  • Spooky Fun Halloween Treat Bag–A Quick and Easy Idea!

    Spooky Fun Halloween Treat Bag–A Quick and Easy Idea!

    Well, I don’t know about you, but turns out the end of summer and the start of the school year is actually a really busy time of year.  Who knew?!  (Probably about a billion parents out there, but this one was obliviously unaware how as your kids grow out of toddlerhood, things get crazier, and not calmer).  Smile

    imag1009

    Well, now that we are finally settling back in our routines, I figured it was time to dust off the ol’ blog because boy oh boy, I’ve been creating some fun projects that I can’t wait to share with you.  We are crafters, creating is fun… sharing with people who understand crafting is even more fun!

    First off, I’m also going to let folks know that I’m also getting back into sharing with my newsletter too!  In fact, later today I hope to have my next one out with a NEW free project tutorial, Holiday Catalog Product Sampler details, and more!  So, if you aren’t already on the list, make sure you get signed up today – get on the list here.

    Secondly, since I haven’t mentioned it here before, if you didn’t know… the Stampin’ Up Holiday Catalog went live this month.  There are so many awesome bundles and cute projects in there, that you totally should check it out.  If you have ordered from me in the last year, you should have gotten a copy mailed to you already.  If you didn’t get your copy, or would like a copy and don’t have a demonstrator you already order with, just let me know at jennifer@nwstamper.com and I’ll get you all set up!

    Alright, want to see a project using new Holiday Catalog goodies?  Well, let me share with you one of the projects I created for my Northwest Stamp & Share demonstrator event at the end of August.  This was an event with 60+ demonstrators from the Northwest area where we share inspiration, business ideas, and just formed more community bonds.  It was great.  Well, I created 4 make & take projects including this one:

    I used the Petite Cafe Bags from the Annual catalog as my base bag.  They are cute and easy, plus they are food-safe on the inside so you can drop in any treat you have.  Plus you can stamp on the front like I did with the pumpkins from the Spooky Fun stamp set from the Holiday Catalog.

    Then it is just a matter of making the front cute too!  I just used a couple pieces of paper and a stamp set and it turned out like this!

    I had one of the new Halloween Night designer paper pieces that I cut into a 1 1/2″ strip and punched the end with the Banner Triple punch.  Then I cut a 2″ strip of Pumpkin Pie cardstock and stamped fun halloween faces from that same Spooky Fun stamp set before punching the end with that same Banner Punch.

    TIP: When making a background design with those halloween faces, put all three on the clear block at the same time and then you can treat it like one bigger stamp for faster stamping.

    Adhere everything to the front of the bag and then wrap a long length of the Halloween Night baker’s twine around the top and tie a bow for a cute final touch.

     

    And while this is fun as a Halloween back, you could easily change up the stamp set and the pattern paper to make it a Christmas or Birthday treat back.  Think about what event you need a treat bag for and use the same layout and it will be perfect for any occasion!

    What a busy but great first day here at Convention!  It was all about NEW and the NEW Holiday Catalog!  From the very first session as they revealed the upcoming catalog to fun throughout the day as we learned, stamped, and got new ideas based on some the great stuff coming out in September.

    So here is your daily recap!

    We started out by checking out the Convention Center and getting the CUTE convention bag this year.  I think it is my favorite yet!

    2015-07-23 08.45.48

    As we were waiting in line, we spotted one of the staff in the blinky sparkly outfits which meant if we said hello and played his game (name the cardstock color) we won prizes!

    2015-07-23 09.24.36

    Of course we rocked it… most of the gals got logo travel purses/badge holders – which they were really excited about, and a few of us got ribbon spools. WINNING!

    2015-07-23 09.28.28

    And btw – doesn’t everyone look great in our team shirts?  This is our Fun n’ Crafty  crew representing at Convention! The bright blue clumps of people made it SOOO much easier to find each other Smile

    2015-07-23 17.19.18-2

    Finally we were let in and we got to see main stage.  Seriously people, the décor is so fab this year!

