PenPattern – Fun to Doodle/Color!

This week our wonderful Design Team have been featuring our PenPattern designs on their blogs. These simple designs have large, open areas for you to doodle in and color. They’re fun images to use with kids, and charming enough for any greeting! Of course they’re all available in wood mounted or Cling Rubber.

Here are a few of our favorites:

Love the way Lea took the time to doodle tiny shapes into the sections of our PenPattern Turtle. It adds such texture and life to him! Notice the cool Micro Glitter on the glue dot bubbles! Awesome!

Another quick one by Lea Kimmel, the alternating of doodling and coloring on the PenPattern Fish is so fun! Plus we love that she left some sections just black and white! The quick coloring time left her time to add bubbles, Color Fragments, and fancy ribbons to really complete the underwater look!

Tenia Nelson adopted this easy color book style for our PenPattern House. The bright, fun colors make it a delightful card for any age!

Finally, in a really simple card, Fran Seiford took some of our terrific papers made from our Creative Palette and just stamped the PenPattern Heart in different areas. It was a cinch to cut out the pieces and layer!

Ready for NEON???!!

Welcome to a week of fantastic collaboration between Stampendous and Imagine Crafts! These are two companies made for each other. After all, what are stamps with out ink?  We shared a bunch of our stamps and Stack Art kits with the Imagine Crafts design team and they were very generous with the ink! In addition to the gorgeous Radiant Neons™, we received some StazOn™ and Memento™ colors plus some yummy Delicata™! You’ll be seeing lots of these inks from our team in the coming weeks!

But we also sent them some of our fantastic Fran•táge Color Fragments in our hot colors to match their gorgeous new neon inks. And that’s what you can win in this terrific, week long blog hop! We’ll be giving three prize packages of 3 Radiant Neon inks and 3 Fran•táge Color Fragments (we’ll choose your colors). There will be a bright crafting future ahead of you! All you need to do is comment on as many of the posts as you can.

Back from NAMTA!

The National Art Materials Trade Association Show was last week in Pittsburgh, and this year they invited the manufacturers from the Craft And Hobby Association to have booths there as well. We hope this is going to lead to more and more collaboration between traditional art materials suppliers and craft materials suppliers. You have loved the collaborations we’ve done with folks like DecoArt, Faber-Castell, Tombow, STAEDTLER and others. We are excited to keep bringing you ever more uses for your art supplies in your crafting and vice versa!

Stampendous had a booth, and our own Fran Seiford was there demonstrating our Creative Palette and how to use lots of terrific products like Princeton Brushes’ new Catalyst wedges, favorites of Designer Willow Wolfe,  to add texture and pattern with DecoArt Acrylic paints on the Creative Palette.

We also had the effervescent and enthusiastic Nathalie Kalbach demonstrating in our booth with her exclusive Stampendous stamps! These stamps have been so fantastically popular ever since we released them in January that we have a very hard time keeping them in stock! No wonder since Nathalie has been all over the world from New York, to Canada, to Malaysia and beyond demonstrating and teaching her fun and funny classes with them! If you’ve never had a chance to take a class with Nathalie, you should definitely check out the schedule on her website. They are fantastic!

We’re excited that CHA and NAMTA have joined forces to help us forge new collaborations in the art materials world. Good things are coming!! Stay Tuned!
