NEW Stampers Anonymous Release!

HAPPY FRIDAY...

I'm EXCITED to share my new stampers anonymous release today!

we had planned to release these new goodies at the Collin's event this weekend, 
but evil Irma had other plans...

I've been thinking of my friends to the south constantly and I hope Irma moves out to sea without causing major issues...

we've been to the islands many 25+ times and to think that Irma is hurting them & the residents is simply heartbreaking...

I'll be praying for ALL of you...
BE SAFE!

Ok...

I thought I'd share the flyer pages...
there you'll find examples of how I used the new products...

here's the direct link to stampers anonymous, where to can also view the pages...


please let your favorite stores know what you need & would like them to order...

they too are just getting the flyer now...

you can also order directly from 


I'll be doing mini videos to show close ups there...
and I'll do a GIVEAWAY too!

stay tuned on FACEBOOK over the weekend & I'll have a GIVEAWAY there too!

remember...
you can click on the photos to see them larger...

Here's the front cover...





we have 2 new stamp sets, 
one with a twist...

SCS152 is CAFE ART...
that lace stamp is SUPER pretty!
and 

SCS153 AUTUMN ART 
also includes a STENCIL!
I'll explain that later...
but at $1.00 more...
TED gave us a great deal!


next...
3  new BACKGROUND STAMPS...

LINEN...
taken right from a shirt I was wearing...

the DOODLE WREATH is ADORABLE and has the perfect spots to add Enamel Accents to create berries...
I like it stamped in Fern Green or Potting Soil...

and the 3rd new background is 
a REVERSING/TECHNIQUE background stamp...

it's a sheet of solid rubber with LOTS of possibilities...

I especially wanted this to use with mat minis...
I'll show you how very in a mini video on Instagram/Facebook...

I've use it with Dina's scribble sticks too...

it's a GREAT tool!

next we have 
2 new STAMP-IT STENCIL-IT's...

these are super fun...

SIMPLE REALITY and 
AUTURM HARVEST...

with these you get the stamp and the coordinating stencil in the same package...

we included the
 SELECT A SENTIMENT in the flyer,
so that you can see
that some of the new sentiments will
fit in the label area...
you'll see that example 
on the front cover...

there's a better sample of SIMPLE REALITY in the photo after this one...




next up is a new Stencil called 
WALLPAPER...

this is based on the wallpaper I remember from my grandmother's bedroom...
I think her's was stripes with tiny roses...
but I LOVE polka dots...

the stencil is simple stripes & dots 
that can be used to fill a background or 
use just one section as a border...

below is an example of the SIMPLE REALITY
stamp-it stencil-it...
that pretty yellow flower/leaves...


this next page has the new
INK PALLETE...
O M G...
it's simple, but EXACTLY what I needed...
and at $2.99 the bargain of the century!
it's a MUST HAVE...


sit down for this...


THE CUTEST MAT MINIS
E V E R!!!

we have GET MUGGED, which includes cups with saucers & a nice sized mug...
these are perfect for year round cards...
and these make GREAT guy cards too!

and MY MOST FAVORITE 

AUTUMN ESSENTIALS...

the most ADORABLE pumpkins...
there are 2 sizes and seriously you'll faint when you see the mat mini ACORNS in the set...

I smile every time I use them...

they coordinate with 
the acorn stamps from SCS 153...
just ink the stamp with JET BLACK & press the mat mini onto the inked stamp for perfect placement...

seriously, the detail in them is awesome!


and here's more samples from the back cover...


and here come more samples...

the mat mini mug got run thru the stripes embossing folder twice to create the plaid...

the stamped leaves?
hmmm...the leaf stamps are solid...

here's how to create them & change up the stamp...

ink the leaf stamp...
stamp over the inked stamp with a clean stamp...
I use the screen background...
that REMOVES the ink and leaves the pattern on the stamp...
then press the coordinating mat mini onto the inked stamp...
MAGIC!
it makes the ink color different & I'm LOVING this technique...

you'll see this in lots of samples...
a simple trick, but it really changes up the look of solid stamps...
use a different stamp each time...
super fun!



here's another example of that...
the cup and saucer from SCS152 are solid images and the cup was done the same way...

the NEW LINEN background, the herringbone background, the vintage mesh and the SCREEN background stamp are awesome for this technique, because they have small patterns...

I also used it on the leaves from the older set SCS137...
and gave them a new look...

combining older with new is what I LOVE...


the mat mini's can be inked, stamped, stenciled, embossed with embossing powder & run thru embossing folders for a MILLION possibilities...

since they are laser cut, they are the same on both sides...

that means the handle can be on the left or right, whichever orientation fits your design...

love that LACE stamp!



this next sample shows how to change the mug from SCS152 to a flowerpot...

stamp it...
cut it out, but chop off the handle & now it's a flowerpot...

and then it you chop off the section above the stripe, it shortens the pot, so now we have 2 perfectly sized coordinating pots!





here's an example
of the leaves stamped as a background to create my own paper...
the Potting Soil enamel accents make it pop!


now the INK PALETTE...
since distress and archival inks are translucent inks, when these are put on the craft sheet, you don't get to see the beautiful colors...
with the bright white INK PALETTE...
YOU DO!

you can watercolor right from the palette & see the exact color...



here I'm using my mini Archival pads...
and now I can mix a custom color & see exactly what it is...

if you use distress, the INK PALETTE will clean up with water...

if you use it with the archival inks, clean up is simple with rubbing alcohol or the new Archival stamp cleaner from Ranger...

I LOVE this thing...
it's 5 inches square, so it's designed to take up very little of your workspace...

it's laser cut from the same strong material that my stamps sets are stored on...

mine is always out, but I've added a second one to my stencil binder...
I used the crop-a-dile to punch a hole & it's a perfect fit...

Potting Soil & Garden Patina?
YES please!



so there are my newest babies...

I'll be waiting to hear YOUR FAVORITES!

sorry it's been so long since I've posted...
I'll try to be better...

but you can always find me on INSTAGRAM...