    2015-07-23 11.46.35

    They started out with the “Daily Share” which essentially was a 2 hour long new holiday catalog reveal party led by Bonnie Farley, Brian Piling, and Carrie Cudney

    IMG_0371

    I will say though, one of my favorite little clips was of Brian aka “Quick and Easy” trying to go out on the streets with a Quick and Easy Card Project on a cart randomly asking people if they wanted to make a quick project with him.  I’ll say, that man has way more guts than me! Smile

    2015-07-23 10.29.35

    2015-07-23 10.31.34

    Different this year was that most of the catalog reveal was showing a completed project or two as someone talked about their favorite new item in the catalog or how they would share the catalog with others.  So, mostly, lots of photo ops of cute new stuff.

    Like new stamps, red pom pom trim, new festive buttons…. 

    2015-07-23 10.42.40-2

    New specialty designer papers, new word thinlit dies!!!

    IMG_0376

    And even more dies!  Many of the new stamp sets in the catalog now have coordinating dies so you can easily cut out and create neat layered projects.

    There is also a new Precision Plate for the Big Shot that they say will help you eliminate the need for wax paper with your intricate dies.  GREAT concept!  I get to play with it today so I’ll keep you posted on what I discover after playing with it.

    2015-07-23 10.55.16

    Who loves this die?!

    2015-07-23 10.55.32

    And finally we got our copy of the holiday catalog too!

    2015-07-23 13.56.52

    Here is a better picture, with the more important part in focus Winking smile

    2015-07-23 14.07.58-2

    Then it was time to head to lunch, classes, and the Gathering Place where there were lots of samples and all the products in the Holiday Catalog on display for us to check out.

    Kicked off the party with the Interim CEO Sara Douglas

    2015-07-23 12.07.33

    Even the décor for some of the Make & Takes put you in the festive spirit

    2015-07-23 16.10.49

    PSST – Those deer are from some of our upcoming designer paper!  Love the vintage!

    2015-07-23 15.36.43

    More vintage sneak peeks with this cute tag we made – check out the striped satin ribbon, the santa cut out from patterned paper, and the Pointsettia button!

    2015-07-23 16.06.52

    Then it was back to the Gathering Place for more relaxing and checking out boards.

    IMG_0394

    This is the stamp set and matching framelit that I HAVE TO HAVE!  This WILL be coming to my house in August when I can preorder it. Smile 

    2015-07-23 16.21.32

    New kits were out…totally doing these shaker cards as a class!

    IMG_0397

    And lots more:

    Finally it was time to grab some dinner and then get gussied up for Awards Night and the Roaring 20’s after party.  Monica Van Tassel from our Fun n’ Crafty group was extra crafty and MADE us all feather headbands to wear.  How fun is that??

    2015-07-23 18.50.47

    They kicked off the party with a neat dance show by some local dancers

    IMG_0446

    Then Sara got things started recognizing so many demonstrators for their outstanding achievement this last year.  Let me just say, a lot of people had AMAZING years!

    IMG_0459

    Then it was time to party!

    2015-07-23 23.31.07

    2015-07-23 23.00.35

    They had food, a live band, and event dance lessons.  Of course, Mom, Beatie, and I had to arrive in style Smile

    IMG_0465

    IMG_0467

    IMG_0472

    IMG_0474

    Then we headed back to our hotel where Liz had brought some wine so we had late night happy hour in her room.  So, more fun socializing and discussing our have-to-haves from the upcoming catalog and preorder!

    2015-07-23 22.44.36

    2015-07-23 22.08.52

    2015-07-23 22.09.04

    All in all, a great day!  Make all the better by the wonderful people I was with!  Now off to get going for Day 2! 

    I’ll see you over on Facebook for more real time updates throughout the day!

  • 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!

    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! Smile

    See more amazing Holiday Catalog samples here –

    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!

