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.

Another introduction for the 100 Proof Press Design Team

The next member of the team I am going to introduce is Gerri Herbst.  Gerri's work is has a touch of nostalgia,  hint of romantic vintage, lots of sparkle, and limitless creativity.  I'm very happy that Gerri is a part of the team and I'm excited to see what stories she tells with 100 Proof Press images.  You should stop by her blog to find what creative treasure  Gerri has created today.  Here is her first piece as a part of the Design Team.

Gerri used the "long tower row" stamp.  Isn't is wonderful how she made a 3-d piece, used buttons, and watercolors to create this piece.  I hear cityscapes are on the rise...

Presenting the next member of our Design Team. . .

The next artist I need to introduce is Tracy Evans.  I have been inspired by her work from The Stamper's Sampler, and I am very excited to have her artistic talent combined with 100 Proof Press images.    I am sure you're going to want to visit her blog to see other stamp-art that Tracy has created.   Here is her first piece for our design team.  I think she had this card in the works before she even received the rubber!

Grow Where you Are Planted

In this piece, Tracy has used only one image to create a layered affect.  The card is beautifully completed with embellishments to add even more dimension.  She also made a co-ordinating gift bag to go with the card.  I can't wait to see share what Tracy stamps up next.

It's time I introduce one of the members of the first ever 100 Proof Press Design Team.

We got the big, I mean big, order out the door.  It was crazy stamp-making time around 100 Proof Press the past 12 days.  But now we're back to our "regular" way of life.  And I have been wanting to do this post for about week - I am so excited to introduce  the first member of 100 Proof Press's design team! Many of you are familiar with her energetic work, and she might even be how you found our blog. . . Now presenting, Jennifer Ingle and her Thimble Fairy!

Tiny Thimble Fairy by Jennifer Ingle

Jennifer showed some creativity and imagination when she came up with this cutie.  She used image #1931, the waving doll.  If you would like more details about the creation of this little fairy, visit Jennifer's blog, Just Jingle.  I look forward to sharing more of Jennifer's projects with you & introducing the other four members of the Design Team.
