Happy Thanksgiving

Posted on November 27, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

As we spend today with family and friends enjoying the goodies of the holiday and all it entails – I just wanted to take a few minutes and tell you how thankful I am to you, my stamping friends. I appreciate each of you and the blessings that you’ve brought into my life.

When I started this journey, almost 6 years ago I never would have believed I would blessed with so many new friends who share a my passion for paper crafting.

I’m going to quickly going to share a couple of projects with you that I thought would bring a smile to your face today. So whether you are sipping your coffee, getting ready for your feast or kicking your feet up after a long day, resting with a full tummy – enjoy.

This first project is a nugget box that I made to hold my blessing mix that I make each year. You can see how I made the nugget box HERE.

And this second is the cutest little turkey that Tamara gave to me at one of our Blue Mountain Stampers’ team meetings.

It’s made using our Gift Bow Die – cute right? Told you LOL. How many bows did she use? Isn’t it great you can cut so many layers with this die at one time? Perfect for this little guy.

That’s it for the day I hope you’ll have a wonderful, safe and blessed Thanksgiving Day!

For All Things Triangle Box & NEW Weekly Deals

Posted on November 25, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

I’ll be sharing some great little treats to place next to the place settings this Thanksgiving the next couple days. So why not check them all out.

Today’s is a triangle box

You can learn how to make them HERE on my YouTube Channel by watching my Fall Fest Triangle Box Tutorial. They are quick and easy to my Color Me Autumn Designer Series Paper that I cut a 1/4″ smaller than my card stock. That allowed a bit of the Blackberry Bliss card stock to peek out along the edges. Can you see it?

I’ve used the For All Things stamp set and the Note Tag Punch to create the tag on my triangle box. And of course the yummy Blackberry Bliss 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon – love this color and it’s soooo on trend.

Stop back tomorrow when I’ll show you several projects I made using the Curvy Keepsake Box Thinlits Die.

I love to use simple techniques when creating cards and today’s card uses a technique that I will be highlighting in my Technique Tuesday class this month.

So what do you think? Would you like to learn more about techniques?

Well, if you would like to learn new techniques or brush up on some that you’ve done in the past – my Technique Tuesday class may just the thing for you.

More Team Fun….

Posted on November 19, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

Yesterday I shared with you some of the projects we made and today I’ll be sharing some of the swaps that I’ve received during my Team Meetings.

I love this first card that Cindy made with all the texture – it feels like it just jumps off the card.

Can you believe the fence was simple to make? Cindy stamped the Hardwood Stamp (133032/133035) onto Crumb Cake card stock and then used the Triangle Punch (133375) to create the pickets. Simple, right?

The sentiments are from the Honeycomb Hello set (134075/134078). The colors in this Designer Series Paper helped making the choice of colors for this card easy! Do you know what Designer Series Paper was used for the banner? If you guessed Color Me Autumn (135820), you’re right!

This next card is from my Team member Tamara and uses the Seasonally Scattered stamp set (135020/135023).

This card uses a easy sponging technique.

Are techniques something that you would like to learn about? Why not check out this month’s up coming Technique Tuesday class? There is still time to sign up and you’ll learn two fun techniques that are easy to reproduce. Click HERE for my Calendar of Events and more information.

Here is a card made using For All Things (135152/135155). You know this is one of my favorite fall sets – you can’t go wrong with it.

I love the way that Terry pulled a couple of threads from the 1 1/4″ Burlap Ribbon (132140) for her bow. And do you know how she created the corners for the sentiment? It is simply our Project Life Corner Punch (135346) that has been used on two opposite corners. Easy, but adds a great touch.

And this last card that I’ll be sharing with you today is a swing card made using our Circle Card Thinlit Die (133480). This die makes a swing card soooooo easy!

Teresa used the Making Spirits Bright stamp set (135086/135089) found on page 48 in the Holiday Catalog. It’s a fun set that is easy to miss – but includes fun quirky sentiments along with it’s images. If you haven’t seen it why not check it out?

The Motley Monsters Designer Series Paper (135819) was used to give this card a fall feel.

So what do you think? Which is your favorite? Why not leave me a comment and let me know.

And if you would you like to see what being part of my team is all about I’d love to talk with you about joining my team. If you’d like to learn more about my team, The Blue Mountain Stampers click HERE.

Team Time means Fun with Friends

Posted on November 18, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

I love being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator because it means not only do I get to stamp with you, but it also means I have a Team of friends that I’m able to get together with once a month and share my passion with.

Today’s cards are some that I made during our last meeting. I love this time of fellowship and stamping – and these ladies have become great friends over the past 5 years that I’ve been a Demonstrator.

