Part of Your World 1: Mermaids and Friends

May 10, 2017May 10, 2017 Janelle Stollfus2 Comments

Mermaids are really hot right now! You see them everywhere you shop. We’re lucky enough to have some of the coolest mermaids in town.

In addition to the wonderful Mermaid Fishes Set from artist Laurel Burch that we introduced Monday, we still have our awesome Mermaid Friends set.

CRS5088 Mermaids Cling Stamp Set and DCS5088 Mermaids Die Set

Like most of our Cling Rubber Stamp Sets with coordinating Cutting Dies, this is a Limited Edition. If you’ve been waiting to add this gorgeous mermaid, staring into a beautiful pearl, surrounded by her fun, eager friends, to your collection, you might not want to wait much longer. Take a look at just some of the great inspiration using this wonderful set. You can see that all the pieces work seamlessly together, and they all shine separately as well! (And they all look amazing with those Graphic45 papers! Thanks G45!) You can click on an image to see it full sized.

Loving our Mermaid and Friends??? We sure do! Take a moment or two to watch Fran make some of these gorgeous cards!

All you need is a sticky base and elements that catch the light in a room to add glitz to your projects. Here is a beautiful burst of shimmer and glitter from Spoonful of Silver and Spoonful of Snow used on a Sticky Panels sheet for a home base to Fran’s festive bluebird card.

Happy Friday everyone! It’s a combination day of 31 Days of Halloween and our Really Mice Fall theme week with these little sweet adventuring mice who are ready for trick or treating. This might be our longest post yet this month with hop lists for both events going on, but we know you’ll enjoy whatever hop you take to our designer’s projects.

We just love what Debbie Cole created with House-Mouse® Mice Costumes and how much fun it will be to have her trick or treat box out for Halloween decor. All the instructions and supplies are available on our website, just click on the photo’s caption to get there.

For a full list of online retailers who carry Stampendous products and even these cute and adventurous mice go to our Store Locations and click on Online Retailers under the map.

Our adventure here with Monica, Amanda, and Maxwell trick or treating around the jack o’lantern leads us into Halloween goodies with our 31 Days hop!

DWLJ911_R269_DC_800 — Steam Pumpkin Gears Frame by Debbie Cole

We are adding painting to our Stencil Thursday post because well, we are still having a great time at the Heart of Ohio Tole painting convention. With all of our wonderful stencil we have from Dreamweaver Stencils and Fran’s metal stencils there are plenty to add accents to your painted projects.

Stencils can add wonderful texture in any of your painted decor pieces like Debbie Cole’s Steam Pumpkin Frame shown above. The gears in the background create a fabulous depth and mat the floating painted Steam Pumpkin image amazingly!

Debbie used the Large Scale stencil to create a quick and beautiful shingled roof for those delightful Winter Tweets birds.

Decorative Painting can be a HOOT!!

August 8, 2016August 7, 2016 Stampendous3 Comments

If you give a Mouse a Paintbrush…. do you think he’ll paint candy canes??

Or do you think he’ll branch out into a Decorative Painting frenzy and create some wonderful projects with the latest Stampendous Holiday images? Well our artistic consultant Debbie Cole, CDA, while not a mouse, did just that. She creates some incredible projects for every one of our catalogs, but for our July 2016 Catalog she really surpassed even herself.

We’ll be sharing her projects on our blog all week this week, because it’s the Heart Of Ohio Tole convention in Columbus, Ohio! Stampendous is there with our latest Holiday products and projects. Come see us on the Exhibit Floor. No need for membership to shop, watch painting demonstrations, and learn, learn, learn.

Our wonderful Design Team are sharing on their blogs as well!! Check out how much fun we have when we play in the paint!! We bet you’d love it, too!! Join us each day to share in the fun! And if you’re in the Columbus area…be sure to head over to HOOT!
