new distress stains & stamps…

hey there bloggers – it’s friday and i have some great news to share with you… well i’m sure you already know part of it from the first photo!  that’s right, ranger is releasing the 12 new colors of distress that were recently added to the palette as distress stains.  yep – all 12 are shipping now to a store near you.  i love these colors and have enjoyed using them as ink pads and reinkers so i can only imagine the possibilities with these new distress stains – so excited…

i’m also excited to be releasing 4 new blueprint stamp sets today from stampers anonymous (also shipping today).  even though christmas is just around the corner, i wanted to give all of you seasonal lovers plenty of creative time for valentines, easter, and 4th of july by releasing these images early.  the popularity of the blueprint series has been incredible and these next 4 sets are only the beginning (a little cha hint-hint).  check out these fun designs as well as the mini set of all 3 seasons…

i think what makes me most excited about this release is the fact that everything is shipping now so there is no waiting.  in fact, i’ll be demoing at the carson stamp show this weekend in the stampers anonymous booth, and i can’t wait to get there and play (i mean work).  you can bet we’ll be sharing photos of the stuff i’m doing on twitter so be sure to follow me on twitter as well as mario for all the BTS/behind the scenes.  have a great weekend…t!m
