... I couldn't see a google link or email listed, so I hope you read this and contact us with your mailing address


Here are our new Mini Vintage Creative Scraps!  DT Member Viola Mahr helped design this set along with our Cindy van Koll and they turned out so pretty!
I emailed Viola a big bunch of images and she worked her magic at home in Singapore.

CS 18 -DS “Mini Vintage” Creative Scraps include a large collection of 60 beautiful mini images from ¾” square to 2”x3” in size, more than any other CS sheet yet and that is only the front sides. The backs are a lovely collage of vintage images and patterns that work great with punches and the Epiphany Button makers. The images are perfect for blank jewelry, making buttons, inchies, as card accents, embellishing ATC's, bottle caps and altered art projects. We've included 25 fun confetti style words with “ Hello”, “a little birdie told me” and” Vintage Girl “ as well as mini decorative expressions’ with “the latest news”,” I’d rather be in Paris”,” Bachelor Girls” and “Artisan Studio”. Dimensions: 19-inch by 8-inch when open double sided and 9-1/2-inch by 8-inch when folded for easy storage. Click on the sample a couple of times to see it larger!


Every order this week for the new CD will receive a sheet of our New Mini Vintage Creative Scraps! The CD orders that were to go out yesterday got held up waiting for the insert, so they all get a free sheet of Vintage Mini Scraps!

We will be adding some pendants and clear epoxy stickers to the Shopatron Store but it's temporarily down. See the sweet little fairy girl near the bottom right? She will be on one of our new large stamp sets coming out next month called Born to Fly. 


DT Leader Vicki Chrisman designed all these samples for our make & take. The cream frames are sprayed with Glimmer Mist and lightly antiqued with a bit of brown ink on a sponge. The images are from our Vintage Photos and Birds & Blossoms Creative Scraps, but several Scraps and Image Booklets work great.



Speaking of DT Member Viola, (who helped design some of our Mini Scraps), look at this stunning card she created HERE using using the raspberries from our Garden Scraps, bird cage is from our Birdies stamp set and I love her matchy ribbon.


I adore this card DT member Michele Kovack created using an image from our Couple of Cuties Clear Art Stamp set and the way she colored it in such warm sunshiney colors! See the details HERE on Michele's Blog.


DT Member Julie Campbell created this mini layout HERE of her great aunt using one of the journal cards on our new CD, Creating with Vintage Patterns. The typewriter is from our Office 101 stamp set.


Look at this pretty card that DT Member Tammy Roberts created with an image from our Sew Nice Creative Scraps. Scroll down to see the wonderful Teacup Pincushion she also made.


This teacup pincushion Tammy made is so pretty and now I'm wondering what some of our CD floral papers would look like printed on a piece of white printable fabric.


I wanted to show you this very cute card that DT Member Jan Hennings created HERE using the 'cowboy kids' from our Farm Fresh Scraps.


I will be back tomorrow with another post and more samples from other DT ladies, new items and a another free CD to give away, so be sure to leave a comment each day!

Wishing YOU joy & creativity
