Hello everyone! My name is Jenny Lee Yamasaki. I was born in South Korea, and have been residing in sunny California for about 30 years. I’ve been happily married for 7 years, and I am a mother of a 4-year-old girl and a 7-year-old fur baby. My card making journey began while I was bed ridden due to my back surgery in 2015. During that time, I watched tons of card making tutorial videos on YouTube for months, and decided to try making my own cards. Thereafter, card making has been my therapy, passion, and obsession. I love stamping, coloring, getting inky, and experimenting with different art mediums and supplies. I am so honored and thrilled to be a part of this amazingly talented group of ladies!

wcmd 2015 badge

Before I get started with our Trending post, I just want to announce that we’ll be participating in World Cardmaking Day for the time ever!  Be sure to stop by our blog this Saturday, October 3 because we’re kicking off this international event with a fun blog hop which will start right here and continue onto our talented design team members’ blogs.  We’ll have several $25 gift code giveaway prizes!

In addition to the blog hop, we’ll be hosting our first ever Project Challenge where you’ll be able to link up your cards/projects made with The Ton Stamps and/or Gilding (The Ton products must be the focal point of your card/project). There is no specific theme, we just want to see your new projects (no back linking). Prizes for the challenge will be a $25 gift code (first place) and several $10 gift codes for our runner ups. Stop by our blog on Saturday, October 8 for more details!!  

For our Trending with The Ton post, I will be spotlighting a few projects that I’ve noticed over the past few weeks.  Don’t be discouraged if we haven’t featured you yet – to increase your chances of being spotted, tag your social media posts (Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Youtube) with #theton or #thetonstamps.  We also have a Flickr group for you to add your projects to as well as a Pinterest page.

The first card I spotted for this month’s post was Chris’ simple, classy and stunning created by using our Large Peony 2 stamp set.  We found her card on Instagram and had to share it!

I found another card by Chris (she got down to business with her new stamps!) where she used our new Holiday Bows set to create a clean and simple holiday card.

Next I found this great video tutorial by Justine on Youtube where she created a soft and pretty card using our Peony Garden background stamp.

Next, I found this beautiful, bright fall themed card by Jacquie over in the Stamp Junkies Facebook group created with our new layered Autumn Foliage stamp set.  Her nontraditional leaf colors totally pop off the page!

Next, I spotted this beautiful floral card by our good friend, Virginia, where she used our Fresh Cut Dahlias.  She was inspired to make this fun and bright card from her recent travels!

Next, I found this pretty card made by Julie Goodfellow over in the Stamping Enablers Facebook group where she created some bold contrast using our Petal Cut Peonies Standalone Dies.

Holiday card making season is just around the corner so I had to include the next set of cards by Sherry (@bahlmans on Instagram).  She created a chic set of holiday cards with our Second Edition Solid Shoe Wardrobe set and Round Diamonds set.  I love seeing non-holiday stamps used for holiday cards. What a great way to stretch your stamps!

I found the next set of cards on Instagram by Tracie (@traciepond). She, too, got down to business with her new stamps when she received our new Fresh Cut Dahlias.  Tracie selectively used the layers in this set to create these fun cards.

The next project I spotted was by Amy on Instagram (@thecraftbunny). She made a super chic pocket letter with our Shoe Wardrobe Outline stamp set.  Everyone needs a little Louboutin in their lives, even if it’s just a stamped version 😉  Our Shoe Wardrobe sets are super trendy and so on point right now with all the different fashion week shows going on (New York, Milan, Paris, etc).

First up is a returning blog, Emily from Sixth Street Sundries has this beautiful watercolored card featuring the Fresh Cut Peonies!  I LOVE the soft look she gives the flowers plus the spots of ‘dew’ are the perfect touch!

Next up is a set of panels I found on the Facebook group: Stamping Enablers!  I love Megan’s various color combinations and I love (even more) that she listed the colors she used so that we could recreate our favorite combinations!

trending badgeFor our first installation we are sharing a ton (no pun intended!) of our favorites!  I hope you get inspired to use those Fresh-Cut Peonies…or maybe the Shoes? 🙂

First up is this beautiful peony card created by Chris Dayton found on the Stamp Junkies Facebook group!  I love how she stamped on kraft paper for a softer look and the gold stripe is perfection!

Next is another take on peonies…this time using distress inks for watercolors!  I love Emily’s peachy shaker card!  That watercoloring is SO gorgeous!

Here’s another fun shaker card from Lisa using one of our first release stamp sets, Vintage Frames!  I love the monochrome color scheme and the way she cut an opening in a frame to make her tiny shaker card!

Next up, a super chic gold and black card from Heidi featuring the Shoe Wardrobe: Lined set!  Love the gold and black…and is it just me or is her bow tied PERFECTLY!?

shoesOh, and the CUTEST panda selfies you will ever see was also created by Heidi…love the subtle shading of the pandas and the cute pink paw pads!!

And finally, I love the way Mayra used one of the couture sequin mixes, confetti, and fairy pink clear sequins to create this beautiful shaker card!  Love the pink and gold!!
