***AWESOMENESS ALERT***

Guess what just arrived?  Yep, more Memory Box Dies & Stamps!  This shipment even includes the JUNE release items, too!!!!  Apologies for the pictureless post... I couldn't find any pictures on the net to even show you what the new ones are, so you'll have to come by and see them in person :)

We also received a shipment of Poppy Dies & Stamps... Poppy is a spin-off company of Memory Box, formed by MB's kids.  My favorites are the windows, doors, shutters & the new Grassland Border... but that is just me, you have GOT to see these!

Some helpful hints from Graphic 45...

Fussy cutting. Do you know what that is? Well, if you've taken any of Barb's Copic classes, you've probably experienced it first-hand ;)

Sometimes you really want to showcase the background paper, or you may want to create a scene, or you may even want to create an embellishment from paper.  To accomplish these ideas, you have to really cut in-out-around-and-through!  Here are some helpful hints from Graphic 45:

Now, go get fussy!!



JUST IN!!

The whole line of Dylusions stamps from Ranger designed by Dyan Reaveiem!  Here's a little bit about Dyan from Ranger's website:

Mixed Media Artist Dyan Reaveley's unique eclectic style comes through in her vibrant color combinations of inks and paints, using text as an insightful design element and the clever use of imagery in her artwork. Dyan teaches and demos with Ranger and is known for her creativity with layering color, images and thought-provoking collages.

Dyan owns and operates a teaching and design studio Art from the Heart in Harrogate, in the north of England. Dyan's mission is to introduce everyone to the fabulous therapy that is art journaling and creating mixed-media art.

 

Check out some of these awesome perfect-for-mixed-media-and-more stamps:

 

Fantastic!  And you should read some of the sentiment / journaling stamps!  If you are starting your own art journal, these are a fabulous way to add inspiration!  Not to mention great for cards, tags, and scrapbook pages :)

 

Two of our instructors, Carolyn & Vicki, are EXTREMELY excited to get these in the store!  So be on the look-out for these stamps in some upcoming classes as well ;)

ANYWAY, the whole point to that little time warp was to let you know that we have these awesome retro paper straws in a rainbow of colors:

These are great for party favors, centerpieces, and more... PLUS you can actually use them as drink straws :)  You should come in and check out our mustache sippy straws... super cute & quick party decoration!  Hellooooo..... high school graduation parties are coming up soon, no?

Melt art & the Melting Pot...

Have you seen these products from Ranger?  Yes, it is a blast from the past, renewed & revamped!

Here is  a little info about the Ranger Melting Pot:

Melt, dip and pour Ultra Thick Embossing Enamels (UTEE) and other embossing powders. Create 3-D embellishments for jewelry, paper crafting, fiber arts and home décor. Use with Project Pans for melting wax, glue, soap, candy, and for curing polymer clay.

• Melt - Dip - Pour!
• Optimum temperature control
• Non-stick surface for easy cleaning
• Large handles for easy lifting and pouring
• Built ergonomically for maximum comfort
• Three-footed base provides stability
• Rapid, even melting of many craft mediums

Here are a few projects we were able to make using several products in this line, such as the Ranger Melting Pot, Heat It Inks, UTEE, Mold-n-Pour and more:

Fabulous Vintaj heart filled with UTEE to which we added color with Heat It inks.

We took one of Tim's buttons and made a mold with Mold-n-Pour.  Now we can make these buttons in an endless rainbow of colors!

LOVE this one... simply take paper roses & dip into clear UTEE & let dry.  These were mounted onto a brooch made from some Tim Holtz hardware.

And finally, this small canvas is decorated with acrylic bits made from shrink plastic, Ranger Alcohol Inks, UTEE & some Tim Holtz stamp images.

Doesn't all of this look fun!  Come on in and get your hands on these fantastic Melt Art products and start playing!
