Label Love

Posted on June 13, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

If you like punches you are going to love this new stamp set Label Love (item 130619/130622) found on page 33 in our NEW 2013-2014 Catalog! The Label Love stamp set coordinates with the Artisan Label Punch (item 130920) and is great for all kinds of different occasions. No fussy cutting with this set and I’m definitely a punch kind of girl. How about you?

My card today was made during my weekend retreat and was part of our shoebox swaps. My friend Aniko designed this card and I tweaked it a little bit – that is the fun of a shoebox swap after all, being able to change it up a bit to suite you personality.

This Label Love card was my first opportunity to use our NEW Candy Dots and I’ve got to tell you that if you haven’t ordered any yet, you’ll want to. You’re going to loooove them hands down! And since they come in all the colors they are a great deal – just start by picking your favorite color family or if you can’t resist get them all!

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Label Love (item 130619/130622) and Bring on the Cake (item 128490/121958)

Inks: Versa Mark and Night of Navy

Paper: Gingham Garden Designer Series Paper (item 129310), Night of Navy, Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight and Whisper White

Accessories: Brights Candy Dots (item 130931), Gingham Garden Designer Washi Tape (item 129314), and Artisan Label Punch (item 130920)

Six-Sided Sampler Birthday

Posted on June 10, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

Today’s card is one that I created this weekend during the Blue Mountain Stamper’s Retreat with my brother in mind. I thought this set, with its great hexagon images, would be perfect for a masculine card. His birthday was Saturday so this will be a bit late, but I’m sure he won’t mind. I used the Six-Sided Sampler Bundle (item 132725/132724) along with the Really Good Greetings (item 130330/130333) from the NEW 2013-2014 Catalog.

Isn’t it great that we have more bundles offered in the NEW 2013-2014 Catalog like the NEW Six-Sided Sampler Bundle? Not only do you get the stamp set and punch, but you’ll get a 15% discount when ordering them together! It’s a win, win right?

I mentioned in my last post that I was getting ready for my Blue Mountain Stampers’ Retreat. I can’t tell you how much fun I had spending the whole weekend with my fellow demonstrators. I believe everyone whole heartedly agreed that we should at least make it a yearly event, maybe more – This event is now one of the perks of being part of my team – Fellowship, Fun and Sharing (along with an all night slumber party! What great girl time or just time away from the stresses of regular life, yippee!) Some of the girls have never been to my home here in Clarkesville so they really enjoyed the scenery and quiet. And believe me creative juices flowed well into the night; I know I was shocked to see it was the week hours of the morning when I looked up at the clock!

Here is a shot of my classroom set up and ready for the event.

A snack table for goodies to recharge and of course lots of coffee, caffeine and chocolate at the ready!

And another of some of us working

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Six-Sided Sampler (item 130953/130956), Really Good Greetings (item 130330/130333)

Inks: Crushed Curry, Night of Navy, Cherry Cobbler, and Smoky Slate

Paper: Crushed Curry, Night of Navy, Cherry Cobbler, and Very Vanilla

Accessories: Hexagon Punch (item 130919), Dimensionals, and Stampin’ Write Markers

Too Cool – Big Shot Magnetic Platform

Posted on June 5, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

I’m posting a bit late today since I side tracked by my new box of goodies that came in that big brown truck. Don’t you love to see it pulling into your driveway? I know I do, it means I get to start creating with new goodies– and with this weekend’s Blue Mountain Stampers’ Retreat I’m getting ready to have a weekend marathon of stamping with my gal pals. Yippie!

I couldn’t wait to try out my NEW Big Shot Magnetic Platform (item 130658) and was truly impressed at how easy it makes things. You are going to love, love, love it! Check out this video showing you how it works.

Cool huh?

Vintage Soho Subway

Now for the card I promised to show you yesterday. Today’s card is one that came from a recent shoebox swap with my TEAM, the Blue Mountain Stampers. This card was created by JoAnn who loves vintage. She combined the Soho Subway Designer Series Paper with the butterflies made with the NEW 2013-2015 In Colors. When stamping the butterflies JoAnn alternated the colors of ink she used, instead of making them monochromatic. Very clever I thought.

Everyone’s card turns out slightly different since we assemble the cards ourselves using hers as our guide. It’s always great fun to see how everyone changes it up a bit to suit their style.

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Papillon Potpourri (item 132058/123759)

Inks: 2013-2015 In Color Collection (item 131204)

Paper: Soho Subway Designer Series Paper (item 130140), Very Vanilla, and 2013-2015 In Colors

Accessories: Basic Pearls (item 119247), Tea Lace Paper Doilies (item 129399), Stampin’ Distress Tool (item 127562), Linen Thread (item 104199), Very Vintage Designer Buttons (item 129327), Stampin’ Sponges (item 101610)

New Catalog Organization

Posted on June 3, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

Ok you’ve seen the NEW 2013-2014 Catalog now and you’re wondering how to organize your craft area, right? Well I’ve got some wonderful items to help make this easier for you.

First you may have notice that there is no accessory index in the back again. Since this is a must for me (I’m old school I guess) I created one for you.

Accessories Index PDF

I also have created a quick reference for the Designer Series Paper. I like this chart and keep it handy when I’m looking for the colors in the Designer Series Paper. I know that Stampin’ Up! now lists the colors included on the tag board included in the package but this just works better for me than pulling out the pack when I get ready to create.

2013-2014 Designer Series Paper Chart PDF

Labels – boy these make things so easy. I like to have everything consistent so with the NEW 2013-2014 Catalog including the Color Refresh this year I have created new labels for my hanging file folders, Refill drawers, and my Classic Ink Pads.

I know that the Classic Ink Pads now come with these great labels stuck to the bottom for us to use (which I love), but I like to also know the Color Collection so I still use them in addition to the ones already included. No OCD here, right? LOL

Labels for Stamp Pads and Refill drawers (Avery Labels 5160)

I punch these out with my Word Window Punch

And for your Card Stock I’ve created these labels. I use them on my hanging file folders in my drawers.
