So......I have moved to a new blog (looks a lot like this one) and will be deleting this one in a week or so!

NEW Photopolymer Set.....Another Thank You

2013-08-15T03:09:00.002-04:00

I saw a sample of a card using this set in our demo magazine, Stampin' Success and I was really excited to see this new set.....I didn't dream it was photopolymer!

This set is called Another Thank You and is full of all kinds of "thank you's" in different sizes and fonts. It is photopolymer, which means it's totally clear...perfect for lining up images exactly right every time. Our stamps are super sticky, so you don't have to worry about them falling off the block. I have been impressed with the sets I have...I think you will be too.

This set sells for $13.95 and you can view a full color flyer by CLICKING HERE

Another fun announcement is that our new Envelope Punch Board will be arriving soon! We got to see it in action at Convention and I am impressed! Super compact, super easy to use and will create over 66 different sized envelopes in seconds! Stay tuned for more info on September 1st!

Undefined....carve your own stamp!

2013-08-12T04:00:00.000-04:00

So....at convention, SU announced Undefined....a carve your own stamp line. Shannon West demo'ed it and dang, her stuff was cute! They even gave us a sample of rubber/foam/wood so we could try it out ourselves. Needless to say, with over 5,000 other demos, the carving area was a bit full. I packed mine up and figured, I'll try it at home. But, I did get to see all the stamps the demos were carving and holy guacamole...they were cute!!

I came home and ordered my Undefined kit (it was on sale for us convention demos....yet another perk of going!)

This is the kit. It sells for $19.95 and includes everything you need to create about 4 stamps. You'll get the rubber, 2 carving tools, foam, wood blocks, an indigo marker (so you can actually stamp your image right away!), an idea sampler and some note cards to stamp!

The cool thing is.....if you love it....you can then purchase refill kits for only $9.95

My kit arrived and I decided to give it a try. I had envisioned my kids each carving their own personalized stamp with their name. I asked Aidan what he wanted....and he drew me this:

Wow...ok. It's pretty detailed, but they made it look so easy at Convention (and if you get a chance, search Undefined on Pinterest...holy wow! There are some awesome samples on there) I had him trace it really dark in pencil. Flipped it over and rubbed it on to the rubber to transfer the image and started carving.

About 1/2 way through and one carve to my thumb, I started thinking: this looks awful, what a mess, this whole thing is ruined. I can't do this. But, I kept going.

Finally, after 20 minutes or so, I was done. And, honestly, it wasn't hard. It was my first attempt and I should've done something less "tricky" until I got the feel of carving. I still thought I screwed it up, because....it's not pretty. We are used to seeing the beautiful images Stampin' Up! makes...not this piece of rubber that looks like a tried to chew an image into it. But....attached it to the block and stamped my first image.....

Well, look at that. It's not bad, if I do say so myself! The one thing I did learn, was not to carve deep. The tools cut that rubber like butter....and before you know it, it's very easy to be too deep in the rubber. Lessons learned and we are totally making more stamps!

I think it would be so cool to immortalize your kids hand printed (or cursive if you're brave) name in a stamp....no matter how old they are! Or create the logo of your favorite sports team...create one of a kind stamps for the back of your cards! The images from convention included lots of minions and even one pile of poop with flies! Maybe I need that for the farm!

I know you want to try it too!!!!......so, I'm giving away an Undefined kit!!! All you have to do is leave a comment here, on facebook or email me and you'll be entered to win! Drawing will be on Wednesday (August 14th) morning, so hurry and enter! please make sure you're commenting...all the facebook "likes," don't count!!!!

In With You...winner!

2013-07-26T08:36:00.003-04:00

Spread the Joy, by Emily M. from the Stampin’ Up! home office, is the first winning stamp set from In With You, our new stamp set design challenge beta program.
In April, Stampin’ Up! employees were given the challenge to create a “bucket list” stamp set. Emily “wanted to make a set that could be versatile and usable for lots of different things.” Employees fell in love with her design and voted the set to victory!
Purchase the Spread the Joy Stamp Set #134784

From Emily (winner):

When I was twelve, a demonstrator gave me my very first catalog. I remember studying every page and staying up late making wish lists and doodling coordinating images. I dreamed of designing stamp sets someday.

