WCMD Week: Day 5 of Giveaways

10.02.08

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.

    HI Jennifer!

    If I have duplicate entries I apologize – Typepad is going crazy and wouldn’t let me post a comment but the thought of all that pretty ribbon made me keep trying and trying!

    I loove stamps and ‘collect’ them from all different companies – I do love Hero Arts, especially now that they have clear stamps!

    A few other faves:

    A Muse Art Stamps
    Hampton Arts/Studio G (Kolette Hall!!!)
    Stampendous! (love the cutesy ones!)
    Doodlebug
    Heidi Grace

    Just got my first order from Stampin Up and they look great too.

    Thanks for the chance to win!

    Great ribbon giveaway. Who doesn’t want those!!! As always you treat us with you wonderful creations, thanks so much! As for the stamping companies… I really love Hero Arts and Stampin’Up, but you really have to get yourself some A Muse stamps. Such great designs!!! I’m from the Netherlands and some times a year De Creatie sells their own Get Inspired kit. With a sheet of stamps. The last one was with such an adorable deer, with which I’m making babycards for a friend yay!!! That set is called Dreamy Days. But I’ll give you the link to all of them:

    I really like the clear stamps from Gel-a-tins. The stamps are the main reason I joined the kit club I belong to now. They now use Tin Box Creation stamps and those are great too.

    I have to admit that I have not been big on stamping but got my first real introduction to it through your “No Postage Required” class in Wellington! I have tried a number of different stamps since then, but always seem to use my Hero Arts and Autumn Leaves stamps the most! Thanks for all the great tips, techniques and enablers you share with us through your blog.

    What a great card…I love watching your videos. I have been using Lockhart stamps and recently took a class with Karen (the owner) on coloring – she is amazing and does beautiful work. I also like Papertrey, Lizzy Ann Designs, WhipperSnapper, and Impression Obsession (in no particular order). I have been thinking about getting my hands on some of that yummy silk ribbon.

    My taste in stamps are changing. I’m not as attracted to the “cutesy” stamps as I used to be. I’m drawn to stamps that look more like art. Two of my favorite companies are Darkroom Door (Rachel Greig is SO talented) and Cat’s Press. Really awesome stamps!

    My favorite is probably Hero Arts, but partly because I love their website, so I see a lot of their stamps in use. I have a lot of Autumn Leaves and Inkadoodle. I like the different smaller clear sets and little wood stamps where I can get something new when money is tight, and because I can add a special little touch to my work. Mostly, I look for well made stamps. Bargain ones are sometimes just a waste of money.

    I have started using a lot of Papertrey Ink stamps, and of course, still use Stampin Up. After being introduced to your blog, I’m looking more and more at Hero Arts – I love some of the images you are using. I would love to add some of that beautiful ribbon to my creations. 🙂
