Love Life ~ A Fun Stampers Journey Card

Today I'm sharing the card I made from yesterday's live Stamp Off with my friend Glenda.

Love Life ~ A Fun Stampers Journey Card

Today I have an "old-fashioned" card to share with you that was inspired by Try Stampin' on Tuesday's sketch challenge #363.

A LIVE Stamp Off, the Bloom Box and Spring into Summer New Mini with Fun Stampers Journey

Today I want to share a few things with you...
First I will be doing something (almost) new the we are calling a Stamp Off.  We did this one time already shortly after we both joined FSJ and we thought why not give it a try again!

Who do I mean by "we"?  My upline Glenda Calkins and of course me!  
What is a Stamp Off?  Well let's just say it's a challenge that we are going to be doing live.  The only thing we know is that we will be using the ATS stamp Scenic Route and also a sketch that we picked.  Other than that it will be ON THE SPOT stamping...yikes!  
After yesterday's post you guys know that ideas in my head don't always turn out on paper! lol  We'll have to see what happens with that!!  
Join me on my Facebook business page Simply Sara Stampin' to see what I create!  You'll need to like my page to get the notification when I go live.  It will be this Thursday, April 5, at 10:00 am (EDT).

Second I want to share this month's Bloom Box.  Let me tell you it is GORGEOUS!!  If you'd like to purchase this month's Bloom Box I suggest you do it as soon as possible since this one IS most likely going to sell out!

And last but not least FSJ's Spring into Summer Mini is out with lots of great new product.  You can check it out HERE or I have a pic to the right of my blog that you can click on.

Spread Happiness ~ A Fun Stampers Journey Card

Today's card is inspired by the technique challenge over at Try Stampin' on Tuesday.  This month's technique is embossing...dry embossing or heat embossing.  

Spread Happiness ~ A Fun Stampers Journey Card

I LOVE this month's Bloom Box from Fun Stampers Journey!

Birthday Song ~ A Fun Stampers Journey Card

Today's card is created using this month's Bloom Box called Birthday Song.

Later, Gator ~ A Fun Stampers Journey Card

I'm happy to say my blog construction is done and I like how it turned out! :)
Now onto today's card that I created for my nephew's birthday.

Hello Sunflower ~ A Fun Stampers Journey Card

Today I have two cards to share with you that I created with Try Stampin' or Not on Tuesday's sketch challenge #341.

August Bloom Box ~ Fun Stampers Journey

Do you ever want to sit down and make a card, but just can't decide what to make or your creativity just isn't coming through at that moment?

Decorative Doily (Stamps from May's Bloom Box!) ~ A Fun Stampers Journey Card

Today's card is inspired by Try Stampin' or Not on Tuesday's sketch challenge #321.  I have to admit I didn't know what I was going to do, but when I showed my upline the sketch she said, "Use May's Bloom Box".  Duh...why didn't I think of that!? lol  I have to say these are really intricate and beautiful doily stamps.  There are three different stamps and I used them all on my card, but not as individual stamps.  The smallest doily was added to the bottom right doily just to change it up a bit because I didn't want two of the same doilies.



Here is this week's sketch.  I did have to turn mine sideways to get everything to fit, but that's the way it goes with my cards...most of the time! lol  Make sure you check out all the other great cards made using this sketch HERE. 

Butter Cream

Oatmeal Cookie

Cocoa Powder

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Supplies used on this card: 

May Bloom Box  Stamp Set ~ KO-0001  ~ $24.95

Jan & Feb Bloom Box with Fun Stampers Journey

So I decided to dive into the world of making videos! 😯  
Instead of making a card I decided to show you the cards I made with the January Bloom Box (I posted them a couple of days ago) and show you how the February box is packaged.  I am not a fan of having my picture taken...and being on video and talking is worse!  I'll get over and hopefully bring you lots of videos you can enjoy and learn from. 


Remember you can order the Bloom Box anytime during the month to receive it.  If you're interested check it out at my website here...

My World January Bloom Box ~ Fun Stampers Journey Cards

I decided about a week and a half ago to start ordering Fun Stampers Journey Bloom box.  I loved the January set and was hoping to get it.  I thought I ended up ordering it too late, but I didn't!  Whatever month you order in you WILL get that Bloom Box!  

I did change just a few things up on my cards...where I placed sequins and a couple of the sentiment stamps, but I decided to just go with what they had for the most part.  Love how they turned out!  

For some reason I was thinking I'd have to change them up quite a bit because they didn't supply a bunch of stuff I needed...boy was I wrong!  The only two things I needed to supply from this set were the ink pads and the silk, which I happened to have both and could easily be replaced if you've never ordered from FSJ before.  I have to say this is actually a pretty good deal if you don't have a lot of time to craft or you don't want to deal with designing your own cards all the time.  

Now I have to show you this month's Bloom Box again and the cards are BEAUTIFUL!!  

If you'd like to watch a video of RG talking about the Bloom Box and creating one of the cards check it out HERE.

I'm finding out that this kit is SO worth the price!  It is $24.95 plus tax and shipping.  I've looked into past stamp sets from the kits and they run between $16.95 and $18.95.  If you add the cost of 4 prepped cards that you would pay to make at a SAS the cost would run between $28 and  $30 (that's with 10% shipping and my state's sales tax added to the stamp set and the $2 that I charge/card which is cheap compared to other areas!).  Not only do they have complete instructions they have tips for you too.  

If you'd like to order the Bloom Box check it out HERE and click on the Bloom Box tab.  This is a six month's commitment, but if you order through me I will send you six Large Storage Pouches for each of the sets you receive and I will also post additional cards using the set for inspiration.

Remember there's a special on all Satin Ribbon for the month of February!  If you'd like to order click HERE.

And ONE last thing...I promise!

The BLOOM Box

I have finally started receiving this kit and I love it.  It comes with a FULL SIZED stamp set.  It will always come with four card kits.  Since I'm more of a card maker and not a project maker I LOVE this!!   

If you subscribe with me I will send you 6 Large Storage Pouches to put each of your stamp sets in that you will receive over the next six months.  I will also post additional cards I make using the stamp set from the Bloom Box so you get even more inspiration to use your new stamp sets!

These are the cards that come with February's Bloom Box.  LOVE THEM!

For more details check it out HERE. You'll be glad you did!

Please note that there will be additional items that you need to make these kits.  All of that info is in the detail link above.  Once again if you have any questions please contact me!  You can do it at the top of my blog. :)

Thanks for looking and have a great day!
