Some new ztampfabulous goodies to use your precious coupon code for:

Have a ztampfabulous weekend :)

When my step-daughters were here recently we spent sometimes together making stuff in my studio with my stash of ribbons and scrap fabrics. Phoebe wanted to be a forest fairy so I helped her making somekind of bracelet with swirly ribbon strands. Bene was down with flu, so I made her a Gothic mask. I found a couple of old, full-face plastic masks that my mother got me ages ago. I knew I could make something out of them and the moment finally came. I decided to trim away the lower half of one of them full-face masks and painted it with matt black acrylic paint. Then I sew a piece of slightly ruffled ribbon on the top edges. It was a very pretty ribbon, black organza with silver beading work. I fashioned a rose from a piece of black satin ribbon and tucked a couple of long strands of the same ribbon behind it – then sew everything onto the painted mask, on the left corner. Finally I painted some subtle swirly motif around the eye holes with dark silver acrylic paint and it’s done! Bene loved it and it looked so good on her too! Too bad we didn’t take any photograph either of the mask on its own or with Bene wearing it! I plan to make another one with remaining full-face mask – when I did, I will make sure to take some photos to share with you all!

So anyway… it has inspired me to create a mask kit of my own designs for Ztampf! And here it is… the Masqueradia Print’n Cut Kit:

And thanks to Photobooth, I was able to quickly take some snapshots of me wearing them:

Masqueradia Print'N Cut Mask Templates Set

There are 6 shapes: each was designed to be easy enough to trim with scissors. 6 ready-to-print designs are provided; one for each shape so each member of the family would find one to suit them! The blank shape templates are also provided so you can design your very own using your own existing stash of papers and elements. You can decorate them further with actual sequins and ribbons if you want too!

This set is available now here at Ztampf!Shop. And for you Ztampfilicious readers, use this coupon code ztampfiliciousmasqueradia to receive 25% OFF Discount when you purchase the Masqueradia Print’N Cut Set. Good for one use per person through Tuesday, Oct. 21th 2008. I hope you’ll like it!

And don’t forget to benefit from the coupon code in the Ztampfever #38 newsletter for the Ghostown Package Saving either! It’s good through this Sunday, Oct. 19 2008 only!

More posts coming up!

First of all, some of you might have noticed that the site has often inaccessible in the past several days. It’s coming on and off without warning. Well, this is because our web host is upgrading their server and been migrating some accounts with Ztampf!’s being one of them to a more powerful server. So please have patience, and try again after a little bit if you found the site inaccessible. When the migration is completed, the site should be up and running normally at an even faster loading time :).

Now, due to this issue, I have decided to extend the deadlines for the RoboKit Challenge. The New Deadlines are:

• Posting Entries – through Thursday, Aug. 14th 2008
• Posting Votes – through Monday, Aug. 18th 2008

Winners will be announced on Thursday, Aug. 21st 2008 instead of the 15th as originally scheduled.

So have fun creating your Robots and I really look forward to see your creative entries gracing the Ztampfest Gallery :).

Thanks and enjoy!

Yeah! And it’s created using my latest series called the RoboKit. I’m really excited about this new kit because I’ve been releasing very feminine stuff recently and this one is for the boys! Well, and for their mothers, sisters and girl-friends too :).

The RoboKit is inspired by my all time favorite movies like “Delicatessen” and “The City of Lost Children” by Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Marc Caro (who also made the popular “Amélie”). I saw these movies ages ago but the inspiration remains. And then a few months ago I watched a teaser for “Wall-E” and I really liked the colors and feel of the movie as well. I haven’t seen the new trailer nor the movie, but what little I glimpsed then has prompted an idea to create a kit with a robot-related theme. While there is no actual robot element in the RoboKit, you will find plenty of things that would make up a robot in it :).

Let me tell you that the preview images just don’t do justice to the rich details and variety of the papers and elements in the kit. I’ve used some of the QuickPages to create layouts and uploaded them as additional preview images – so you will get to see more of the details this way :). Anyway, I really hope you all will like the kit as much as I do (or close enough! haha!). Actually, I like it so much I’m considering to create an Add-On Pack for it already! In any case, please do let me know how do you like it, ok! Thanks!!!

Of course… a RoboKit Package Saving is also available which will give you a $3.00 saving! You could have a double saving – at $6.00 saving total if you have the ztampfilicious coupon code given in the Ztampfever #35 ;). Have you subscribed yet? It’s not too late to enjoy the benefit as I will re-queue the newsletter a few times today and tomorrow. Subscribe here.

Oh and here are the layouts I mentioned above:

If you like the last layout above, you can download the QuickPage for free at the Samplers and Gifts Section at Ztampf!Shop. Just click the layout above to get there :).

Well, that’s it for now… Enjoy :)

These days I’ve been spending more time on Facebook than I used to be. I reconnected with so many old school friends through it and I discovered some new friends through which I got introduced to new music that became my favorite – among other interesting things.

Now, did you know that fans of Ztampf! can join Ztampf! Digital Artistry on Facebook to discuss all things ztampfilicious; post comments, requests, suggestions, questions, projects, or share Ztampf! Previews and get surprise coupons, etc. I see a lot of fun potentials on these. But I need your participation to make it more so! Just click here to join us and enjoy the benefits :).

Oh and if want to add me to your Facebook friends, click here for my profile page.

Thanks and hope to see bunches of you there ;).
