Wanted. Bought. Love. (With GIVEAWAY!)

Today, I am coming to you with a fun installment of "Stuff I LOVE!" Here's the deal, I use a lot of different products. I love some, others, meh. BUT... I really love to SHARE the things I love! So, here are a few things I have been using lately that you simply MUST consider for your stash! I wouldn't lead you astray, folks! I promise!

Simon Says Stamp Teflon Bone Folder Tool

It looks so simple, doesn't it? And yes, I am actually starting out with a bone folder that costs $23.99. And, yes, it is worth EVERY.SINGLE.PENNY. Seriously, you guys. This thing has great weight to it, it creates smooth, beautiful creases with no shine on the cardstock, it has multiple surfaces so it is great for burnishing, as well as creasing. I love it. For reals. LOVE. IT.

Avery Elle The Everyday Collection 6x6 Paper Pad

So. This paper pad. It's amazeballs. I haven't put it away since it arrived because it is just the very BEST go-to stack of patterns EVER. For reals. The patterns were so specifically designed to work with cards and you can totally tell. I love it. It is not often that I purchase the same paper pad twice, but this one ... I'm gonna need another one. For reals. It's the perfect paper pad. Perfect.

Spellbinders® Pierced Circles, Ovals, and Squares

So, here's the deal. The die for the pierced portion is a totally separate die from the cutting die. GUESS what that means, folks?! That means you can play with or without the pierced part OR you can use ONLY the pierced part. These things became a staple the instant they hit my studio. For reals. I have no idea how I survived without them. LOVE. Lots. For reals, though.

Winnie & Walter The Big The Bold Stamp Sets

Okay, so I sort of cheated and this isn't just ONE product, but rather an entire grouping of stamp sets, but, for REALS, you guys. I have NEVER reached for the same set so many times as I have with these The Big The Bold sets from Winnie & Walter. The words are fabulous and due to the smaller, extra words, each set is LOADED with potential. And that font...seriously...I can't even get enough of it! I can't!!!! LOVE!

My Favorite Things Hybrid Inks

They work wonderfully with Copics and Spectrum Noir markers, colored pencils, watercolor, and, well, just stamping in general. The colors are gorgeous. They make me happy. Ridiculously so, actually. Ridiculously so, my friends.

So, while this is hardly everything I love, this does show you a few things that have been making me exceptionally happy in my studio as of late. Why? Because this stuff ROCKS, you guys! And no, I was not asked to share these things, nor was I compensated in any way for this post. My links are affiliate links with Simon Says Stamp, as always, and of course I appreciate you using them if you are shopping with Simon. YAY!

AND...because I have been dealing with a stupid cold, we need to spread some happy, so, I am giving away THREE brand new stamp sets to one lucky Just Jingle reader! They will be three clear stamp sets including at least one set from CAS-ual Fridays, at least one set from Simon Says Stamp, and...who knows what the third will be. And I've been known to toss in an extra goody or two, so ... yeah... that might happen.

To enter:

1. Leave a comment below letting us know which of the above products you are thinking about giving a try!

2. For a second entry Like the Just Jingle Facebook Page and leave a comment there letting us know YOUR favorite studio supply as of late!

Since these are light enough to ship, this giveaway is open world wide. It will close at Midnight Eastern Time Monday 29 September. Feel free to spread the word! :)

Have a Happy!!!

Let's Go Shopping!

I haven't done a favorites post lately, so I thought I would share a few things I've purchased lately and found that I just LOVE!!! And if I love it, I bet you will, too!  Check it!

From Hero Arts:

This Capture Prism stamp is just AWESOME!  I have used it and really loved what I created and I have seen so many fabulous ideas I can't wait to play with it more!

This one is from the new Highline collection and it is the coolest chalkboard background stamp EVER!  I used it on a card recently and fell head over heels, dude.  It's wicked awesome.  I can't show you that card yet, but all in due time, my friends, all in due time!

From Basic Grey:

Okay, so this next one caught me off guard.  Basic Grey, to be honest, had fallen out of my sights a bit.  I hadn't been loving their stuff, but their recent CHA release was like HOLY WOW!  Spice Market was probably the one I was least interested in UNTIL I saw it used!  WHOA, dude.  For reals.  Well, I bought it, I love it.  You need it.  'Nough said.

And this one.  *SWOON!*  Just look at these happy colors.  This one came as no surprise.  I saw it.  I loved it.  End of story.  LOL!  The Fresh Cut collection is just wonderful for spring!  And happy days.  I like happy days.

From Chickaniddy Crafts:

Hello, cuteness.  It's so nice to meet you!  That's pretty much the feeling that Chickaniddy stuff gives me.  Love it.  Tones.  It has a funky mix of softness, frill, graphic, and floral.  I like it.  It's different.  These Date Night stamps...yup...totes adorbs, folks.  Totes. Adorbs.  AND...they are made in the US and great quality. This doesn't always happen with paper companies so I was quite happy when I got these in hand and found them to be super fabulous!

And the STICKERS!  Yup.  Good 'ole fashioned STICKERS.  I love them.  And I love that they are only 99 cents and I can buy two sets...one to use and one to hoard.  Naturally.  HA!  These are the Date Night Banner stickers and I super duper love the diamonds!  LOVE THEM!  I need more.  You know, now that I think about it... 

From Simon Says Stamp:

Hello to my new best friend, otherwise known as the Wide Stripes Background Stamp.  For reals, you guys.  FOR. REALS.  It's flippin' awesome.  And that's all I can even say about that.

And this one.  Handwritten Borders.  WHOA is this stamp set useful!  I've pulled it out several times and honestly I have only had it for a couple of weeks!  It is a great go-to and instantly turned into a staple in my studio!  Love it!

And, finally (because I could totally do this all day, but you probably have stuff to do), we come to a couple of favorites from Paper Smooches:

Okay, folks, don't just think rainbows on this one, think curves, half circles, full circles, colors, and overall amazeballs happenings.  Because that is what this handy dandy little rainbow die will offer you.  For reals.  SUCH a fun die to have on hand!  I love it.  Tons.

And this one.  Another instant staple.  And yes, I recognize that I am showing you TWO scripty sentiment sets, but seriously, I use both and I use the A LOT!  This Scripty Sayings set gives you a ton of everyday sentiments that are easy to add to a card without being overly simple.  I love it.  Super lots.

And, now it's time to go!  I hope you have enjoyed this little shopping with Jingle experience today!  Have fun with your new goodies!  :)

Have a Happy!

Summer Favorites

Today I want to share some summer favorites with you! We are coming up on a holiday weekend here in the United States, which means you may have a bit of time to do some crafting or maybe even SHOPPING, so I figured I'd do my duty as a member of the craft community and enable you as much as possible. HA! So...here's what I'm loving right now...
