If you happened to see my Scooby Doo post earlier in the week, you knew I’d be taking the Retro TV Frame one step further. I’m normally team “background wax,” and I stand by it on this one. If it is a mistake, it’s, as Sheryl says, “…my favorite mistake,” lol. Especially since the background wax is kinda ghost-y. Scoob vibes 🦴. So what do you think?! Speaking of, this wax (Vellum) is back in stock!! And Retro TV Frame is new in shop!! You can find them both, and lots of other fun stuff at StrictlyRita.com ✨ #waxseal #sealingwax #waxsealstamp #strictlyrita #mailart #scoobydoo
Remember that afternoon back in August of last year, when I made all of those 2D frame seals using the pour and scrape technique? Well, I finally got the last seal edited, lol. This stamp works especially well with the process, because its oval shape makes it an easy one to cut out ✂️ And good news!! This stamp is coming soon to the shop 🤗!! (Make sure you’re subscribed to our emails, you’ll hear about all of our new releases first hand!!) Until then, you can find frame stamps in  37 different shapes and sizes at StrictlyRita.com ✨ P.S. I found this National parks poster on Pinterest. I sized it down in photoshop and printed it on matte photo paper.  P.S.S. If you need help with the pour and scrape technique, we have 2 new tutorials in my Instagram highlights with lots of tips and tricks ✨ P.S.S.S. The clear wax I’m using is actually crystal clear glue sticks, but they have to be “crystal clear” specifically (we sell them in the shop if you have trouble finding them). They take a lot longer to melt than normal wax. You can also use a glue gun with the clear wax. And, the thinner the wax is pressed, the clearer it is. One more thing: make sure your stamp head is cold when using the clear wax. If you’re making lots of seals with the same stamp, use an ice pack to cool it down between presses.  #waxseal #sealingwax #waxsealstamp #strictlyrita #mailart
Everything is content, everything is content 🎵, lol. Yesterday was my daughter’s birthday, and one of her gifts was a Costco membership 💳 I started making a seal, and I’m like, wait!! Everything is content!! Unfortunately it was dark outside so you’re getting my normal office lighting. Which means shadows 😐. Which also means weird angles to avoid shadows 🫠 So yes, everything is content, but it isn’t always quality content, lol. I often get asked why I don’t pour directly onto envelopes, and this is a very good Exhibit A. I poured the wax, but the framed piece kept falling out of the stamp head (off camera). Normally, I would just remelt the red wax and start over, but since the wax was already on the envelope, I had to act quick. And it worked out fine. But the risk isn’t worth it, imo. Side note: I found this image on Pinterest, sized it down in photoshop, and printed it on matte photo paper. You can find this stamp (Elegant Frame), our chisel tip markers, and lots of other fun stuff at StrictlyRita.com ✨ P.S.

If you saw my post a few days ago, you knew this one was coming. Our Art Therapy Kit is back in stock, so I shared a video from last year: Seals for care packages I put together for my kids for Valentine’s Day ❤️, with the promise that I’d show you what was inside said care packages. So this is also a video from last year, all info is correct EXCEPT, we DO carry the Plus Sign stamp head separately, as well as a Small Plus ➕ rod stamp 🙌🏼!! For the custom stamp in this kit, I chose a plus sign ➕. I think of this symbol as a modern fleur de lis. I wear it and use it in my all of my decorating and papercrafting. For me it symbolizes positivity, safety, security and self care. I also like using it in place of an ampersand, on a wedding card, for example.  Aside from care packages, this seal would perfect on any type of “survival kit,” e.g. 50th Birthday Survival Kit, New Mom Survival Kit, Back to School Survival Kit etc. And wouldn’t the kit itself be a great gift for someone who could use a little therapeutic “me time” ?  You can find our Art Therapy, both plus sign stamps, and lots of other fun stuff at StrictlyRita.com ✨ #waxseal #sealingwax #waxsealstamp #strictlyrita #mailart #plussign #ValentinesDay #valentine
Remember 3 or 4 months ago, when I kept posting two toned Wedgwood-ish seals? And I kept saying this is the last one, and it never was the last one? Well, this is actually the last one, with a clip at the end of all the seals I made that day. (When doing the pour and scrape technique, white tends to be pretty forgiving, especially when the background wax is a lighter color.) If you didn’t happen to see the many aforementioned two toned seals, maybe you saw the butterfly seal I posted a couple of weeks ago, where I stopped after pressing the stamp into the clear wax. And I think it was pretty. But in true Strictly Rita form, I had to take it a step further, lol. Too far 😅?! You can find Lacy Butterfly, as well as this dreamy Cinnamon background wax, and lots of other fun stuff at StrictlyRita.com ✨ P.S.

Wanna know what makes me smile?! Lots of layered colors on a wax seals 😍 And I can’t think of a better stamp than Flowery Wishes to demonstrate the process. So many details to highlight 🥰. And I know you’ve heard me say this before, but even though 3D stamps are my preference, techniques like this one are easier with a 2D stamp, imo, and depending on the individual stamp.  The dreamy background blue is available in our Metallica XL wax set, which is finally back in stock 🙌🏼!!

