NEW product giveaway! Banners made easy!

 

We love banners!  But we wanted an easier and quicker way to complete our finished projects.  Precut banner pads take away the tedious work of cutting each banner.  Simply choose the style you want, tear from the gummed pad, trim or fold the top down and get to creating!! 

Want to add a name of sentiment to your banner?  No problem!  We've got large stickers you can choose from that will make your message pop...OR....use our printed chipboard alphabets or icons!  Top it off with larger-than-life, self-adhesive rhinestones.

................................................................................

Now for the GIVEAWAY part!!  (the best part, right??)

Leave a comment below and tell us what your favorite trend is right now.  It can be in scrapbooking, mixed media, general crafting, art, etc.  What floats your boat today??  We'd love to hear! 

Next Wednesday, February 1st, I'll pick 2 lucky people to receive a generous assortment of the NEW banners!! 

GOOD LUCK!!

 

BATS flying out of my chimney?!?

No, not really!  I'm just starting my mantle decorations for Halloween.

I had so much fun using our new glitter bat wall sticks™!! They are easy to use and won't leave a residue when it's time to take them down.  I know that sounds a bit like a commercial but it's true and it's important to me when I'm putting up temporary decorations!!

I'm now in the middle of covering some letters with our Halloween paper to spell out BOO!  I'll post more of the progress of the mantle!

laptop stickers make it easy...and cute!

I finally had to break down and get a new computer.  Mine had really seen better days.  And as I was getting ready to hand this one over, I had to take off my laptop stickers...of course from me & my BIG ideas!  This one is my favorite. 

It lets me express things that are important for me to remember on a daily basis.  AND the best part is that they are inexpensive, easy to use and they're temporary so they won't leave any sticky residue.  You can change the look of your laptop without breaking the bank.  It's a fun way to express yourself! 

But remember...just because they say laptop stickers don't let that fence you in!  These oversized stickers are great for anything!

Oh boy, oh boy, am I excited to share with you guys our new ALPHAchips™ stickers!  There are 44, count them 44!, ALPHAchips™ in 4 different fonts with different colors and specialty treatments (glitter, foil, or UV).  Look for them at JoAnn and Michael's stores.  If you don't see them, ask for them!

With over 100 pieces in each package you'll have 5 pages of letters and numbers perfect for scrapbooking, card-making, school projects, signs/tags, etc.!! The best part is that each piece already has adhesive on the back so applying the ALPHAchips™ will be quick and easy.

living creatively for the cause!

The MAMBI family has been affected by a variety of different cancers.  A diagnosis of cancer is always life changing.  It alters awareness and makes life seem very precious.

Education, Awareness, Early Detection and Treatment are critical.

We have created fun, “lifestyle” products to support breast cancer and celebrate SURVIVORS!  These colorful products, full of bling, will be available in MAY.

..................................................................................................................................

One very special breast cancer SURVIVOR is Kay McConnaughey.  Kay is a MAMBI artist.  She was the first...the creator of the beloved "stick kids" and so much more! 

Here is Kay's story...

Box Kit Bonanza!

Happy New Year, everyone!  Hannah here and I'd like to share with you a Box Kit explosion from MAMBI!  There are so many box kits to choose from that I had to take two pictures to show you all of them.

Each Box Kit comes with an 8"x8" album containing 12 sleeves, 20- 8"x8" papers, a soft spoken™, a sticker sheet, a small talk™, 2 colored ribbon, and rhinestones or brads!  Whoa!  Plus each Kit is on a different theme so they'll be great as a gift too.  Check them out at a Jo-Ann store near you!

I used the Baby Boy Kit to make a gift for a friend of mine who just had a baby.  She's definitely doesn't have time to scrap so I did the work for her and all she has to do is add photos.  To make it easier for her I used post-its to indicate what size picture to put on the on page and where.  Here are some of the layouts from the ablum I made for her. 

Journey Collection, Another Look

Happy Friday, Hannah here!  Everyone at work is in love with our new Journey Collection.  I thought it was worth another look of such a beautiful collection.  Over 30 items to help memorialize your next vacation, staycation, or just celebrating life as a journey.  Look for brand new items from MAMBI, like paper tape (oooo!), metal charms (ahhh!), and a portable-sized embellishment kit (love it!!). 

Here's another page layout idea using the Journey Collection.  If you missed Steph's previous post with more ideas, click here. 

  

New collection: Journey...now available!

I am in love with this new collection.  Last year when Journey was "being born"...we were all waiting for the day the product actually arrived.  We do that a lot here at mambi.  Working almost a year ahead of when product actually hits the shelves is hard.  But now, it's is here!!

Journey is a new travel themed collection with an eclectic mix of vintage and modern elements.  Available now at your local Michael's!

Here are a few more pages to get you inspired!
