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!

    My good news is after two years of hard work, at a different college, my daughter was accepted into UMass Amherst, Honors College, as a Psychology major. She will also be a part of Minuteman Marching Band, and Symphony Band. This was a dream come true for her. She was originally rejected by UMass when she first applied. I am so proud of her achievements.

    Thanks for the opportunity to win!

    Thanks for the giveaway. I am on a weight loss journey and card making helps me a lot as it keeps my mind off mindless eating by keeping my hands busy. The good news is that i have lost 10% of my starting body weight, i still hv a long way to go but I am taking one day at a time and celebrating small milestones

    My good news is that as a new stamper, I have created and given greeting cards to my family and they absolutely love them. I am preparing to retire soon and hope to be a full crafter by then. Also, I have organized my working space using the easy and very well organized techniques I learned from watching your videos Jennifer. Thank you for being such an inspiration to be able to open new talents I was not aware that existed in me. Many blessings.

    I would have to say that my best news is having my daughter come to visit in the summer, I’m very excited to see her and she loves to stamp with me – so that’s always fun mom/daughter time 🙂 My 2nd thing, more that I’m thankful for, is that 3 people I know lost a parent in this past week and I’m lucky to still have mine with me. 🙂

    Jennifer,
    I left you a message on youtube under foil video, thought I’d put it here as well, see if you can help.

    My friend and I tried the laminator foil technique yesterday and ran into some problems, I wondered if you could help me figure out what was causing it, or if you had any similar trouble. We tried putting it through with 2 different weights of copy paper, then I tried it without any – was afraid it may cause a problem with machine, but was fine. (we double fed some as well) We found that once it went through, the foil had some wrinkles in it and there was no transfer of foil onto card stock in those areas. Like I said, we tried it a number of times with similar results…frustrating. Can you help?

    thanks,
    Amber
