Global Stamping Friends – Color Feature

Posted on by

Hi and Welcome back to another month of awesome projects made by demonstrators from around the world. You are visiting me, Jenn Charles at BFF Stampers.  This month we thought we’d challenge ourselves with a color feature.  I really liked this idea and will be featuring a color monthly.  This month for the Global Stamping Friends hop we decided on the color Call Me Clover.  I’ve fallen in love with this color while using it these past couple days.  It is a beautiful bright green. We were allowed to also use black & white in our designs.

For both of my cards I used the Tropical Escape Designer Series Paper.  I love the bold prints on the back but it also has some black and white designs on the opposite side.  And I love the 1/8″ size of the ribbon.  It’s my favorite size as you will also see in the next card. There is a list of all the products I used in these two cards down below.

In this card I used the 1/8″ Whisper White ribbon.  I told you I loved that size ribbon.  The pop of Call Me Clover adds so much to this card.  This stamp and die cuts are from the Stitched All Around Bundle.

I hope you found some inspiration to try this bold In-Color.  Next up in the blog is Amanda Farlinger.  Click on the arrow below to go to her blog.  Scroll to the bottom on the page if you’d like to see a list of everyone in the hop.

Thanks for stopping by,
Your BFF,
Jenn

Global Stamping Friends – 2 Year Anniversary Hop!

Posted on by

 

Hi friends!  Welcome to the Global Stamping Friends Two Year Anniversary Hop!  I can’t believe we’ve been hopping for 2 years already!  I’ve been a demonstrator for almost 3 years now! I am blessed to have Stampin’ Up! a part of my life.  Stampin’ Up! gives me the opportunity to meet new like-minded people and make them life-long friends.  This month’s theme is anything we want to do!  I’m making some coasters to give out to some of those friends that I’ve made.

I’m using the Waterfront stamp set again because I love it!  It’s perfect for a silhouette type scene on these coasters.  I’ve stamped the scene in our retired Archival Black ink pad. I would recommend the Staz On black pad now.  I let them dry and then I painted them with Mod Podge to make them shiny and so the condensation of the drinks do not get into the coaster.  I used ceramic coasters.

I hope you like them and I really hope my friends like them.  See you next month in September for our Color Challenge!

Your BFF,
Jenn

New Catalog goes LIVE today!!!!

Posted on by

Today is the DAY!! The 2018-2019 Annual Catalog is LIVE!!!  If you have not received your catalog yet and do not have a demonstrator, contact me!  I will get you a catalog.  In my opinion, this is the best catalog yet!

Welcome to the Global Stamping Friends June Bloghop.  You are visiting Jenn Charles @ BFF Stampers.  Our theme this month is anything new!  Of course it is!  Today is the kick-off of the New Catalog!  I’m very excited if you can’t tell.

All the cards I make are the normal size.  They might be a fancy fold or a note card size or 3×3, as long as we sell the base, I’ll make the size.  The card I’m making today is from the Delightfully Detailed Memories & More Card Pack.  Stampin’ Up! has come out with card bases and envelopes that fit the 4×6 or 3×4 cards in the Memories & More Packs.  I’m so excited about that!  Here is my sample of a 4×6 card base using those cards.  This card has no ink or stamping on it!  The Memories & More card packs make it so easy to make a quick card.

Don’t you love these colors?  They are returning In-Colors, Mint Macaron and Blackberry Bliss.  So pretty!

I used a new punch called the Detailed Trio Punch and I cut the detailed laser cut flower from the aptly named Delightfully Detailed Laser-Cut Specialty Paper 🙂  It is white on one side and vanilla on the other.  It comes with 4 pieces of each of these 2 designs.

I hope you liked my card and visit all the people in the hop to see brand new products from the new catalog!

Up next is Karie Beglau.  I know she will have something amazing for you to see!

I’m on my way to our church retreat today for the weekend and it’s all about Choosing JOY!

John 15:11 – “These things I have spoken to you, that MY JOY may remain in you, and your Joy may be full”

Choose Joy!

Your BFF,
Jenn

Global Stamping Friends – Sketch Challenge!

Posted on by

May the 4th be with you!  Just throwing that out there for some of my friends.  You know who you are!!! 😉

Hi BFF’s!  Doesn’t it feel like this year is just flying by?  It’s almost summertime!  I know in some areas it’s still snowing.  If that is you, I am very sorry.  What a winter it has been for some places around the world, but I can’t complain much here in San Diego, California.

Welcome to another blog hop with the Global Stamping Friends where demonstrators from all around the world are showcasing awesome Stampin’ Up! products!  This month we are working with a sketch.  I love sketch challenges.

Here is the sketch we are working with and here is what I came up with using some new, some retiring and some current products.  I really stuck to the sketch with the circle and stripes and accents.  I added some dimension with the Sparkle embossing folder.

I fell in love with this designer series paper called Painted With Love that is only available while supplies last.  The gold accents really caught my eye.  So I decided to stamp the circle and the sentiment using Versamark and heat embossing in Gold.  This circle came from a brand new not-yet-released stamp set called Swirly Frames.  It coordinates with the Circle and Square Framelits.  It will be available in the new catalog on June 1st so you’re getting a sneak peek. 🙂

I used a current bundle that will be carrying over into the new catalog.  It’s called Colorful Seasons.  The sentiment and the flowers are from this bundle.  The colors I used were Melon Mambo, Blushing Bride and Rich Razzleberry.

I added a thin strip of the designer series paper inside the card also to finish it off. 🙂

I hope you liked my card. Next up is Tricia.  I know you will enjoy what she has come up with.

Thanks for stopping by.  Below is a list of everything I used today on this card except for the Swirly Frames.  If you’d like to shop with me, click HERE and use the Hostess Code BNQEJNBK when you check out and I will send you a surprise in the mail.

Your BFF,
Jenn
