September Artwork featuring Cats & Bats!

So here are all of my latest
creations featuring the

CATS & BATS

paper collection!

...and I snuck in a few retired

paper scraps on the cards too

(can you spot them?).

First up, the four 12x12 layouts

I created using the

Workshops Your Way kit 

(G1136)...

There's still time to make

these layouts with me

($32 per pre-cut kit

to create 4-12x12

layouts like shown),

on the following dates:
Saturday 9/23 (6pm-9pm)
Friday 9/29 (6pm-9pm)
Monday 10/9 (9am-Noon)

(Non-local customers can request

a pre-cut "kit-to-go!" The cost of

postage is a little extra. Please

contact me for details).

Next, these are the pre-cut cards I'm offering
at our card-making classes this month!
Cards are make as many as you want for
$2 each (bring/use your own adhesive).

The technique we will focus on
learning and improving this time
is watercoloring, so bring your water
brush and paints if you have them
(or just come and use mine if you
need to) on the following dates:
Saturday 9/23 (6pm-9pm)
Friday 9/29 (6pm-9pm)
Monday 10/9 (9am-Noon)

Lastly, here's a fun "interactive" pop-up card

that I also have as one of our card class options
(using this month's National Stamping Month
"From the Heart" stamp set and card kit!)

This card folds flat for mailing in an envelope,

but when you pull the sliding tab, the front

pops up revealing a hidden message underneath:

June Stamp of the Month Blog Hop!

THANK YOU for stopping by to enjoy our

June Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

featuring this month's SOTM:

Hello Foxy S1706

If you've just arrived here from

MISS CARRIE's BLOG

then you are on the correct path.

If you get lost along the way, you can find
a complete list of all of the participating
consultant blogs here on MELINDA's BLOG.

Today I'm sharing two standard-size cards I created featuring this adorable stamp of the month with the Little Dreamer papers (X7219B). Both cards are stamped with a black memento ink pad and then colored with (top) watercolor paints that I slopped on quickly to give it that "messy watercolor look", and (bottom) with our ShinHan Touch Twin Markers (barely beige, clay, light orange, peony purple, and turquoise blue).

Now you can continue on with the blog hop
and be inspired by more creativity using this 
stamp set by visiting WENDY's BLOG next!

Annual Inspirations 2016 New Product Blog Hop!!

THANK YOU for stopping by to enjoy our

Annual Inspirations 2016

New Product Blog Hop!!

Today, 25 consultant artists are sharing artwork
they've created using NEW products

featured in the Annual Inspirations 2016 catalog

from Close to my Heart!

If you've just arrived here from BRENDA's BLOG
then you are on the correct path. 
  

For me, one of the most exciting new additions
to our basic CTMH product line, was the
NEW Color of the year!...SEA GLASS!!

It's a beautiful shade of light teal that I
immediately fell in love with and couldn't
wait to use. I also joined a team card swap
this month, so I needed to come up with a
card design to duplicate (16 times) and 
mail to my fellow consultant swappers.

First, I gathered a few materials I knew I wanted 
to use (including SEA GLASS glitter paper Z3240
and a SEA GLASS mini pigment ink pad Z2507)
and then began experimenting. I colored the sea shells 
above and below with watercolor paints and let dry.
(NEW stamp sets I used are 
Swirly Seashells C1664,
and Way to Go D1700).

As you can see, this project involved A LOT of watercoloring and hours of 
detailed cutting!! BUT it was a labor of love and I was really pleased with
the end result...a lovely card I was proud to send/share with my
fellow consultant artists. I hope it inspires you too! Enjoy!!

Now you can continue on with the hop

and be inspired by more creative artwork

and ideas by visiting KRISTA's BLOG next.

Enjoy the hop!!

My January Workshops (featuring Charlotte!!)

Happy New Year!!

I am over-the-moon excited about the all-NEW 

Workshop Program I have to offer you in 2016!

The value of what you get when you join in is so simple 

(yet genius)! All of the new monthly kits we have to offer

are designed to help you "use it all up" and consume

(not just collect!) your scrapbooking products.

