WCMD Week: Day 5 of Giveaways

Hi!  It’s Day 5 of my celebration of World Card Making Day Week.  Today I have some shares, links, Q&A’s and a great giveaway.  It’s very yummy…

The winner of Day 3’s giveaway (a bunch of Heidi Swapp goodies) is Jessica Griffin.  I will email you.

First, I wanted to say that I finally got the video to work on YouTube for yesterday’s card.  Here it is.  (For more info on the card, click HERE.)

Next… 2peas had a bunch of new stuff go up in their Garden yesterday.  Here are my silly cards… click HERE for more pictures and info…

A few more links..

  • Check out Jennifer Pebbles FREE class at 2peas HERE.  It is so cool.
  • Shannon Tidwell had a baby girl… so happy for her.  Look how stunning she looks with her pretty girl in this great layout HERE.  Ooooo… and THIS is so pretty!
  • I love Amy Grendell’s adorable Halloween Treat Jars HERE.  I think I may do this for the kids in Colin’s class.  And fill it with raisins. 🙂

Moving on…

I am trying to catch up on Q&A’s.  Here are a few more…

Q: Awhile back you mentioned something about kits.  Are you still thinking of doing that?
A: Back when I started the blog, I asked if anyone would be interested in buying kits if I had extras from classes.  However, I decided not to do this for two reasons.  One… I am lazy. 🙂  Two… with stamping, it is hard to do kits that aren’t super expensive.  And I seem to be completely incapable of creating anything without stamps.  (Addictions are tough. 🙂

Q: What dies work with the Cuttlebug?
A: Almost all do.  If you have non-Cuttlebug dies and want to learn how to use them on a Cuttlebug, I recommend doing a Google and/or YouTube search on “Cuttlebug with Quickutz Dies” or whatever. You can easily get the answers you need.

Q: Do you have any other videos I can see?
A: Yep.  I would recommend going HERE and clicking on the yellow “subscribe” button so you can be notified whenever they are posted.  Also, I do videos for twopeasinabucket.com HERE and Hero Arts HERE.

Q: Where do you get all your pretty soft ribbon?
A: Ahh… I get asked this a lot.  And I am so happy to say that one of the great online stores now carries the silk ribbon I love!  I can promise promise promise you will love it.  It is classy and soft and comes in great colors.  And thin, so when you tie a knot it is tiny and not bulky – perfect for cardmaking and scrapbooking.  If you are interested in the silk ribbons, click HERE.  They have great prices, too.

Now… time for the next giveaway.  Today I have a fun pile of my favorite silk ribbon!  For a chance to win all this goodness, just leave a comment on this post by Friday at 11:59pmEDT telling me one of your favorite stamp companies.  (I am hoping to discover some new ones to buy.)  I will post the winner on Saturday. Here is the ribbon you would win…

Silk ribbon goodness 

Off to pack for a teaching gig this weekend in Orlando.  It is a rep show – I love doing classes for store owners. It is good to see stores doing well in this industry and economy.

Have a great night.  Thanks for stopping by.

    To be honest, before I knew about Hero Arts, my favorites wer CTMH and I would also buy SU! once in a while, but after doing some of your challenges at Two Peas I fall in love with Hero Arts, I love the designs and the fact that they are more afordable! I still buy CTMH and SU! but my Hero Arts collections is growing faster 😉
    I just got in the mail the “Stamping Green Tree” that ‘you the enabler’ 🙂 showed us few post ago, and let me tell you it is beautiful!!!!!!!!

    I’m loving your ideas, inspiration and everything this week! Thanks!!!!

  5. Jessica says:

    I’m in love with Pink Cat Studio stamps. They’re adorable!

  6. Oh beautiful ribbons!! My favorite stamp company? Difficult to be just one!

    I always have loved Hero Arts and Penny Black- especially the Hedgehogs… I also love Stampin’Up.

    Also, when I went to Florida last spring, I found some stamps from a company called PaperBags Studios. The samples were gorgeous. They are thick rubber unmounted stamps. Unfortunately, I haven’t taken the time to mount and use them yet. But the designs are just gorgeous!

  7. LindaL says:

    Stamp companies I love would be Stampin’ Up!, Stamp It (great Aussie company), Inque Boutique and My Sentiments Exactly. Cheers!

    Hi Jennifer … I’d have to say Autumn Leaves would be my favorite, though it’s “clear” to me that all the acrylic stamping companies are improving their quality … which makes me smile.

    hmmm…what stamps do I like the best??? that’s a tough one. There are so many good stampin’ companies out there.

Ask me next week, and I might have found something different to write. 🙂
