In the Classroom DVD Giveaways!

01.20.11

Hello!

I am so very excited… the first two In The Classroom DVDs from Hero Arts are in stock now HERE and HERE!

CR001  CR002

There are two: Technique Garden (all floral images) and Hero Hues (all color driven). Both are packed with 18 card ideas, MANY tips and techniques and lots of stamping.

Want a few peeks?

INCLASS
Here is a video I did about the In The Classroom series. The product comes with a DVD with the videos and a CD with the handouts. You can easily buy all the same products or use products you have.

I did all the videos on these DVDs and really hope you like them. Even if you have seen all of the Hero Arts videos and all of my videos, I do believe you will still learn a lot!

If you are interested in buying them, click HERE and HERE.

And how about a giveaway!? Or two? Just leave a comment here by Sunday night sharing a crafty tip and I will pick a lucky winner for Technique Garden and a winner for Hero Hues.

Happy stamping…

    Hmmm. A crafty tip? I keep wet wipes that are not super dirty and dry them so I can dry my work surface more quickly after wiping it down. Also, I like to stick white office labels to my ink pad and then ink them so it’s clear what color the ink is.

    A peg board is a wonderful, low cost, easily customizable option for storage in a craft room.

    Looking forward to the DVDs, I need all the help I can get. As my favorite crafty tip… use copic markers to color white pearls when a particular color of pearl is not available.

    Thanks for sharing your know-how with us, Jennifer. My tip is this: If you want to experiment with new techniques try ATCs. They are small, do not require a lot of product and you won’t feel bad about discarding them if you’re not happy with the results. I keep them as a reference when I need to remind myself of techniques I haven’t used in a while or for getting the creative juices flowing.

    Wow, what a great opportunity to win! My crafty tip is: when wrapping presents (boxes or bags) and you run out of tissue paper. Take card stock, run it through the shredder, crumple up the strips and use it to fill you boxes and bags. Also works great for baskets as filler/grass!

    A lump of Blu Tac on the end of a pencil works a treat or picking up those tiny beads etc your fingers can’t manage (and so much more hygienic than licking your finger lol). I’d love to win one of these DVD’s please. Love your videos.

    Wow! Thanks for the chance to win these videos.
    My tip is this: after you have die cut something out of cardstock, keep that leftover negative shape and use it either as a stencil, or you can use that outside edge to cut out a tag for your next card. This way I almost never throw away any cardstock.

    I have several crafty secrets to share. The first is to always keep your studio organized. There is nothing worse than to run into your studio to make a needed card and you have to dig out your work space before you can begin.

    My second crafty secret is to make 2 of each card you create. You can save one for later when you are rushed. Don’t have enough supplies for a second card? Make an ATC!

    I love watching the videos online it is like having a private lesson. I would LOVE to win one of the DVD’s.

    My tip is: Keep the short bits of ribbon you trim off after making bows etc and use 2 little pieces as little embellishments tucked behind photo mats with 1/4 or 1/2 inch sticking out and trimmed at an angle or stapled to the top of a tag etc. Amazing what a great effect these little bits can have.

    My crafty tip is to use a wooden block such as the back of a rubber stamp to flatten the prongs on the back of brads. It makes the layer of card stock the brad is on much flatter! Would love to win one of your DVDs. Thanks for the opportunity to win!

    Thanks for the chance to win! My craft tip is to re-use bubble wrap on cards and layouts. You can use the clear type for clouds or the pink type to cut or punch out heart shapes. It gives an added dimension to your creativity!

    Wow. SO many tips. Grate.

    Thanks for the chance to win those DVDs. I love your videos, and for classes ………hm when do you come in Germany?

    My tip: try to use all your stamps. I buy sets of stamps, but I never used all the stamp from one set. So I challenge my self to use the other stamps which, some how, are not so interesting or I have no idea how to use. The results are amazing. Just try it.

    Just lover watching the videos. Just like a private lesson.
    My tip is: when stamping, stamp several images, die cut shapes and make up several card kits. That way when you need a card in a hurry or you go craft at a friends house you can just pick out a kit and you are ready to quickly make up the card and just add embellishments.

