A Naturals Evolution w/ Tim Holtz Ranger Ink

 

11209_10151351117467462_1298208979_n

 

Our design team is thrilled to spend the next two weeks showcasing our Naturals collection and Clear Stamps with Tim Holtz inks, stains and paint from Ranger Ink. We'd love to show you another side to Little Yellow Bicycle and inspire you to add some Naturals to your lives.

 

And we have some PRIZE opportunities, so be sure to read the fine print at the end, but first...

 

We asked our design team to come up with some simple and clever ways to include our Naturals and Stamps into their everyday lives and we are PRETTY excited about what they came up with...

 

Parker at 9 Months 123
Stamped Onesie and Naturals Headband by Jen Chesnick

 

Could Jen's daughter be any more adorable modeling her custom made onesie and headband?  We think not...  Jen used our brand new clear stamps to add the sentiment to the plain old onesie and voilå, look at the delight on the little model.

_MG_0495Onesie Tip: When stamping on fabric be sure to stamp on a firm surface and place a piece of chipboard or old book (like me!) in between your layers just in case the ink bleeds through the cloth.  Archival ink did not bleed or smear when stamped on fabric.  That is impressive stuff!

_MG_0496

Update: Jen said, "I washed the onesie ... no bleeding ... no fading - BOOM!!!"

 

 

_MG_0489Headband:  The naturals collection is made to be layered and easily un-layered.  To use paint, stain and the like they are easy to peel apart and then piece back together again when dry.

LYB Products:

NA-BF20 Layered Burlap Flowers - Mum

NA-BS90 Burlap Stickers - Flowers & Leaves
NA-WB10 Wood Buttons - Printed
CSS-103 Cling Word Stamps - Friends
CSS-106 Cling Word Stamps - My Happiness

Ranger Products:
Distress stain, Worn Lipstick & Antique Linen
Archival Ink in Jet Black
Glossy Accents

 

We hope you want to run out to your LSS, Michaels or Hobby Lobby to pick up some Naturals, Stamps and Ink so you can make a custom onesie for someone special.  We thought this idea from Jen was not only inspired, but a potential side business. Did you know the font on our Clear Stamps and Stickers is exclusive to LYB?

 

No stores nearby?  Buy all the goodies directly from us at our online store.

 

Prizes: We are going to giveaway 2 big boxes of our Naturals on each Friday of the next two weeks (March 8th and 15th).  Just leave a comment here on the blog and/or on our facebook (maybe do both just to be safe) to enter to win. Leave a comment each day and increase your chances. 

 

AND we are giving away a set of stamps each day on each of our social sites: Blog, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.  Leave a comment at each of those sites each day and increase your chances to win some of our amazing stamps.

 

Also, our friends at Ranger Ink just need a few more likes on their facebook page to meet their 10,000 fan milestone.  Stop by and like them today and they may be celebrating soon with goodies for fans.  Let's help them get there!
