FSJ Presents...

Who doesn't like to have a day of crafting every now and then?  I know I do and I will be participating in FSJ Presents on Saturday, December 2.  

Hello Fall ~ A Fun Stampers Journey Card

Who doesn't love the colors that fall brings?  
Most of us do and I had to create another fall card while the season is here. 

I started following a new sketch challenge FB group called Journey Sketches and couldn't resist creating this quick and simple thank you card.  Plus I needed a card for my October stamp a stacks and this sketch was perfect for whipping up a card!

There are so many ways to color leaves, but for this card I used three different ink colors from Fun Stampers Journey (listed below).  I used sponges to dab the color onto the stamp starting with the lightest and dabbing it all over the stamp.  Then I added the second color and dabbed it around the edges making sure I left some yellow in the middle.  The last and darkest color I dabbed just around the edges of the stamp.  Does that make sense?  I hope so!  After I cut out the leaf (with a die, of course!) I spritzed it with Sparkle Silk that was mixed with 70% rubbing alcohol to make it shimmer all over.  My camera just didn't want to pick that up this time...bummer! lol

Poinsettia Burst ~ A Fun Stampers Journey Card

Today's card is inspired by Try Stampin' or Not on Tuesday's sketch challenge #343.  
The optional theme is Leaves.  I think it was meant for fall leaves, but since I was working on a bunch of Christmas cards this weekend this is what I came up with. :)

Hello Sunflower ~ A Fun Stampers Journey Card

Today's cards were made for anyone who ordered from me or joined my team in September. :D

Join the Journey!

I have a second post for you today.  :)
Have you ever thought about joining Fun Stampers Journey? 
 If so boy does FSJ have a deal for you!!

When I joined I got the Journey Platinum Die Cutting Machine and wasn't sure what to think about it.  Let me tell you I love it!  It's a great machine and I don't ever need to cut my 8 1/2" x 11" card stock to run it through.  When prepping a LOT of cards a month for classes it sure comes in handy.  No extra cutting and less waste of paper when using my dies.  

Go to my website www.funstampersjourney.com/sarahoogendoorn. 
If you have any questions please contact me!  
I'm here to help all of my friends, customers and down line if you need it.

FSJ is also running a special for the month - Make Your Mark!

Once again go to my website www.funstampersjourney.com/sarahoogendoorn if you would like to order or for more information.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Love Paris ~ A Fun Stampers Journey Card

Today's card is one of my September Stamp a Stack cards.  It was simple to create and can be used for more than one occasion so I didn't put a sentiment on the front of the card. :)

Begin Adventure ~ A Fun Stampers Journey Card

I have a quick and easy masculine card to share with you today.

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.

Lovely Day ~ A Fun Stampers Journey Card

I'm using one of my favorite stamps from FSJ called Lovely Day on today's card.  

Journey Birthday 2017 ~ A Fun Stampers Journey Card

Today's card is a little different than my norm, but I needed a card for my nephew that was turning 11. That's a hard age to make cards for! 
What do you think? I thought this set that Richard gives to each of his coaches for their birthday would be perfect though. :)

Autumn Days ~ A Fun Stampers Journey Card

Today's fall card is inspired by Try Stampin' or Not on Tuesday's sketch challange #339 and its optional theme is Fall Fun.

I have another masculine card to share with you today and it was also one of my August stamp a stack cards.  

Let's Ride ~ A Fun Stampers Journey Card

How about a CAS masculine card today.  This card is a monochromatic layered card and was one of my August stamp a stack cards. 

Poinsettia Burst ~ A Fun Stampers Journey Card

Today's card is inspired by Try Stampin' or Not on Tuesday's sketch challenge #337.  

Beauty Blooms ~ A Fun Stampers Journey Card

I created today's card quite awhile ago, but I wanted to wait to share it until I made a video for it.  Well I fiiiinally have a video made!

Wonderful Day ~ A Fun Stampers Journey Card

Today's card is a pretty clean and simple one and was inspired by sketch #335 from Try Stampin' or Not on Tuesday.  I had the ladies at my August stamp a stacks make this card and they seemed to like it. :)

This is the sketch from TSOT.  Make sure you head over to the blog HERE to check out all the great cards the designers made using this sketch.  And if you get a chance to play along we'd love to see what you create!

This was a pretty simple card to make other than the fussy cutting!  That only took a couple of minutes though.  It does involve some coloring.  I used Fun Stampers Journey's Color Burst Pencils, then blended them with baby oil and a color burst blender (blending stump). The ladies really seemed to like this technique! :D
