Posted by Tiffany at 11:19 AM on Monday, March 28, 2011

Starting on Friday get your hunting hats on! You will get to go on an Egg Hunt through the whole Tiffany Doodles store! There will be 4 eggs hidden somewhere on the site! It's up to you to find all 4 and then email me their locations! Your name will then be added to an Easter basket for a Grand Prize drawing!! Find out Friday what the prize will be!!

Also, just wanted to tell you.... Firefox 4 came out yesterday! If you want the most awesome web experience available - please download it today! It has a whole new look and tons of incredibly useful tools!! I love Firefox and highly recommend it for it's speed, stability and total awesomeness. Not to mention, it adheres to the HTML5 & CSS3 rules, which means that ALL websites look better on Firefox! Being a web designer, it is important to me that you see the sites I build in the way I intended them to be seen! (I'm not affiliated, I just LOVE it!)

1 Strawberry Hearts Notebook Tutorial

Posted by Tiffany at 8:00 AM on Friday, March 25, 2011

MEL! What more can I say! A little tidbit you should know, if it weren't for Mel there would be no Tiffany Doodles! One day, (pushing 2 years ago now), I was searching for something on the internet and don't even remember what it was, and it had nothing to do with stamping or paper b/c I didn't "do" any of that then!! But somehow I landed on Mel's site. I was in total amazement at the paper crafting she did. I wanted to do it! I was hooked from that moment on! My upstairs loft/TV room started evolving into a crafting room with sparkly goodness, ribbon, markers, paper cutters, ink pads, and craft supplies from one wall to the other! And after discovering that I could turn my own drawings into digital stamps.... Tiffany Doodles was born!! All b/c of MEL!! =) So, today I am proud to show you this fancy little project that (my paper crafting idol) has made with my Digi Stamp set, Strawberry Hearts!

Please visit Mel's Blog to see how she made this beautiful notebook! What a great gift this would make for Mother's Day!! Oh, and if you are a Tiffany Doodles fan and enjoy my digis! Be sure to "Thank Mel!!"

Make your own fancy notebook! Get the Strawberry Hearts Digi stamp here!

By the way, this digital stamp set also has a matching Strawberry Hearts Digital Papers!

0 New Addition to the TD family!

Posted by Tiffany at 8:05 AM on Thursday, March 24, 2011

I am so pleased to share with you today the newest addition to the Tiffany Doodles family, Anne Ray! Anne will be joining us in a leadership role to help take Tiffany Doodles to the next level in the Digital Stamp world!! She brings lots of talent and organization skills with her and I look forward to working together on lots of new projects and ideas! So, please join my Design Team and myself to welcome Anne to Tiffany Doodles! Here is a little info on Anne....

StarGroves

I’m Anne Ray, I live in the village of Lambourn, in the UK, also known as the Valley of the Racehorse, population around 2,000 horses and 4,000 people! I’m married to the long-suffering Geoff, have two teenage sons, 2 horses, a rescue terrier and a rescue greyhound. My blog is called Stargroves, my user name from the first online forum I ever joined, which is for Rolling Stones fans (Stargroves is a house not far from where I live where some of their best albums were recorded in the early 70s). Yes, I am a bit of an anorak about all kinds of Stones triviaJ.

I’ve dabbled in lots of crafts over the years, with my main interest, until recently, being quilting. Then I went to a craft show and, literally, took a wrong turn and ended up in the papercrafts hall not the sewing hall. I picked up some lovely silhouette rubber stamps, which fitted into a tiny bag and cost an awful lots more than I expected and that was it – I was hooked! I now feel I’ve regressed slightly to childhood, I’m enjoying building up my Copic collection and colouring in images! The rise of digi stamps is something I’m so pleased about, I love the chance to mirror image, to resize and combine, plus they free up storage space in the craft room! My favourite techniques are dry embossing and inking, colouring, stitching, the fun part is that there is always a new technique or card shape out there to try. I’m really looking forward to working with Tiffany’s images, I love her photo realistic work which is so much easier to colour than I ever imagined.

0 Japanese Magnolia

Posted by Tiffany at 8:00 AM on Wednesday, March 23, 2011

I'm so happy to introduce to you my first in a series of digi stamps! This new series is called Granny's Yard and there will be several more spring flowers to follow this beautiful Japanese Magnolia! I'm also very excited to offer you my first ever Pre-Colored version of a digital stamp! With the sneak peak you saw 2 beautiful cards from Kim and Pattie! Here are a couple more samples for you created by Donna and Willemien!

Here is Happy Birthday card Donna created on the go with the pre-colored digis!

Willemien got really creative with the pre-colored version of the Japanese Magnolias and created this coffee cup cozie! I hope you like this b/c the coffee cup template will be available in the store very soon!!

Normally, I offer a sale on my new releases however, this time, I thought instead of reducing the price, I would donate 100% of sales from the Pre-Colored version to the Red Cross to help in relief efforts for Japan.

0 Japanese Magnolia - Sneak Peak

Posted by Tiffany at 6:27 PM on Sunday, March 20, 2011

   This new Japanese Magnolia Digital Stamp Set will include 5 new images! And a brand new feature I will offer on select stamps sets are new Pre-Colored versions! You'll be able to see them in 2 days! This stamp set will be available in the store on Wed, March 23, 2011. Also, instead of putting this item on sale like I usually do with new releases I have decided that if you buy the brand new colored version, I will donate 100% of those sales to the Red Cross to help in relief efforts for Japan.
   This Japanese Magnolia set is the first in a new series I will be releasing over the next couple of weeks. This new series is called "Granny's Yard". I named it this because that is where all the photos came from which have inspired these new sets of Digital Stamps you will see! For instance, this Japanese Magnolia tree (or tulip tree as many southerners call it) sits in a tight spot between the pump house and the well in Granny's yard. She has said many times that she wishes they had planted it in another spot so many years ago, somewhere where it could be better seen. It has been so pretty this spring!
   I have another piece of exciting news to share with you and that is - coming VERY soon, I will be offering a few of my artistic photography prints for sale in the store! The photo prints I plan to share with you are what inspire the digital stamps that I draw! As you can see in the image above, from photo to digital stamp! They will all have an artistic flare and will be available in many standard sizes such as 5x7, 8x10, & 11x14. You can choose to have them professionally mounted or even choose to buy them as Gallery Wraps, which are very impressive pieces of work!! Much more info will be coming soon on my Photo Prints!

Pattie used the traditional digi stamps set and colored the flowers beautifully herself!

Kim was running short on time and used the pre-colored version! What a great way to save a bit of time and still create a beautifully handmade card!

Thank you for checking out this sneak peak for the new Japanese Magnolia Digital Stamp set! It will be available in the store on Wednesday, March 23, 2011!
