Slug bug…no slugs back!

Remember all the Summer trips across the country looking for “bugs”?! haha  Our parents were goin’ nuts trying to keep everyone from fighting!  “She touched me!”  Oh those were the days… I loved laying in the back of the station wagon on my back reading though.  The miles sure went faster with a book in my hands!

More FABULOUS stamps for Summer from Printworks Collection… here’s the pdf files for these new images HERE and HERE.   Super FUN for all occasions!  The banner ribbon is from an old PW stamp that is a bow border!  I couldn’t find it in the online store but you can sure ask Nicole about it via email or the phone.  Background Polka Dot Wave border G2299 is HERE in rubber.  All PW stamps are available as wood mounted or cling mounted now!!! yea!  I used a PW alphabet set called Chalkboard. The pattern papers I used are also from PW… 12×12.  The image is stamped on watercolor paper and colored with Printworks dye stamp pads… Squish the pad while it’s closed to get ink on the inside of the lid, then pick up the color with your brush and paint away!  Beautiful colors!  Stamp pad colors I used to paint the images… Citrus Green, Emerald Green, Robin’s Egg Blue, Granite Gray, Sunflower and Tangerine.  They are in the Printworks online store, HERE.

Nicole says they are working on getting a new online store set up!  Can’t wait!  In the meantime,  email or call Nicole with your orders!  PrintworksCollection@yahoo.com or Toll Free:  (800) 854-6558

Thanks for sharing my nostalgic trip down memory lane!  Have a great week!

P.S.  The latest Magnolia Ink Magazine, Chocolate Dreams is in the store HERE…  Best price I’ve seen anywhere!   $9.30 and free shipping with a $40 order!!!

enjoy the ride__❤

 

How’s the ride?  Super fun new stamps from Printworks… remember the VW Bus!  Images are all stamped on watercolor paper and colored with Printworks dye stamp pads… Squish the pad while it’s closed to get ink on the inside of the lid, then pick up the color with your brush and paint away!  Beautiful colors!

It’s so hot and humid here in Iowa that I’m sure everyone is wishing they could be visiting the ocean…especially the kids heading back to school!

Stamp pad colors I used to paint the images… Citrus Green, Emerald Green, Robin’s Egg Blue, Oak Brown, Granite Gray, Sunflower, Tangerine, Raspberry Pink and Peony Pink.  They are in the Printworks online store, HERE.

Summer Release stamps I used are G4120 VW Bus and D4121 Enjoy the Ride.

Surfboard and Hang Ten are from last year’s Summer Release,  HERE.

Flower is C2687 – Hibiscus in the store, HERE.

The fun blue and white stripe paper is from Printworks too!  I don’t see it in the store but most of these stamps aren’t in the store yet.  Nicole says they are working on getting a new online store set up!  Can’t wait!  In the meantime,  email or call Nicole with your orders!  PrintworksCollection@yahoo.com or Toll Free:  (800) 854-6558

awww… I goofed… I thought the palm tree was from Printworks but I just looked at the stamp and it’s from Art Gone Wild! J1-2197

Have a great Thursday!  Thanks for stopping by!