    Hiya! Thanks for the opportunity to win one of these. I´ve been dying to go to one of your classes, but it is a bit difficult as I live in Spain 🙁
    Anyway, my crafty tip would be to use different scissors for paper, ribbon and sticky stuff, that way your scissors would stay sharp longer and cut perfectly;)

    hey jennifer..thanks for giving a chance to win this lovely candy…id so love to learn different techniques..Im from India and card making here is at a very nascent stage so we do not have much supplies but that doesnt stop me…My crafty tip is to use wedding invitations leftovers as patterned papers, i started embossing keeping metal coins below the paper and then going over it with a rolling pin used to make breads…until i got my cuttlebug…I also use a lot of packaging to get corrugated cardboard..

    Thank You for the chance to win. Since I live in the UK I am not able to attend your classes…
    My crafty tip is to use left over scraps of card and paper that might get thrown away for embellishments. Punch out shapes, flowers are good, and make them into embellies for your projects and next time you need something it’s already there to use!

    my tip is: when cutting dies cut more then you need at the time. then they will be ready to use when ever you need them.

    then store them neatly in envelopes.
    and lable the envelope and store them
    m in a box. label that too.

    i did not do this and now am finding them all over. i wish i had been better organized in the past.

    Those DVDs look awesome! Well done Jennifer! My tip is to always stamp at least two of each image that you are colouring and colour both at the same time. This saves time if you need to duplicate a card or need to put one together in a hurry.

    My crafty tip is if it can’t be spied with my little eye then it needs to be in something with a LABEL! I can find things quickly when it’s in a container, drawer etc that states the kind of supply in there. The moment I place an item where it doesn’t belong or forget to place an item, it goes to a long lost abyss and I end up spending way too much time trying to find that now needed supply! Your tutorials are awesome 🙂 I’m so glad that there are now DVD’s we can buy.

    I love your blog and visit it daily! My crafty tip is to be organized and to continue to organize as you craft your way through your world. My latest is to put my scraps in color families in an easy to grab location and I am excited to use more and more of those scraps. Once a year, I go through all the scraps and my paper stash (which is LARGE) and re-organize them, put in the Kid Craft box or toss them. This allows me to reaquaint myself with things I have, stay neat (as neat as one can be) and use my purchases.

    Oops! My crafty tip is to watch every Jennifer McGuire video that you can:). One other: Buy or print out the Copic Marker Color flyer, and use your markers to color over the name of the color every time you add a new marker to your collection. When you have the chance to buy new markers, you won’t duplicate colors, and you’ll be able to choose colors that will blend well together, and work with what you already own.

    I can’t wait to watch these DVDs! My tip is to not give up after your first try at something new. If it doesn’t look exactly the way you thought it would at first, don’t be afraid to try it again. It just may end up being your new favorite technique!

    Since I am pregnant with my second right now, there is no way I can travel to your classes so one of these videos would definitely help me.
    My crafty tip is that I use all the junk envelopes that come in the mail that have cool backgrounds. I use distress ink on them, dry emboss them & they look lovely.
    Thanks for the giveaways.

    I loved your Thinking Inking Classes & recomended them to a friend who’s new to stamping. She’s hooked by the way. Favorite tip; I keep a basket near me and as I’m working I put stickers and paper there when I’m done. Then I just take the basket & return the product to their storage areas. Thanks for the opportunity to win.

    HI, Jennifer! My best tip is to assign and label a color to hanging file folders and store all my paper scraps by color. When making cards or scrapbook pages it is so nice to be able to go straight to the “red” file and flip through the shades of red to find just what i need. Most of the time i can find something just perfect that i already have!

    Jennifer, I love the DVD idea! My crafty tip is to use the Fiskars finger scissors to cut out stamped images. Up until about 2 weeks ago, I was using scissors or an x-acto knife. Wow – I am IN LOVE with the finger scissors – they make my life so much easier. Every stamper should have a pair!!! Thanks for the daily inspiration you give and I’m loving the Hero Hues stuff!!!!
