Glitz Roller Doodles Are Fast And Furious!

One of my most favorite things right now are Glitz Roller Doodle Stamp Wheels. They are so easy to use and store! Just pick them up and go!

They are lightweight, they have an ergonomic handle, and they are so versatile! You don't have to roll them in a straight line - you can even roll around a curve to get a great stamped effect. Besides that, they are hot pink - and who doesn't like hot pink!

The Roller Doodles come in two sizes. The smaller ones have a rubber stamping surface that is 0.5" across. The Giant Roller Doodles have a rubber stamping surface that is 1" across. The gals at Glitz have done a fabulous job and the stamp wheels come in some awesome designs. Roll them here, roll them there, roll them everywhere!

Here are some fantastic scrapbook pages courtesy of the Glitz Website Idea Gallery to inspire you. The Roller Doodles are great for adding layers of detail to any craft project, scrapbook page, card - or even use them on fabric! I just love the color and the feel of everything that Glitz does. They just

make me want to smile:)

If you would like to see all the fast and furious Roller Doodles we have in stock click here. There are so many to choose from, I just can't list them all! ***BLOG CANDY ALERT*** Comment on your favorite Roller Doodle and we will send you one of each of the following to enjoy....

Tim Holtz Demonstrates New Masks!

Masks are here and they are the next biggest trend in paper crafting. They were introduced to the industry last winter by the fabulous Heidi Swapp. This fall, Tim Holtz designed his own line (complete with Heidi Swapp's seal of approval on the back)!

Many have inquired - what are masks and how are they used? Well here is a link to a very informative video hosted by Tim Holtz on the many diverse uses of masks. Click Here to see the video - I guarantee you will learn something!

Masks are reusable stencils that allow you to add a new dimension to any project that you are working on by leaving a "negative space" when removed. The possibilities and techniques are endless. They are made of clear plastic with a repositionable adhesive on the back. You can even wash the mask without compromising the adhesive at all.

Some of the techniques that Tim shows in the video are to ink over them using the Inkssentials Ink Blending Tool , paint over them with Adirondack Paint Dabbers, stamp over them (very cool!), spray color wash or glimmer mist over them using a Mini Mister, and even sand over them with Tim's sanding block to give an awesome embedded effect (very, very cool!).

Since Masks are affordable, durable, and easy to store, it is easy to get addicted to their power. Here are a few of the masks we sell in the store. Be sure to check out the store for the complete line available!

Tim Holtz Borderline Masks

Heidi Swapp Bird Masks

Tim Holtz Timeworks Masks

Heidi Swapp Damask Mask

Tim Holtz Flourish Mask

What's your favorite technique? Which one is your favorite mask? Inquiring minds want to know! Let us know and you will win one of each of the five masks shown above! Wooohooooo! We will pull a random.org winner next week. Check back to see if you are the big WINNER!

~TERRA

And the blog candy winner is....Deb Neerman! Please email us your name and address and we will send you your awesome prizes - One of each of the 5 masks displayed above from the best two mask designers in the world - Heidi Swapp and Tim Holtz! woooohoooo!
