I have always loved 7 Gypsies products and I am really blessed to have been designing for them for a few years now. They really stay true to their aesthetic and they are a wonderful company with good people and great products. If you've ever been to a CHA tradeshow and experienced their tradeshow booth, it's a feast for the eyes. They are masters of display, and they are the Anthropologie of the papercrafts industry, with such cool, quirky and original displays. Janelle, Debbie and Paula are the minds behind the magic. While 7 Gypsies wasn't at CHA this past July, I recall from prior tradeshows how amazing their booths always were. You may be able to find photos on the internet and on You Tube by searching 7 Gypsies. Here's a great video that shows the thought that goes into setting up the booth behind the scenes.
I created these vintage style cards for 7 Gypsies' 2011 Summer Release last month. The first, second and fourth cards all feature new rub-ons from 7 Gypsies. The first card features the new Apothecary Rubbings, which I used to create this valentine/love card. The little apothecary dome is also from the new 7 Gypsies release.
The second card features the stunning Butterflies Rubbings and yes, the color is every bit as vivid as you see in the photo. The rubbings were so lovely I had to use them en masse on one card for maximum effect.
The third card gives you a peek at some of the new patterned paper from 7 Gypsies. I don't see it on the website yet but there are a series of map themed papers which are lovely!
The last card features the Mini Ephemera Rubbings. I used my Banner Builder Die Collection and Double Ended Banner Die from Papertrey Ink to create the little vintage banner.
