Part of Your World 1: Look at this Stuff!

Isn’t it Neat?
Wouldn’t you say our collection’s complete?

We’ve been swimming with mermaids this week in our Part of Your World 1 series. Be sure to join us next week for Part of Your World 2: Under the Sea!

Today we’re sharing one of our most popular stamps of all time! Our Mermaid stamp has been with us since January 2011, and she’s still one of our best sellers.

P151 Mermaid Stamp

She’s been featured in some of the biggest craft stores, like Michaels and JoAnn Fabrics, and she’s been offered by most of our independent retailers as well. She’s been the focus of tons of wonderful projects like the ones below: (click on them to make them larger)

 

But the pièce de résistance, we’re sure you’ll agree, is this amazing project by Design Team Alumni Suzanne Czosek! This project is our all-time most pinned project on Pinterest! It’s been shared and pinned to boards almost 8,000 times! Isn’t it luscious, with all that Halo Glitter, and Color Fragments, and so much more goodness! It’s really one of our favorites ever!

Do you have a sample you’ve made with our beautiful Mermaid Stamp? We’d love to see it! Feel free to post it on social media and tag us with #Stampendous or @Stampendous. Or post it on our Stampendous Facebook Group, our Stampendous Flickr Group, or email us at submissions@stampendous.com.  You can also upload a Stampendous project of your own at any time at https://www.stampendous.com. On the front page of our site you’ll see a place to Submit Your Project.

Celebrating Christmas

The focus on our inspiration week directs us to the sacred Christmas stamps from our Inspiration collection. The beautiful nativity and manger scene stamps are great for creating ornaments, greeting cards and decor for the holidays. They are also perfect to add on Christmas Program scrapbook pages, too.

Welcome to the Stampendous/EnviroTex Blog Hop!

We’re so happy you found us today! We’ve been enjoying the fun crafting potential of combining our fantastic stamp images with EnviroTex Jewelry Resin from Environmental Technologies. Carmi Cimiata of the Resin Crafts Blog has helped us learn so much about how this product works, what it can and cannot do. We’re so appreciative of her and the folks at ETI who sent us all some resin to play with.  {big round of applause!}

We’ve prepared some fantastic projects to inspire you today. We hope you’ll run over to your local Michaels or other craft store and pick up some resin and some Stampendous stamps and get playing. If you make something fun, please take a picture and put it on our Facebook page! We’d love to see what you’re doing!

Here’s my final attempt at resin for this week (but not “final”, I’ve had a lot of fun with this). I used the Stampendous Wonderland Perfectly Clear Stamp Set and the Steampunk Gears Perfectly Clear Stamp Set plus Lavender Crushed Glass Glitter for a fun Alice themed necklace and earrings. All charms, chains, bezels, etc. were from Michaels Stores.

Wonderland Set by Laura Weed

Everyone else is playing again today, too. And it’s safe to say they’ve left the best for last! Prepare to be WOWed!

As you visit each blog, you’ll be entered in our drawing for a great prize package when you leave a comment! If you don’t tell us you were there by commenting, we can’t include you in the drawing! We’ll pick a winner from today’s comments separate from the commenters throughout the week. Get hoppin!

In the End… It’s CLEAR, We Love Clear Scraps

Our Design Team is unanimous, we loved these projects.

At first they were timid…you want us to do WHAT?

Then they were worried… can I think of ANYTHING cute to do with this thing?

Finally they were excited! As they’ve shared their projects all week and enjoyed your comments and appreciation, they have really come to love these acrylic surfaces for so many things.

And NOW they’ve outdone themselves.  Sit back, have a terrific cup of coffee and something yummy to eat, because you’re about to be blown away. The projects they’ve created today are incredible!  Be sure to comment on each blog because you get one entry in our prize contest for every comment. We’ll post winners on Monday (or Tuesday…depends how many we have to count) so be sure to check back.
