Friday Favorites–Partridge and Pears, Good Greetings, and Blendabilities!
So, this post is supposed to be highlighting my favorite thing (since this is for the Friday Favorites over at the Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration design team blog) but man if I don’t have a heck of a time picking a favorite! It’s kind of like being asked to pick a favorite child. But there are a few things I’m loving right now in this card and so I thought that I’d just expend into my favorite things – plural – Partridge & Pears stamp set, Good Greetings stamp set, and of course, blendabilities!
This is one of the cards we made in Stamp Club this month and so we kept it simple for the coloring so that everyone could actually get all of their projects done before it was too late! I’m sure I’ll do another with the tree completely colored, but for now, I’ll let the bird get all the attention.
Tips for this card:
- Just because a line art image has lots of space to color, don’t feel like you have to do it all! Pick a few elements and let them shine by only coloring them.
- Extend your color palatte by using the Skin Tone Assortment of Blendabilities to color other things like this partridge’s wing and face.
- Use the Good Greetings hostess set to add a sweet sentiment to your holiday cards.
  NOTE – this stamp set is only available until Oct 31st to hostesses! Email me at jennifer@nwstamper.com to talk about earning yours!
- Tuck a piece of the Silver Baker’s twine just under the edge of the tree image for a little hint of glitz on your card for some subtle sparkle.
This stamp set just LOVES to be colored with the Blendabilities markers and it is so fun to do.
Seattle/Bellevue Folks – if you aren’t already signed up, you can come learn more about coloring with Blendabilities with my Technique Class on Tuesday 10/28! RSVP today!

Holiday Catalog Project Inspiration from the Fun n’ Crafty Stampers
I am so incredibly grateful for my Fun n’ Craft team of demonstrators. They are an awesome group of crafters and just overall wonderful people. In our group, we have Pam Wu who has started organizing card swaps for our team each time a new catalog comes out. We usually have a good amount of people participate and let me say… the cards are off the charts awesome! So today we thought we would do a little mini-blog hop to share them with you.
Here is my simple card that I swapped:
Tips for creating this card:
- The new Fall Fest stamp set makes this card quick and easy to create because the leaves and pumpkins are all part of the same set. Plus, with matching framelits, cutting them out is a snap! So, definitely grab the bundle and save 15% while you are at it.
- Use the same color ink as your card base for stamping the little leaves randomly all over the front of the card. This gives you a nice tone-on-tone look without being too busy or overwhelming your card.
- Cut out both pumpkins with the framelits and pop them up on dimensionals for dimension to your card while still keeping it super simple
  
  Use a small strip of the Burlap Ribbon to give it a real fall look.
And for the sentiment, I used the Host Special stamp set – Good Greetings!
This set is fabulous, especially for holiday cards and you still have time to get it free! Host a party (it can be in person or an online only party) or place a $300 order and you’ll get it free on top of your regular hostess benefits. Email me at jennifer@nwstamper.com if you would like to set something up so you can get it!
See more amazing Holiday Catalog samples here –
- Pamela Wu of Stinky Tofu
- Sara Grafton of 1200 Some Miles
- Angela McCormack of Stamp with Angela
- Jennifer Blomquist of Northwest Stamper <- YOU ARE HERE
- Stacey Lane of A Work of Carte
We had 4 more people participate in the swap (just for one reason or another, they weren’t able to participate in our little blog hop) , so I’ll be sharing their cards here on the blog tomorrow! I hope you can come back and join me!

Fall Pumpkin Curvy Keepsake Box
I LOVE the Curvy Keepsake box… it is like punch art in a box! I showed a quick pic of this project last week but I thought I would share a little bit more about how to make it today!
The base part of the box and the tag are all created using the pieces that come with the Curvy Keepsake box. And all it took was a few bits of stamping and inking and I suddenly had a pumpkin!
Tips for making this box
- AFTER you die cut out the pieces for the box but BEFORE you assemble them, stamp each side with the long skinny stamp from the Work of Art stamp set using the same color ink as the paper (I used Tangelo Twist from the new In Colors).
- Make sure when stamping you let some stamped images wrap onto the bottom of the box.
- To make the “stem”, I tapped my Early Espresso ink pad directly onto to the handles to make them a dark brown BEFORE pulling them through and making the box.
- Stamp and die cut the leaves using the Fall Fest stamp set and framelits and then adhere to the handle using liquid glue or glue dots.
I finished out my tag using the new hostess promotion set – Good Greetings. I just took the “Thankful for You” and only stamped the Thankful!
Now until Oct. 31, you will be able to earn an exclusive Good Greetings Stamp Set when your order reaches $300 – that’s in addition to the other benefits you receive ($50 in free product as hostess rewards plus you’ll get at least 7 punches towards a free stamp set from me as part of my Northwest Stamper Rewards program!) You can do this as a catalog party (where you share your catalog with friends and collect orders), a private class, a home party, an online/Facebook party, or just fill a lot of your wishlist in one big order! Email me at jennifer@nwstamper.com for more details.

Santa Boxes & More with the Curvy Keepsake Die
With the Holiday Catalog released yesterday, one of the things that you find with any catalog are those products that you see and think, “eh, sure that is cute enough but I can’t imagine really using it”. Well, I decided to go out on a limb and get one of those items – the Curvy Keepsake Box thinlit die. I thought it looked kind of interesting but I didn’t know if I would use it… turns out, it is going to be one of my most used holiday catalog purchases! So-many-cute-boxes-to-make!!! All thanks for Lynn Starzl for getting me hooked on the possibilities including this box:
This was the thank you gifts I made for my Stamp & Share event last weekend. I gave them to each presenter and inside the box were little variety packs of embellishments from the Holiday Catalog plus the Dazzling Details bottle with a tag made from the Curvy Keepsake Box die and one of the new All is Calm Snowflake embellishments. Here is what the die set looks like:
Curvy Keepsake Box die set
So when the Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration girls did Friday Favorite’s today, I knew what I was going to pick!
Tips for this project:
- You will need to cut two pieces of cardstock to make these boxes, use Fast Fuze or Sticky Strip to adhere them together to make sure you don’t have your box falling apart later!
- Do you embellishing and/or stamping on your box AFTER you cut out the shape but BEFORE you assemble your box
- Tie your handles together with a box so it is easy to get into and out of the box without cutting or ripping anything
- Use the magnetic platform to make sure your die doesn’t move when cutting out the box sides

** All orders through 9/1 using the hostess code PA6NRD4S will receive a FREE project kit with all the supplies you need to make one of those Santa boxes plus a cute Pumpkin box as well! Start shopping here **
