I’m happy to announce that my grandson, Jesse, and two of his children, made a trip to California in September and brought my vulcanizer back. The next step will be to purchase raw rubber and restock Stamp Galore’s inventory. I’m concentrating on the line of Brownies with the goal of every one of the 170 designs being available as mounted, cling, or just rubber. When all stock is 100% available, I’ll make an announcement in NEWS on this site. The card that I’m displaying in this Sept./Oct. newsletter uses nine different Brownie stamps. They are 0540-F, Two Trees with Birds; 0544-D. Medium Tree; 0819-F, Hold That Rope!; 0814-A, Ready, Aim, Fire, Smoke; 05450-D, Rocks & Ground; 0524-E, Shrubs/Clouds; 0811-H, Fun with a Burro; 0174-C, Weed Patch; and 0544-K, Tall Brownie Grove. Stamps drawn by my mother, Marge Busby, and used in this card are 0705-F, Rocky Ground, and 0715, Rocks & Grass.
Stamps used are “Scootin’ Bear. Lg.”, “Tree Trunk”, “Scenic – Large Brownie Rock”, “Scenic – Two Trees with Birds”, “Scenic – Tall Brownie Grove”, “Rocks & Grass”, “Tall Grass, Lg.” and “Scenic – Long Branch.” Images are stamped with black Memories ink and colored with pencil. Card by Lynn Lane.
“Sailing with Border” is stamped on grey card stock with Brilliance Mediterranean Blue ink and colored with oil color pencils. It is trimmed with deckle scissors and layered over a deckle cut piece of metallic blue card stock. This is layered onto background card stock which was created by randomly stamping “Starfish #1” in Brilliance Pearlescent Sky Blue ink and “Sand Dollar” in Mediterranean Blue. This was layered on an 8 1/2″ x 11″ Dark blue Confetti card stock folded in half. As a last step, several other “Starfish” and “Sand Dollars” were stamped on grey card stock, cut out and mounted with cushion on the card randomly being placed where they would overlap borders. Card by Margaret Wiggin.
“Pine Forest” was stamped twice leaving a little space between to give the illusion of a path. “Moose Silhouette” was stamped in Memories black in the lower part of the card. “Tree Trunk” was stamped in black Memories, colored, cut out and placed on the card with foam dots. All coloring was done with chalks and sprayed with a fixative. Card by Margaret Wiggin.
