Teaser Alert!! Or is it a Release??

Thank you for stopping by, because today I have three new sets to share with you!  It just must be my luck because once again this new release was delayed.  Images I sent to the manufacturer in July finally arrived last week, and although this story is not the first time it's happened to me, I know if I was working 12 months in advance it probably wouldn't.  But never the less it's always fun to see new Christmas designs, and I hope you'll love these.  So are you ready to see our Christmas 2013 Cling stamps???  Here we go!

Holly Jolly Christmas

This cling set is a 6" x 4" set of 14 images and sentiments.

$22.95 inc. gst

Merry Messages

This cling set is also 6" x 4" and has 16 images and sentiments.

$22.95 inc. gst

Christmas Tree Trio

This cling set is a 4" x 4" set of 9 images and sentiments.

$16.95 inc. gst

There are no new samples just yet but we will have in the coming weeks I'm sure!  I'm going to get a move on this weekend and make some up.  I did use one of the Christmas trees in my last Topical Tuesday so be sure to check that out!

These are now available in store at AnnaBelle Stamps!  To celebrate ALL Christmas sets are discounted by 15%!  Simply key in the following code at checkout for the discount to be applied!

Blog Hop - August Release!

Hello all!  We are very excited to share with you four brand new sets!  These sets are a little different to what has come before and that is because these are pink!  Yes you heard me, pink!  The new sets are made of deeply etched pink rubber, are mounted on quality EzyMount™, precut AND come on a printed laminated storage sheet!!!  How cool is that!?!

So would you like to see our newest additions??  Let's take a look :)

Timeless

This sets images were illustrated by Kristy who I introduced to you last month!  I fell in love with this clock when I saw it on her blog, and the keys just looked as though they should go together!  I think this is a perfect set for our masculine cards!  It is approx. a 6" x 4" set if I was to compare it to the clear sets, but just a little larger.

BBD8

This new Backgrounds By Design addition is approx. a 6" x 8" set but a little larger than it's clear cousin.  It was designed by me and the three longer images on the left are about 150mm so fit the long side of our standard card size here in Australia!  The larger cling sets will come on a laminated panel that has pre-cut holes to go in....well the binders you'll find below!

Butterfly Sunshine

This set is calling for bright colours or pastels, and I think could work for so many occasions!  It is approx. 6" x 4" and has four varying sized butterflies and some beautiful sentiments :)

Splat Attack

Another super sized set Splat Attack is ready for fun!  I created this one with my DH in mind when I added the paint brush (he's a painter lol!) - and no, not an artist kind of painter, my study couldn't fit the both of us!

Finally we also have the binders that can store the larger sheets, but if you were wanting to add the smaller a hole punch would do the trick!  These binders close securely and have a clear panel so you can add a sheet with the details of what's inside!  They comfortably hold four rubber sets!!

Mini Binders

If you love the whole collection of new sets and would simply love to have them all then we have a deal for you!  Follow the link HERE to the bundle package and you will save 20%!!  Not only that but the bundle qualifies for FREE shipping!

Now it's time to hop!  If you'd like to play along then start at my blog HERE and follow your way around leaving a comment as you go.  Two names will be drawn with the first winning the first two sets above and the second winning the next two.  You have until Sunday night at 8.00pm AEST!!!

Hugs for now,

Andrea

Topical Tuesday #50 - Working With Inktense Pencils

Hi all and welcome back for this weeks Topical Tuesday!  This week it's my turn so I thought what a great opportunity to show you how easy it is to create the vibrant background to the card I made for our release blog hop using Inktense pencils.  I love working with these pencils!  They are so vibrant and rich and because they are permanent once dry you work and build on the colour without effecting whats underneath!

Unfortunately with the video the lamp I used to brighten my work area left the videoed result a little washed out, but I hope you can still get the idea on how I made this card!  You simply can't go wrong with these pencils and the more you play with them the more you become addicted to them!

Thanks for stopping by and watching!

Hugs for now,

Andrea

Thanks for stopping by....and good luck!!

Hugs for now,

Andrea
