Peek #5

I am short on posting time today, but I wanted to give a little peek today.

Here is an advertisement that will appear in Scrapbook Business. The background may look familiar (see blog banner above). :) The main image - the calendar - is called Fete Days and is from the Beautiful Bisous line that will be released at CHA. It is a set of two stamps (the calendar and then one seperate flourish). Fete Days meaures: 3.5x3.75 inches.

The background images are called Kewel Pinwheel (featured a few posts below) and Apple Spice - also from the Beautiful Bisous line:

The binding that appears on the side of the calendar 'book' is an image from The Pinch It set that was released a few months ago. 

Once again, these images will not be available until February 10th in our webstore. Orders will not start shipping until February 20th (due to CHA). Remember, all orders are processed and shipped in the order in which they are received!

Thank you for checking out all of our sneak peeks! Check back in a few days for another sneak peek!  ~Karen

Re-release..not quite a sneak peek..but let's peek anyway!

Sharon commented below asking me to enable the RSS feed. Can someone PLEASE let me know if I did it correctly? (link below profile pic on left):) I'll be totally honest with you  - I just type here and I am slowly learning about all the blog 'stuff'.

CHA Re-Release!

We released a handful of AWESOME images during the summer, but they never got the fanfare of a CHA release and they have not met many of our wonderful retailers because it was a very quiet release! So let's meet: The Usual Suspects again.

This crazy group is a part of our Alias - photo realistic stamps. Use some glossy paper, solvent ink (ex: Staz On) and you will get a photo realistic image! They "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" is a part of our Pay Your Dues Greetings set and CRAZY is a part of a set designed by Margert Ann Kruljac: Identity Femme. The PYD greetings set and the Identity Femme set were released last year.

So, I've indicated there is a story behind many of our images. This one is no different. The woman in the middle is my Great-Grandmother, Anne and the mad next to her (in the back) is my Great-Grandfather. That is the only information we know about this photo. We have no idea WHY they are dressed the way they are or who else is in the photo. Maybe I have family members that were in the circus? :)  The Usual Suspects, PYD Greetings and Identity Femme are available now in our storefront. Have a wonderful day! ~Karen

It's another Sneak Peek! #4

Art Declassified presents: Kitchen Culture

I love kitchen accessories - especially vintage scales, jello molds, etc. I felt Art Declassified NEEDED some kitchen accessories! I do have plans to use these images to make a kitchen 'hint's' book and a recipe book, but until then, I leave you with this card: perfect for the man or woman in your life!

Kitchen Culture is a set of 13 stamps and will be available February 10th in the Evidence category.

The lips are from the Fred Loves Lottie set and the phrase is computer generated. The cardstock is from Worldwin Papers - wonderful cardstock for stamping!

Have a wonderful day!

oops...spelling error..

  human spell check error. If you just received our newsletter, I am aware that Sneak Peek is PEEK an not PEAK! :) Maybe I should fire myself! Just for that, here is another sneak PEEK:

This uses another Beautiful Bisous image - Sync Ledger (a set of 6 stamps) and kewel pinwheel (set of 2 stamps):

 

Sneak Peek #2...Meet "Alice"

There are many stories behind many of our stamps - especially the Aliases. In the newest Alias, that will be ready for sale on February 10th, is a picture of my grandmother, Alice Bimbi. Grandma B danced with her sisters in Vaudeville and they were known as "The Ames Sisters".

So, let us introduce you to Alice. Alice is one of our photo-realistic stamps. Stamp her using solvent ink onto glossy paper and the result will be a photo-like image. Glossy Paper: Photo paper, LASER photo paper (works great), glossy cardstock, flyer paper, etc.

Alice is a set of four stamps:

 

Perfect for an everyday card, ATC, a dance recital card,  you name it - Alice is just so cute!

2008 Winter Release..Just a Little Peek #1

We partnered up with Bisous (B-Zoo) Scrapbooks and plucked out some of the designs found in the PDQ Album in an Afternoon lines and created some really cool rubber stamps. 13 new sets(in addition to many other new images that will join our already existing lines) will be introduced at CHA Winter under the name: Beautiful Bisous. We love to create on shipping tags. Here you get a peak at our "Kewel Love" image. This rubber stamp image is 3.5 x 4.5 inches and it is so fun to color in! It also comes with a second little circle stamp. (if you check out our banner, you'll see another sneak peak)

You'll get tired of reading this...but we need to say this again:

Happy New Year...9 days late!

Whoa..I missed New Years! Happy New Year!

We are hitting crunch time in the craft and hobby industry as many companies (Art Declassified included) prepare for the annual Craft and Hobby Association (CHA) trade show next month in Anaheim, CA. We will be in booth 1687...COME VISIT US! We'll have make and takes and lots of fun stuff in our booth.

We have just about two dozen new designs coming your way. I'm really enjoying playing with the new images and I can't wait to get them into everyone's hands! Within the next week I'll prepare little sneak peaks for everyone!

Please stay tuned to this blog. Our overall plan is to overhaul this blog and make it a bit more user friendly. We hope to update weekly (if not more) and provide fun projects on a weekly basis on the blog as well as our newsletter! (If you havn't signed up for the newsletter...go ahead and sign up!! :)  )

Have a great evening and check back for some sneak peaks~
