SNEAK PEEK - FSJ Live - New Die April 2018 - Fun Stampers Journey Products

Oh my gosh, wait till you see this .... a brand new die from Fun Stampers Journey that will be available to customers on April 1, 2018.


I'm prepping my projects for the FSJ Live event this Saturday.   It is done live via YouTube by Fun Stampers Journey, and it helps introduce brand new products to the Coaches and our customers alike.   A fun filled day of learning techniques, seeing new products, and just having fun with other crafters.   The event is now closed.   I hope that each of you will take advantage of this awesome event next time it is offered.   In our event kit we received stamps, dies, and everything we need (but adhesives and inks) to complete 4 projects.

The beautiful hello above is a SNEAK PEEK of a brand new die called:
Huge Hello Die Set DI-0423  Set of 1 die   (available April 1, 2018)
This die is perfect for a card front.

The HELLO is cut out 6 times in Black Licorice Card Stock and then layered together with our liquid Craft Glue.   Once dry the top is covered with our Journey Glaze.   It gives it a high shine, almost enamel look.   This die is going to be a HIT with all that use it.'

Works in Progress - Fun Stampers Journey Products

Just sharing today some of my works in progress.   I received a new background stamp called Fringe Wall SS-0452 and wanted to play a bit with it.   I used Clear Pigment Ink and then covered the stamped image with all different colors of PanPastels.   Was fun and interesting to see the different looks using the same products but different colors and ways of covering in the background (stripes, circles, outlining etc).

Decorated Sleeve Pocket Die Tutorial - Retired - Fun Stampers Journey Products

In one of my Mystery Boxes (MB-0002) I received a retired Decorated Sleeve Pocket Die DI-0002.   Decided I had to try it out, and was especially pleased to discover that not only can you cut with it, you can also emboss the scallop inner design.


Here's the steps I did to cut and then emboss the design on my Journey Platinum Machine TO-0090:

Regular Cutting Sandwich:
Platform
Orange Cutting Plate
Card Stock
Die - Cutting Edge Down
Orange Cutting Plate
Run Through the Machine


Remove outer edge of card stock.
DO NOT remove from the die itself.
This is the embossing sandwich:
Magnetic Platform
Die with Cut Side UP and card inside of the die.
Tan Embossing Mat
Green Embossing Plate 
Run Through the Machine


 This is how it will looks after being run
through the machine.
Use the Bloom Tool TO-0073 to 
poke out the small circles and remove card stock from die.

This is what it looks like opened up.
Crease line down the middle.
Tab in lower left corner.  

Fold on the crease lines.
Add some Craft Glue AD-0111 to the tab,
glue together and clip to secure.
Once dried, remove clips.

The sleeve will now easily slide on to
your card corner.
This is a 5 1/2 x 4 1/4" card (A2)

The die can be just cut or can be cut and embossed.   Choice is yours.   And of course, you can always decorate the die cut item too.  I like to add a couple drops of the Craft Glue to secure the sleeve on the card front.  

The card front shown above is a work in progress.

Candy Bar Gifts - Sharing My Business Cards - Fun Stampers Journey Products

Worked on a fun project this week ... I decided I wanted to help get the word out about my Fun Stampers Journey Business.   I spent the last few days creating the card carriers that have been on my blog the last two days AND also a dozen chocolate bar covers that have my business card attached to them.   Today I drop all the items off along with a couple of our catalogs.   Was wonderful to share my passion for paper crafting with others.

Here are the photos of the chocolate bar covers.    The ribbon slides easily off and the candy bar will slide out.   Leaves the artwork/cover intact. 





I tried to make each one unique and different.   Some are made with dies, some with stamped images, and some printed paper.  

These could be done in any color, and with any stamp or die set that Fun Stampers Journey has.

Card Carrier Die Gift Bag - Day 2 - Fun Stampers Journey Products

Here's the 2nd Card Carrier Gift Bag that I made using the Card Carrier Die Set DI-0386 which is a set of 2 dies.    You cut out 2 of each die and glue to create the gift bag.







Depending how much depth your cards have, you should be able to put at least 4 cards in the bag.   These are standard A2 cards ... 5 1/2" x 4 1/4".   I have also included 4 envelopes in each bag.

Card Carrier Die - Make Your Own Gift Bag - Fun Stampers Journey Products

I really enjoy giving packs of cards to friends/family that I have made.   Our Fun Stampers Journey brand new Card Carrier Die Set (DI-0386) has 2 dies in it.   To create the mini gift bag you cut out 2 of each die and glue them together.

Set of 2 dies  .... 6 7/8" x 6"
Folded 1" x 5 7/8", and 2 1/2" x 2 5/8"

This die will work in both the Amaze and the Platinum Machine.  Please note though that in the Amaze machine, this larger die is a tad bit larger than the cutting plates.   Be sure to have lined up before cranking through your machine.   I did mine using the Platinum Machine and it was quick and easy.   So nice that the Platinum Machine can cut a full sheet of 8 1/2 x  11" card stock at one time.

Today and tomorrow, I will be sharing photos more than giving details on the cards themselves.   My focus is the Card Carrier Die.   I want to show you the mini bag and the 4 cards & envelopes I put inside.   They mini bags could easily hold up to 6 cards and envelopes as long as they weren't too thick.









I think it is fun to decorate the bag as well as the cards.   I did try to keep them in the same color families so that all the cards went with the outer bag.   Very pleased with results.