Want to see what we made together? I’ve got 4 cards to share with you today, all of them are very different.

This first card is made using the Festival of Trees stamp set (135059), Tree Punch (135859) and the All is Calm Designer Series Paper (135823) along with the yummy Lost Lagoon 3/8″ Silky Taffeta Ribbon (1358741).

This next one is made using our 2014-2016 In Colors and the For All Things stamp set (135152/135155). It is stamped on our White Vellum Card Stock (101856). I hope you can seem the shimmer of the Gold Metallic Encore Ink (132141) that the Gold Metallic Baker’s Twine (132975) picks up on.

This next card uses the Four Feathers (135050/135053) and Mingle All the Way (135770/135773) stamp sets along with the Color Me Autumn Designer Series Paper (135820) and the Under the Tree Specialty Designer Series Paper (132825). I love all the colors and texture on this card – Did you know you can cut the 1 1/4″ Burlap Ribbon using our Large Scallop Framelit (127019)? How cool is that!

And my final card that I’ll be sharing with you today is the Visions of Santa (135167) card. Simply punch out the Santa’s of your choice from the Santa & Co. Designer Series Paper (135821) using the 1″ Square Punch (124094) and voila! A quick and easy card that’s fun!

Have you ever thought about becoming a Demonstrator? Would you like to join the fun and be part of a team? Whether you want to simply get a discount on what buy or make a little extra cash for the holidays now is a great time to join! I’d love to talk with you about joining my team.

Today’s card is another clean and simple card I created with the For All Things stamp set. I simply stamped the background image using So Saffron and Tangelo Twist and then used Island Indigo for my sentiment and acorns. I really like this color combination. It’s not so traditional.

Fun little note cards…

Posted on November 10, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

I love making these fun little 3×3 note cards. They are quick and easy to make and a great way to use up those little pieces of Designer Series Paper that you have laying around.

These note cards I made use some of my Motley Monsters Designer Series paper (135819) that I’ve got left over from my Halloween cards.

Of course, one of my favorite tools are punches. Love, love, love punches. They make things quick and simple and this combination of 1 3/4″ Circle and 2 3/8″ Scallop make a quick and simple focus point for my 3×3 note cards.

So what do you think? Here are a couple of more note cards that I created recently to tuck into my orders.

This last one is made using the Merry Everything stamp set (135068/135071) and it’s coordinating Note Tag Punch (135860). Of course you can get these two items in a money saving Bundle (135860). I used scraps from the Trim the Tree Designer Series Paper Stack (135824) and Crisp Cantalope Thick Baker’s Twine (135636).

Just a couple of quick reminders

Fun Autumn Wooden Elements

Posted on November 5, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

Have you seen the fun Autumn Wooden Elements in our Holiday Catalog on page 46? I love these fun little wooden pieces.

Here is a card that I made using the little oak leaf. I love them natural, but thought it would be fun to try and add some color this time. Adding color was really simple to do. I simply grabbed one of my Stampin’ Sponges and sponged. Yep, it was that easy!

Supplies:

Stamp Set: For All Things (135152/135155)

Inks: Hello Honey (133643), Tangelo Twist (133646), and Island Indigo (126986)

Hello Fall!

Posted on October 7, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

Well there was a nip in the air yesterday morning as I went to the grocery store – it was the first time I pulled on a light weight jacket this fall. Aaaahhh fall – the cool nights and cooler days. It will be almost 80 here today – so fall is such a mixed bag! It’s a good day for painting doors I guess – I just need to get motivated and my stamps are calling me. LOL

Todays card is one I stamped after looking out the window for a bit yesterday. With the wind, the leaves were rolling across the yard.

This card is clean and simple and I love the technique of using the darker layer and then the smaller Whisper White card on the top. It allows for that pop of color without having to create an inside panel for writing.

I stamped this card using Tangelo Twist and Crushed Curry – two great fall colors. I used the Bermuda Bay for the sentiment and base. A bit untraditional, but I love the color. So what do you think?

For All Things & World Card Making Day

Posted on October 6, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

Did you know this past Saturday was World Card Making Day? Well it was, and so today I thought I’d show you one of the 12 cards we stamped on Saturday during my card making event. Everyone who attended was able to make 12 cards for all different kinds of occasions.

This card is made using the For All Things stamp set . I love the colors of fall and as I sit here looking out my window I can already see the Crushed Curry color showing up in the trees across the street. We’ve had a real cold snap here in North Georgia this past week so I’m sure there will be a lot more color soon and the leaf watchers will be heading for the mountains to enjoy the fall color.

Here is a picture from the World Card Making Day event on Saturday.

We had a lot of fun visiting while we stamped together. I’m so blessed to have such a great group of ladies!
