CLEARSNAP and SOMETHING TATTERED cross-promotion

hello scrappy friends! 

and welcome to DAY 3 of the CLEARSNAP and SOMETHING TATTERED cross-promotion!


from JUNE 20 to the 22nd, we are showcasing projects created by both of our design teams.

here's a little about CLEARSNAP®:


 finding new ways to help our customers add color to craft projects is our passion. from our beginnings in a garage workshop more than 20 years ago, we've grown into a leading US manufacturer in the paper crafts industry.

in 1986, CLEARSNAP®developed the ROLLAGRAPH® roller stamp system, beginning a legacy of innovation. rollagraph® introduced the world to the self-inking rolling rubber stamp with interchangeable ink cartridges and stamp wheels.

with the COLORBOX® line of inkpads, CLEARSNAP® introduced many features common on today's inkpads, such as the raised inking surface which allows the use of any size inkpad with any size stamp. CAT'S EYE® inkpads brought high quality inks to the market at an affordable price. PETAL POINT® and PAINTBOX® inkpads offer removable plates or petals in a multi-color palette.

CLEARSNAP® uses only the finest quality materials in our products. when we develop a new inkpad, applicator or embellishment, we put it through its paces. we invite some of the best, most experienced and demanding artists to test it for us. products that survive and shine through this process make it into our catalog and onto our web site.

*****

and here's a little about SOMETHING TATTERED:


 when BETH began hunting wallpaper for the bandboxes she was creating in 1990 it started a life of antiquing adventures and a passion for old paper. in 1993 BETH’s wallpaper covered boxes we featured in VICTORIA magazine and beth’s sister marilyn krehbiel joined her in the pursuit. marilyn’s business hannah’s treasures evolved into purveying historic wallpapers for movie sets. BETH peddled her boxes to the coast of california and settled in the west.

in 1997 Beth married Peter Neumann, son of a letterpress printer, who shared beth’s appreciation for the old paper arts. in 2011 Peter and Beth began SOMETHING TATTERED in response to Beth’s newest pursuit, wedding paper designs from her vast collection of antique paper.

in 2013 SOMETHING TATTERED launched the current line of craft stamps and in 2014 the new antique wallpaper stamps were added bringing the adventure full circle.

we hope you will share the passion.

we were challenged to create WEDDING themed projects without using patterned paper. the designs you see were created exclusively with CLEARSNAP inks and SOMETHING TATTERED stamps!

and here is what I came up with - THANK YOU box:


i decided to create the "THANK YOU" box-present for the guests. it's the perfect way to say THANK YOU for the wonderful day and all the smiles!

you can fill in the box with sweets and add a tag with the picture of the happy couple, their names and the date - the possibilities are endless.

products used: SOMETHING TATTERED vintage sterling monogram set, SOMETHING TATTERED swirls stamp set, SOMETHING TATTERED J initial monogram stamp set, COLORBOX pigment/archival silver ink pad, COLORBOX pigment/archival gold ink pad.

and here are some close ups:

to create the THANK YOU sentiment i used white cardstock, SOMETHING TATTERED vintage sterling monogram set and COLORBOX pigment/archival silver ink pad. i rubbed gold ink on my paper rose to give it a bit of colour.


i stamped the cover of the box with diamonds from SOMETHING TATTERED J initial monogram stamp set. i used COLORBOX pigment/archival gold ink pad.


to decorate my box i used SOMETHING TATTERED swirls stamp set with COLORBOX pigment/archival gold ink pad.

a vintage card {SOMETHING TATTERED}

hello crafty friends!

it is my turn on the SOMETHING TATTERED blog today and i've created an all occasions girly card with their GORGEOUS stamps!


to create this card i used various SOMETHING TATTERED stamps. 

 for my background i used the PARLOR VINTAGE wallpaper background stamp with VERSAMARK watermark ink pad. i covered the stamped image with SPARKLE N SPRINKLE princess rose embossing powder [EP387] and heat embossed the set. 


 to embellish the two pink hearts {TIM HOLTZ movers and shapers die "mini hearts" set} i used the SWIRLS stamp set with SNS log cabin embossing powder [EP397]

i die cut the leaves and the swirls with MARIANNE DESIGN dies. for the flowers i used SPELLBINDERS rose creations die and tissue paper. i used 6 layers of at least 3 sizes blossoms and adhered them on top of each other with glue dots. when ready i crumpled the petals to give them a distressed look and to cover the central part. then i covered them with VERSAMARK ink and sprinkled SNS princess rose embossing powder [EP387]. when you heat up the embossing powder, the flowers will crumble and stay in shape.


 to decorate the inside of my card i used SIZZIX 3-d pop up die as a template with pink, white and brown cardstock. 


i've created two writing areas, which i decorated with stamped chandeliers from the OU LA LA chandelier stamp set


i altered the edges of the cardtock elements with SNS antiquities embossing powder

for the pop up part, i stamped the fancy frame from the SWIRLS stamp set with watermark ink, covered it with SNS princess rose embossing powder [EP387] and heat embossed it. after the image has cooled down i stamped the sentiment using watermark ink, SNS log cabin embossing powder [EP397] and the OU LA LA chandelier stamp set.


i hope i managed to inspire you today!

something exciting & something tattered

hello scrappy friends!

finally i can share my SUPER-DUPER exciting NEWS with you!

as of today i'm an official member of the SOMETHING TATTERED design team!


SOMETHING TATTERED is the creation of BETH NEUMANN, an artist with a romantic vintage style deriving design elements from a vast collection of antique ephemera and her husband PETER NEUMANN, son of a letterpress printer.

in 2009 beth began creating digital art offering downloadable images for crafters using the name tattered vintage to describe the vintage style printables. soon she was asked to create wedding invitation designs. in 2011 beth saw the need for do-it-yourself wedding design tools and asked peter what to call the new wedding designs. he cleverly named it “SOMETHING TATTERED”.

beth and peter launched the first SOMETHING TATTERED design tools at the summer 2013 CHA create-n-connect trade show with 60 clear photopolymer stamp sets sized for printing romantic tag and ribbon ensembles.

i'm very proud to be the first BULGARIAN on this amazing team with artists from all over the world!

here is the rest of the SOMETHING TATTERED 2013-2014 design team:
tracey gregory (USA) - design team leader
mandy zimmerman (USA) - design team education coordinator
 dunja ducker (germany)
irena kowalczyk (poland)
teresa abajo (australia)
vicky alberto (canada)
misty christensen (USA) 
trisha neal (USA)

i'm so excited and i can't wait to share my creations with these brand new stamps with you!
