Oui, Oui.

While I've been busy making the stamps, the wondering DT for 100 Proof Press has been pressing out some beautiful creations.  Here is a card from Gladys Chia.  It's a beautiful card that features the 100 Proof Press's tour d'eiffel.  It's so dreamy....

Hot hot, so hot!

I hope everyone is keeping cool - and taking a break in the AC to stamp up some art.  Right now in the shop we are getting ready for another show! This show will be in mid August in Cincinnati, OHIO.  We have lots of tubs of rubber to fill before we pack up.  And have to make some new envelopes because a new images are going with us!   Here's a fun little summer time card from one of our design team members, Jennifer.  She used the 100 Proof Press crab 4606.

Hand-Stamped Knobs

I recently had a customer share her work and Etsy site with me.  I love to see how artists use 100 Proof Press stamps.  These knobs are a great way to show your creative side with a piece of everyday furniture.

Yeah! The New Images are Up.

I am very excited to announce that the first batch of images that I made start to finish are up on the site!  There is just a handful, but they are summery and fun.  If you go to the shop on the site, you can find the new images on the first few pages.

I would also like to let you know, that the 100 Proof Press "PRESS IT OUT" contest entries are due in at the end of this month.  If you have a stamped-up creation that you've used 100 Proof Press images in, get it in the mail! I have some very exciting entries so far and I would love to see more.  Stamp it up and send it in!

Summertime Images!

I have been working on new images for quite sometime now, waiting for a window of time where I can carry out the whole process editing images,  plating, making mats, running rubber, testing and indexing the new images, and then getting them ready for the web.  I am almost there on this group of summertime images.  I have a few more things to do and then they'll be ready, all of these passed the cut.

Sneak Peek - They will be up on the site soon!

The final member of our first ever design team...

I would now like to introduce the fifth member of 100 Proof Press's first ever design team, and that is artsy-crafty merchant, Alexa Lett.  I'm very happy to have Alexa as part of our creative team.  Her work is very organic, and as I was packing up her first set of stamps, I was very curious  as to how she was going to turn them into clever pieces of art.  Looks like it all came together as a mixed-media collage.

Alexa's First Piece for the DT

Please hop on over to her blog and "sit a spell" to see more of her work, and get some close up shots of the details.

Here comes the fourth member of the Design Team...

Gladys Chia, is the fourth member of the 100 Proof Press design team.  Her work is completed with great attention to detail.  If you visit her blog, mypapercrafting,  you will find more pieces from her that will bring a smile to your face.  Her cards are very playful and happy.  And here is the first piece she created for 100 Proof Press, using none other than... "The Handsome Hares."

"dad" by Gladys Chia

It's vintage, black and white, perfectly stamped, and a wonderful design for a Father's Day card.  You can visit her blog for more insight on how she created the card.
