Live From Creativation 2019: The Stamping Village!
Hello crafty friends! We are coming at you LIVE from the Creativation show floor, bringing all the latest excitement, products, trends and more to YOU!
The Stamping Village is a special part of the Creativation 2019 trade show; what is it you may ask? The Stamping Village is a group of stamp vendors surrounding a shared space designed for education, socializing, and relaxing. Check out some of the awesome things we found in this unique part of the show floor!

At the Gina K. Designs booth, we were in LOVE with the NEW Mega Wreath Builder templates and Amalgam inks!

The Hero Arts booth was in a full flight of color! We were loving their sweet, hot air balloons (a new die!), strung across their booth. Each one was die cut with their BRAND NEW line of solid-core cardstocks!
Waffle Flower Crafts
Waffle Flower’s booth was a-buzz over their new watercoloring tool; the Water Media Mat! We got to test this silicone mat out at the show and had so much fun using it with everything from watercolors, acrylics, metallics, mini ink cubes and so much more! Because of it’s non-stick material, any medium cleans off with the swipe of a cloth!
PinkFresh Studio
PinkFresh Studio’s booth was full of creative inspiration using their newest stamps and dies! We were thoroughly inspired by all the samples!
Concord & 9th
Concord and 9th’s new Turnabout Stamp Jig was ALL the buzz this year at the show! And get a look at these STUNNING samples!

Distress Oxide Blending & February 2019 Card Kit!
Hello all! Kristina here with some more inspiration for the February 2019 card kit! I thought some smooth blended color with images from the Love Always stamp set included in the kit would make a great Valentine’s Day (or general love) card!
I started out by ink blending three colors of Distress Oxide Ink: Spun Sugar, Abandoned Coral, and Aged Mahogany. After the ink blending was dry, I stamped the large greeting and heart images in VersaMark ink. White embossing powder was applied, the excess shaken off, and then heat set until melted.
To finish of the main area of the card, I wrapped some of the embroidery floss from the kit around the blended panel, and then adhered it to a card base using foam adhesive.
I hope you enjoy today’s inspiration! You can pick up the February 2019 card kit HERE, or subscribe to receive this kit and future kits HERE.
