Stampin'Cat Fixure Tour

Howdy!

It's hard to believe that I haven't gone to Stampin'Cat every day for a month. Yes, it is freeing but I miss seeing my people. I guess as a small substitute, I'll show you guys some studio spaces where Stampin'Cat fixtures landed.

Vona bought slatwall, slatwall shelves and hooks, and some acrylic bins. She has decked her studio walls out! By putting the slatwall up, she was able to take a lot of stamps out of the drawers and put them in view. I bet they get used a lot more!

You can see she has stacked the stamps deep, three deep I think. Lots of products on those pegs and easy access to those color accents in the bins.

I love this corner! Very full of goodies and she knows where it all is! I love the shelving she put up around the room that shows off masterpieces, inspiration and stores larger tools.

Up next we have Peggy's studio. She also added a small piece of slatwall, hooks and shelves. She put hers right over her work station and now has all sorts of goodies right at her fingertips! I'm impressed. There's space to create!

Here's a before shot of Deanne's studio. Well, the corner of it. I just love the fabric streamers! They add so much color and help to diffuse the sunshine. Check out the smaller paper stack there.

And now, check out that organizational masterpiece!

She said, "I LOVE, LOVE my paper rack. It will definitely make it easier to find papers and as you can see it was meant to fit in that spot." Now that is happy!

Thank you ladies for sharing pictures of your studios with me and the rest of the readers. It feels so good to see that pieces of Stampin'Cat Studio found good homes and are being loved.

If you bought fixtures from me at Stampin'Cat Studio and want to share pictures, please send pictures to collectorlisa@gmail.com. 

More Creative Goodness

Howdy!

This time I created with my friend Ann at her river house. Nice place! Here's our view for the day:

Yes, it was beautiful and sunny all day long. Very inspiring!

I played with some of the goodies I had picked up at the rubber stamp convention the previous weekend.

I picked up some of the new Kite Stencils by JudiKins (starting on page 3) and had fun using Distress Inks and stipple brushes on white glossy card stock. Check out the top two card fronts:

And the bottom three backgrounds? Oh that's some new drooly stuff I got at the JudiKinds booth! Splash Ink is soooo fun! The top two were made by dropping Splash Ink colors on the non-stick craft sheet, misting with water then smearing the white glossy card stock through the color, just like Tim Holtz's wrinkle free distress technique. Ooooh! Pretty! I misted again and dragged the watercolor paper through for the bottom sample.

The above watercolor postcard was made by mixing colors on the non-stick craft sheet then just brushing the color on. Easy peasy! I did dilute the colors to create a better background colors then stamped with Archival Jet Black and Plum. Lovin' that Plum!

I made this complete card for the man. The background is more of the Kite Stencils. The circle stencil is Microbial by Crafters Workshop. I used Distress Inks and stipple brushes on glossy card stock here too. The phrase "I am currently unsupervised... the possibilities are endless!!" was stamped on another watercolor Splash Ink background I'd made. The phrase is the Dylusions stamp set Say How it Is by Stampers Anonymous.

Thanks for a fun, creative day, Ann! I was quite productive and had a great time!
