Stampin' Up!

WEDNESDAY WHAT?? WHAT’S THE BEST VALUE??

Something a little different for a Wednesday. Wednesday WHAT?

I answer some questions you might have about the products or Stampin’ Up! If you have a question you would like an answer too then drop me a comment or email and I can help you.

I get asked a lot about the products and what people should get. Of course, everyone wants the best value for their money – and of course why not!

When it comes to Stampin’ Up! do you know what THE best value is??

It is … to join the Stampin’ Up! family.

Why is that such a great value??

You get more for your money in the beginning (and you don’t pay shipping on that first order). And then you get a minimum discount of 20%. That’s pretty good right??

What more do you get for that?

  • Of course, a fun crafting community in a team group or with other Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators.
  • Access to the products early. YAY!
  • Joining in at exclusive Demonstrator only events.
  • Joining in on my JEN’s INK team get togethers and sharing with them.
  • AND… There is no expectation to “sell” or “Demonstrate”. Just enjoy the discount for yourself BUT if you choose to you can “sell” to family and friends and new-found crafting friends. No pressure though.

Now with Sale-A-Bration you get an extra bonus of 200 6″x6″ papers from the Stampin’ Up! Colour Collections. (That’s an extra $100 value).

Free papers with SAB

If you are in Australia and don’t have a Demonstrator – come along and join my JEN’s INK Team.

Most of my team members are “hobbyists”. I think we are all Hobbyists as we love our “hobby” of crafting. Some just take it a little further and may “sell” to family and friends and others. There is no obligation. I welcome all types of crafters.

I look forward to welcoming you to my team.

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to message me or you can phone me on 0439 844574. Need to know more?? Head to this page on my blog –> HERE which might explain it all a little more. It even has the link there to join along.

Just get your shopping list together for $235 of products and be ready to pay only $169. You won’t be charged any shipping either.

Have a great day,

Jenny

TWO STEP WITH A TOUCH OF INK!

Another card with you using the A Touch of Ink stamp set. This card is one we made at class a couple of weeks ago. It was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest. I didn’t save the actual card so I can’t remember the original creator. I changed it up a little.

Two Step A Touch of Ink

With the A Touch Of Ink stamp set I love that it is a 2-step stamp set. You can colour the line art images but you have the great option of using the solid image stamps to “fill” the images.

For this card stamp the leaves on white card with Just Jade and use the Soft Sea Foam to colour the leaves with the solid leaf stamp. I ran the white card through the Subtles Embossing Folder and wrapped around some White Baker’s Twine.

For the hummingbird, stamp in Memento Black. To colour it I inked up the solid stamp with Flirty Flamingo. Before stamping I used the Daubers or you can use a sponge to lightly add ink on the edges. On the top I inked with Poppy Parade. Along the bottom edge of the bird I inked with Pumpkin Pie. Then stamp on to the white diecut circle. If you find the Flirty Flamingo too dark then before inking the edges lightly stamp off the bird on to scrap paper.

The sentiment on this is heat embossed with Silver Embossing Powder and diecut with the Messages Die.

I don’t want you missing out on this gorgeous A Touch of Ink stamp set. It’s only available for one more month. This is a Level 2 Sale-A-Bration choice. When you order over $180 you can choose this set.

As an added bonus this week I have a little special.

When you order over $180 you can choose the A Touch Of Ink stamp set (or you can choose any other of the products too). As a Thanks to you I will send out to you 2 card kits that you can create your own cards with as well as a sample of the lovely Oh So Ombre paper.

If you are in Austalia I would love to help you with your orders. You can contact me directly on 0439 844574 or head to my store -> HERE. Please use the Host Code: CJ7PPUEC

Have a great day,

Jenny

A SPECIAL CONGRATULATIONS WITH THE ART GALLERY BUNDLE!

I can now share this card with you. It is a very special Congratulations card for my son and his girlfriend/now fiance (eek!) on their engagement.

It had to be a special card. (I do hope I pulled it off too). I inked up my new Art Gallery Bundle that had just arrived and I also used the Curvy Dies.

