I don't know about you, but inspiration is definitely one of the keystones of my paper crafting and I am always in search of knew ways to seek it, explore it and bottle it up for future projects that are in need of a little jumpstart.
Jennifer McGuire has a new online class that will begin September 12th that focuses on inspiration and showing you innovative techniques along with re-inventing some of the basics you might have learned long ago. This class was previously only taught in stores and it is certainly a special treat to have it now brought directly to your craft room through Online Card Classes.

including tried-and-true favorites as well as new tips and techniques. This technique-heavy class will explore the many forms of resist, creative uses of distress inks, die cut and embossing techniques along with other fabulous finishing touches and using your stamps with more than just the usual suspects of ink & paper.
Through daily videos, you will learn creative ways to make your supplies go farther, such as creating your own embellishments and making the most of your inks, stamps and papers. There will also be 15+ additional card ideas using techniques shown.
This class runs from September 12 – 23 and costs only $19 (I've paid more than that for just a little idea book!).
It will include:
- 12+ videos and pdfs (Yes, TWELVE!!!!!)
- Over 40 techniques & tips

My inspiration comes from many places…lots of blogs, (yours and PTI DT included)magazines and catalogs…but it seems if I’m in a stamping “funk”, the best thing to do is to clean/organize my desk, paper and stamps. I always run across something that inspires me and gets me stamping again!

What a brilliant idea here. I find most of my inspiration from visiting blogs and my past experience of teaching stamping classes at unfortunately 2 wonderful stamping stores that are now closed. Oh how I miss seeing things up close and touching all of those goodies before I purchased them. But to be fair, online things have made it so easy to learn new things also. That is why I am liking this idea so much.

I find much inspiration from blogs and Pinterest. But I am often inspired by clothing, household items like china, and of course, nature. Inspiration is all around us if we are open to it.
Connie F. says

I have always loved photographs, billboards, advertisements and whatnot to get inspiration…be it a layout, color scheme, theme, graphic, etc. Photographs being my fav…but billboards and business signs kinda do it for me too!! HA!!

Holly Field says
I think all your PTI customers will agree that you and your DT are a HUGE inspiration. I love seeing all of your ideas and tweaking them to make them my own. I know I am more apt to purchase Papercrafts when your sets are featured too for additional inspiration.
Thanks for the chance to win.

patty thomas says
What a great class! Thanks for a chance…
Paula says
I love looking at blogs, however, I have limited computer time, so I also keep magazines handy that I can peruse and mark when I have a few minutes while waiting in lines or in offices.
Karen W says
Lots of my inspiration comes from the PTI DT (and you, of course), but I have a pretty long list of blogs I follow and I get more than enough inspiration from them. I’m also on the lookout for great color combinations everywhere—on the street, in magazines, where ever!
Anna says
I’ve been following blogs for about a year to find inspirations and I then found your blog which I just absolutely love above all others. I love to follow all the designers as well through your blog and shopping at Papertrey Ink.

DarC says
For inspiration I check out my favorite blogs and also spend time in my studio working with self-made challenges (e.g., limited color palette and/or patterned papers, or using specific techniques).
Heather R says
I surround myself with things I love. Whether it’s visiting Pintrest, blogs, catalogs or pretty patterned paper and fabrics, the more beautiful things I see the better. My trouble is getting overwhelmed with inspiration though! Maybe a class like this could help me pair down and organize my thoughts!
Lesley says
I love your blog and Pinterest! And I love finding color combinations in everyday products.
Nina Therese Nilsen says
WOW! What a greate class! Love Your blog! Always something sxciting and new to read and learn! :0)
Erica Hettwer says
Right now, Pinterest is my favorite source of inspiration. I love that I can take my iPhone right into my scrap room and it doesn’t take up a lot of room on my desk.
Super Jen says
This class looks so inviting. I’d love to treat myself to some time learning new techniques. There are so many things I want to try but never can seem to find the time to experiment. I’m a full-time working mom with a young family so I craft only a fraction as often as I would like.
As far as where I find inspiration: I have so much I can’t keep up! I read a few blogs, look at store galleries, buy an occasional magazine. But it seems like a trend has come and gone before I’ve had to work it in to my schedule.
Laura Isham says
Ohhhh…..what a great idea. I spend lots of time on the internet looking for inspiration for my products. A one-stop resource would be fantastic!
Linda says
For me, inspiration comes from taking the time to look around me and notice all the colors I see everyday…..and your blog of course. When ever I am looking for a jump start I can count on any one of the PTI designers to get me going. I also love the fact that participants in this class will have continuous access to the material since many of us don’t have the luxury of “playing and creating” every day.
Pam Alexander says
Wow, this looks like a great class! I am definately an idea book junkie. We just moved and my husband couldnm’t believe my library of books. They are such a great resource, I can’t live without them!
Susan B says
Wow – this sounds like a lot of fun!!! I get most of my inspiration from websites/blogs of sensational artists including Nichole Heady, Debbie Olson, Mary Fish, Julee Tilman, and many, many more! I’d love to win this one!
Roni says
This offer comes at a perfect time-I was just noticing that my ideas seem to be at a standstill! I too go to blogs for inspiration-although I do not like to CASE-I am a teacher and that feels like cheating to me! I have never been involved with any kind of class like this-thanks for offering it! I’ll gladly fill a “spot”!
Lisa P says
This class looks so fun!
see mary stamp says
This sounds phenomenal and to have a go to sample board to go to at the end of the class – wonderful. Aside from the monthly dose of inspiration I get from PTI – I’ve been meeting with friends once a month to make cards from our PTI goodies. It’s always exciting to share in inspiring one another.
Vera Wirianta says
Lately my favorite way to find inspiration is through Pinterest and blog browsing of course. 🙂
Kimberli Sarsfield says
My favorite way to gain inspiration is to look at my favorite stamper’s blogs or thumb through magazines for design or color inspiration.

