A Peek at New Prima!

The Floret Collection

So, you'd like to know what is new with Prima Flowers? We've got answers!

We expect to receive a huge order of new Prima within this next week (February 21 -25). Below are a few examples from the collections that we will have!

The Gatsby Collection:

The Dechire Collection:

The De Soie Collection:

The Fitzgerald Collection:

The Flower Sculpture Collection:

The Heart Desire Collection:

The Trinket Collection:

I think flowers are fun because they are a reminder of Spring (when my birthday is)! I always feel more energized in Spring - the weather is temperate, the sun is out, and the trees & flowers look stunning!

Some ideas of what to do with flowers:

-Obviously: add to embellish any card for some floral beauty

-Use for something more abstract like hair, eyes, mouth, etc. on a creation

-Chain them together with Flower Soft Wire to make a custom ribbon for a tag or gift

-Create a centerpiece for each holiday & season

-Decorate an Easter Basket!

-Attach to a wreath for something cheery on your door

-Use a lot of one flower color to spell something out or make a design and fill in the rest with a contrasting color (maybe something simple like "Hi" or a heart)

-Buy a Configurations box and add flowers

-Make a mobile for someone having a baby (just make sure to sew on to the ribbon well!)

-Use with other embellishments like gems, faux snow, butterflies, & brads for a custom design

-Distress with Tim Holtz Distress Inks or Stains and an Ink Blending Tool

-Add Stickles

-Add glossy accents to make them shine or add UTEE clear & mold them into different shapes

**Blog Candy Opportunity!!!*** Post a comment about something creative you can make using Prima Flowers and you may be the lucky winner of a surprise blog candy stamp set that you can't buy in any store!

Have a flowery week!

Tim Holtz Ranger 2011 DISTRESS INK STAINS ARE IN STOCK!

**UPDATE!!** UPDATE!**

The NEW Tim Holtz Distress stains are in stock! We are filling preorders and have a limited supply to fill YOUR ORDER NOW!

THESE are one of the hottest products for 2011! You're gonna love these ;)

Sold in individual colors or a value pack!

More about Distress Stains:

Distress Stains are fluid water-based dyes for papers and other porous surfaces. Use for quick and easy ink coverage for backgrounds and larger areas. Mist with water to lighten color and create mottled effects. Apply layers of stain to achieve more saturated color.

The brushed nylon dabber top has a built-in spring valve. This allows for controlling the release of Distress Stains from the bottle. By pressing the dabber top down onto surface, the valve opens and fluid releases. Lift dabber away from surface to stop fluid flow. Spread Distress Stains by swiping the dabber top lightly as a brush across the surface.

Note: If Distress Stain project will be used outdoors, first seal with a weatherproof sealer.

*Acid free, non-toxic
*Fade-resistant dyes
*Dabber top with spring valve control
*Available in 1 fluid ounce bottles

Quote from www.TimHoltz.typepad.com:
use for quick and easy ink coverage for backgrounds and larger areas like tags, canvas, idea-ology trimmings, and of course the new kraft resist papers. mist with water to lighten color and create mottled effects or apply layers of stain to achieve more saturated color. the tip is a fabric covered dabber top with a built-in spring valve (like a stamp cleaner bottle). this allows for controlling the release of distress stains right from the bottle simply by pressing down onto surface. the valve opens and stain releases, then just lift away to stop the flow, or swipe lightly across the surface to spread out the stain. the distress stains coordinate the all of the other distress products including the embossing powders, crackle paint, stickles, and most importantly distress ink pads. i just love this new way to distress larger areas, fabrics, grunge, trimmings, wood and more in a matter of seconds. can you tell i'm out of control excited for these?....aghh!...t!m

HUGS!