Years went by and I forgot about that dream. I moved to college and traveled. My stamps stayed home and collected dust under my bed. Slowly, Stampin’ Up! found its way back into my life, and on a whim I applied for a job as a writer. The stars aligned and I got the job! I thought I would die of happiness. I got to see the illustrators at work, and I remembered my love for stamps.

As a writer and now a trainer, I don’t doodle as much as I thought I would. When the stamp contest was announced, I knew I had to be true to myself and enter. The theme—Bucket List—was tricky! Although I do want to go skydiving and visit all 50 states, a big part of my bucket list is becoming what I want to be—so my set is a reminder. “Spread the Joy” reminds me to let loose and enjoy life; to leave love notes for my husband and kids; to be brave when life is stormy; and to do the things that really matter! I’m particularly proud of the jam and bread—100 percent my husband’s idea.

Creating my own stamp set was definitely part of my bucket list! Get your Spread the Joy Set today!

I love Card Buffet....it's like the perfect class! It's all about you! I love coming up with the ideas and thinking about what you all would like. My son, Aidan is my helper...we laid about a bunch of samples and he and I brainstormed over what were "definite" and which were "maybes."

We had 13 folks join us to stamp and they were able to pick and choose whichever cards they liked and they could make as many as they wanted. I try to keep the sets in the boxes so if you want to swap out a sentiment to make it suit your needs, you can.

WOW Wednesday

2013-07-05T19:23:00.000-04:00

If you missed WOW Wednesday in June....well....sorry about your luck, cuz it's gonna be awhile to I have another one! There will NOT be a WOW class in July due to the Stampin' Up! Convention and my schedule. I just can't fit it in. But, have no fear, it will return in August (because the kids will be back in school and we can all breathe a little easier)

Here is what we made in June:

The awesome new set, Mosaic Madness, paired with our Quatrefancy clear designer paper. I added the saying from Happy Day and some Early Espresso baker's twine. The card is Whisper White, Cantaloupe Crisp and Early Espresso....very pretty.

This one has a lot of layers but it's heard to see. Again....Mosaic Madness paired with Lovely and Lacey and the Mosaic embossing folder. The colors are Strawberry Slush and Basic Black....very elegant.

This is a fun card using our new Modern Medley designer paper, Very Vanilla, Basic Black and Pear Pizazz. We did some embossing with Mr. Big and punched out a whole bunch of leaves with the bird builder punch. The butterfly is from Best of Butterflies.

This was fun surprise for the WOW gals. It really isn't a wow card, but it's super cute! Again, using the Modern Medley dsp, Daffodil Delight dsp, some grosgrain ribbon and Best of Flower set. Punched out with the 1 1/4 scallop punch...super cute and super easy!

All these items can be found on my website at www.jodybrechbill.stampinup.net

Enjoy!!!

Shoppers: if you are receiving this email, it's a personal invitation from me to "pre shop" on Friday, August 16th from 6:00pm until 9:00pm. Doors open promptly at 6. You may arrive anytime after 5:30pm. Bring your own bag and shop till you drop. There will be lots of new and previously loved stamping and scrapbooking items. Feel free to share this invitation with any of your friends/family.
Sale on Saturday begins promptly at 9:00am, you may arrive anytime after 8:30am. Feel free to shop both days!

All items are sold AS IS......

Sellers: I invite everyone to sell anything that is stamping and scrapping related (does NOT need to be stampin' up). ALL items need to be clearly marked with your asking price and your name or initials. Items can be dropped off between August 1st and August 15th. Please make sure all items are in decent condition and ONLY stamping/scrapping related. You do NOT need to be present at the yardsale, I will do all the set up, prep, clean up and you reap the benefits. I do, however, require 15% commission. After the sale is over, I will have your items packed up and you may pick up your items and money (I try very hard to give everyone cash). Items need to be picked up by the end of August. Items that are left at my house a month after the sale become mine.
Many ask me how I price....I do price to move items, not make a ton of money. I tend to make my items a good 50-75% off. If my stamps are really well loved, sometimes up to 80-85% off. If an item is brand new, never opened, I may go a little closer to the new price (mainly for newer stamps, paper, ink pads etc)

Can't wait....see you in August!
