Hats Off Die Set Used for Graduation Card - Fun Stampers Journey Products

The Hats Off Die Set creates a 3D graduation cap.   With the help of Journey Foam Squares, it is up and off the card background.   The tassel adds the final touch to the cap.   Such a reasonably priced die set too .... DI-0441 Set of 3 pieces for $9.95.

I used one of my Gel Press Backgrounds I created the other day, then layered it with Sweet Berry and Brush Gold Card Stock.   The cap is made with Black Licorice and Brush Gold Card Stock.

FREE Amaze Die Cutting Machine  (While supplies last)

The Fun Stampers Journey Banners & Bows Bundle is an amazing way to get the retiring "Amaze Machine" for FREE.      BD-0391  $89.70 (plus tax & $15 flat rate shipping)

May 1st through June 30, 2018:  When you purchase the die bundle below (all current dies), you will receive the Amaze FREE.   This is while supplies last as the Amaze Machine is retiring.    There is a flat rate shipping fee of $15 not included in the prices shown below.   Shipping is $15 because of the weight of the machine.  Amaze Machine is the full box (magnetic platform, cutting  plates etc) that we have always sold and those items are just not shown in the photo below.

NOTE:   Like all machines, the Amaze machine will remain under warranty for a year after the date of purchase. FSJ will be introducing a new machine in the new catalog, and this machine utilizes the same platform and plates as the Amaze machine. So rest assured, you will be able to purchase replacement plates for your Amaze machine for years to come.

It is sad to see some of our favorite items retire, but the good side to this is that means new products will be coming our way as of July 1.

The full jewelry line is retiring!!!  That is one of the reasons our retirement list is longer than normal.  Some amazing deals on all of the retirement items.

Inside & Out Stamp Set - Hats Off Die Set - Star-Dom Die Set AND FSJ Silks are on Sale

Yesterday I was inspired to create a graduation card.   Seems impossible that June is just around the corner and that means graduation for many is just around the corner too.   You still have time to order supplies needed for graduation cards especially our wonderful new Hats Off Die DI-0441 that creates the graduation cap and tassel shown in the card below. 

I wanted a card that was unique and had the feeling of celebration.   I chose a bright card base color (Beach Breeze) then accented with Brushed Silver, Black Licorice, and Lemon Drop.    The background of the card base was splattered with SEVEN (7) different colors of our Silks.  I love the look of sparkle to it and the look of confetti falling. 

Don't forget that our Silks and Splashes are 20% off through the end of April.   Great time to stock up.

The small faux leather stars are a Bloom Benefit called Bloom Stars.  It is in our main catalog and is one of the free option for a $50 order.    The stars were a perfect fit for the stars I die cut and used the piercing element die on.   The Bloom Stars have a large glue dot on the back of them so adhere securely to the other stars.    Here's a close-up of the star:

Depth and dimension were added by applying foam squares underneath each item.

Hero City Die - Follow Your Dreams Hot Air Balloons - Fun Stampers Journey Products

I have to be honest, I never wanted the Hero City UNTIL I saw the Follow Your Dream (hot air balloon embellishments).   When I saw them I could envision the card in my mind.   I had to have both items!!!!

The card went together easily.   I used retired printed paper that I had for the background, but you could easily used Splashes, PanPastels, Fusion Inks to create the background yourself. 

Card base is Lemon Drop.
City is Black Licorice.
Ink for Sentiment is Black Licorice.

I adhered the background to the card base with our Journey Craft Glue.   Then cut out the City Die and placed it on the background with the Craft Glue also.    The hot air balloon is already layered and has a large foam square on the back.   Also used the foam squares on the sentiment when I placed it on the card.

The inside of the card could be left black for a handwritten note or stamped inside too.

After I finished the video last night, I went ahead and stamped out many of the images from the other stamp sets that I show you in the video.   They turned out so cute.   Hope you will make some party favors too.   They would be great in a small clear bag tied with a beautiful Fun Stampers Journey Ribbon!!!

This is a mix of all of the stamped images I did.

Perfect Gift Idea - Journey Girl Signature Tote - Fun Stampers Journey

Journey Girl Signature Tote Bag  TO-0084  $99.95

Journey Girl Tote Liner is TO-0104  $14.95

I've been eyeing this tote bag and liner for quite some time.   Since I had never seen it in person, I must admit I was a bit hesitant to purchase it.   During convention, Gabby Garay (Co-Founder of Fun Stampers Journey) came up on stage with the tote filled with flowers.   She was carrying it over her shoulder.   She and Richard did a demonstration on the new pieces of jewelry that will now be in our Bloom Collection.   In the Journey Store that day we were able to see the tote and liner in person.   It was just what I needed to be convinced that this was a great purchase for me.

It can be used as a tote or as a tote style purse, the choice is yours.   I have seen it used as a laptop bag (would depend on the size of your laptop, of course), craft tote, and a purse.  I think it would be a great travel bag too.   So many options, and a perfect gift item too.  

Here's some important observations about it that I would like to share with you.

1. It's leather, it's soft and much lighter in weight than I expected. It weighs approximately 2 lbs wit the liner inside. 



2. The green liner (separate purchase) is a perfect fit for the inside of the bag. The liner actually zaps into place and the top fully zips (love that).

3. Liner has 1 zippered pocket inside and 2 slide in pockets inside. It is a material not plastic or leather etc. Liner is flexible because of the fabric.

4.   Dimensions: (approximate)
      13" high (without handles).
      9" from the top of the tote to the top of the handles
     14" wide (striped area left to right)
     5 1/2" depth (side panel)
     6" wide base

5. Tote will stand up on its own. Doesn't fall over, doesn't cave in (don't you hate that when you set your purse down and it falls over).

6.  The tote will easily fit over your shoulder.

Liner is snapped into place and zipped closed.

Photo taken up above looking down.

Large zippered inside pocket on right.

Two slide in pockets on left.

Perfect fit over my shoulder.

Easy to carry and roomy too.
