Foil Stamping and New Inks + Giveaway!

05.15.15

Hello!

Just wanted to pop in to let you know about a few fun things that are happening. And do a BIG giveaway!

FOIL STAMPING VIDEO

I am a guest today over on the Ellen Hutson blog HERE… showing more examples of adding foil to stamped images. (You can see my original video HERE.) I just adore these flower and “hello” sentiment stamps from Julie Ebersole. They look great with the DecoFoil!

To see the video, head on over to Ellen Hutson.

GIVEWAY

Ellen said that I could give away some of the products I used in the video! This is an awesome prize pack – a laminator, stamp set, adhesive and 3 packs of foil! For your chance, leave a comment here by 11:59pmEST on 5/19/15  telling me a bit of good news in your life. (The winner’s name will be randomly selected and posted on my “Winners page” after the giveaway closes. International folks are eligible, too!)

Check out this giveaway!

Good luck!

NEW ALTENEW INKS

My friends over at Altenew are releasing a new line of inks and are celebrating with a blog hop. The hop starts HERE at 9:00amEST today (5/15/15)… so be sure to check it out.

I am really excited to play with their new ink line… which are formulated to be perfect for stamp layering techniques. I wanted to do a video for you today showing how to use them… but I am honestly having trouble keeping up with it all at the moment! (Being a momma comes first here.) But I promise to show them to you in the future and get you some ink swatch downloads. 🙂 In the meantime, you can see the new inks HERE.

See you soon. Have a fabulous weekend. Audrey has prom this weekend and we are celebrating Lila’s 3rd birthday – can’t wait!

    Beautiful card. I love foiling. Thanks for the great giveaway. My good news is that the pollen count has dropped, so I can go outside again.

    I love this foiling technique. I bought the Deco Foils and Heidi Swapp foils and a Scotch laminator. I have not had any success with getting my results to look nice. I cannot figure out what I”m doing wrong – I’ve tried the toner ink, stamping with VersaMark Ink, and stamping with Deco Foil Transfer Adhesive. All results came out horrible. =(
    On a happier note, my 1st grader was recently evaluated and accepted into the Gifted and Talented Education program. =D

    First Jen let me say I love receiving your emails. Brings sunshine into my life each time I get them. My granddaughter Makenna is graduating from high school in June. This kit would be amazing to have then I could make a beautiful card for her. I am new to card crafting so this would be a great addition to have. 🙂

    My good news is that my daughter is having a garage sale today and so far the weather is cooperating — rain was forecast but so far so good.
    Would love to win the laminator. This foiling looks fun. I find the older I get the better I like shiny things. Guess I can see it better! Perhaps I am part raven. LOL
    Have a wonderful day. I hope you don’t have to read every one of these comments, although some are pretty interesting.

It was so great to see him and how grown up he has become. I look forward to the adventure of his life, as he truly becomes a man and member of society! Can’t wait for every step he takes!

    Thank you for the chance to win some great prizes. My good news is that I visited an orthopedic doctor for pain in my knee (after enduring pain and putting off the visit for a long time). He said I do not need a knee replacement surgery, which is a great relief. He gave me and injection and is sending me for PT. I am so thankful!

    Some many products so little time…. I have a random question about your powder tool. I notice you can shake yours a bit and powder comes out. I can barely get any powder out of mine. Did I miss doing something to mine when I first opened it. Just wanted to make sure because I have a hard time getting the powder out onto the paper.

    I’ve been wanting to try this process for a little while. I love anything that is shiny or glittery! My good news: my family is healthy! This past year we’ve had a few bumps in the road, so it’s nice not to have anyone in a boot, a cast, wheezing, sneezing or coughing!

    Oh golly” love your blog and giveaway. The Good News is I went to Georgia and drove my son and all his belongings back to California this May. Yay. 2600 miles. And thank the Lord we arrived safe and sound!!! Neither of us had pulled a trailer before so it was quite an experience. My husband was here taking care of the animals and working. We are home, safe , happy and full of thankfulness. Praise the Lord…..:)
