Editor's Picks 2004: Painting and Rubber Stamping

Special Presentation : Episode HHOB1-S04 -- More Projects » By Tammy Jones, HGTV.com
Monograms aren't just for sheets and shirt cuffs anymore; they're showing up on everything from walls to lampshades and more. The new Monogram It! laser-cut stencils from One Heart One Mind feature four sizes of each letter on one sheet, so you can use a larger middle initial if you like, or you can use them to write words and sentences with capital letters.

Thanks to Stewart Superior for Palette, a Hybrid ink in an ergonomic oval stamp pad that allows the lid to be snapped into the base, creating an easy-to-hold handle. The new Hybrid ink formula blends the best of both worlds--pigment and dye inks--into one pad. The result is vibrant ink that looks and works like pigment but dries fast like dye! The ink is acid-free, archival and non-fading, permanent on all paper surfaces and heat-sets on other surfaces for crisp, bright, non-bleeding impressions, all in a versatile raised pad. Available in 36 colors and four rainbow pads. Also look for their new Memories pigment ink for crafters--finally one ink that does it all!

Delta's Paper Plus line of special finishes and effects will give your collage, mixed media and altered art projects something extra, no matter what your skill level. The Gesso is a great "white out" sort of product that allows you to hide parts of altered books that you don't want in your project and gives you a blank canvas for your creativity. The Tea Dye Varnish and Sheer Color Finish create antiqued, aged looks on whatever you apply them to. Sheer Silver and Sheer Gold Glazes add beautiful metallic magic to your pages. Also look for Crackle Finish, Pattern Builder and the Decoupage Finish all-in-one glue and varnish.

Also from Delta, the Texture Magic decorating program allows you to create stylish dimensional effects on just about any surface. The basis of Texture Magic is the dimensional paint tubes, available in 18 pre-colored pastes. It's fast-drying and has a matte finish that doesn't crack when dry. All you do is squeeze and spread the paint over and through a stencil for beautiful effects. There's a complete line of spreaders, tips and texture combs to expand the possibilities, as well as a charcoal tint, antiquing gel and gold metallic finish to create aged effects. A book, video and practice guide will get you started, and their simple home accents project kits allow you to start small before you tackle larger projects. It's a very exciting new line and it's so simple!
