My new Facebook page – SU display boards and a Fan Special deal

While I work on writing up blog posts for some projects I’ve done recently, I wanted to share my recent labor of love – a new Facebook page.  I’ve set up a page on facebook at a place to share pictures, promotions, and make it easy for others to share their projects as well.  I’d love for you to check it out.  Right now it has a couple photos posted that will be making their way onto the blog soon but you can get an early look by visiting my Facebook page.   I’ve also posted photos of more convention display boards on the page as well.

While you are there, become a fan to be eligible for special deals and get samples and information as it comes out.  Once I have 25 fans, I can make the web address for this page much easier to find; so I’d love it if you were willing to be my fan.

Find your favorites with Designer Paper and a massive Ribbon Share

Now that you’ve had a chance to see the new catalog, you’ve probably noticed there are lots of fabulous new papers and ribbons available.  If you are like me, you have a hard time choosing which pack of paper or which spools of ribbon to get, especially without seeing it in person.  Well now is your chance to get it all without spending it all!  I’m offering DSP and ribbon shares to allow folks to try a little of everything.

DSP Share

In the DSP share, you will get a 6×6 double sided piece of every new basic and specialty DSP paper in the catalog (not including the prints packs).  Instead of spending over $160 to play with all the new designs, this share will get you a big enough piece to use in multiple projects for only $25 shipped priority mail to you.  Email me at stampingwithjennifer@gmail.com to reserve your spot.

This share includes the following papers:

Blueberry Crisp	Celebrations	Elegant Soiree	Greenhouse Gala
Jolly Holiday	Lap of Luxury	Love Letters	Newsprint
Nursery Suite (die cut paper)	Pawsitively Prints 2	Play Date	Presto Patterns (white gloss on white)
Sunny Garden	Sweet and Sour (glossy paper)	Wicked Fun (flocked paper)	Woodland Walk

Ribbon Share

With the ribbon share, I’m offering 3 options:

1.  I want it all! – Get 1-1.5 yards of every ribbon in the catalog (the crochet ribbon would be .5 yds).  That is enough ribbon to let you experiment with all of the different colors and textures on a number of cards and projects.  Shares are $65 shipped priority to you, which is a savings of over $550 if you bought them all new!

2.  In Color share – Get 3 yards of the 1/2” Poly Stitched Ribbon in each of the 5 In Colors.  Shares are $10 plus shipping

3. 1/8” Taffeta share – Get 2 yards of the 1/8” taffeta ribbon in all 13 colors in the catalog.  Shares are $16 plus shipping

If you are interested in multiple shares I will happily combine shipping.  Contact me today at stampingwithjennifer@gmail.com to reserve you spot!

As a bit of a punch junkie, one of the items I had to order was the new Itty Bitty Shapes punch pack.  That’s right, punch PACK… where you get three small punch shapes that not only coordinate with a stamp set but also with some new clear Bitty Buttons.  How cool is that?!?  I’ll be pulling those out to play with this week.  So, while I’m working on some samples to share with you all, I wanted to also share some cool promotions going on this month.

Craft Fair #2 – Jantzen Beach, Portland, OR

Last winter, I set up a table at my first ever craft and vendor fair.  It was a holiday fair and I spent a lot of time preparing craft items I thought would be great for the holidays.  Unfortunately, somewhere between the bad weather and the slightly hidden location, attendance was low and so it turned in to all the vendors shopping each others table. 🙂  I did come away from that fair with some yummy orange cranberry bread, though.  Now, its spring time and I decided to give craft fairs another go.  This time, it is a 3 day affair in the local Jantzen Beach shopping mall. I’ll be here till 9pm Friday, all day Saturday, and 9am to 6pm on Sunday! Whew!   If you are in the area, I’d love to have you stop by and say hello!

 

This craft and vendor fair benefits the charity New Chances.  New Chances offers support and services to women and families in crisis and this fair is helping them support 12 families for Easter.   So, it is a pretty cool thing.  There is a carousel in the food court, tons of fun vendors, and a great cause we’re supporting.  

 

I’ll be offering specials to folks who visit me at the fair and have a drawing for a free workshop.  Check out the  flyer for a list of the participating vendors and a coupon for a free raffle ticket. 

Mom and Me stamping class this Saturday

While I work on getting pictures taken and up from my most recent project, I thought I would mention here on my blog my next class which is happening this weekend in downtown Portland.  I’m hosting a Mom and Me event where you and your child (or you and your mom or you and your inner child), can come do some stamping techniques together.  I’ll have a few cards/projects available for you to do together and in a fun family setting.  Cost is $12 per family or $8 for individuals.  I’d love to have you join our group for this event!  Email me to save your spot!

And for those of you from far away who can’t make it, I promise to post pictures after the fact. 🙂  Craft from home at the same time and it will be like tele-crafting. 

 

Also, don’t forget you only have a couple more weeks left of Sale-a-bration time!  Every $50 you spend equals an extra stamp set, ribbon, or paper pack. 

 

Like free stamps?     Right now, I’m offering the next 3 people who book a workshop will get a free stamp set on the day of your show.  Yep, its free just for hosting!  Contact me today to take advantage of this special offer!