    (PS – I have some very special project kits using the Curvy Keepsake box that I’ll be sending out to anyone who orders from me using hostess code PA6NRD4S through 9/1!)

    But I don’t want to just tell you that the catalog is here… how about I share a project made from the catalog as well?

    This card uses a lot of new products from the holiday catalog and actually comes together really easily!  I was inspired by a card created by Rita Wright for this sample. 🙂

    Tips for making this card:

    • Use the new Stars mask from the Annual catalog and sponge over Smoky Slate cardstock with Whisper White craft ink.  I recommend using a Sponge Dauber because it helps your ink go on very solidly and smoothly.

    • When using a mask, make sure you “daub” – just tap down over the mask!  If you try to rub side to side, you risk bending up part of your mask and/or getting ink under the outline shape you want to be coloring.
    • Add some faux stitching with your white gel pen around the edge of the card to keep all those stars in Smile
    • Use the new stars embossing folder from the Holiday catalog to emboss some Real Red cardstock for your banner to tie into the masked stars
    • The Festival of Trees stamp set is AWESOME because (1) there is a PUNCH to match the tree!  And you know I’m a sucker for punches.  And (2) because this is a photopolymer set, you can stamp your main tree image in green & brown, and then it is super easy to stamp the red ornaments in the holes.  Seriously!!  I thought it was going to be a pain to line up but it was cake.  Ahhh, sometimes photopolymer is exactly the right way to go!

    So if you are thinking at all about holidays (halloween, fall, Hannukah, Christmas, etc) check out the Holiday Catalogand have fun!

    Shop online here & don’t forget!
    Use hostess code PA6NRD4S through Labor Day and I’ll be sending out adorable Santa and Pumpkin project kits using the new Curvy Keepsake boxes to everyone who orders.  I’ll have a peek at those tomorrow!

  • Samples from the Stamp & Share

    Whew!  What a fun but busy weekend.  I’m working on getting everything together for my Tuesday Technique Night on Blendabilities so I thought I would share a few of the awesome ideas that were on display at the Stamp & Share this weekend!

    If you didn’t catch what this event was, it was a demonstrator event that I’ve been putting together where we can get together and share ideas, stamping techniques, projects, and just have a great time with fellow demonstrators.  For this event we had two stamping presentations:

    Stacey Lane showed us how to make CUTE ornaments using the Simply Pressed clay and our stamps!

    2014-08-23 13.33.39

    And Kathy Thisted shared tips and information on Blendabilities.

    2014-08-23 13.56.04

    And of course there were lots of samples to look at as well.

    These were some of the cards in the card contest for the event:

    2014-08-23 16.36.44-2

    And more ideas on display including a canvas from Ikea colored with Blendabilities (did you know this started out as Black and White from the store??)

    2014-08-23 16.38.23

    A fun card using the Banner punch created by Karen Trainer:

  • Last Day for this Super Cute Snow Day Set!

    It is true, today is the LAST DAY of the Holiday Catalog and inevitably, there is a stamp set that I stare at in the catalog, love all the samples I see, and I keep putting it on my orders and then taking it off again because “I’m being good.”  Then by the end of the catalog, I’m starting to regret not getting it… this time, that stamp set is Snow Day.

    I keep seeing such cute things done with this snowman and I knew I wanted to play with him myself.  Thankfully this year I was in luck and a couple weeks ago, my mom decided she needed it too… so she ordered the set and I was able to borrow him for a little bit.

    Isn’t he so fun??!

    The body of the snow man is one stamp and then the face, hat, arms and scarf are all separate stamps, so you can change it up each time.

    Or if your snowman is ready to go on vacation after a long, cold winter… how about this:

    Created by Debbie Moczek

    That makes me smile everytime!  All it takes is a couple extra punches (Wide Oval and Bitty Punch Pack) and your snowman is doing the hula!  (that bikini is the snow hat!)

    So, if you have any stamp sets or accessories you have been debating, check your catalog one more time and make your final decisions by 11:50 MST tonight and pick them up in the online store or let me know at jennifer@nwstamper.com.