For $26.95 (plus tax and s/h)

each monthly kit will allow you to create:

3 - 12x12 layouts (6 pages)

1 - Picture My Life layout (2 pocket pages)

and 8-9 standard-size Cards!

Workshops Your Way™ Charlotte Scrapbooking Kit Contents:
1 – Charlotte Paper Packet (X7205B)
1 – Charlotte Complements (X7205C)
3 – Cardstock Sheets (1 Black, 2 Whisper)
1 – Black & Gold Ribbon (Z3197)
1 – Treasured Puffies (Z3203)
Featured Colors: Black, Champagne, 

Slate, Sorbet, Whisper, White Daisy

G1104 $26.95

12x12 layout #1

12x12 layout #2

12x12 layout #3

Picture My Life (pocket pages) layout #4

PLUS, 9 cards (3 each of 3 designs)!

The scrapbook pages go together so quickly and easily since they now include stickers and chipboard die-cuts to embellish your pages with (instead of stamping). You will find that you can complete all of these items in just a few hours 

(approximately 2-3 hours for the 8 pages

and 1 hour for the 9 cards that 

do involve a little bit of stamping).

Starting January 1st, you can begin ordering this kit

to use at my upcoming workshop dates in January!!

1). Simply visit my website at

www.StampwithJen.ctmh.com

2). Click on the "JOIN" button in the 

bottom right corner to begin shopping

from my "January Workshop Orders!" gathering.

3). Add the "Workshops Your Way" Charlotte Scrapbooking

Kit (item #G1104) to your shopping cart to place the order at

least one week before the workshop date you plan to attend!

 Your kit will ship directly to you (or any address you enter) via FedEx and/or the U.S. Postal Service (please note that it has been my experience that orders placed using the "SmartPost" option can take a little longer to arrive, so the extra three dollars in shipping cost really isn't much IF you need to be sure it arrives faster using the $7.95 FedEx shipping option). You can purchase any additional items you want to, but I will have "on hand" all of the adhesive, stamps, inks, tools, card bases, and memory protectors you might need, available for you to use and/or purchase during all of my upcoming workshop dates.

If you would prefer to not shop online,

then simply get $32 cash/check (per kit)

to me at least a week before you plan to

attend so I can get your kit ordered for you!

(This price is "rounded up" and includes a few cents more than

the actual cost with the tax and s/h added. I will donate the 

extra 27 cents to Operation Smile, our affiliated charity).

Tell and invite your friends!!

because you also have the option to 

split/share a kit with a friend (just $16 each!)

if you can agree on how to divide it up, lol.

4). Then JOIN US at any of my upcoming workshop dates/times to complete your pages with my assistance. I will "show you how" to follow the "easy" cutting guide and share all of the latest tips, tricks, and techniques with you, to help you get your pages and cards created quickly and beautifully!

In January, I am offering 4 different workshop

dates/times for you to choose from including:

Friday 1/8 (6pm-9pm)

Saturday 1/9 (1pm-5pm)

Friday 1/29 (6pm-9pm)

Saturday 1/30 (1pm-5pm)

*If something comes up that prevents you

from being able to attend in January, you are always

welcome to come and use your workshop kit with me in

February when I will be offering 4 more workshop dates

(and a new kit option also).

**The WYW (Workshops Your Way) kits do come complete

with an assembly guide you can download and print once purchased, 

so you will easily be able to create all of the page layouts 

at home on your own if you would prefer to do that also!

Are you a card-maker only?

I haven't forgotten you!!

You are also invited to any/all of 

these workshop dates to participate

in my monthly "Card Buffet!"

Come when you want, 

stay as long as you want, 

and make as many as you want 

(a little or a lot) for

just $1.50 per card!

(bring/purchase your own adhesive to use

and please RSVP, as space is limited).

These are the new cards I will have for you to 

choose from the "buffet" in January 2016:

Lastly, I am very excited to announce my

NEW Consistency Club!!

It's simple...join me every month for 6 months

and I will reward you for your loyalty to me

with free goodies!

Those who purchase the WYW scrapbooking kit 

from me every month for 6 months in a row
