Out of Africa with DP Artworks rubber stamps

Here is a card from Erma Jean C. from the Chicago area. This is our first card from her. This is one of our newer stamps. The stamp is called Parade (WI 101H). She picked this up at Stampaway this year. It was awesome meeting her. The colors under the giraffes are copic markers. For the pattern in the background, the triangles are the corner of an ink pad. The circles were made using a pen lid. I am not sure what ink she used but it looks a bit like Colorbox Chalks pads. I am so happy Erma Jean sent us this card. Thanks again Erma Jean.

The Big Apple sample

Along with the cute little inchie tags that Bridgette sent (posted yesterday) this card came as well. The stamp she used is Apple (TR 33 F). She stamped it using a Burnt Sienna Chalk pad. She added the color using water soluble colored pencils. I like the subtle colors of the red white and blue color families she used. We love this card!

 

Someone e-mailed me and asked what we do with all the awesome samples. Good question...We use them at shows, of course on our blog, tip-ins for our catalogs, and color copies are sometimes sent to stores to use as samples to spark creativity. Thanks for all the samples and e-mails.

Stampaway 2010

Okay, here they are.....photos from Stampaway 2010! It was such a great show this year! Everything went smooth....classes, the show, even my trip to the dentist. I am so excited about next year. We are already talking about new images and stamps we will be making. If you have a saying or image ideas let us know...... we always love the input.
