Video: New Distress Inks – Pearlized Paper… and GIVEAWAY!

Happy Sunday.  I have a video, cool deal and giveaway today.  First, the video…

I have been wanting to do something with this favorite photo of mine and decided it was time.  The project is very simple, but I figured I would film it so you could see all the new Distress Inks in action.  I used them all in here and they are delicious.  Truly.  (The video shows many other tips.)

020610 Grateful Frame 1
020610 Grateful Frame 3
Supplies: All 12 new Distress Inks – coming soon; Perfect Pearls Perfect Pearl color; Mini Mister; Silhouette (to cut title); Corner Chomper; Heart Punch from EK Success; Tombow Mono Dot Permanent Adhesive; EK Success 3-D Dots foam dots; Silhouette.

BTW, the punch in this video is wonderful – the little heart on the inside is just perfect.  (It seems to be hard to find, but it is in stock HERE.)

I also saw that the might Corner Chomper is in stock again HERE.  Yes, you do need to have this.  Trust me. ๐Ÿ™‚

150565_1000x1000 I also have been getting lots of questions about the new adhesive I love.  Be very careful – many of the Tombow adhesives look alike and have similar names.  But there is only one perfect one.  ๐Ÿ™‚  THIS is it.  (I show it in the video.)

Now… on to the cool offer and giveaway…

The other day, I shared my very-loved personalized stamp for putting on the back of cards.  It turns out a few of you went over and ordered one of your own, so the seller, Karissa of Kiss and Tell Cards, contacted me.  Turns out she is a big sweetheart and is offering 10% off stamp orders through the end of February if you mention “Jennifer McGuire, Ink.”   AND!  She said I could do a few giveaways.  WOOHOO!  So, I am going to do one today.  (Thanks, Karissa!  You know I will be ordering more. ๐Ÿ™‚

So, for a chance to win a personalized stamp of your own, just leave a comment here by Wednesday at 11:59pmEST recommending something to me.  (Movies, product, blog… anything.)  I will then pick a winner who will get to choose from these stamp designs from Kiss and Tell Cards...

I will be giving a couple more of these stamps away in the next week.  I just love them.

Have a great day.

    I have to recommend the book Water for Elephants. Just got done reading it and it’s the best book I’ve read in quite a while. Thanks for all of YOUR inspiration!!!

  2. Heather says:

    An absolute must have tool is the Zero centering C-thru ruler by Deja Views. Not only does it have the zero centering feature it also has a helps you make perfectly staright journaling lines and holes for perfect brad placement. All that and it’s under 5 dollars! Gotta love it! I would love to win- but even if i don’t- check out that ruler!!

    Thank you for always taking the time to make such great videos for us and for the info on the products you use!!! Your such an inspiration – I love seeing all of your products! Thoses new Distress Ink colors are gorgeous!!!! I can’t wait to use them!!! I probably can’t recommend anything that you haven’t hear of before, but the one that I think you might like is Flower Soft. It can be used in very small amounts but gives a project depth and a really nice softness. Adding it to the Hero Arts “Silhouette Grass Wood Mounted Stamp” comes to mind. Here’s the website http://www.flower-soft.us.com/index.php Thank you for all the generous giveaways too – those custom stamps look awesome!! Dolly ๐Ÿ™‚

  4. Heather says:

    That should be perfectly ‘straight’ journaling lines! sorry- bad typing

    Hi Jennifer,

    I have a “green” and money-saving recommendation ๐Ÿ™‚

    For a long time I used adhesive dots to pop things off my cards. One day I ran out and didn’t have time to go to the store for more. I ended up cutting 1 inch wide by 1 inch long strips of heavy scrap card stock from my recycle bin and then folded them in half. I glued these on the back of what I wanted to pop on my card with the folded edge facing to the outside. It works great! The other thing about this is, if you are putting it in the mail, it will lay flat inside an envelope so you don’t have to pay extra postage! Give it a try next time you need to “pop” something ๐Ÿ™‚

    Thanks for all the inspiration you give us. Your videos are so informative and fun to watch!

    blog (how about mine?!) http://tina-park.blogspot.com/
    movie: The Blind Side (oh my…SOOOOOOO good!!!) bring tissues
    DVD: get Season 1 of Glee – so great to have it on while scrapping!

    books: Rosie Dunne by Cecelia Ahern (who also wrote P.S. I Love You) the book is complete a compilation of emails, instant messaging, cards…but tells a whole story that’s fun to read. i was really pleasantly surprised by this one ๐Ÿ™‚

    I would love to make these for my daughter….

  11. Lori Turner says:

    Hi there! Love your blog & video demo! Thanks in advance & God bless!

  12. Scrap Happy says:

    I love what you did with the hearts, it’s beautiful with your picture. I really learn something new almost every time I visit your blob. You are soooo creative. As for something to share with you…I really enjoyed the latest copy of “tips & tricks” from Creating Keepsakes. It is stuffed full of great ideas for organizing your supplies. Sometimes I think I enjoy organizing my supplies as much as I do creating cards and scrap pages. Thanks for the chance to win a great stamp.

  13. Tonya says:

    Thanks for the adhesive suggestion! I’m so sad that mine is no longer available. I searched high and low for something that worked well for a lefty and thought I had the one, but now I’m off trying out new. I’ll have to check yours out!

  14. Neta says:

    I have been trying to decide if I should buy a corner chomper and you sealed the deal. Thanks! As for suggestions, if you are a reader, I recommend The Help. A friend of mine recently suggested the show, “Damages” with Glen Close. It is pretty intense but very well written with excellent acting. I caught up with the plot line by watching Season one on Hulu.com.

