This NEW stamp set has thick foam with deeply etched rubber. The rubber stamps that can cling mount to any clear acrylic block (clear blocks are not included in this sale, but are available through our store!).
What a space saver! They are part of the Studio 490 stamps designed by Wendy Vecchi. Check out our store for coordinating items like tags, ink, art parts, die cutting plates, even Wendy's books!
The stamps are also neatly trimmed, deeply etched, magnificent quality and made in the USA. The stamp sheet measures 6.5" by 12.5" and the stamps are proportional. A FULL COLOR inspiration project sheet (by Wendy of course!) loaded with ideas is included with this stamp set!
Per Wendy's blog: www.studio490art.blogspot.com:
the saying @ the top is a favorite...
and it fits perfectly on the large 5 1/2 inch scallop art parts trim....
I thought we needed some longer sayings for larger projects...
this coordinates with all the flower stamps...
I wanted a saying that would be good in an art journal...
or for any project involving the word...
ART...
and...this is fun...
the words SUN, ART & LIFE all fit in the memo pin opening...
so...the saying can be made into some fun custom epoxy embellishments, by using just some of the words...
I think I'll be using those 3 words...
LOTS...
THE FLOWER...
yippee!
is large...almost 4 inches tall...
I LOVE IT...
because it's solid, it can be "kissed" to any unlinked background stamp to add a subtle pattern...
Since it's bold, I like it stamped over a lighter color background stamp...
it's great for watercolor stamping...
just ink, mist and stamp on watercolor paper...
the unlinked flower can be "kissed" to an INKED background stamp for a totally different look...
and each background stamp will completely change the look of the flower...
it's different...every time you use a different background stamp...
trust me...
this is FUN!
the flower can be masked off (post it note) & the stem can be inked & used with several flowers from current sets...
it can be stamped on grunge & cut out to create dimension...
my smallest butterfly can sit on the "scroll " leaves...
I really like the "simplify" font...
it starts out kind of "fancy"...
but then gets simple...
I see it used with little stamped/cut out images (a mini house)over it...
or with leaves around...
or a flower or a butterfly sitting on the line...
I will also use it on the back of my projects, and I'll sign my name right on the line...
the LOVE saying...
is large...about 4 inches long...
I wanted a LOVE saying that was not too specific so it could be used for multiple occasions...
Valentine's day, engagements, weddings...
I see scrapbookers using this one with family photos...
it could be the title of a page with a child kissing a pet...
finally...
the giant background...
I LOVE this one too...
(go figure!)...
when stamped, it looks like vintage wallpaper...
it's nice & subtle, so it's a versatile background for lots of projects...
since it's large...
it's a good card base too...
this is one that I want to clear emboss & then ink over...
and I plan to stamp it with Ranger's watermark resist pad...
I like this one inked randomly for a really vintage effect...
