Hearts & Flowers (& Crowns… & Ribbons…)

Filed under Collage Sheets, New Products, Rubber Stamps, Sale

There are so many new things, I’ve been sitting here for half an hour not knowing how to begin.

Since the last newsletter, we had the “When the Cat’s Away…” Giveaways. Here’s a recap of all of the Valentine-themed sets. The photo at left is from the first day’s Giveaway, which included the new Tattoo Heart scrapbook papers and Purple Fringe.

(More) New Scrapbook Papers

Scriptease Purple Vellum Scrapbook Paper
Calligraphy script printed with copper metallic ink. Nice, heavy, iridescent vellum (semi-transparent).

Vintage Wallpaper Scrapbook Paper — Copper on Pink
Also printed with metallic ink.

Bronze/Green Ancestry Scrapbook Paper
Sage Green background with distressed, grid-like, medallion pattern in brown and burgundy and highlighted with gold metallic ink. Rich looking.

Vintage Roses/Olive Dots 2-Sheet Paper Set and matching Vintage Roses Printed Tags
Beautiful, large antique roses.

Zanzibar Paper Pad
6″ x 6″ sheets. Warm, spicy colors. Nice small patterns for cards, ATCs, paper dolls…

Aqua & Lime Butterfly Scrapbook Papers
The aqua sheet has faint rows of text as texture in the background. Works beautifully with this new Valentine collage sheet; see all of the coordinated products from the recent Giveaway including these papers.

Three single sheets of pink papers for Valentine’s Day:
Brocade Rouge Double-Sided Scrapbook Paper, Bright Pink Dotted Scrapbook Paper, and an ingenious Bright Pink Damask Double-Sided Paper with Side Panel so you’ll get die-cut frames with your sheet of paper.

Embossed Roses/Green Swirls Paper Set
The sheet with the roses is heavier paper and is both embossed and glittered (and there’s faint text in the background, the color of old newsprint). This thumbnail is only a snippet; the roses are smaller than the other rose sheet shown above.

Love Notes Pink & Red Scrapbook Paper Set
Two 12″ x 12″ double-sided cardstock sheets. Fun polka dot patterns (even the big, light pink dots have little white dots in them). And the beautiful tag (using these papers) is by Design Team Member Roc Nicholas.

Ribbons or Velvet Flowers (or Leaves)

Velvet Ric Rac
Simply gorgeous. Very soft and antiqued a little at the edges. Raspberry or Sweet Pea. 3/8″ wide.

Eyelet Velvets
Beautifully detailed and delicate. The round centers of the design are cut out (so you could weave in a thin silk ribbon) and the “S” shapes are like burnt velvet (there are still background filaments in place). 3/8″ (9mm) wide. Imported from France.

Velvet Flowers
Soft and pretty velvet flowers with a rhinestone in the centers. 8 per package.

Pea Green Velvet Leaves
One leaf style comes in a pale celery hue in two sizes: 1-1/2″ and 2″ in length. The second leaf style comes in an emerald green and is 2″ in length. Approx. 30 per package.

New Rubber Stamps

Nothing Succeeds Like Excess
One of my favorite Oscar Wilde quotes.

Irreplaceable Quote

Tim Holtz Royal Script Cling Stamp Set
A beautiful set of wings, a crown and vintage script that’s large enough to be a background for an entire ATC. Comes on a stiff backing board that doubles as storage.

Miscellaneous

Die-Cut Crowns (Yes, Your Majesty)
Die-cut crowns and borders made of heavy chipboard. The lines on the crowns aren’t printed, they’re actually embossed, so they have a texture.

Die-Cut Heart & Door Blank Books
Heart-shaped board book with 7 leaves/14 pages. Like the other Board Books, these have blank (unvarnished) heavy white pages (about matte-board thickness, so they can take some abuse).

Dog/Clown Mechanical Card
Reproduction of a vintage, die-cut mechanical card (you can wiggle the dog’s head side to side and his eyes will look in different directions; his tongue changes positions, too). Card has an easel on the back for standing. Envelope included, too. The text in the little heart says, “My dear Sweetheart.”

White Resin Crowns
Set of 3. Very 3D. Distressed for a milk paint or shabby chic look. The largest crown is 2″ wide.

Large Brass Crowns
1-1/2″ wide. The embossing is nicely detailed.

3 Clear Printed Tapes w/Dispensers
Overlay a card or other layout with these printed tapes. The wide, brown floral is 48mm (1-7/8″) wide x 10 yards in length (that’s the width of the tape; the design is about 1-1/4″ wide). The crowns and narrow floral (more geormetric) tapes are 19mm wide (3/4″) x 36 yards in length.

Memories Mists
Memories ink in a mister plus a matching chalk inkpad. A great way to add matching texture/stippling around stamped images. One or two sprays applies an instant stippled finish to any surface. Unlike other sprays or washes that create a watercolor effect, the Memories Mists ink spots stay in a dot so they create a perfectly stippled finish every time.

Clear Die-Cut Hearts
4 sets. Sturdy yet thin enough to be bent or stitched. I’m not sure they were meant to have separate inside solid hearts & outside heart outlines, but I like the option.

4 Floral Dresden Scrap Sheets (with some shoes & hats)
Beautiful 6″ x 9″ sheets. Die-cut and embossed (scanned against black paper). Imported from Germany.
