{Studio 64} & “Birthday Bash Challenge”
This is a very exciting day for me here in my own little corner of the world. Something that I have been working on for over a year now, and something that has grown into a deep passion. Today is the day I open up my own stamp line through Papertrey Ink, {Studio 64}! It all started out of curiosity really. The curiosity grew as my imagination grew, and finally I simply couldn’t resist it anymore. I had to design stamps. Thousands of ideas, hours of work, even more hours of self-editing, and then I was left with these tiny things that I was deeply proud of. These little images that danced on the page. These little images that could capture so many feelings! These little images were…MINE! It captured my sweat and tears, my heart, my joy and MY ART! It captured ME! So much so, I would find myself working and thinking an hour went by when it was really eight… or nine… or ten! These stamps that reflected whimsy, elegance, and a defined sense of playful modernity… THIS IS {Studio64}!!!!!!
The Name: {Studio 64} is named from the fact that between my design studio and my vocal studio, THIS is where I spend most of my existance. My passion. My life. The 64 is from the 64th note or “hemidemisemiquaver.” A merge befitting of a blog and a stamp line.
The Decision: As Nichole mentioned yesterday, I have chosen not to renew my contract this year in my senior design team duties with Papertrey. Though you will still see my projects on the Click Simple team, my goal is to focus my energy on my new stamp line, and take it to staggering heights! This has become a serious passion, and I intend to have it capture YOU as much as it has captured ME! SO much so, that I am featuring an INCREDIBLE freebie for you today!
Now this free downloadable PDF digital stamp is for YOU from ME! If you make a card from this stamp, or any of the Papertrey Ink stamp designers, you will be entered to win $159.00 worth of stamps chosen by Nichole. Please see below for the full details, but first, my stamp, and THEN, my projects with it!
DOWNLOAD THIS PDF IMAGE HERE: Birthday Balloon -Studio 64
This sweet set of images leaves you so happy! Perfectly suited for a birthday!
The way the house gently holds the balloon with it’s chimney! Aw!
This sentiment from “Birthday Basics” is a perfect sentiment for Papertrey’s birthday, don’t you think?
Those “puppet like” clouds and sun hanging from a string! Looks positively theatrical!
Oh, my girls wanted a GREEN house! With that quilted hill it has become more of a greenhouse!
“Sugared up” images really show off the whimsy!
and a sentiment from “Everyday Button Bits” was curved on the block to give it a fun shape to match the curved look of the hill!
Add some dashes with my copic multi-liner, and I have a sentiment and a hill with dashes!
Pop dots pump up the charm!
Hope you create like crazy with these, my FIRST images for you!

The stamping world will NEVER be the same now that you’ve started designing (and I mean that in a very good way!) 
You go, girl! 
February 2nd, 2010 at 8:38 am
I am so excited for your new venture Becky! I will sorely miss seeing your contributions to PTI countdowns, but am thrilled with your decision to design stamps! This is adorable! Please, please, please have a music themed set soon! I have been searching for the *perfect* one, and have been sorely disappointed in all I have seen. I know that you can create the perfect one!
February 2nd, 2010 at 8:47 am

You work so hard at what you do and I’m so glad you have found a way to pour your passion into your art. Can’t wait to see what comes next for you…
February 2nd, 2010 at 10:23 am
Becky! Wowzers – if this image is ANY idea of what your stamps sets are going to look like you are going to be my FAVORITE designer! I am ga-ga for this – it reminds me of Dr. Seuss! Can’t wait to see your first set!
February 2nd, 2010 at 10:24 am
How awesome! When I read that designers were each designing something I came straight over here to see what you had come up with! And NOW I read that there’s more to come!? How exciting for us! Congratulations to you (and your future customers- us!)
February 2nd, 2010 at 10:25 am
Becky,
Oh my gosh! I wasn’t prepared for this cuteness or this style. I have my grove of PTI designers that I am partial to and now I am going to have to add one more fabulous must have to the list. Is this going to come out in a set form as well? I sure hope so!!!!!
It’s a good life!

Best of luck to you in your new endeavor but I don’t think you’ll need any luck….AMAZING!!!!!!!!!

February 3rd, 2010 at 11:19 pm
Becky, I tried to email you privately the other night to ask you a question about this image but have not heard back from you so I am trying again here.
First off congratulations on your new endeavor. I have been a big fan of your work for awhile now and look forward to seeing your stamp line.
I also wanted to tell you that I love your Digital image and would like to use it in my work but saw that it said for personal use only. I sell my work in my Etsy shop after I get done making it. Would it be okay for me to do that using this image?
February 3rd, 2010 at 11:50 pm
Becky, I am so happy to still have the opportunity to work with you on the Click Simple team. I CANNOT WAIT
February 3rd, 2010 at 11:51 pm
Ooops…somehow submitted my comment before I was done. Anyway…I wanted to say I cannot wait to see what you’ll be coming up with. I like what I see already; it’s fun, fresh, and something new and exciting for PTI. Way to go!
February 4th, 2010 at 12:08 pm

The cutest and best freebie ever!!! Thank you!!! Question for you……now I can’t remember where I first saw this (which included a bunch of “card addicts” samples of the colors/papers they used with this gift)….any ideas? I know I went to Papertrey Ink’s website and asked them about where to get this, and they led me to your blog; but that’s not where I first saw it. Help…..I’m not a creator (usually)…
I’m a pattern follower!!!