Beth says
Looking at the work of other people really inspires me to look at what I have in a new way, or try a new technique.
Janice Marcham says

Gail E says
I get so inspired by those that share their ideas on blogs, along with being inspired by what I encounter in everyday life.
tricia says
This class will be amazing, I’m sure! I often get inspiration from other crafters – just seeing someone else’s perspective opens my eyes to new possibilities!

Helen Lebrett says
My best source of inspiration comes from Papercrafts magazine (that’s where I found several cards that used Papertrey stamps, and through that I found all the Papertrey goodness!) and catalogs. I mark with sticky notes all the cards I want to make and then go through them later when I need an idea. thanks for the chance to win a spot! Looks like a fantastic set of classes!! I’m going to have to sign up for this anyway if I don’t win because it looks too good to pass up!!!
Gabby says
What I read and what I hear. Impressions from such inspire me to express myself through paper crafting, writing or both. Second to that is situations … for example, who I am creating the card for and why. 🙂
Kathy E. says
I read blogs every chance I get (which isn’t nearly often enough). I am just in awe of the talent out there and the generosity they show by sharing their talent with the rest of us.
Terri E. says
Loved it last time and I would love to have fun again.
It’s a good life!
Terri E.

Vannessa says
I seem to find inspiration everywhere at the moment – on the internet, on blogs, colours in clothing that people are wearing, but my weirdest latest one was a scene from Diary of a Wimpy Kid, in which 2 boys are eating the hugest ice creams ever. I just had to make an ice cream card for that one with my new Sweet As Can Be set – you can read all about it here: http://saffiresstamping.blogspot.com/2011/08/ive-just-found-new-challenge-blog-well.html

dundas645@aol.com
Vicki B. says
My favorite way to get inspiration is to just sit down and start looking through various catalogs for inspiration, and then visiting all my favorite bloggers (you and PTI design team especially). After I’ve done all that, I then pull out my papers and other crafting supplies. A class on inspiration would be great!
Julie Carlisle says
I love to watch the clothing in stores as seasons change!
nancy faith says
A great inspiration is the ‘paint’ store. Whether it be Benjamin Moore or Sherwin Williams, they always have colors displayed and the paint chip sample cards which can really put some colors together in different ways
Thanks for the opportunity…

The best time for me to think is when I’m vacuuming. That is when I come up with some of my best ideas! Now just to find the time to put all of my ideas to use. I love finding inspiration with color by just looking at flowers outside. I have to say I LOVE papertrey ink blogs, too.

blog hopping, always starting right here and then moving to my fav PTI designers.

Funnily enough, lately I have been finding inspiration in things like my kids clothes. The style trends are similar to the papercrafting industry and it is easy to swap them over. Mind you, I source a lot of my construction inspiration on other people’s blogs.

The class sounds amazing! I like to thumb through a handful of tried and true catalogs for ideas. One of my absolute favorites is the Crate & Barrel catalog.

coco says
Watching people work with their hands is deeply inspiring to me… which is why I love the Make-It Monday videos, among others. Thanks so much for your lovely work and for the chance to participate in Jennifer’s class.

I have a few way to gain inspiration. I pick the stamp set I want to use first…then I pick a color scheme. I am all about color!!! I fiddle through my colored pencils and copics. Once I decide on my colors then I hit the decorative papers! With all of the beautiful papers out there how could you not be inspired.

Christy Beans says
I follow a lot of blogs so there’s almost always something that makes my crafy self sit up and take notice. But my guilty I-should-have-done-housework-or-something-useful pleasure is my tendency to get sucked into YouTube craftyland. I follow a link to one of Jennifer’s videos, for example, for “just a quick look” and then I see something else intriguing in the suggestion list and an hour (or so!) later, my head is spinning with possibilities. =)

I love to see what everyone else is doing on their blogs. And, I am addicted to stamping magazines, too! Thanks for the chance to win a spot in this class.

I find for me there is inspiration everywhere. Blogs, magazines, even when I go to a store I get inspiration from their displays. I do love all of the PTI’s designers and want to thank them for sharing their creative ideas with all of us.

I usually draw my inspiration from my stamps and thinking abiut the person i’m making the card for. I also get very inspired by the work of fellow stampers. 🙂

Seeing what others have made is very inspiring to me. Even shopping can inspire! Jennifer’s u-tubes and classes have been one of my favorite ways to learn. She has such a calming way of teaching.

If I’m totally lost for inspiration I usually find some when I’m browsing through magazines. Some of the ads are really little wonders of design. Also setting yourself a challenge for using a particular colour of ink or just the one stamp can get the creative juices going. And whe all else fails there’s always the internet!
Would love to win a free class!

Deborah B. says
I love to get inspiration from the world around me. I was once inspired by the shirt of a man sitting next to me in my Sunday school class. I also began creating a card in my head after looking at the designs and colors on a menu in a restaurant. Inspiration is all around. Now, different techniques to use all of this inspiration….this class is for me!
