Adventouriste = Adventure + Tourist + Artiste.
Adventure: an exciting or remarkable experience, an undertaking usually involving danger and unknown risks.
Tourist: one that makes a tour for pleasure or culture.
Artiste: an artistic or creative person.

It all started out with wings. I wanted to create an accents pack filled with various kinds of wings. I have always loved wings. Some people said I am obsessed with wings. They could be right. After all, I did created many wings for my many art projects, started with ‘flight‘ and continued on to my latest, the ‘Dream Archives Projects’. The wings got me thinking about time and so I created the ‘Pieces Of Time’. Then I thought why not creating some papers to go with them? Next it got me thinking about steampunk – which I have always had an affinity with, and then I was thinking about travels too as I’m going on a 6-week trip very soon – and finally, about adventure! To close down Ztampf!Shop and go totally exclusive at SBG is definitely a new adventure to me! So, it is more than appropriate that this Adventouriste Collection should be debuting at Studio Ztampf! along with my exclusive debut at SBG.

And let me tell you that I am truly excited about this massive Collection! It has taken me countless intensive hours to complete it. I honestly think this is a truly ztampfilicious collection! It is super versatile for various projects, filled with scrumptiously unique elements you won’t find anywhere else which you will find yourself reaching for – time and again.

The Adventouriste Collection – Package Saving is now available at Studio Ztampf!. Individual packs from the collection will be released over the next following days. Save a huge $40.65 when you purchase the Adventouriste Collection – Package Saving. Remember that you can also use the special coupon given in the Part 1 of Ztampfever No.53 to get this ztampfabulous Adventouriste Collection to get an ever bigger saving if you wish!

Here are a few layouts done by the fabulous Z!Girls with the Adventouriste Collection – more will be posted in the next following days in Ztampfilicious Blog:

Life is A Constant Change…

Yes, changes are afoot and a major one is coming soon at Ztampf!Shop…
But, before we go into details on that, let’s see what’s new there, shall we?

If you like the Tressa ARTiStrokes, you might like the brand new Tressa2 ARTiStrokes:

The Antique Gold and Rainbow versions here are lighter and slightly brighter than in Tressa ARTiStrokes. Tressa2 ARTiStrokes sure is a wonderful addition to your elegant flourishes and swirls collection!

Now let’s get to the changes mentioned above!
As of Monday, March 1^st 2010 onwards, Ztampf! products will be exclusively available only from Studio Ztampf! at ScrapbookGraphics here: http://tinyurl.com/StudioZtampf. You might want to bookmark this link now. Use coupon code ZtampfWelcomeU to receive 30% Off Discount for your first Ztampf! purchase at Studio Ztampf! there.

You will still be able to access your account and download your previous purchases at Ztampf!Shop and also to continue browsing there. But, as of March 1^st 2010, Ztampf! products will only be available for purchase at Studio Ztampf!. Ztampf!Shop will serve more like a ‘showroom’ or a product catalog where you can see the products but in order to purchase them, you will have to go to the shop – which is Studio Ztampf!. Although you might still be able to add products into your cart at Ztampf!Shop after February 28^th 2010, you won’t be able to checkout any new orders because all the products would have been set to “For Display Purpose Only” (except for the ‘Samplers & Gifts’ category). So, from March 1^st 2010 onwards, just visit Studio Ztampf! to get your usual dose of ztampfiliciousness!

And how about the new collection that I mentioned last time? Well, this newsletter is done with just a few bits and pieces from it and now I can tell you the name! It is called “Adventouriste Collection” : Adventure + Tourist + Artiste! So Jenna has guessed the word ‘Adventure’ right! Congrats! She will get to get the collection at 50% OFF when the collection is debuting at Studio Ztampf! on March 1^st 2010! Watch out for the Part 2 of Ztampfever #53 next weekend when the “Adventouriste Collection” will be unveiled with a little give away for all of you. Don’t miss it!

It’s been quite a while since the last time we talked about the Z!Girls! There are two active Z!Girls at the moment, they are both very talented scrappers and such nice persons too: Tracy and Lynn. Let’s get to know them closer through a series of interviews starting this Tuesday, Feb. 23^rd 2010 at Ztampfilicious Blog. You can take a look at Z!Girls Gallery now for some inspirations!

Oh and I do have a coupon for you to use at Ztampf!Shop for the last time!
This 20% OFF Discount coupon: ZtampfThxU100220krc is good for any downloadables at Ztampf!Shop except for Gift Certificates and Licenses. It is valid through Sunday, February 28^th 2010.
Make good use of it!

The Tiger is Rising!

Unleash the Year of the Tiger 2010 with the brand new Tiger Rising Series…
Just in time for the Lunar New Year which this year will fall on February 14th (yup, exactly on Valentine’s Day!), I have created this rich and intense Tiger Rising Series, consisting of Tiger Rising Kit, Tiger Rising Ensembles and Tiger Rising QuickPage Album. Get all three of these in the Tiger Rising Package Saving and you will automatically save $4.00!

Those of you celebrating the Lunar New Year will love these sets to create unique, personalized Chinese New Year Greeting Cards and Hong Bao (Red Pockets/Lai See) created mostly with the Tiger Rising Kit:

And I do have a coupon for you too! This 20% OFF Discount coupon: z5210013020 is good for any downloadables at Ztampf!Shop and Studio Ztampf!, valid through Wednesday, February 3rd 2010.
Go ahead and make good use of it!

In case you’re wondering about the brand new series in the work that I mentioned last time, no, it’s not finished yet! It’s evolving into this big collection, you see! What is it, you asked. Some hints: the name of this collection is a made-up word – mashed up from 3 words. It starts with an ‘A’. The collection has something to do with travel and it has a lot of wings in it!

Now, the first person who could guess at least two words (from the three mashed up words) will receive the entire collection for free! And the first three persons who could guess just one word, will receive the collection at 50% OFF (and remember, the collection itself as Package Saving is already at a discounted pricing!). Just type in your guesses under ‘Leave a Reply’ in this entry before midnight of Feb. 7th 2010 US Eastern Time (so, you have the chance to post your guess up to 11:59 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 6th).
Have fun guessing!
