tim tags with the new stamps!

hi everyone!

i have two more samples for you today using my new pine cone scroll stamps! today i used them more as a background stamp rather than the focal image. they also follow two of the recent tags over on tim holtz's blog.

the first one also uses Jen's sketch for last saturday's Sketch For You To Try->

and the card using tim's tag 11 tutorial:

i paired it up with some great pine needle patterned paper and accented the stamped images with my inkssentials pen.

here's a closer image of the main panel. the fragment charms are also stamped with pinecones and then embossed but the effect is hard to capture in a pic.

the next one is LOOSLEY based on Taylor's sketch from last friday->

And the card using tim's tag 9:

and a close up:

i used the pinecones to stamp randomly on the card base and then covered half with patterned paper from k & co. then on the main panel i also have pine cones peeking from under the "frosty - ness of the window pane i imaginethis snowman peeking thru :) yet another piece of tim holtz magic!!! just "flick a snow cap paint dabber on the top and bottom and then down each side. rub on the distress inks and stamp with distress inks and then wipe it off the painted portion which acts as a resist. how neat is that????? i just knew as soon as i saw tim's card that these pinecones would give the perfect hint of winter forest outside the window!!

all of the stuff needed for tim's tags can be found on my website too!!

i want to make another one with a few "whiffies" if i have time......

i would love to hear what y'all think!!

new stamps new stamps!!! check it out!!

i am so excited to add a new stamp set to my collection of exclusive designs!

these pine cones are so versatile - they work great as a focal image and as a background image. the solid bold scrolls are just gorgeous embossed. they are sold together as a collection and the largest image is approx. 3 1/4" x 3 1/4". This collection is UNMOUNTED - we suggest Tsukineko's Tack N Peel which makes it FAST, CHEAP and EASY to use all of your unmounted stamps as soon as they arrive!

Once again i have my mom to thank for her beautiful rendition of my attempts at explaining what i was looking for!

and now the stamps in action!

my first two samples use the sketch from MJ this week->

This is a technique we did last month at my SU tech club meeting - stacey always has something awesome lined up! i stamped on tissue paper with memento cottage ivy and rich cocoa - i ADORE the dew drops because the shape and size make it so easy to ink up a stamp in different colors with alot of precision. next i crumpled it, flattened it back out and then placed it on a piece of cardstock covered with adhesive. when i flattened it there were little wrinkles (hard to see in the pic). the ornament is seasonal grungeboard covered in antiqued bronze crackle paint - both available at Pez-A-Doodle.

and here is the second sample:

This sample uses one of the pine cone scrools as the focal image and then others as backgrounds. the main piece uses a technique from tag 2 of the recent 12 tags of christmas over on tim holtz's blog. i have been having alot of fun experimenting with all the ways to use these stamps!

the next sample uses Julee's sketch from this week->

in this one i again used one of the images as the focal image and this time i stamped with versamark and used distress embossing powder (LOVE these).

i added distress inks and finished it off with a piece of copper german scrap. the sentiment is a studio G of course!!!

This set of four elegant stamps is available for shipping now! i will have more samples posted for you tomorrow!!

Pezadoodle Design Studios is pleased to introduce...........

OUR OWN EXCLUSIVE stamp line!!!!!

i have been working on this for sometime and am just so thrilled it is coming together. So for the next week I will be giving you peeks at the stamps along with great blog candy every day starting tomorrow! AND don't forget the studio G acrylic block contest which has a SUPER prize! The winner will be announced next Saturday, june 7 when the stamps become available for purchase on the website.

so onto our first peek - also check out Amy, Jen and Mary Jo who will be showcasing the stamps on some GORGEOUS cards as well this week on various days.

Today I am showing you one from each of the three lines-Scrollybugs, Backgrounds, and Pezadoodles

First up is a card using the cobblestone background and the corner butterflies:

Both are stamped with versamark and then covered with distress embossing powder. then i used an ink blending tool and foam to lightly color in the white paper with matching distress inks. Primas and of course - sands of time bead pops.

next is the same butterfly corner stamp:

This time i stamped in versamark on black paper and used rangers detail gold embossing powder. the background is dimensional pearls - i squeezed random lines of 3 colors on a piece of cardstock, placed another piece on top and smooshed them together. i brayered over them a bit to move the paint around and then peeled them apart at from a corner.

this last one is from the pezadoodles:

a little dancing pezzy - colored in using prismas and gamsol. the background is also dimensional pearls *pounced* on with a piece of scrunched up saran wrap. The letters are grungeboard inked well and covered in layers of UTEE. This is the back cover of the chipboard album i did for my mom.

Speaking of which - my mom is the actual artist behind most of these stamps. She is really good!
