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 will be posting from CA, including more scraproom stuff.  See ya soon!

    I love this technique, thank you for reminding me, I have yet to use it. I am a scrap booker and card maker, however, card making seems to be taking over lately. Thank you for opportunity and for sharing your gifts!

  14. Dori J says:

    I started as a card maker many years ago and added scrapbooking about 3 years ago. I love them both. 🙂

  15. Brandi Z. says:

    I am primarily a scrapper, but I make cards once in a while. A nice sense of accomplishment for the little projects!

  16. Candy says:

    Scrapper for sure! Although I love looking at the cards people make.

  17. Ruth Ann says:

    Love both of ’em. I started out as a stamper which has translated to both scrapbooking and card making.

  18. Monika/buzsy says:

    What a cute card. Love the vellum… I am mostly a cardmaker… I do some scrap booking, but not enough. Enjoy your trip. TFS!

  19. Erin says:

    scrapbooker… trying to be a cardmaker!

  20. Marjolein says:

    Wow…..love your blog, just hopped over from another one!
    What a great give away! I’m both, just picked up card making again, and these would be a great addition to my stamp overload!

  21. Jennifer G says:

    I’m a card maker who hoards scrapbooking stuff but never does it.

  22. lynn whelan says:

    I love the nostalgic feel to these stamps.
    I began as a scrapper, but have mostly been making cards lately. I hope to get back to scrapping soon since one of my bestest scrapping buddies moved right down the street from me!

    thanks
    lynn

  23. Tara says:

    I love that card Jennifer! I also love the simple way you did the snowy ground with circles..there’s so much dimension to the card.

    I am a cardmaker who occasionaly does scrapbooking! 😀

  24. I am both, I mean, I scrapbook and I make cards, don’t know if I would call myself a scrapbooker and card-making, though.. 🙂

  25. Shelly says:

    I’m more of a card maker turning into a scrapbooker. It’s fun shopping with my friends because we all use the same products but in different ways. They are more scrappers and are convincing me that it is OK to cut pictures.

  26. kelly says:

    Ha! Scrapbooker, though you’re doing your best to turn me into a card maker 😉

  27. Hannah D U says:

    I am a scrapper!!!

  28. Christina S. says:

    I was a scrapper first but became a card maker as well because I have all the “stuff”. Why not? Love your blog…

  29. Lisa Nichols says:

    I started out as a scrapbooker and then found cardmaking…I scrapbook more for gifts. I simply LOVE cardmaking and have recently found your blog. Now I am OBSESSED!I shipped my first set of cards to Cards for Heroes today…what an excellent way to celebrate Veteran’s Day. Thanks for the tip on the organization!

  30. Bree says:

    scrapbooker 😉

  31. jeanie says:

    both!scrapbooker qand cardmaker! 🙂

  32. Debby Greenlaw says:

    I’m both, though right now I seem to be doing more cards.

  33. Louise says:

    I’m 99% scrapbooker and the rest cards. I make them in batches and then I’ll go for a long time not making any cards. I scrapbook every day.

  34. I am a scrapbooker mostly… i do love to use my double sided cardstock to do simple everyday cards. I need more stamps to really get my card on.

  35. Jeannie R. says:

    I started out just scrapbooking, but ventured into card making when I was feeling guilty about the size of my stash and wanted to put it to use…Now I make at least 1 card with the scraps of every layout i complete. I got in trouble for giving a store bought card recently…my friends and family have been conditioned to get something handmade!

  36. Cindy C. says:

    I like doing both. And there is always an on going card project on my work table. There are family birthdays and special occasions every month.

  37. Melissa C says:

    Scrapbooker for sure!!! Haven’t master the art of cardmaking!

    Have a safe trip to CA.

  38. Steph says:

    I am a dual creator! I have my wonderful sister in law to thank for my addiction, uh, I mean hobbies.

  39. Susie says:

    I’m a cardmaker… dabbling a bit into scrapbooking.

  40. doreen obrien says:

    I am a scrapbooker for many years, but I do make my family and friends cards for their birthdays. Have a wonderful trip.

  41. stampersuzz says:

    Cards… Scrapbooking is a struggle for me.. 🙂 Thanks for all the give aways and all the ideas you share. Good inspiration to keep the creative juices flowing.

  42. Linda says:

    I am mainly a cardmaker, but I do scrapbooking in my mind. I envision pages but never seem to get them on paper – maybe some day. Thanks for all your give-aways.

  43. cynthia says:

    wow wonderful give away thanks so much Cynthia

  44. Liz says:

    I was a scrapbooker first, but quickly got hooked on card-making too!

  45. Mary says:

    I am definetly both!!! I really want to be able to have some more time to scrapbook, but whenever I clear some time, I need supplies that I don’t have. And I can’t go to the store because I’m only 11 and I wouldn’t have the money to buy it anyway. (I like to spend!!) but my aunt has a lot of supplies, so I can just use hers. Also, I do a “cardmaking business” for my grandma. (I make the cards for her.) But I would still definetly say that I am a scrapbooker and a cardmaker.

  46. Rhonda P says:

    oh, too cool. I am a scrapbooker who dabbles in card making. Need to find the time to do more of them. Your videos really make me want to. I seem to get stuck on what to write on the inside. Isn’t that just crazy?

  47. Danette says:

    I am both, but much newer to the card making. I can’t believe it took me so long to see what a great way that was to be creative and use scraps and let people know how much I care.
    I am trying to figure out a design for the Christmas cards now
    Thanks for you inspiration…I check your ideas OFTEN!

  48. Jennifer C. says:

    I am first a scrapbooker.. then a cardmaker for special occasions. I wish I could get into making cards all the time. I am currently working on individual scrapbooks for each of my children. I seem to get about 3 months per book, since I am one of those scrapbookers who does every moment…learning how not to use every picture.

    Have a great trip!!!

  49. heatherg says:

    I’m a 60 40-60% cardmaker and 40% scrapper.
    LOVE your blog! Super ideas!
