  • Game Day & a Superbowl Special!

    You may have heard that there is little football game happening today…. Smile  It’s Superbowl Sunday!

    And all around Seattle here the town has been transformed into Blue and Green; even the construction cranes are flying the 12th man Seahawks fan flags!

    Lots of folks have been using the Undefined sets to create their own custom Seahawks stamps

    seahawks stamps using undefinedand making awesome decorated treat bags for their game day parties!  (These use the Twisted Treats bags and tags that you can get free out of the Sale-a-Bration catalog)

    Seahawks twisted treats goodie bags

    So, to get in the spirit of game day, I’m putting together a last minute game day special!

    Stampin’ Super Bowl Special!

    Place your order by emailing me at jennifer@nwstamper.com or shop online and use the Hostess code 3DWH3NCF before the game ends this evening to be eligible for the Super Bowl special!

    How it works:

    If the Seahawks win –

    You will receive a coupon for free shipping on your next purchase with me!  Plus a little bonus goodie in the mail with your thank you card. Smile 

    If the Broncos win –

    You will receive a coupon for 5% off your next purchase with me!

    See, either way you win, but you don’t know exactly what you will get until the game is over!  I’ll be watching the game and you know I’ll be cheering for the hawks!  But for all you Broncos fans… good luck!

  • Hand Carved Flowers with my First Undefined Stamp

    Today over on Stampin’ Stylin’ Inkspiration, we are playing with the Undefined hand carved stamp kit that Stampin’ Up! released during the 2013 convention.  It is always fun to see what other people create because I know… it sounds super hard or tedious.  But it’s easier than you think! 

    Check out what I created as my first stamp while at Convention:

     

    And with that I created this card:

    Yay!  I love it!

    I kept my card simple today by just using different 2012-2014 In-Colors and stamped solid image flowers on the white background paper.  That seemed a little bright so I covered it with Vellum to soften the look.  Then I added some rhinestones to the corners to cover where I used glue dots to hold down the vellum.

    Then for the sentiment, I grabbed my Four Frames stamp set and Petite Pairs sentiments and created the central image.  Add an accent of the same hand carved flower that I colored in with markers and POP!  some fun color and images that I can call MY OWN.  Smile

    If you are curious what comes in the Undefined kit, check out everything you get:

    You get:

    • Sample stencil images
    • 4 wood blocks
    • Enough raw rubber for all 4 blocks
    • Enough foam adhesive for all 4 blocks
    • 2 carving tools (skinny and wide)
    • Island Indigo marker
    • 3 postcards

    All for only $19.95!  Your own personal stamp set with tools to make more for $20.

    Anyway, I thought it was a ton of fun and can’t wait to make more.  And to help folks see how much fun it is, I’m holding a class where you can make your own personal stamp – a try before you buy idea – using my tools and your ideas.  Check it out in October if you’d like to join me.

    So, give it a try.  Or think about it, and for now, just try out the fun ideas I used on this card today.  Smile
