halloween Goodies

I am really getting into Halloween this year!!

This set Twick or Tweet, from Stampin' Up! is just too cute! I have used every image from it!
So about the card.....
I made the card base out of Basic Black CS, I layered it with Elegant Eggplant. Layered again with Basic Black and Whisper white... I stamped the pumpkin guy on a piece of Day and Night DSP ( LOVE IT ) and then I used my blender pen to color him with Pumpkin pie ink. I used Dimensionls to pop him up. I added a piece of day and Night DSP to the side of the white panel. i tied a piece of Basic Black grosgrain ribbon ( with a piece of eggplant ribbon ) around that panel. I added 2 black brads to the top. I stamped the words in Basic Black ink on the bottom of the center panel.
On the inside I added another piece of Eggplant cs so I could write in my card.

For the box...

I cut a piece of pumpkin pie cs to 4 1/4 x 11 I scored it at 3", 5", 8" and 10" then turned it and scored at 2" Basically it is a 2,4,6,8 box but not. lol I cut all my flaps and put it together. I stamped the bird from Twick or Tweet and colored him. i punched him out with the 1 3/8 punch, then I9 punched out a piece of black with the scalloped circle punch. i stamped the words and punched out with the designer label punch, and punched out a piece of basic black with the designer label punch to layer. I tied a piece of stripped Pumpkin pie ribbon around the box then attached the bird with dimesionals.

My Stampin' Up! story

My husband Mike and I married a little over 10 years ago, we had just moved close to his home town and I knew no one. As a wedding gift of sorts, one of his best friends wives wanted to help me make our invitations. We did most of it on the computer, but then we used these fancy scissors and a sticky pen and Embossing powder, Then this thing that should have belonged to a plumber to make the powder melt..... OH I was loving this!! So off the the craft store, I bought a rubber "thank you " stamp and 3 markers... I made my own thank you cards... all 100 of them using markers and a rubber stamp.

2 years later I was visiting my family over 500 miles away. My dad had given my husband a Boat. We went and while we were there my Sister in law invited me to a "Stamp Camp" We made a Birthday calendar. Each station had a different technique... and all these really cool rubber stamps and the ink.... I was in Heaven! It wasn't long and I was showing my mom, sisters and anyone else how to do the neat thing I just learned at each station. My Sister in law was quick on her feet, she knew I was leaving in the morning, so she gave me a catalog, and all the paperwork I would need to sign up, sense I was so far from her and I was so "great at helping others to stamp" . She told me all about this company that she sold for and all the fun things that go on. ALL the way home I talked to my husband about how much fun I had, I told him all about the neat stamps, and the Business opportunity. For 8 hours I talked about it. That Friday when we got paid my husband called to see what I was doing for the day, I told him how excited I was, I had just sent in my starter kit forms... he had no idea what I was talking about! MEN!!

I called the only person I knew in town and asked her to have a workshop.. I had never been to one, but they showed it on the video, so I knew I could do it. My first party was over $500!! I earned the Stampin' Start, and I only really knew 3 people in town, but that was soon to change! But I was just going to do enough workshops to pay for my new hobby...

Now almost 8 years later, I have 2 downline and LOTS of friends! I wouldn't know most of them if it wasn't for Stampin' Up! I still have never been to a Stampin' Up! workshop, besides my own! BUT I have so much fun, I LOVE to share what I love! and I am so blessed to have meet so many wonderful friends in person and online because of Stampin' Up!

Now more than ever I love my job! I have 4 boys, and if weren't for my Stampin' Up! business I would have to go outside my home to get a "real" job. What could be better than going to work playing with my rubber stamps and making wonderful gifts for friends, family and even strangers!

Oh and my husband has learned that he needs to pay attention when I am talking!


If you think you are ready to start your own Stampin' Up! business let me know, I would love to help you get started!

MDS cards

I have been busy all day playing with My Digital Studio from Stampin' up! Boy you are going to love this thing!! I made another album, and I just whipped up this card! The first photo is the card printed and then I added the REAL Old Olive grosgrain ribbon.

This next picture is the card in MDS, not printed with the "fake" ribbon.

I have been wanting to make this simple card sense I received my copy of MDS, but have been way to busy... and what do you know it only took me a few minutes to make! I could have had this done days ago! OH well...

So here are a few tips for you for printing your card at home, now mind you this is the first one I printed.

1. make sure you have your card stock of choice in the printer
2. select print
3. select advanced
4. select custom layout
5. move your margins to arrange the card in the preview window to how you want it to print
6. select Okay

You know can cut your card stock in half! add any additional embellishments to your card and you are done!!

If you are in Florence, Oregon on the 26th of Sept, please stop by between 1-5 pm for more great tips!

happy stamping,

Jennifer Jones

stampers group meeting

My stampers meeting was a little off yesterday.. We were supposed to meet in the evening, but sense my oldest boy had a home football game (they WON) we meet during the day. Bad thing about that is that meant there was only 3 of us, good thing is that they got lots of extra goodies from me!

We made this super cute basket, I got the idea, instructions and everything for this from Becky over at Inking Idaho. She is the greatest and always has wonderful Ideas! The only thing I did different was I used 6 ovals for each pumpkin. I made the pumpkin, used a piece of Close to cocoa for the stem, and attached it to the front of the pumpkin. Then I added one more oval, this way the pumpkin looks good from all sides and it gives it a little more depth.

The next thing we made was a card using the sweet centers stamp set from the mini catalog. I basically did the same card as Mike Funke . I used Tasty sweet 111698 $19.95 for this card. I stamped the candy corn randomly over the whole front, and I embossed it in white on the back of the black tag ( see pic below) I love this set! I just love how this turned out!

For our final card we made this cute little guy, I was a total card caser this week! But Hey why reinvent the wheel (or card) when someone already has made a perfect one??? So I got this idea from Lori Ames , she said she got it from someone else.... you know! anyway For this card I used Lovely lilac and Green Galore. I cut the lovely lilac 4 1/4 x 2 3/4 and then used my scissors to make that great hair do! For the eyes and nose use the 1 inch circle punch and punch out 2 Green Galore and 2 white circles. Cut both Green Galore circle's in half and sponge with Green Galore classic ink. Use the 3/4 inch circle punch for the black. Stamp Friend. Good. ( from the stamp set Smarty pants) in Lovely lilac on Franks head ( I have always wanted a reason to use that stamp!!) now assemble your monster. Once assembled you will need to make his mouth and scar. I used a Basic black stampin write marker, the bold tip for the mouth and scar and the thin tip for the stitches. Also you will want to use the Singlo pen for a highlight on his pupils.

Thanks so much for stoping by!
