Tracey Malnofski From The Stamping Boutique

Today I'd like to introduce to you one of the stamp designers that we work with. Tracey Malnofski from The Stamping Boutique is the most amazing artists I've ever met. She is so divers in what she creates that every time I see a new image from her I'm totally amazed all over again.

Tracey and I have teamed up to offer you her designs in clear photopolymer stamps. All of Tracey's digis have been digitally redrawn so the lines are crisp, clean and smooth and give the best stamping impression your looking for when creating a project. 

All of her stamps come in a resealable cellophane package with all our contact information. The stamps are on a front & back acetate sheet. The front sheet includes the stamp image laserd onto the front of the acetate sheet so you can see the stamp image through the package.

Tracey's artwork is perfect for card making, scrapbooking and mixed media. 

You can view all of Tracey's stamps here. 

Tracey has an online digi store as well "The Stamping Boutique". You really should stop by her website and have a look. There are tons of beautiful images to work with and make paper crafts from.

Here are some gorgeous design team creations using some of Tracey's stamps.

We hope we have inspired you in some way today!

Pickin Cherries!

Happy Monday craft lovers!  I hope all of my American friends had a fabulous and safe Independence Day?  I know we did, burgers, dogs and chips!  Yummy!  

Today I'm going to share one of the NEW Lilly Mae illustrations now on sale in here in the store!!  The design paper is Authentique and full of little dusty brown birds on tree limbs and a beautiful color coordinated wood grain.  The image was colored with my copics and cut with Spellbinders dies.  I've loaded the right side with blossom die cuts from the Darling Squares set of dies and the left with bits and bobs from my stash.  There's even a little cherry charm and a beautiful red and white stick pin too that match the beautiful butterflies from Angelica's Etsy Shop!  

This project is loaded with extras that work together to create a summer scene that brings back wonderful old memories of when we were young!

click here to go to the store for this image 

Copics are listed on my blog but the skin tones are E000,E13, E93,E95

More specific information on Copics and places to find the little places where I get my bits and bobs!

Thanks for joining me here today!  Have a great rest of your Monday!

Hugs,

It's Wedding Season at Treasured Times!

It's Wedding Season!  And I've done some simple coloring for this delicate and simple card!

I've Copic colored the Wedding Couple image from Treasured Times Rubber Stamps Store and shown you how I colored it then assembled it on my

You Tube Channel

There are a few little pieces of information I want to be sure to share though.  The organic design paper is from my stash and the store I purchased it from is not longer in business but this sort of material can still be found online!  The flower sprigs were created from some wire flowers I found on sale at Hobby Lobby.  The dies are from Spellbinders and I've added stickles to her veil and liquid pearl to the cake dots but the project is for a save the date announcement so is still just a single layer.

If there are any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me!

Mystery Release Party EXTENDED & UPDATED!

Hi everyone! I've secretly been working on something very exciting for the last few months. And let me tell you how hard it was to keep it a secret! Today I can finally share the exciting news with you all! Before I tell you all what it is, let me just say this was one of the hardest releases I've ever tried to get finished. Everything that could of gotten in the way did. But thank goodness I can finally release them!

I'm excited to announce that I now have my own stamp line!!! 

My very first line of stamps is called the "Lilly Mae Collection". 

These were designed and licensed by me and illustrated by the very talented, sweet Tracey Malnofski! I tell Tracey my ideas and she draws them for me. How cool is that! 

For our first release of this line we have started out with 6 of the most cutest little girls. Each girl in a different scene and each one tells a different story. 

I can't tell you in words what this line means to Tracey and I. We worked extremely hard to come up with some of the most cutest images that we thought that crafters like yourselves would love to color and make paper crafts with. 

We hope that you like these as much as we do, and that you have fun crafting with these. 

My design team has created some of the cutest cards for this line, and we can't wait to show them to you. 

All of these are available on the website here. We're only offering two of these images as digis. The Beach Comber & The Dress. All the other images will be in photopolymer clear stamps. If you're interested in purchasing digis. They can only be purchased from our Etsy store here.

The first image is called "Bird Keeper". It's my favorite image out of all of them, as you will soon see. I just love this one so much. 

Keeley created the card for our Bird Keeper stamp, isn't just darling! 

The next image is called "Cherry Picking". 

Tammy made this adorable card using our Cherry Picking stamp. I love the colors on this. So cute!

This one is called "The Dress".

Keeley made this one. I really wondered when we did this image how a card would turn out using it. I think it turned out perfectly. 

This one is called "Beach Comber". 

Tammy made the card for this one. She used watercolors to color the image. It turned out adorable, and I love the seashells!

This Lilly Mae is called "Kite Flying".  

Keeley made this card and check out all the little details. Picket fence, and hanging heart. Love the colors on this one.

And this is the last stamp and it's called "Birthday Party". 

Tammy made this adorable layered card. It just amazes me how many layers there are on this one. 

My design team is so talented! I'm so lucky to have them on my team! 

Thank you Keeley and Tammy for making such beautiful projects with my new line of stamps. I love everything you made and your work is amazing!!! 

Thank you Tracey for working with me on this line! It was so much fun doing this together! Your amazing at what you do and keep doing it!

Here's a photo of one of our package inserts for this line. I designed these myself and I love how well they turned out.  

So what do you all think of my new line of stamps, do you like them? We hope you like them and have tons of fun with them!!!

Introducing New Design Team Member!

Hi everyone! Jody here today to introduce to you our newest design team member Tammy Houghton Cunliffe!

We're so excited to have Tammy on board with us. She is a wonderful paper crafter and die designer! 

A little background on Tammy.

My start in paper crafting (20 years ago) was in scrapbooking my beautiful daughters’ photos.  My greeting art, (I secretly call it) along with my craft booth and blogging experience, began about 5 years ago.  I love keeping up and sharing what I learn through education, design team work, publications, demo’s and retail.  My style of design is vibrant and rich with the use of multiple mediums, embellishing with ribbons and layering with die cuts complete my creations.  Although, simple tags, cards, bookmarks, place settings and other more simple projects are high on my list as well.  They allow me to be creative more quickly with almost immediate gratification!    

My signature projects are shaped cards because they allow me to use and expand my paper crafting techniques with my imagination as the only limitation.   While working with dies, shaped cards (with thin edges) and altering items, I need to extensively research papers to find the best weight, design, colors and styles that will best compliment my work. 

I am the blessed owner of Shape EZ by TLC ~ an SVG cut template company sold in my Etsy Store.  I have ventured into designing dies for several companies and am a member of the Little Darlings Rubber Stamps team and now the Treasured Times team as well!

You can visit Tammy's Blog here.

You can also visit her Etsy store here. 

Thank you Tammy for joining our team! We are so excited to be working with you!

Thanks for stopping by today and visiting us!
