Filed under New Products, Rubber Stamps, Sale, Swaps

It’s a giant newsletter with info on 2 swaps and tons of new products… so get a fresh cup of caffeine and have a seat.

 
Chipboard Birds Swap
(and just a whole bunch of birds)

Create 6 original Chipboard Birds using 1 of the 2 new Maya Road Die-Cut Chipboard Bird Sets and receive 6 in return! Sample at left is by Guest Designer Karen Wittkop. Sample at right is by Design Team Coordinator Miz Bella. Swap details.

More bird items:

3 Red & Black Mini Paper Packs
4″ x 4″ sheets of paper (each pack with 4 sheets of 6 design) with tiny little dots, text, ledger paper, flowers and birds. Aren’t they adorable?

Cast Pewter Owl Charms
Beautiful antiqued pewter or gold-plated cast pewter charms.

Chipboard Milk Bottle Cap Buttons
Wonderful reproductions of vintage milk cap inserts. 12 buttons (in 1-1/2″ and 1″ size).

Peacock Charms
Antique brass-plated cast pewter. Tiny. Approx. 3/4″ tall (with the loop).

Antique Silver Bird Nest Charms
Antiqued silver-plated cast brass. Approx. 7/8″ wide (no loop).

Spread-Wing Brass Bird Charms
Raw brass. Approx. 5/8″ wide.

Silver Bird Clasp
Great idea: a lobster claw clasp (you squeeze his tail feathers to open the clasp). Approx. 1/2″ wide.

Gold Love Birds Charms
Gold-plated cast pewter. Approx. 1-1/8″ tall.

Birdcages Clear Stamp Set
Flowers, birds and birdcages (and a chain and a little perch). A sweet set.

Birdcages Color Rub-ons Booklet
Little booklet with five 4-3/4″ x 4-3/4″ sheets of rub-ons. Pretty, full-color birdcages, birds, butterflies, bees, flourishes, crowns, flowers.

(Speaking of Rub-ons, the Boxer Color Rub-Ons Booklet are on sale. The domino sample using these rub-ons, at right, is by Teri Calia.)

Bird & Branch Rub-ons
Sweet birds, butterflies, branches, flowers.

3 Birds Scrap Sheets
Beautiful 6″ x 9″ sheets. Includes peacocks, robins and nests. Die-cut and embossed. Imported from Germany.

Parrots & Butterflies with Glitter (Scraps)
Die-cut and embossed. 6-1/4″ x 9-1/2″ sheet.

2 Butterfly Scrap Sheets
(not birds, but they do fly.) Beautiful 6″ x 9″ sheets. Die-cut and embossed. Imported from Germany.

2 Cat Scrap Sheets
(ok… they’re not birds either, but you know about cats and birds having a special relationship.)

 
Fridge Magnet Swap

Create 6 original Fridge Magnets using the 1-7/8″ Jeweler’s Tins and receive 6 in return!

Tins are to be decorated on the inside and sides.
And there are new Self-Adhesive Magnetic Sheets for making the tins magnetic. Unleash your creativity! Paint, embellish, glue, festoon with ribbon, glitter, add 3-D elements, or whatever you’d like to do to make fabulous fridge magnets! Swap details.

 
More New Goodies

Cut N Paste Mat Pad
Nice small size (and small printed patterns with bright ’50s colors and a bingo card). They’re 4-3/4″ x 6-3/4″ and meant as mats behind/around 4″ x 6″ photos, but the small size is perfect for cards or trimming small projects.

5 Red Glass Teardrop, Heart & Flower Beads
Beautiful imported Czech glass beads.

Mini Compasses
Tiny little working compasses. Lightweight aluminum. Approx 5/8″ diameter.

Tinsel
Red, silver, gold, turquoise, fuschia, green or pink wired tinsel.

Crinkle Wire (Repro Bouillon)
Lots of beautiful colors! Similar to the Steifkantille (German Bouillon) but less expensive. It’s metallic-coated copper wire (so the copper undercolor occasionally shows through). And the packages are sold by weight (some of the strands are short) but you get a LOT of wire per package (each picture shows ONE package).

Notions Clear Stamp Set
From button holes to buttons, a ruler, rivets, straight pins and a zipper (which can also double as zig-zag stitching).

Heart Lock Charms
Antiqued gold-plated cast brass. Approx. 1/2″ wide.

Large Heart Charms
Beautiful gold-, copper-, or silver-plated cast pewter heart charms (solid, not hollow). They have a brushed finished and are subtly antiqued (and feel wonderful). The photo shows the size comparison with the Small Heart Charms.

Art Doll Quarterly Magazine — Spring ’09 Issue
There’s a wonderful doll with a hoop skirt that is open so you can see birds nesting inside (2 photos, below left) and an Alice in Wonderland diorama and, as always, a colorful gallery of dolls submitted by readers.

Charm Bracelets
Beautiful gold-, copper-, or silver-plated cast pewter charm bracelets with a soft, brushed finish. They feel great to wear. 7-1/2″ long with a toggle connector (and easy to shorten if need be).

2 New Colors of Narrow Silk Ribbons
Tangerine and Petunia.
