It's A Duo Day!

Prima's brand new DUO Clear Stamps come with two stamp designs in each package! These monogram letters are perfect for SOOOO many projects!

.................................................................................................................................................
You can use the Duo stamps straight on white cardstock and then colorize with chalk and pens. This wall sign was created using Morning Song paper (810399, )the Duo stamps (B-810603, O-810733), a bit of glitter chalk and a bit of penwork.

..................................................................................................................................................
Sharon made this little sign for her daughter's room. She popped the stamped nickname piece onto some cardboard for dimension and then tucked a few Painterly Petals (524265) behind the design. A new Say It In Crystals center (522063) finishes off the design with a touch of sparkle! Simply tie a piece of ribbon to the sign and hang on a doorknob or wall for a personalized little gift!

......................................................................................................................................................
Again, the Duo stamps were created to use with Prima's Times chipboard letters. These two products are a match made in heaven! Brittany Laakkonen simply stamped her monogram on a piece of Tea & Silk patterned paper and then added the corresponding chipboard letter. A few hearts are cut out of Prima's new Collage papers (850074). The mulberry collage papers add tons of pattern and interest to the design!

........................................................................................................................................................
Just take a peek at the depth you can create with the stamps and chipboard letters when used together! They can add a whole new dimension to your paper crafts!

...........................................................................................................................................................

Presenting Stamps That Are a "Must-Have"!

The new Duo Stamps are amazingly versatile.
Each package contains two amazing stamps that work hand-in-hand with Prima's Times Chipboard letters. Of course they can be used in a wide variety of ways. Just check out these projects! We will be posting some additional ideas later this week.
.....................................................................................................................

Flower Girl, Brittany Laakkonen simply used the "B" Duo Stamp (810603) as a monogram on these  stationery sheets. She colored the sheets first and then stamped her initial on each one. ...........................................................................................................................................

Each stamped image was embossed with clear powder for shine and texture. What a great use for a single stamp! When you run out of stationery you can easily create some more with your Duo stamps! ..........................................................................................................................................

This layout is created on a brand new Paintables design (811204)! Brittany first watercolored the background, then added her accents...a bit of Voila  lace trim (880200), Painterly Petals , Prima brads (810252) and a Morning Song rub-on (810894). 

  ...............................................................................................................................................

For her title she stamped first (using Duo stamps (810832, 810733, 810795) and black ink). After she stamped, she chose coordinating Times chipboard letters (517892) to place on top of the design.

These two products work perfectly with each other and they help you add depth and texture to your layout. ...........................................................................................................................................

Tuesday Ramblings...

Happy Tuesday! Today we have a mixture of designs showcasing some of our newest products. We hope you like them!
.........................................................................................................
18, by design team member Adrienne Looman, uses just a tidbit of "Skip A Beat" paper from the Morning Song collection (810429). A scattering of Belle Fleur flocked flowers (524494) and Elysee ribbon (519742) add loads of texture to this extra fun layout.




.........................................................................................................
"Pretty Love" by flower girl Rita Weiss, is filled with color! Rita easily mixes two patterns from the Morning Song collection (810528), while adding a flourish of color with Belle Fleur Satin flowers (518141) The whole design is tied nicely together with a coordinating Morning Song ribbon (810207). Did you notice the adorable Sweetheart flocked hearts (523282) peeking out from the title?
.........................................................................................................

  "My Prince Johnny" is a sweet compilation of some amazing new Prima products! Sharon used the Whisper papers (820299) to create a masculine page, with fresh touches of lighter colors mixed in. The title is created with an epoxy sticker, a Whisper jumbo chipboard letter (820022) and some Whispered Words flocked letter stickers (812041)! The journaling area is simply stamped with one of Prima's new stamps-the postcard design by Christina Renee  (850012) and is sealed with an Angelique brad (810221).

Luscious Bath Storage Ideas!

Bubbling, moisturizing bath products are all the rage, but they can be hard to store. This is where your empty Prima tins will come in handy! The beautiful tins make the perfect containers to keep those special bath bombs and massage bars in. You could even go one step further and decorate them a bit.

...................................................................................
A Say It In Crystal frame is perfectly situated on this Vintage Bloom tin (519018). Add a brand new peaceful  IOD epoxy sticker (810177), a Painterly Petal flower (524241) and a Urban Cosmos brad ( 870010) to finish the tin off with style. This tin is perfect for small bath bombs, massage bars and small soaps. Tin by Brittany Laakkonen ..................................................................................

The Silk Road round tin (515768) is perfect for solid shampoo bars, small bubble bar slices and soap bars. Simply add a gorgeous new Belle Fleur Carnation (523565 ) to the lid and a piece of Dude ribbon (820053) around the base of the tin...simple, yet elegant. Tin by Sharon Laakkonen
...................................................................................

Remembering to take a few minutes of quiet time each day is so much easier with this decorated tin reminding you! The Silk Road tin (515720) holds a variety of bath products including bubble bars and larger massage bars.. The tin is decorated with a Tea & Silk epoxy sticker (810177), a Painterly Petal flower (524258), a touch of Elysee ribbon, (519483),  Tea & Silk ribbon (810214) and a beautiful Vintage Brad (517663). Tin by Sharon Laakkonen, digital brushes by Vera Lim, available at www.primahybrid.com
....................................................................................

Prima's tins will store your soaps and other bath products beautifully, but they are not water-proof. For best results keep bath products in a sealed plastic bag inside the tin to ensure freshness.
