Something new from RG Studio 360

~ Alex Gomez Stamps ~ Leave a comment

Hello friends, welcome back to my Crafty Lounge. It’s Alex, and it’s been a while since I’ve last posted. First off, I resigned from FSJ a couple months ago. I know, big change for me but it was definitely the right decision for me. Lately, I’ve been destashing and working on organizing my craft room with a little bit of crafting here and there.

I’ve been anxiously waiting for my friend Richard Garay to launch his stamp and papers from RG Studio 360. The good news is that the day has finally come. I am currently in the lobby of the hotel for the RISE event that takes place tomorrow here in Scottsdale, Arizona. I am so incredibly happy and blessed to be able to be here by Richard and Gabby’s side supporting them on this great adventure.

I look forward to the days ahead and my new crafty adventures with RG Studio 360. I’ve already started to form a team, we’re called the Studio Squad. If you’re interested in learning more about this and the Certified Studio Designer opportunity, contact me directly. I’m on Facebook at http://www.Facebook.com/CraftyLounge or Instagram at @alex_stamps

Can’t wait to share more about this new adventure.

-Alex

5 Tips to get organized with Fun Stampers Journey storage totes and pouches

~ Alex Gomez Stamps ~ 6 Comments
Fun Stampers Journey with Alex Gomez Coach 29
Journey Stamp Storage Black & White

Hello and Happy New Year! January is a time for changes, resolutions, and staying or even getting organized and meeting goals.  Today I wanted to show you how I keep organized and save time when creating cards and paper craft projects.  I use Fun Stampers Journey’s Journey Stamp Storage Black & White Totes along with large storage pouches, and small storage pouches.

Here are some of my top 5 tips for getting organized.

1.  Pre-cut your card bases.  One of the time saving tips that I absolutely use is having pre-cut card bases ready to go.  I store these pre-cut card bases in the large storage pouches inside the large journey stamp storage Black & White totes.  This keeps my card bases organized and safe from dust.

2.  Pre-cut your card layers.  Don’t disrupt your creativity by wasting time cutting your layering pieces.  Having card bases ready to layer on your cards makes card making a breeze.  Store your layers using the small storage pouches and keep them files by color in  either the large or small journey stamp storage totes.

3. Save scraps filed by color.  One way to save paper is by saving scraps. You never know when you’ll need 2 inch slivers for a project.  Keep your colors files in our large or small storage pouches for easy creating.

4.  Keep cards filed by occasion.  Having cards already made and ready to send out is ideal. When making a card, I like to create multiples of my favorites and keep them filed away in my small journey stamp storage totes.  I also use my stamp storage totes to file past card class samples.

5.  Keep projects in progress in a single tote.  When going to crops or even working at home for card class, I like to keep all the items needed for a project together.  One easy way to do this is by storing all the items needed for a card project in a storage tote.  The totes offer a easy to grasp handle so they are great for traveling to crops.

I hope these tips and photos will help you stay organized this year.  It’s a great time to stock up on these supplies because they are 20% off in the month of January 2017.  If you have any questions, please email me at fsjcoachalex@gmail.com

Plan With Me | Halloween Planner Layout with Alex Gomez using Fun Stampers Journey stamps

Black & White Color Crush Planner – Fun Stampers Journey Websters Pages Planner

Hello Crafty Friends and Welcome back to my blog. Today, I wanted to show you how I set up my personal planner this week. I just love the Holiday season. I love decorating, sending out cards and of course glamming up my planner!

This week I’m using Fun Stampers Journey stamps, inks, accessories like washi and candy dots to decorate.  In this layout, I am using the hostess exclusive set called Hallow’s Eve.  Contact me for hosing a party and earning this cute stamp set.

Since I didn’t have any orange washi handy, I went ahead and painted my whip cream sparkle tape using the Citrus Cooler Journey Silk.   I love the way it turned out.  It added that pop of color I was looking for.  If you’re not into the traditional orange, black and purples for Halloween.  I will have an upcoming layout in a non-traditional color scheme.

Here are a few more pictures of my Halloween layout this week.  I’m also on instagram at  @alex_stamps, so be sure to check out my instagram stories. I usually film my process when I’m creating cards and planner layouts.  If you’re interested in any of the products used, check out my Fun Stampers Journey store at FSJAlex.com.  We’ve also got an amazing sale going on this month.  Our planners, planner stamps and accessories are on sale for an amazing 25% off! If you haven’t tried our planners, now is the time.  If you have tried our planners, be sure to stock up on inserts for 2018. They are on sale now so you don’t want to miss out.

I’ll be back later this week with some more planner projects.
Until then,

– Alex