Don’t mind the spooky background 😅 I made this seal back when Button (a Strictly Rita original 🤭) was launched. And I’m just now getting around to editing and posting it 😅, I have a tendency to over film and under edit, lol. I wonder when the 9 seals I filmed  today will actually get posted 🤔 😂?!

Gems for frames, part 3, Oval Cut edition ✨ Have you seen all 3? Which one was your favorite?! A little glimpse into my brain: I literally cannot enjoy watching this video, due to the slightly crooked royal blue Emerald Cut, upper left 🫠. Anyone else 😅?!

You guys, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: this song 😭😭😭 Ok, switching emotions now 🔄. I have some news!! Oval Frame (my second favorite out of all our frame stamps) is back in stock 🙌🏼!! Also a favorite?! Our Classic Art washi stickers!! They work so well with all of our frame stamps, even our small ones! Just find an area on the sticker that you want to frame, and stamp away 🤗!!

So many layers on this one, it gets a little dizzying to watch 😅 A question I often get asked, is “Why did you cut the shapes out instead of pouring and scraping?” It really just depends on the stamp. If I poured and scraped this one, it’s 2D, so it would only fill in the outline of the shape, if that makes sense? Sometimes I’ll pour and scrape the outline, and then press it into another color, and cut the shape out so it’s filled in. Like I said, it depends on the stamp and what I’m trying to accomplish. This stamp, Paper and Quill, is sold on its own, but is also available in a set: Stationer’s Faves. And good news! The beautiful green, Pearly Forest, is also available in a set, Metallica XL, and it’s just been restocked 🙌🏼!! You can them all at StrictlyRita.com ✨ #waxseal #sealingwax #waxsealstamp #strictlyrita #mailart
Ok guys, I’m known for overdoing it from time to time, lol, but I think this time I under did it 😅. I should have gone on to cut out the circle and press it into another color. Imo. It’s getting to be that time of year, when flowers and chocolates are everywhere. What’s your favorite flower to receive? Mine would be carnations, I absolutely love how they smell!! With daffodils coming in at a close second!!  This Valentine’s Day, you can gift flowers that won’t wilt!! Our shop is blooming with floral wax seal stamps in all the varieties (with carnations coming soon 🤗!)

I can’t put my finger on what it is I love about this stamp, but I do!! I’m sure it has something with the postage stamp frame, but I also love the simplicity of it. It’s also a good one when learning the pour and scrape technique.

I love the 2D stamps for seals like this!!  And Scalloped Frame works perfectly with our Fairy Post stickers.  Side note: I’m not sure I’d trust this sticker to travel through the mail. I recommend putting it inside another envelope, just to be safe.

Introducing our new Retro TV Frame 📺. Kind of a lame name for what a cool stamp it is 🤔. I may change it in the future if I think of something better. It reminds me a lot of our Do the Shuffle stamp, but totally different, lol. Playing with this is stamp is one thing that brought me happiness while I was sick. And there wasn’t much that could, not even food or Diet Coke, lol. So you know this little guy is special 🥹 Stay tuned…I of course couldn’t let sleeping dogs lie, lol 😅. I had to take it a step further and press it into our ghostly Vellum wax (back in stock today 🙌🏼), so watch for that upcoming video, to decide, once again 😅, if I took it a step too far 🫠 You can find this new stamp, and TONS of other new goodies at StrictlyRita.com ✨ P.S.

Good news!! This mesmerizing wax will soon be available in 100 count boxes, along with black and blue glitter clouds 🙌🏼 Art Deco is one of our most unique frame stamps, imo, and I love how easy it is to cut out!

Which one do you like best?! Aren’t these lips SO realistic looking?! And it’s a great stamp for two tone seals!! The shape is simple, so it’s easy to cut out, and it’s also a great one for the pour and scrape technique!! I can’t believe I haven’t done a video showing that process with this one 🤔?! 🏃‍♀️ Putting it on my “to do” list 🏃‍♀️. Also, the fact that your mail is literally sealed with a kiss?! It perfect!!

There are a couple of things I’m excited about here 🤗!! First, the stamp 🥰!! It’s a Strictly Rita original, and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out!! I mean, it’s the two things I love most in life: a wax seal and a frame!! Win win 🙌🏼!! Second thing is the Glitter Clouds 🤩!! We used to sell them in our cloud wax set (which unfortunately, we no longer carry 😢). I found myself always running out of the semi transparent Glitter Clouds, the Black Clouds and Blue Clouds. So I’ve ordered 100 count boxes for the shop 🤗!! You can find them, as well as our Wax Seal Frame, and lots of other fun stuff at StrictlyRita.com ✨ P.S.

A couple of problems: it’s December 30, and the background tchotchkes show Christmas. I’m trying to remember why 🤔, 7 swans a-swimming maybe? Second problem, I colored his eye a little high 😅. Sometimes my filming gets in the way of my art, lol. What I do like: THIS GREEN 🤩!! Lately I’ve loved playing around with different color recipes!! And you know the greens are always my favorite!! Have you made any interesting color combos recently? Comment the recipe below, so we can try it 🙌🏼!! What I also like/love, our new 3D Swan!!
