Stacy's New Release - By my Window Stamp Series

Happy Labor Day!  Hope you are enjoying your weekend........though it is the last official "summer" weekend.  But, hey, now you can really start thinking about your fall and Christmas projects!

Stacy has released her new stamps, "By my Window" series and here is a look at them! 

And for those of you who love to color, these stamps were made for YOU!

These stamps are quite  large, so they pretty much cover an A2 size card.  You just sit back and color the images (you know, when you are watching TV you can relax and NOT fall asleep because you are coloring!)  If you were here when Stacy visited, you were lucky to see these up close and personal.  Stacy had them colored and gave us lots of ideas on how to make them pop...........add crystal effects to the pumpkin to make it look glossy like a ceramic vase.  Add Swarovski crystals to the Christmas scene to make it sparkle.....and don't forget about the star outside! Stamp extra images and only color some parts so that you can cut those out and pop them on the fully colored scene.  The possibilities are endless!!!

I know many of you were intrigued by these new stamps.........please let me know if you would like me to get them for you!  You can start with the fall scene now!  (they come individually, you do not need to buy the whole series).  So, try one out and see if you like it!

Thanks so much for "stamping" by,

            ~Anna

Stacy's Classes were a Blast!

It was just last Saturday that Stacy Rich was here and we all had a blast!!!  Thanks so much Stacy!  You ROCK!  And I also want to thank all who attended and help make the special classes a huge success!

Again I got so involved that I didn't get a picture of all of the attendees nor of the wonderful food we had; believe me though, the stamp pads were flying, the new stamps were passed around and the laughter was non stop!

In the previous post, I showed you pictures of two of the cards from the class.  Here are the other two cards using the wonderful new set, "Weeds and More".

 

This is the very pretty and versatile new stamp set (Weeds & More) from Stacy.

 Thanks for stopping by,

Stacy's Classes, July 27!

Yay!!! Saturday, July 27th is almost here! Stacy Rich is cutting card stock, sorting stamps,  packing her bags and getting ready to teach at the Creative Corner! 

And here is a taste of what you can create at those classes:

  In the morning class you'll create several cards using Stacy's latest stamps. The cards may be simple, but always elegant!

Using Stacy's Stained Glass Stamps for Zentangle

Stacy Rich posted these two beautiful cards on her blog today!  She is so lucky to have Lori on her Design Team.

Aren't these cards fabulous?

I was going to try the "Stained Glass Rectangles stamp" for Zentangle but I guess Lori beat me to it!  I am just in awe of that card!!! 

In addition, Stacy posted a slide show of cards, again using her stained glass stamps; very artsy and unique!

Thanks Stacy for the great inspiration!

Stacy's Classes

Thank you Stacy for the wonderful classes you held for us on Saturday.  You had some great ideas and techniques, especially using your new wreath and stocking stamps.  Everyone just loved everything they made!

Here are some pictures from the classes.

And here are some pictures of the sample boards that Stacy brought with her.

Everyone found it so clever to make the fireplace card above from Stacy's border stamp, a brick embossing folder, holly stamp, and of course the stocking stamps.

The wreath stamp is truly very versatile.   Look at all of these samples; add berries, use Christmas colors, and you have a fabulous Christmas card.

Add flowers or sea shells to the wreath and you get another look.

Add punched leaves and you have perfect card for autumn.

Lastly, cut up the wreath and you get a creative border.

And here are two more samples made with the stockings stamps.

Thanks again Stacy for the fabulous classes.  Looking forward to your next visit!

Stacy's New Baby Stamps

Hi Everyone!
Stacy Rich sent me these great looking samples done with her latest baby animals! Aren't they cute? These would make great cards for the men in our lives.
They were simply colored with colored pencils or the cream metallic chalks.
These stamps are now in stock at The Creative Corner ! Stop by and you can start making your Father's Day cards today!

A New Video of Stacy!

Last month I saw Stacy at the Collins Show in Boston. You read about the trip and saw some of the cards we made. (See the post from 4/5)
Now, you can watch Stacy show you how to use her new poppy stamp! You can also go to Stacy's blog and see Stacy demo her bleach technique!
Didn't Stacy do a wonderful job.....I can't get over the fact that she did each video in ONE take!
Don't forget, Stacy will be coming to Wurtsboro and teaching two classes on Sat, Sept 11. Call the store now to reserve your seat. We always have a great time when Stacy visits.

Another Video of Stacy

Here's another short Video of Stacy, demo-ing her new Sleigh Stamp. Enjoy!

Stacy Rich's Visit

We had a blast when Stacy visited us yesterday! She had so many SIMPLE, yet elegant ideas to make our cards extra special. And Stacy's new sleigh stamp is just gorgeous. Here's a video of Stacy showing you how to mask and then create a pretty winter scene with her sleigh, evergreen trees and moon stamps. The black and white card, with just a bit of red is truly striking. I'm sure you'll get some great tips, so sit back and enjoy! Thanks so much, Stacy! As usual, you did a GREAT job. We love you and look forward to your next visit!