  15. Kristina says:

    If you loved the Kokuyo dot-n-roll adhesive that was discontinued in the US, I read on Cathy Z’s blog that you can order it online from a company in Japan. Here is the link http://www.jetpens.com/product_info.php/products_id/4836

  16. Joy Buss says:

    Hey Jennifer! Love your stamp nad ..yup, I need one for myself! Thanks! ๐Ÿ™‚ I discovered a company with great designs for card making. Amazing glitter!!! http://www.ecraftdesigns.com/index.php?categoryID=30&category_slug=new-in-the-gallery

    You never cease to amaze me. I always look at your blog to start off my morning! I hope to win, but I will just settle for the great ideas!

  18. Kim R says:

    I have to recommend the Glee soundtrack … it makes me happy during some nasty traffic and is fun to sing along to (and annoy my kids)!

  19. very good video ๐Ÿ™‚
    i want to recommend you a movie :), my husband a I like it so much, it’s “The Count of Montecristo”, it’s old and good ๐Ÿ™‚

    A couple of favorites…My family’s favorite fast food (for those busy days) is from Chipotle – awesome burritos and they use organic, hormone free meats and dairy. Another favorite is my Kindle from Amazon. The most used gift I have ever received – Love it. A favorite new TV show is The Good Wife (CBS)…we also love Criminal Minds and The Office.

  24. Cheryl Sue says:

  25. Rita Fuja says:

    I recently saw the coolest idea for storing buttons and so cheap too. It’s Ball Elite 8 oz jars. They are so cute and the perfect size for a bunch of buttons! Here’s the link to Dawn McVey’s video. http://dawnmcvey.typepad.com/these_are_a_few_of_my_fav/2010/01/a-birthday-card-a-button-video.html

  30. Amber Batty says:

    Ok so I already made a comment, but here is a recommendation: the Heart Punch from EK Success is on amazon for only 7.00 and yes I just ordered one! Your site is dangerous, making me want all sorts of stuff! ๐Ÿ™‚

    Hi, I recommend you come to Michigan and teach us what you know. I’d love to win one of those stamps!

  32. Mendi Yoshikawa says:

    Love your framed piece! I agree with someone else that said “Castle” is great! I also highly recommend “Cookie Dough Pop Tarts” as a tasty Midnight snack–They come out of the toaster like fresh, warm cookies all gooey inside. ๐Ÿ™‚

  33. Cyndi - Dreams Unltd says:

    Wooo hooo! Came here for the video and found a giveaway, too! Would love to win!

    Now to go back and watch the video.

    Thanks for all you do!

  34. Love your blog! Love your scrap room, I am in the middle of redecorating mine and you have some GREAT organization ideas in there.

    I desperately need that heart punch!!

  35. Cyndi - Dreams Unltd says:

    Oops! Forgot to leave my recommendation a couple minutes ago….

    I also highly recommend the Corner Chomper, and have you seen the other corner designs available in the Corner Chomper? Don’t know that I’d use most of them enough to justify the expense, but they’re pretty neat!

  36. Andrea S. says:

    Wow, I don’t know what I would recommend to the master of paper crafts. Oh, how ’bout Avojuice hand lotion. I keep this on my craft desk and use it each time I sit down. Love it!

  37. Brit S. says:

    I’m so in love with your stamp! I’m going to order one if I don’t win one ๐Ÿ™‚ I recommend reading “Kite Runner” if you haven’t already. It’s an amazing, emotional book. Thanks for the chance to win!

  38. Ruth Allmart says:

    I so need one of these stamps. Have you checked out Noell Hyman over on http://paperclipping.com. She has fabulous scrapbooking tutorials and also does a live show on Tuesday nights.

  39. cards4u says:

    If you are ever in Pittsburgh you should stop and see Stamp Fanci!! The owner is great and she was the one who told me about you : ) And I am loving your blog! Thanks for sharing so much great stuff!

  40. Clauda says:

    Hi Jennifer,

    I just recently discovered your blog and now keep coming back to get inspired. I absolutely love these stamps! Thanks for the giveaway.

    My recommendations: I love using the sketch pens with my Silhouette. I made a bunch of Christmas cards simply using those and then coloring the images with Prismacolor pencils. I think flowers come out nicely, too.

    As for books, I recently read “A reliable wife” and absolutely loved it.

  41. Anna says:

    I love your demonstrations, Jennifer! You are such an inspiration. Thanks for offering this amazing give-away, even if I live “down under” in New Zealand…!

  42. lisa says:

    Just to let you know – Michaels carries the heart punch. I’m in Alabama (the Birmingham area) and we have it. It’s on my list to purchase very soon!!

  47. Jazzy says:

    I just saw the movie Blind Side. Great movie, you have to see it. Thanks for sharing all of your ideas. Love the new colors in distress inks.

  48. Allie Gower says:

    I had to go and order one, of course. I have been needing something for the back of my cards and such.

    That being said, it doesn’t hurt to win one as well! It would make a lovely gift.

  49. Susan says:

    I have a tendency to get bored watching videos and rarely watch them all the way to the end.But I loved your photo with the heart mat. So I forced myself to start the video and I actually loved it! It was filled with great ideas and techniques that I had to take notes while I watched to the very end! Thanks for the great video.

    One suggestion I have is: When I cut out words and letters on my Silhouette, I run them through the appropriate sized Xyron afterwards to get the adhesive more evenly applied on the back to get a more consistently attached embellishment. Then just a little glue cleanup afterwards. For other projects I do love the Tombow adhesive runners.

    Also, where do we mail the cards for kids?

    Thanks for the opportunity to
