Get off your Bass

Small Mouth Bass Card Stamp by JessicaLynnOriginal.com

My step-dad is currently in the hospital and I wanted to draw up something that would just make him smile. When I was a kid he used to take us fishing ALL THE TIME and I thought it would be a great challenge for me to draw a fish of some type. So small mouth bass it is. I actually think he looks adorable and it kinda makes me want to go fishing.

When I gave him the card he was very impressed with the art and told me that it was the best art he had seen in a long time. We laughed and I just love it! I am going to be offering this bass as part of a new "Manly" set of stamps that I am working on. I think you are going to LOVE IT! I would love to hear what you think of my card and new design!

Have a great day!

Happy Birthday Deer....

Adorable Cricut Deer with JLO Stamp

I wanted to spend the day creating some Happy Birthday cards with my friend. I made eleven cards and it was a lot of fun just to make a bunch. 

• The used my Cricut machine.. which I LOVE! I have a design set that will cut out animals (raccoons, deer, etc) and I cut out this adorable deer.

I took a little brown box and drew out some flowers that I hand colored in with colored pencils. I  love the look of colored pencils on brown paper. The happy birthday stamp is just one of my favorites.. I love the font. It is the same one that I use for JLMould.etsy.com.

I would love to hear what you think of my design!

Have a great weekend,

Old vacation Photo Proofs? Contest!!

I ordered digital photos from Shutterfly they included photo proofs.

Good Morning,

I was cleaning out one of my rooms in my house when I came across some old photo proofs that were just tooo cute. I thought I wonder what I can do with this??

I just played around with using these photos. I cut out a bunch of them and added them on the top of the first card. I really think layout could be great for a couple and their engagement photos or wedding thank you cards. Maybe they could be in black and white?

The second card I ran the strip down the side with six photos.. this one might be the better option only because you can buy one of these proof sheets and then make six cards for the price of one. I would love to challenge you to make your own version of these cards with "Proofs".

Ideas:

• Wedding Save the Dates
• Vacation Photos
• Children Photos... at the beach, shopping, fashion show.. you name it!
• Christmas Cards
• Pet Photos and more!

CONTEST: Create your own card using your photos proofs. The winner will get 1 custom 2x2 red Rubber Custom stamp of your choice from my store (http://JLMould.etsy.com) The winner will be announced on August 15th. Submit your cards until midnight of 8/14/2011.

Inspired by You! My amazing customers...

Last week I was inspired by all of the amazing logos that I worked with while creating stamps that I felt it was time to take a few minutes and design a brand new packaging stamp that I can place on all of my shipments. I wanted to include the adorable bird and branch branding that I have done on my stamp website http://JLMould.etsy.com.

I just love putting together solid fonts with heavy script and I LOVE the wording on this stamp. I hope that you love it when it arrives are your door with your packaging. I used high quality Archival Ink (all that I have handy) which I LOVE. I do sell Archival ink in my store: JLMould Inks. 

The ink in the photo is Close to My Heart (which I do not sell, but I do have a wonderful person that you can buy CTMH ink from: Lori's CTMH page)

I would love to hear what you think of my new stamp!!

Disney World

I just spent an amazing and relaxing week with some of family in Disney World. Wow, compared to Wisconsin it was freakin' hot, but great! The park is under a lot of construction but I know that in the next few years the expansions are going to be amazing. Aaron and I are huge Disney fans.. we just love it. What other place can you go to just be silly and enjoy. There are some of the greatest restaurants and nighttime places for adults.. it ISN'T just four theme parks.

"Get a good idea, and stay with it! Dog it, and work at it until it's done, and done right" - Walt Disney.

The plane ride gave the opportunity to relax and take some time to figure out what is next for myself, family, and stamping business. I have some really great ideas and I can't wait to share them with you. I look forward to creating amazing stamps for your needs and seeing what you create with them.

Enjoy your Sunday afternoon,
Jessica Lynn

Featured Customer #4 - Dew Drop Frames - Giveway

Click the photo above to find out how I can help create a custom stamp for your small business.

Dew Drop Frames
Website: www.DewDropFrames.com

Who doesn't love this!??

About our Company: At Dew Drop Frames we offer simply stunning circular frames. Round frames give your photos a certain flair that you just can't get with the usual square frame. Create something wonderful in your space with a grouping of our uniquely round frames or just showcase your most treasured photo in our largest cicular frame. Whether you choose black, white, designer or classic edge, small or large circular frames you'll see your photos in a whole new light with Dew Drop frames.

How do we use our stamp: We needed a large round stamp to use on our frame gift boxes and shipping boxes. We will probably find many more uses for it, stamping inserts, packaging paper etc.

