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.

    Pretty ribbons…never can have too many of those!

    My favorites are Hero Arts & Purple Onion Designs…course, you know both of those! I have purchased a stamp from Great Impressions (based out of Centralia, WA) and absolutely love the impression it leaves…you can see the fireworks stamp I did here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/scrapperjjb/2615177174/in/photostream/.

    Hope you get some new stamp companies to ponder!

    My favorite stamps are Clear dollar stamps.
    http://www.cdstamps.com They are beautifully made, really adorable designs, inexpensive and the shipping is oh so reasonable!! They also have great customer service in my experience (the owner actually emails you!! and quite quickly at that.)

    Oh I have loved your use of this ribbon and have been wanting to find and get me some! :0)
    My favorite stamps usually come from…Well Hero arts is one of them the reason being I find their Acrylics are almost like a cross between acrylic and rubber not so squishy. I also love 7 Gyspies designs and Studio Gs are great for Inchie type designs. I could go on but I’ll leave it at that.
    Thanks for the great video Jennifer.

    Well, I guess I won’t be winning this one because I hadn’t been into stamping until lately and that’s only because I won some stamps in a RAK. They are Sudio G and Autumn Leaves…I prefer Autumn Leaves…they seem to work better, but then..what do I know? lol

    great for girlfriend cards.

    Question . . .
    Your Hero Arts video called Glittered Stamped Image has a darling card with Jolly Christmas using the circle punch. There is no still picture that I could print for future reference. Please?

    I have ordered stamps from Stampintreasures before and it’s great they sell ribbon now too. They don’t charge stupid shipping charges when you live in Europe.
    I have a stamp brand for you, it’s Dutch and the woman who designs them is callen Nellie Snellen, the stamps are called “Ollies”.

    Thanks for sharing where to buy the ribbon. The colors are awesome, and I bet it feels just as great.

    One of my new favorite obsessions is Unity Stamp Co. The quality is superb, and I love the variety of stamps they carry, both for card makers and scrapbookers.

    A couple of my other favorites are Catslife Press and Purple Onion Designs. They make some great stamps to use for scrapping. And of course, Hero Arts. 🙂
