New Products!

I just got through adding some great new items to the online store. I am really excited about how shiny, glittery and sparkly these all are. Diamond Dust is kind of like glitter but instead of being made from plastic it is actually ground up glass shards. This catches the light more for more sparkle appeal. Just use your favorite craft glue to adhere this.

These are Sparkle Fibers and I would describe it more like sparkly fiber confetti. I am thinking it would look great added to snowflakes! Again, just use your favorite craft glue to adhere. Come in these 3 colors; disco ball, snow drift and blue icicle

New ribbon! This is a 3/4 inch wide twill strip and it is light weight which is makes it easy to knot and tie bows with. 3/4" is just a little bit wider than most of our ribbon which tends to be 5/8"

The top color is pine green, and bottom is celery.

Red and black.

I am really excited about these new ribbons which May Arts calls Sparkle Velvet. It is not really soft like velvet but the texture is soft and easy to knot, and the other side is so sparkly you are gonna love it!

This white and brown

Black and gorgeous gold

Silver and dark silver, which is like a gun metal color

Red and pine green

Stickles have been very popular around here so I ordered a bunch of them this time around. They are cheap, easy to use and really give a great glittery-ness to your projects. At $1.95 for a bottle you can't go wrong!

We have Star Dust and Diamond above

Silver and platinum

Purple and Starry night

Lime green and magenta Gold and cinnamon

Candy cane red and turquoise.

These are all available for purchase right now in the online store; www.thestampingstudio.com You can find ribbon in the Ribbon section, then Diamond Dust, Sparkle Fibers and the Stickles in the Beads and Glitters section of the store.

Getting ready...

Getting ready for the workshop on Saturday. David organizing the ribbon end-cap... he took me up on the offer of working for $1.00 an hour. Sean (his twin) decided to play basketball instead! Anyone else?

Card/project of the day 10/21/10

Today's project is another paper pumpkin... a large one! I used the larges paper I had which is 12x12 and cut the strips 2x12, and used 2 sheets of paper to make 12 strips. I love it! What a great centerpiece

David volunteered to be my model... isn't he cute?

I used some glittered fabric flowers that we just got in for the top (you can see Saturday if you come to the workshop, or next week when I add to the internet store) and then satin ribbon loops, and those cool suede leaves from May Arts ribbon... they come attached to each other on a spool just like other ribbon and is $1.50 for 2 yards.

Card/project of the day 10/20/10

Todays project is a mini paper pumpkin (cute all by it self) with our cute turkey all colored and glittered, standing up against the pumpkin. A great project to decorate a desk or countertop!

Card of the Day 10/19/10

Here is another card made using the Halloween Rounder stamp, along with the "middles" and the skull from the Halloween Fun set.

Glitter on the gray skull makes it really stand out!

Card of the day 10/18/10

Here is a fun Halloween card made using our Halloween Rounder (so versatile!), scrolls, and fun fabric ribbon bats. A little embellishiment and you have yourself a fun and easy card!

Hi Stampers,

We also have some fun new embellishments for you and those great clear treat boxes that you all wanted at the retreat last month that we used to make the marshmellow snowman. (project was posted on Facebook and the blog last month)

Don't forget to bring with you, your basic craft kit including scissors and adhesive... the rest of the supplies we will share.
