SCACD Digital and Rubber Stamp Hop!

SCACD DIGITAL and RUBBER STAMP HOP!!!

Earlier this month SCACD released the Montage collection of rubber stamps, a total of 26 rubber stamps with a contemporary yet classic look that will make them a fantastic addition to your stamping toolbox for years to come.  They are available now for purchase HERE both in full sheets and as smaller sets.


These five lanterns are all individual stamps, but I strung them together for a back garden decoration :).  I paper pieced them using some gorgeous paper sent to me by a friend in Japan.  I popped a couple up and love the result.
 
 SCACD has also unleashed 12 fun and fresh SCACD Digital images for purchase HERE.




This image is from the SCACD Digital collection.  The background is created using the new rubber stamp Art of Chemistry.  I used white ink on black cardstock to give a chalkboard  look.  It seemed a bit empty and so I added the Dies by SCACD - Alice's Clock corner die cut from mulberry paper.
 
Now on to your next stop on the hop is a super special guest.  Carmen who is the image artist!  You can find her creation for the hop HERE.


International Customers:
The digital images can be purchased HERE.  The new rubber stamps can be purchased at QUIXOTIC PAPERIE for our International Friends.

If you get lost along the way, the complete hop list can be found on the store blog HERE.

Steampunk Heart

When this stamp was first released by SCACD it was an INSTANT favorite.  An anatomically correct Steampunk heart.  How could it not be a favorite?  It is AMAZING!



This is the latest of several creations using this image from the Mixed Media Blank Canvas Collection #2.  The background paper is by Graphic 45 with several different Stickles to highlight the image.  The watch gear accents are from a friend that actually took apart a watch to get them!

I am very excited to enter this into the Punk You Girl challenge for January of "Steampunk".  I saw that challenge post and my brain instantly when to this image :)

Challenges:
Punk You Girl - #8 Steampunk
DL Art Thankful Thursday - #124 Hearts

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited to have SCACD open again.  Such a fabulous place to shop and Susana has given us a special treat.  A NEW RELEASE!!   New rubber stamps and new digital stamps!!!


During the holiday break, however, I decided to spend time playing with some of the stamps from previous releases.





I just love his happy face.  The background paper is from Carta Bella and the pearls are made using the Viva Decor pearl pen

I am so excited for 2014!  I have had some changes and challenges in the last few months that I honestly  believe are going to help make things just get better and better!!!  Hope to see you here a lot in the coming year!
