Happy Monday… with a yummy giveaway…

Hope everyone is well!

I have a winner of the BasicGrey stamp set.  The lucky one is… Michelle Jadaa!  I will email you.

Thanks for all your ideas.  I will share some over the next few weeks.

I am off to California tomorrow for some meetings at Hero Arts.  Can't wait to see my Hero girls there – I have been missing them.  Just a quick post for tonight.

Quick share.  This was from a class a few weeks ago.  To do those snowflakes, I stamped with Versamark ink on vellum.  Then I traced over the stamped images with an dry embossing tool.  I then added it to the card upside down, so the raised area is up.  (If you want to see a video showing this technique, click HERE.)  The trees are stamped on the card behind the vellum in blue – looks like faraway trees.  This card is small – 4.25"x2.5"

All Hero Arts products.

And a giveaway!  Woohoo.  I love doing this. :)  I have two of these yummy sets from Making Memories – want to give one away.  Here's your chance… just leave a comment on this post by Tuesday at 11:59pmEDT telling me if you are a scrapbooker, cardmaker or both.  Here is the great Making Memories set…

    I am BOTH!
    I love the way that my cardmaking has evolved from my scrapbooking and ESPECIALLY that I can use the same supplies for both of them! ๐Ÿ™‚

  3. Theresa says:

    Welcome to California! I am mainly a scrapbooker. Thanks for the giveaway.

  4. Cass says:

    I’m both. Started as a cardmaker, then got into scrapping a few years later.

  5. fiona y says:

    i love both scrapbooking and cardmaking, i guess ppl normally scrapbook first then use the scraps to make cards but i tend to find myself doing it the other way around ๐Ÿ™‚
    thank you for being so generous as always jen ๐Ÿ™‚

    I really must say that I’m both. I love to make a card for someone and also love to make LO for my scrapalbums But most off all I like the feeling of giving others my cards or LO (santa feeling). Right now stampin has got my attention. Thanks for the chance of winning and love your site

  14. Coconuts says:

    Hello Jennifer.
    I am French and love your blog… I learn a lot !
    I am a scrapbooker since 3 years and novice cardmaker.

  15. Charlotta says:

    I am a scrapbooker who is more and more into cardmaking ( thanks to you and the Hero blog- Iยดm not saying this to get a better chance to win!)
    Thank you for the great idea to use punched circles as snow! Im going to borrow that for my winter cards. That is perhaps the only snow we will see this winter- with global warming there is a small chance of a white Christmas- even here in Sweden!

  16. Deena says:

    Started out a scrapbooker, then got into cards.

  17. Amber says:

    I am a scrapper at heart who has branched out into card making and now love both!

  18. Rene' Sharp says:

    I have been scrapbooking since 2005 & only started cardmaking this year! I love both! With scrapbooking I love the fact that I get to keep my pages and look back on them on a regular basis. I sometimes hate to send a card that I have spent so much time on, and love to look at! Don’t know if that is a bit odd of me?!? Here in South Africa people don’t seem to grasp the concept of homemade cards so much, and don’t really realise how much time and love goes into each card!

  19. Alex says:

    I am both, I started making cards and made the natural progression when I had a little girl ๐Ÿ˜‰

  20. sandie says:

    Oh I am a bit of everything really but my no. 1 passion is definately making cards and christmas cards are my specialty.

    Luv Sandie

  21. Betty says:

    I am both. I started out as a card maker about 18yrs ago….a rubber stamper then evolved into a scrapbooker. I dabble with paint and fabric (sewing) but I am a paper girl at heart!

    I actually still have some of the hero art rubber stamps from when I first started out stamping.

  22. katharina says:

    It seems, that often I am more of a Cardmaker than a scrapbooker – a card just doesn’t need that much time for a perfectionist than a WHOLE PERFECT PAGE for my scrapbook! AAAAAHHH!

    OH and I LOVE SCRAPBOOKING! Why does the time-schedule play against me?

    ANYWAY: Lovely greetings from over the ocean!
    Katharina from the BlackForestRegion/Germany (;

  23. Erika says:

    I am definitely both! Although lately, I am more of a shopper-for-supplies!!!!!!!! Have a fun trip to CA – bet the weather will be so much nicer than it is for me in Luxembourg ๐Ÿ˜‰

  24. Francine says:

    I’m both. I do more scrapbooking, but I always send handmade cards!

  25. Sue says:

    I’m a cardmaker who is starting to do a few scrapbook pages. Cards are just much easier for me and I haven’t had the time to do both lately.

  26. tina winkle says:

    I am both. I do digi, paper and hybrid,too. I love having all the choices!

  27. Hana says:

    Uhh. this card is GREAT again!

    And me… nowadays I’m both ๐Ÿ™‚ Thanx to YOU :-*

  28. Angela Daly says:

    I am a card maker since I was 10 yrs old in my country Colombia, S.A. (Pergamino cards), Today I am a certified Pergamno instructor. Then when I moved to U.S. (1990) I discovered scrapbooking and after I became a mother I decided to go to school to learn photography.
    I love it. three great passions combined.
    thanks for sharing our work, love your style.

  29. Lydia says:

    First of all, I want to tell just how much I love your blog. I am getting so many ideas. Thanks…
    I scrapbook and I want to makes more cards. I have so many stamps I buy and don’t use. But your blog is giving me such good card ideas. I already make the gift holder one (showed everyone at work…they loved it..I work at Archivers). And the little card with the 3 butterflies on the front. Love that card. Now, I have to try the snowflakes on the vellum. Love that.

  30. Angela says:

    Originally a scrapbooker and now an avid cardmaker as well. I love the “quick fix” of cardmaking. I’m such a perfectionist that my scrapbooking can take forever to yield a finished product!! ๐Ÿ™‚

  31. Brenda says:

    I am both a scrapbooker and a card maker but scrapbooking is at the top of my list.

  32. jenink says:

    Mainly a cardmaker, b/c I love to be able to create for other people, and it is much easier to finish a card project for me. But I do some scrapbooking as well, I find it is a good way to tell some of the stories that go along with the photos of my kids.

  33. edie3 says:

    I started scrapping, but now cards and stamping are my true love!

  34. Tina in Springboro says:

  36. Lisa says:

    I’m both. Cards are fun, quick and a great way to try something new before it hits the books.

  37. Michelle Jadaa says:

    I just started cardmaking this year.I find it a stress reliever and love the joy that a simple card can give someone.I’m learning parchment craft too,i will have to use that vellum layering idea …its lovely!

  38. Sasha Farina says:

  41. Karen from Ontario says:

    Great sets to giveaway…thanks. I am a cardmaker. I find I can make a card easily in the few moments of time that I get in a day. Someday I hope to be able to find more time to scrapbook.

  42. I started out by making cards, switched to scrapbooking and now do both. I’m not really very creative but I love to play around with paper and stamps ect. And I love buying supplies.
