Mini Blog Hop - "Limited Unlimited" & STILL "Stuck on You" :D

Welcome to a Mini Blog Hop from the Journey Blog Hoppers.  

Fun Stampers Journey grew phenomenally in January due to the incredible "join us" deal that was offered.  There is another really wonderful deal available through tonight (2/29/16) ... I will include details at the end of the post here ...

So there are lots of new Coaches and many of us actually got our hands on our very first set of Fun Stampers Journey stamps, dies, inks, cardstock, a few embellishments and supplies with the arrival of our starter kits.  And when the first Blog Hop was proposed, many who were interested said they did not feel ready -- either no blog yet or felt they did not have enough supplies to pull off a "great" project to show off and "Wow!" everyone with.  

I felt it is possible to work with a limited amount of supplies.  So, I proposed this "extra" Blog Hop with the theme of "Limited" (yet "Unlimited) ... For instance, the set of stamps I used for the first blog hop got used for a swap of ATCs (Artist Trading Cards) and again for this "project" too.  In fact, I expect that "Stuck on You" [SS-0201] may find its way into lots and lots of projects ...

So, here's my "project" for this Mini Hop:


The panel from the first Blog Hop that went live on Valentine's Day will go on the front of the card.  This panel will go on the inside.

The cactus and the "thank you" are from the "Stuck on You" stamp set;  the "for your order" I added in using a Pitt Pen (size S).  

The colored cardstocks used are Hazelnut Blend [CS-0013] & Lemongrass [CS-0019].  I also used the Licorice Black Fusion Ink Pad  [IP-0041] to stamp the image and text.

Spectrum Noir alcohol ink markers, Crayola and CraZArt colored pencils were used to color in the image and to add the slight shadow under the pot.

It is simple, uses minimal supplies, but I like it and hope you do too.  You don't "need" lots of tools and supplies to create fun projects.  But ... we all know we do "need" them, don't we?  LOL!  And I've got a deal for you to do just that -- get more fun stuff for your papercrafting stash:

Last Chance for these wonderful deals!! 

TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT!

(OOPS -- that last statement reminded me of this old "Silly Song" from an LP set by that title (um, "Silly Songs" ... and I gotta "share" it with ya ...)



Okay, now for the two deals that end tonight --
It's called Plus One ... It's a BOGO sale!  Buy One, Get One accessory / embellishment.
During February, Fun Stampers Journey is offering you the opportunity to do two things -- Join FSJ and get one extra set of stamps with your customizable kit (contact me at Facebook for more information); plus it's a BOGO Sale on embellishments.  For the full list, go here.  Your dollars do more during a BOGO (Buy One Get One) sale!
You can easily become a Fun Stampers Journey Coach (before tonight's deadline) here then be sure to click on the "Become a Coach" link at the top of the page, and choose the"Customizable Kit" to take advantage of the chance to add ANY other stamp set to your starter kit.  (I'll be honest, I get to choose a free set of stamps too!  So THANK YOU ahead of time for joining today.)

See ya soon! :D


Oh, 'Tis an "Extra Monday," isn't it?

February usually has just four of each day of the week but this year, Leap Year, gives us one extra day and this time it is an extra Monday.  Like we all need extra MONDAYS in our lives, right?  LOL!  So, what do you do with an extra Monday?  Have a birthday celebration!  Watch "The Pirates of Penzance" if you need to know more ... in the meantime while you get someone else in the house to find it at RedBox online, watch this:


that was just silly LOL so here is the one to watch after you suffer through the Veggie one ...







 
 sorry, I pulled another "fast one" on ya ... here it is!  Yes, it is ...


THANKS for visiting today!  Leave a comment and let me know you were here (just say "HI!" if you don't want to comment on the card or the videos LOL!) ...

Shopper's Delight! A BOGO Deal sure to delight

 It's called "Plus One" ...

Embellishments are, for this Leap Year's February (that is a "normal February" plus one extra day), mostly available as a "buy one and plus one of it will be added to your order" ... That is quite a mouthful, though, isn't it?  LOL!

It's a BOGO -- nah, not Pogo or Bogus -- a Buy One Get One deal on most accessories and embellishments ... and on 12x12" printed papers.  Order an accessory or embellishment, and if it is on the list, a second one will be added to your order automatically.  On the 12x12" printed papers, you get to choose your second set of papers.  It is that easy :D

You can get the full list by going HERE.  It is a pdf file showing the items with item number (so you can use the easy search feature at Fun Stampers Journey shopping site) and page numbers in the catalog.

For an opportunity to win a Card Kit from me -- leave me a comment by February 29, 2016, telling me what is your favorite item included in this sale if you are visiting after that date, leave a comment answering that question -- who knows, I may get generous at any time :D

PLUS ONE carries on ...

On top of the awesome BOGO sale, Fun Stampers Journey has gone one step further.

If you join Fun Stampers Journey and become a Journey Coach during February 2016, you get to choose one extra stamp set in your customized kit.  Learn more about the Kit options (there are 3, by the way) plus the Customized Kit option (making 4, actually) ... by visiting Fun Stampers Journey and clicking on the "Become a Coach" tab at the top of the page.

You get papercrafting products with a retail value that exceeds the cost of the kit, plus business materials to help you get your business up and running.

PLUS there are many wonderful coaches already running businesses and who "meet" at a variety of Facebook pages devoted to the FSJ Coaching Life.  They are a wonderful set of people!

Become a Journey Coach with me in February 2016 and you will get a thank you gift from me!
