Steampunk Tag


I just participated in a Facebook group that gave the weekly challenge of creating a tag showcasing Fun Stampers Journey products with a mustache theme. Hmmm....Immediately I knew what I wanted to create. One of my sons loves the Steampunk genre, which is a cross between the Steam Engine Era, Sci-Fi and Victorian. Now, I just may get a few lashings for giving this unique genre such a simplistic overview, but want to keep the explanation simple. It really is a fun, fun, fun genre to create with...so many possibilities. Here is my Pinterest Board, to give you a quick look at Steampunk: http://pinterest.com/papercraftcafe/steampunk/

When Fun Stampers Journey first came out with the Journey Gears and Retro Party Artist Trading Stamps (ATS), I knew I was going to love creating with them.

So, I needed a mustache theme tag and Voila the Retro Party ATS came to mind. It so perfectly goes along with the Journey Gears ATS.

Products used: FSJ Oatmeal Cookie Ink and cardstock. Journey Gears and Retro Party ATS. Journey Twine, Journey Glaze, Gold Silks (to color the gears gold) and Spellbinders Media Mixage pieces. The "You are Awesome" greeting comes from he Little Big Greetings FSJ stamp set.

This fun tag layout could easily be made into a greeting card. I sometimes find it hard to create cards for guys and I think this could be a card that would be enjoyed by the man in your life.

Announcing a Brand New Membership Kit of the Month Club

Join the Journey Bloom Crew

I am so excited to announce that Fun Stampers Journey has just come out with a new membership club called the Journey Bloom Crew, Kit of the Month. This is an exciting addition to the many great products that FSJ has to offer.

There are two kit options:
Card Makers Kit that includes: 1 new release stamp set, product needed to complete 4 projects, PDF instruction sheet
(inks need to be purchased separately)

Two page 12 X 12  scrapbook layout includes: 1 new release stamp set (same stamp set as card kit), product needed to complete a two page 12 X 12 scrapbook layout, PDF instruction sheet
(inks need to be purchased separately)


There are two cost options: 



6 month club membership:


  • $24.95 plus tax / shipping - Either of the two kit options will be billed and mailed out starting the 15th of each month for your 6 months commitment. 
  • During your club membership you will receive 10% off of any FSJ product you purchase - Cool huh?
  • You will sign a basic agreement committing yourself to a 6 month membership. If for any reason you decided/need to drop out prior to the fulfillment of your club membership you will be billed a $24.95 penalty fee.

a la carte kits:

  • $29.95 plus tax / shipping - Either of the two kit options will be billed and mailed out starting the 15th of each month
  • This is a month to month kit - you will need to manually order your kit every month
  • This kit option does NOT receive the 10% product discount
Whether you choose to order the a la carte kit or what I feel is your best option, the membership club, you will receive amazing projects that will be specifically designed using the newly released stamp set ( not available for retail sale for months to come)

I have been using Fun Stampers Journey products since the company first started. I have re-created many cards that have been designed to showcase  FSJ products. I can HONESTLY say that the product and projects you will receive for either of the kits that you choose, will bring a smile to your face.

Two of the four projects that you will get to make when you order the August Kit of the Month
Aren't these darling cute?

This is the stamp set for the #JBCrew Kit of the Month for August

The registration for ordering these kit options will open up shortly.