  • Happy Holiday Catalog Day! Lots to Share Today…

    If you can believe it, August is here and that means summer is winding down (and some kids are even gearing up to go back to school!) and everyone is starting to put out their holiday best so you have plenty of time to be prepared this year!

    So, to help you get ready with you teacher gifts, halloween treats, Christmas cards, and more; the Stampin’ Up! holiday catalog is launching today as well as I’m kicking off my Holiday Catalog Product Samplers too.

    There is seriously so much good stuff in there this year that when I went to do my Convention Roundup event this week and share my new holiday catalog goodies as well, I was amazed to discover my entire kitchen island was filled with Holiday catalog items!  And I’m so excited to play with all of them. Smile 

    Like the new Festive Flurries Snowflake stamp set and Framelits (available in a discounted bundle) and Expression Thinlits

    The new stamp and punch set bundles (yep, at a discount!) Tags 4 You + Bracket Punch, and Christmas Collectables + Ornament Punch.

    Undefined Create your own stamp set kit, Divided 8×8 Album with matching Tags(!), the Bow Maker Die, and a cute set of little treat bags that come together super quick for any event.

    The new Banner Kits which I didn’t think much of, but after Convention where I saw them using the stencils on the new Muslin bags, cards, etc.  It became a much more versatile and exciting set.

    Simply Sent Christmas Cards are great, but I LOVE the new Envelope Liners Framelits!!!  Everyone who came to my Convention Roundup got to try them out and loved the great finishing effect they had on their cards.

    Plus there is the new Simply Created Table Setting Kit which, again I didn’t think much of, but at convention, they showed it used as a mini-scrapbook album which I thought was super clever!

    And of course, my absolute favorite things of all – Paper and Accessories (love those Frosted Finishes snowflake embellishments)!

  • Last Day for Stamps Like on this Snowflake Thank You

    Day 2 of the new year, and with the new year means more new things!  So, to get ready for the NEW Spring Catalog, that means it is the LAST DAY for some of our favorites from the Holiday Catalog and more promotions!  So, I just wanted to give you a chance to check out and make sure you didn’t have something on your list that was going away tomorrow.

    Don’t Miss These Items (last day to order 1/2/2012) –

    Single Stamps

    Stampin’ Up! was trying out offering some extra single stamps as well as allowing you to pick and choose the stamps you wanted from a couple different sets.  They haven’t told us demonstrators how the trial went so I don’t know if they will continue to offer full sets broken up, but just in case not – here is what is available:

    imageimageimageimageimage

    I love that some of them match the punches too… like this cool Bold Snowflake stamp.

    The Holiday Catalog

    So, the Holiday Catalog ends today as well.  And though some of the items will still be available to purchase during the Spring Catalog period, there are some awesome things that are going away.  Here are my top 5 that are no longer going to be available:

    1.  Early Espresso and Cherry Cobbler Core’dinations Cardstock

    2.  Champagne Glimmer Paper

    3.  Frosty Friends snowman stamp

    4.  Mitten Builder Punch

    5.  Festival of Prints designer series paper stack

    I really hope some of these come back in the next Annual catalog but there is no guarentee.  So, if you are like me and can’t get enough bling (sigh… champagne glimmer paper) or love those cutie patootie snowmen…. grab these while you can.

    check out the holiday catalog items in the online store here

    Holiday Packaging Bundles

    These were great for the holidays but some – like the gussetted bags with tags would be cute at any time!  So, if you are looking for some easy gift packaging, these may be for you.

    So check them out and don’t miss out!

    I’ll be back tomorrow with all the deets on the new Spring Catalog and my first project share from the new catalog… and Spring Catalog Product Samplers!!
    (I’ll have paper, ribbon, and embellishment samplers for you)

    In the meantime, if you need anything that is going away today, let me know asap at jennifer@nwstamper.com or shop online now to grab them while they are still here.

    See you tomorrow!