My thoughts: What I loved about working Tiffana was that she was pleasant and knew what she wanted with her stamp. I looked at her website and I love these frames.. I think that they are perfect for the walls and as a Disney fan.. I actually think they would be PERFECT for those silhouettes. (http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2010/08/a-cut-above-the-rest)

I had to repost .. my puppy is now 2 1/2..

About 2 weeks ago our house got a little crazy. We got a new puppy named Evee! It has been really exciting to bring in a new member to the family. Our older pup Strider just adores her. I wanted to make a special card to welcome her to the family.

Update.. she is now 2 1/2 years old and an amazing agility dog. She loves to watch me work on stamp orders and she LOVES to play. OMG.

I used the JessicaLynnOriginal Corgi Set #2 (Evee is an Australian Shepherd/Border Collie Mix but I just drew on a tail and it worked perfect.)

Used to Make this Card:

• JessicaLynnOriginal Stamps Corgi Stamps
• Copic Markers (which I just got an I LOVE them .. wow)
• Riser (to make the thought bubble 3D)
• Paper and Glue

Here is a photos of Evee - Isn't she adorable!?

Amazing door stamped on the water color paper and being colored in.

Ruth found me on http://JLMould.etsy.com and requested a custom stamp for her business. We have worked together on a few designs and this one is just one of my favorites!!

What I sell: I initially started out my business selling handmade cards, but over the past 5 years I've hugely expanded my range. I make handmade brooches, earrings, rings, pocket mirrors, badges and a small range of customized clothes. I still love making cards though and have continued making them through all the changes in my business. I sell at a weekly craft market in Limerick, Ireland. I also sell on etsy and a few boutiques around the country.

This is a 5x7 sized red rubber stamp mounted on a wooden block.

Story behind the stamp: My partner's brother is getting married this Summer, and John is going to be the best man. The couple wanted a low key wedding with some personal touches. I chatted with the bride to be and she wanted something different for her cards. The wedding reception is in an old Georgian building and she wanted to incorporate this into the invitation design. We discussed using the door as a symbol of welcoming her guests to the wedding. My boyfriend John is studying a Masters in Archaeology, and also has a background in Archaeological Illustration, so her was the perfect choice to do the drawing for the invites. I then approached Jessica about getting a mold made to fit the size of the card. After the beautiful stamp arrived myself and the bride made the cards adding the simple touch of red water color on the door itself. Myself and Shelly, the bride, is delighted with the result, saying it's exactly what she wanted.

I love My Yorkshire Terrier

Click on the photo above to learn more about this stamp set.

Who doesn't love that adorable Yorkie face? I am hosting a dog swap and I have been playing around with the style of card that I want to make. This is one of those samples.I found some adorable lime green paper in my collection and I loved the swirl on it. I wanted it to be the focus of the background. I colored in the adorable Yorkie with colored pencils and stamped the "I Love my Yorkshire Terrier".

What do you think of this card?

Hoppy Easter....

Click on the photo above to see all of our Easter Stamps that we have in stock and ready to ship!

Easter to me always means that spring has arrived. Every year we go to my husband's father's house for the holiday and spend it with a lot of family. We do the Easter egg hunt for the kids,candy,huge lunch,gathering of many family members, and Cascarones ... if you do not know what they are.. let me tell you. They are a hoot! 

•  Cascarones or confetti eggs are festive, hollowed-out chicken eggs filled with confetti or small toys. Decorated, confetti-filled cascarones may be thrown or crushed over the recipient's head to shower him or her with confetti.

I love to make cards to share with those that are not able to get to the gathering. Just a small way to tell them that I am thinking about them. I love chickens.. and I wanted to just make a simple card that showed off these stamps. I stamped the background with "Bunny Egg" and then only colored in things with green and yellow!

One week until Easter!!!

Featured Customer #1 - Lorie V Photography

 

Lorie V Photography

Peoria, AZ

Website: http://lorievphotography.com

First what is not to love about a photographer who buys a stamp from you?? You know they are going to showcase what they can do with the stamp. I worked with her to create a custom stamp from her logo. She sent it in full color and I made adjustments to it and changed it into the black and white logo that you see. I created it as a red rubber stamp with a wooden base.  

HOW SHE USES IT:

Lorie uses the stamp to create her DVD holders which is how she stores her photography. What an amazing gift talk about a wonderful investment. I love her packaging. I work with a lot of photographers who use their stamps to add their logo to the back of photos, mailings, but this is another great idea! I just love what she created with her stamp.

HER THOUGHT ON WORKING WITH US:

"This stamp looks just like my logo..Perfect... I love it. So glad I found your Etsy site. Great customer service. Fast shipping"

I would love to hear what you think of Lorie's use of the JessicaLynnOriginal/JLMould Stamp!? If you are looking for a custom stamp from your logo please contact me: By Clicking Here. I would love to work with you.
