Stamp with Jeanne

Motivation Monday - 3/6/23 - Lucky Clover - A Card with a Twist!

I had so much fun making this fun-fold card that was inspired by Dawn Griffith.  She shared how to make a card out of this template many, many years ago and I totally forgot about until I was looking for a design that would be perfect with the new Lucky Clover stamp set.  This is different from any card I've made in the past and love it!  IMHO, every stamper needs to have a stamp set that covers them for a variety of holidays throughout the year and I think this is the best one I've even seen from Stampin' Up! for St. Patrick's Day.  Most of the sentiments included in this set can be used for a variety of occasions, making this set even more versatile!  If you decide to give this fun-fold a go, I would love to see what you come up with.  Here are the supplies and measurements. Have fun!

Motivation Monday - 11/28/22 - Penguin Place

Fellow demonstrator, Wendy Crawford, shared a fun 2 for 1 template during the Stampin' Up! OnStage Event a couple of weeks ago and I couldn't wait to give it a try.  I love how you can cut one piece of 8 1/2" x 11" cardstock into two pieces to create two totally different card bases.  You can download the PDF with a list of products used on my projects, measurements, and pictures below and then watch my step-by-step video tutorial to stamp along with me here:

I would love to see what you create using this awesome idea, so please feel free to post pictures!

Birthday Organizer Kits

The new Birthday Organizers Kits from Stampin' Up! are awesome!  Can you imagine how awesome it would be to receive a hand-stamped gift like this that keeps on giving all year long?  I can't wait to make more sets to share with my family and friends this holiday season. Not only does the kit come with product to make 12 cards, the kit includes a GREAT spiral-bound binder to hold them all in!  Plus, there's a way to track everyone's birthdays throughout the year.  The cards as designed by Stampin' Up! are quick and easy, but you know me, I couldn't wait to create alternate projects that are more of a "WOW!".  It's too late to join us for the live online class, but you can still purchase (while supplies last) my alternate kit with all of the paper products pre-cut and ready to stamp here.  The kits also come with written and video step-by-step instructions so you can stamp along with me when it's best for you!  Enjoy!

Motivation Monday - 11/14/22 - VersaMark

We did something a little different for Motivation Monday this week.  Instead of stamping cards, I shared over a dozen ways to use your VersaMark ink pad.  It was so fun playing with techniques we haven't used in years.  I hope you will enjoy trying these ideas out.  If you do, please share your designs on our Stampwithjeanne Facebook Page under the November 14, 2022 Motivation Monday Tutorial post.  To watch the step-by-step YouTube video for creating these techniques click here.
