P

At the recent ACCI show in Chicago, there was no shortage of wonderful stamp products and projects. So for you faithful readers, here is a sneak peek at what you'll soon see at your local rubber stamp store or on your favorite web site.

Stampabilities has some new stamps with ethnic designs from Celtic to African. They also have new sentiment stamps to give your handmade card just the right message. You can view these stamps at their web site http://www.stampabilities.com

Tsukineko displayed the new ink colors for their Versacolor Pigment Ink line. New dark colors are Pinecone, Grape, Neptune and Charcoal, while the lighter side of the scale includes Vanilla, Bisque, Cement, Misty Mauve, Polar Blue, Laurel Leaf and Sage. Versacolor is also available in three color or five color multicolor pads. One of the five color pads is called Mocha Truffle and is as yummy as it sounds. See the colors at http://www.tsukineko.com

If you ever been curious about stamping on clay, check out the Design Original book Images on Clay by Nan Roche, Gwen Gibson, Dayle Doroshow and Barbara McGuire. Clay Collage, Transfer and Molume Gane are just some of the techniques covered in this book. Beginners will be pleased with the level of instructional information and experienced stampers will find projects to take them to the next level of prowess in their designs. http://www.d-originals.com is the site to visit. While you are there you might want to see the books from Dee Gruenig, Dazzling Designs and Rubber Stamping featuring Dee's Poshabilities line.

Dee was demonstrating her new line with Paper Adventures at the show. It is always an exciting opportunity to see Dee in action. She is one of the most wonderful spirits I've had the privilege to come across. She loves her work and is a true ambassador for the stamp industry. Visit the Paper Adventures web site to see the collaborative effort of these two marvelous craft producers. http://www.paperadventures.com. or you can visit Dee's own company site.

Accu-Cut always has great card designs and scrapbook ideas and this time was no exception to the rule. If you have access to a die-cut machine, they can be a great source for ideas to get your creative juices flowing. Don't just stop at paper. The machine will also cut fun-foam, magnet, compressed sponge, fabric and other items that you may want to use your stamps on. Check out the envelope and box die-cuts as well. http://www.jangle.com will allow you to access both the jangle and accu-cut sites in one.