The flowers were stamped first with Balmy Blue with the “solid” image flower and then added the Night of Navy for the highlights with the smaller detailed stamp. To add some little highlights to the smaller flowers I used the Night of Navy ‘Light’ Stampin’ Blends to add some dots.

The “Congratulations” was embossed in Gold but it is hard to see the shine in the photo sadly. The Balmy Blue card was embossed with the Pinewood Planks Embossing Folder.

I think they liked the card. 🙂

The Art Gallery Bundle is now available in my store. It makes beautiful cards for so many different occasions.

See it in store now -> HERE.

Or you can contact me directly and I can help you order any of the products.

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #115- REVIEWING THE MINI STAMPIN’ CUT AND EMBOSS MACHINE!

Today’s Wednesday’s WOW! I am so excited about. The new Mini Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine has arrived. It’s so cute and compact – and affordable.

So for Wednesday’s WOW! #115Let’s review the Mini Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine.

I put together a video showing some tips in using this cute Mini machine – and created a card in the process. You can check it out and hopefully it will help you in using your own Mini Machine.

The video is now on Youtube too. Have you subscribed yet? Head to Youtube -> HERE and you can subscribe and be sure to not miss any videos I share.

(If you receive this blog post as an email the video may not show up so be sure to click on the title above to go to the blog post or head to Youtube at the link just above).

I have used the Art Gallery Bundle with the beautiful Art Gallery stamps and the Floral Gallery Dies. It is a 2 step stamp set which is so good as you don’t have to colour the flowers. The solid flower was stamped in Petal Pink and the outline/highlights were stamped in Flirty Flamingo. (It does look a different colour in the photo though).

The Flirty Flamingo card is embossed with one of the Greenery Embossing Folders which can fit nicely in the new Mini Machine. I love the new Stitched with Whimsy dies. They make a fun, squiggly edge. The sentiment was cut with one of the rectangle shapes. There is a large one and a smaller one and I love the “postage stamp” type edge. I finished the card off with a White Baker’s Twine Bow. I’m so glad this is back. Also, a Champagne Rhinestone.

The Art Gallery Bundle is below.

The Mini Catalogue is now available to order from. YAY!

In Australia? I would love you to come and shop in my store. It’s open 24/7. 🙂

You might have come from Odette’s blog -> HERE or just starting with me. That’s ok. Join in and hop around.

Just first off – What is ESAD??

For my project today I couldn’t resist the Darling Donkeys stamp set. How cute is it??? This is a free choice for Sale-A-Bration this year.

The card is a Pull Tab Flap Fold. It’s really quite easy – and fun! I think I need to make more of these type of cards.

Firstly the front of the card with the cute donkey.

Pull the tab and it opens to another sweet donkey.

Inside the card I added some white card to write on – and another donkey.

All the donkeys were stamped in Black Memento ink and coloured with the Stampin’ Blends.

The Designer Series Paper panel on the front is from the Flower and Field pack also a free choice for Sale-A-Bration.

Want to make one of these cards yourself?

I will add the measurements just below in Metric and Imperial. Rather than recreating a video of putting the card together you can check out Lisa’s video here. She explains it so well. View it -> HERE.

STRIKING MAGENTA BLOSSOMS IN BLOOM!

There are some cards I haven’t shared with you yet I realised as I went through my albums. That’s all a bit sad. So I am going to try a little catch up over the next couple of days.

I have used the beautiful Many Layered Blossoms Dies. I used them so much a few months ago and then new shiny toys arrived. This one the the “wider” flower die was diecut in Magenta Madness and then the “fine line” die was diecut in Black and then layered together.

The white card is embossed with the Ornate Floral Embossing Folder. The Designer Series Paper strip is from the 2020-2022 Incolor Paper Pack. I think it is striking with the black and the bold magenta colour.

I will share some more “neglected” projects again soon so come back and join me. You can follow along on my blog when I post so just check the tab in the right hand column.

Happy New Year to you. Have a great celebration but be safe.
