Thanks for your patience while I was resolving this problem!

Marvelous Marbling Examples

I had to cancel the Saturday morning workshop in the Background Bazaar series due to my illness.  There are still spaces available for Wednesday evening, July 2nd.
These are part of what the workshop covered:

Event List Temporarily Not Available

I am having some problems with the link to my events & classes list, so please e-mail me at mary@3amstamper.com if you want a copy.

I will let you know as soon as I have the problems resolved.

Textured Backgrounds Play Day

Take a look at the results we had from the Background Bazaar I Class - Textured Temptations displayed in the photo album

Textured Backgrounds June 2008

Everyone picked colors to use from the Color Coach.  The photo captions include the colors used, along with the stamp sets and accessories.

Check back soon for the technique instructions.

Decor Elements - New Product Line

Yesterday, Stampin' UP! announced the launch of a new product line, Decor Elements.  These are self-adhesive vinyl die-cuts that coordinate with our stamp sets and are quick and easy to apply to walls, mirrors, glass, etc.  They work like Rub-Ons and are large enough for decorating.  Plus you can change them!  These will be available July 1st.

This is an example from the matching stamp set that attempts to simulate one of the Decor Elements: Flourishes.

The Elements themselves are like parts of the main image that have been parsed out.  The flower/burst/medallion image comes in 3 sizes. The actual sizes are (smallest to largest): 2" x 1-4/5", 2-1/2" x 2-1/5", 2-4/5" x 2-4/5", 5-1/2" x 3-3/4", 10-2/3" x 7-1/3", 13-4/5" x 6-1/2" for all 6 elements. I can't wait for you to see them in person!

I will have the brochure and my samples soon and be able to tell you more.  If you would like me to send you a copy of the brochure, please make sure I have your correct mailing address.  E-mail me at mary@3amstamper.com.

Retired List is Out!

Here is the link to the list of retiring stamp sets.  You may download the .pdf file and print it out for your own information.

A Fond Farewell

I am still collating the answers for the contest entries.

If one of your favorites is retiring, contact me to order it before it's gone!

The list of retiring accessories, including Stampin' Around wheels, will be out near the end of July.  Anything using the InColor palette of Blue Bayou, Groovy Guava, Purely Pomegranate, River Rock, Soft Sky or Wild Wasabi will be only available while supplies last - you will need to get your orders in early for accessories.  Contact me if you have questions or to order.

New Feature - Events & Classes List

I've created a new section underneath the link to my calendar where you may download my complete, current class schedule.  It's a document you can print out and post somewhere handy for your reference.  This will save you from having to check through your e-mails all the time.

I have my dates set through the end of the year and will be updating with more details as I finalize my plans.  You can easily check what's going on whenever you like.

Try it out and let me know what you think - the label is "Events & Classes" and is right under "My Calendar" on the left-hand side of the home page.
