Stack Art Challenge! A Week of Inspiration – Treasure Hunt REPOST

 

 

This is a repost. We are participating in Seth Apter’s Treasure Hunt today. He’s linking to tons of the buried treasure on the blogosphere, so grab a cool beverage and a kitten and prepare to be amazed. You can see links to the other participating artists on Seth’s blog at thealteredpage !!!

We sent some of the world’s best mixed media bloggers an assortment of our fun Stack Art products. We asked for their out of the box ideas and examples, and whew, you will be blown away as we share them this week!

You know you can make these simple, beautiful tag projects easily and quickly. But when you take the ingredients for a simple tag to the next level, WOW!

Our Stack Art Kits have three components:

• The Stack Art Kraftboard Kit which includes all the kraftboard pieces you’ll need to make at least 4 amazing creations; die cut, double-sided adhesive for all the kraftboard pieces; and sentiments you can use to make each piece a special gift or card embellishment.
• The Stack Art Stamp Sets which include an assortment of terrific background stamps and other images plus an acrylic handle.
• The Stack Art Elements Kits which each include five jars of embellishing goodness to stick to your adhesive covered kraftboard pieces.

We’ve shown you in a series of videos how terrific these kits are for making ATC’s, mementos, place cards, photo frames, etc. You can check out the stack art videos on our YouTube Channel.

Going beyond what we’ve done before, we’ve got nine guest artists and our own design team showing us great ideas for Stack Art this week.

We’d love you to visit all their blogs, and leave your nicest, most insightful comments. We’ll be giving away three Stack Art prize packages this week based on your blog comments. Each Package will contain one Stack Art Kraftboard Kit, one Stack Art Stamp Set, and one Stack Art Elements Kit!

Our Stack Art Tag Kits are darling and simple mixed media kits of die cut craftboard, adhesive, greetings, etc. But they’re also the perfect answer for your Christmas Tag needs! Our in-house Sample Artist, Debi Hammons, took a bunch of these great tags and created these wonderful projects!

Lots of our House-Mouse Designs® images are the perfect fit for the terrific tag pieces! Add some micro glitter to the included die-cut adhesive pieces, some festive ribbon, and WOW… super easy, homemade tags or ornaments!

Patterned papers can really spruce up your tags easily, as well. You can adhere them with the adhesive shapes then just sand the edges for quick easy coverage!

Don’t forget the embellishments like Shaved Ice or Glitter! Our Winter and Christmas Micro Glitter Kits are perfect for these projects!

Debi stamped these images on regular cardstock then just stuck them to the kraftboard tags with the adhesive die cuts. OR you can just color right on the kraftboard tags with colored pencils for some terrific looks.

Our delightful new snowmen from 2014 look so adorable colored right on the tag with colored pencils.

Lots of other images fit perfectly, and will work well for Holiday Gift Giving!!

The tags even work perfectly for photo ornaments or keepsakes. Why not put one school photo from each year on a tag for a set of ornaments celebrating each child! At our super low sale price, you can buy plenty of kits!!

Of course after the holidays are over, the tags are ideal for celebrating the rest of the year, as well! (Just a little secret…you’re going to want to stock up… we won’t be reordering the Stack Art products when they’re gone!)

Be sure to check out the whole Stack Art Family of great products! Now at Black Friday/Cyber Monday savings.

Beautiful Butterflies

Our Spring Collage images are just perfect for a quick and colorful card! Pick certain areas to color, color the whole thing, don’t color any of it! Stamp on patterned paper for a quick card, or layer over many other images for a textured wonder! These great images are super simple to use.

You’ll notice that each of the images has a “space” that’s perfect for a greeting! Well, our Quotes greetings sets have lots of words that fit beautifully in those spaces.  They are:

SSC1201 Angel Wings Quotes

SSC1202 Regal Bird Quotes

and

SSC1203 Royal Heart Quotes

Here, DT member Kristine Reynolds shows how several layers plus some Encrusted Jewel Technique make a really dynamic card. You can get the supplies and directions for this card on our website.

CORRECTION!! Stampendous-DecoArt World Tour!

In our post for the Stampendous/DecoArt/Princeton Artists Brushes hop on Thursday we made a mistake! The video we posted as Susie Wolfe is actually Noreen Burgess of Just Us! Susie’s projects for DecoArt were completely different! So here’s a corrected version for you! So sorry to Susie and Noreen for confusing your projects!! Both are amazing!

We recently had a chance at the Society of Decorative Painters Convention in San Diego to meet with the folks at DecoArt and really gush over their products! There we met Susie Wolfe and we had a chance to catch her in action demonstrating our very own Stampendous Stack Art! Susie showed us how easy it is to make fantastic Mixed Media pieces with DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylics.

Check out Susie creating her mixed media marvels with DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylics here –

Below, Noreen Burgess, CDA of Just for You shows you her technique using the Stampendous Creative Palette over a practice sheet as a practice pad. Noreen and her friend Helen Stadter hand paint each practice sheet and sell them at SDP events. Just one more way the Creative Palette makes it easier for painters to get to the fun parts of painting.
