MIXED UP COLLECTION AND NEW ESSENTIALS

The excitement is so real! Today was supposed to be the release date of the whole new collection, but unfortunately, once again international transport has been delayed. My *dreamteam* (the promotion team behind ART BY MARLENE) can't wait to start posting their gorgeous projects. I asked them to wait until the release date, before posting full projects, as y'all do not have the collection in house yet.

But, I *hope* that it will arrive no later than the 7th of October. Please keep an eye on my social media, where I will post as soon as I know more.

The new Mixed up collection will make it's reveal and the gorgeous new essentials.

Let me show you a few highlights from the gorgeous Mixed up collection.

Like this gorgeous new Slimline double layer paper pack, a brand new item that will hopefully make slimline card making super fun and easy. (The slimline paper pack is missing on the sheet overview above, the order code is: ABM-MUC-PP62

What do you think about these stencil trio's?

There are 3 different sets:

Playful frames, Basic borders and Artsy designs.

The exciting thing about these are they fit the slimline cards exactly and makes creating super fun and easy.

There are so many exciting products, but one that will definitely catch a lot of attention is the Ini -mini Zig-zag cutting die.This is such a cute magical set for memory making. The outer edge of the cutting die measures 29cm x 12cm.

Of course I have some gorgeous normal size (20 x 20cm) stencils in this release that is perfect for mixed media canvasses and journaling. All of the stencils in the ART BY MARLENE collection are Made in the EU.

When designing a new collection I always try to create something that will fit in with past releases. Surely with stamp themes, I try to make it possible (to the best of my ability) to combine my stamps. For example: these mushrooms will combine very well with the quirky birds or chicken wire stamps/dies from the Back to nature collection.

I can't show you all product samples in one e-mail, although it is tempting, but I do like to give you an idea of the look and feel of a range.

I want to also show you a few new items in my Essential/Christmas release:

I am going to start with introducing the fabulous new Special Effect paint and glamour glitter set. This spectacular set is a great new addition to my essential range.

This set includes 2 metallic acrylic paints & 4 glamour glitters, these can best be compared to a glitter gel.

The glitter gel becomes transparent when dry, when wet, the binding component is still milky.

(TIP: all paints and glues should be stored *nib* down)

All of the ART BY MARLENE paints, glitters and glue are produced in the EU and all (environment friendly)raw materials are sourced from European suppliers. The factory has collaborated with their trusted European suppliers for over 20 years. Important to know is that the factory pride themselves on a sustainable production, not only in terms of products, but also in terms of employees and local community.

The gold and glitter can be combined with another fabulous new product....the angel flags with matching stamp sets. These were inspired by wooden angels I use to create many years ago.

So many things to share and so little time. Here is just a couple of extra samples to use as inspiration!!

Maybe it can spark some creativity.

I can't say goodbye without sharing these die-cut paper tag books!

The yellow book is called the FUNNY set

The green one is called the FANTASY set &

The pink one is called the FUNKY set.

I hope to have informed you and to have inspired you...

All ART BY MARLENE products are there to spark happiness and positivity.

May your day be bright and filled with little sparks of happiness.

*Craftiness is Happiness*
