Tropical Treasures

Fran’s Watercolor Series continues with more Fabulous Friday FUN and some beautiful beach scenes to warm your winter day! The three newest Perfectly Clear Stamps supporting her lessons are perfect for combining or using separately to create colorful cards and mini-masterpieces to share with friends and family.

In Lesson 137, Fran focuses on the Dolphin Play and Go Fish sets of stamps showing how to use their many, interactive pieces to build various scenic panels. She also studies new background effects for creating underwater, ocean scenes.

You can watch the video here on our YouTube Channel –

In Lesson 138, Fran adds the gorgeous Shell Beach Perfectly Clear Stamps to the mix and shows you how to embed the shells in sand and create dimensional, layered images. Bright, natural colors give the finished cards the same spectacular looks as nature.

You can catch up with today’s video if you missed it here –

New Gift Card Wallet Dies

Our new Gift Card Wallet Die Set has so many possibilities. We cannot wait to see what you create with it.

Gift cards are often the present of choice for your gift recipients. They love doing the shopping and getting exactly what they want. But sometimes a gift card doesn’t seem like much of a present to the giver. The new Gift Card Wallet Die makes each gift card a present and a presentation that will be remembered.

In a new video, Fran shares our wonderful Gift Card Wallet and the other coordinating Cutting Dies and Perfectly Clear stamps that make gifting so much fun. More options are on the way for the Holidays in July! This die set will become a must-have in your collection. It’s not on our website yet, but you can find it at your favorite, local stamp store, and on many online places that sell Stampendous Products. The links to all the products are in the video description.

Take a look:

Peeking Pals, Fun and Frolic

Fran’s Watercolor Series will resume this Friday with some new stamp sets that showcase the new techniques she’s ready to show you! She has been sharing some Bonus Lessons in the interim, however, and we featured our Peeking Pals Perfectly Clear Stamps in her lesson last Friday. We know you’ll enjoy her whimsical paintings of these darling animals and want to try some yourself! Check out her latest videos, then get ready to resume lessons on Friday!

Wine a Little, You’ll Feel Better

For our January release, Fran created several Perfectly Clear Stamps Sets that include a frame image with sentiments that fit into the frame for easy, beautiful cards. One of those is our lovely Wine Frame. A beautiful, and sometimes funny, way to invite your friends to join you for a virtual glass of something from grape juice to Cabernet.

Our Design Team had a great time sharing with this fun stamp set. Let’s take a look at what they made.
