Well, I'm back home from HSN and the show went really well! The people there are truly amazing! It was such a pleasurable experience and I loved being hosted by Shivan- what a doll! I had the opportunity to show my Sizzix Textured Impressions Embossing Folders along with my Bigz XL Decorative Edge Card die. While I wasn't able to actually demo the embossing folders going through the Sizzix Big Shot machine, it is so very simple!
And of course, I showed my new stamp collections! , including this one, and this one. For those of you who are new to stamping with clear stamps, the first thing you'll want to do upon opening your package is to use an eraser over the surface. Somehow, this "primes" them for use.
On air, I mentioned that I had designed these stamps to be slightly larger than many of the stamps currently on the market. My vision for the Piccadilly designs included home decor and even sewing projects. Here is a tote bag I created using several different dies from the collection, along with some of my Sizzix embossing folders.
Here's how I used them- place the embossing folder underneath the fabric then lightly add the color on top, using the Faber-Castell Gelatos. It's really fast and gives a nice, distressed look to the project. I used regular pigment ink for the stamped part of the images. I love the patchwork feel of this bag, don't you? I've been really into yellow and orange/reds lately. Must be the optimistic nature of yellow and energy of red/orange. I've needed both lately and it's funny how we crave colors to help us along!
If you tuned in on Monday, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart! It's so nice to hear from people who have bought my products so please don't be shy about leaving a comment- I'd love to hear from you.
Tomorrow, some close-ups of the projects shown on air...

bunny freak, I plan to spray it with a sealer, front and back. I think before washing, it would be wise to do a test on a sample. I've not tried it yet. Let me know how it works, ok?
Thanks for your question.

Did you need to treat the fabric or can it not be washed?
