Silly Safari Baby Card Tutorial

Posted on July 11, 2025 by Stamp with Jini

I’m back with my weekly tutorial and today I’m sharing a fun little card that uses my card sketch #8. I love this sketch for whimsical cards like this using the Silly Safari Stamp set (165254).

I find this set a lot of fun to work with the images are fun and the sentiments quirky. They are super for all ages and the young at heart. And it also comes in a money saving bundle with a fun circle punch too if you love punches!

Back to today’s tutorial – want to see this fun little card welcoming a new little one?

This card was done in traditional baby colors using the Brights family – you’ll see that the colors Azure Afternoon, Daffodil Delight, and Granny Apple Green have been used. All bright cheerful colors perfect for this type of card.

You’ll love the color family packs of Designer Series Paper that have all 10 colors in them along with 4 fun patterns – they are great when wanting to build your collection and are very versatile too since they come in a 6×6 stack.

Today’s the Last Day of our Two Tone Card Stock Sale!!!

Happy Hibiscus

Posted on July 10, 2025 by Stamp with Jini

I’ve just returned from a wonderful tropical vacation where these lovely flowers are the Hawaiian state flower, specifically the yellow Hibiscus. The Happy Hibiscus Bundle (Online Exclusive 164880) is a bundle that shows off these lovely large blooms.

This bundle includes all kinds of goodies, not only the stamp set but a wonderful Hybrid Embossing Folder and Dies that will make these flowers have tons of texture and depth.

Today’s cards show off this lovely bundle. This first card is done in our Strawberry Slush and uses the card stock and simple stamping to do the work for you. A bit of the Shy Shamrock Baker’s Twine gives a fun pop of color behind them.

And on this second card the warm colors Lemon Lolly, Calypso Coral, and Poppy Parade give it a warm tropical feel.

The stamp set has some lovely all occasion sentiments that I think you’ll enjoy.

On a personal note and speaking of tropical – my husband and I were blessed with being able to join Kaitlin, our daughter and her husband Jon along with his parents for their North Georgia Winds performance at Pearl Harbor last month for a wreath laying ceremony.

Our daughter had the honor of conducting a piece, the Elegy for the USS Arizona.

And the vets in our group, which included my husband and our Kaitlin’s Father in Law were also part of the ceremony.

That’s my Larry on the left. After we released our leis over the memorial for the Arizona honoring the fallen.

It was a very poignant experience. We were glad that we were able to be part of the day.

Awesome Trusty Tools

Posted on June 24, 2025 by Stamp with Jini

The Trust Tools Stamp Set (163274) and Dies (162722) is a fun one for my family, we’ve been doing home improvements for as long as I can remember.

And our children joined us in projects from a young age learning as we did. So this stamp set was one that I know I would use over and over again.

Today’s card is one I thought was great as soon as I saw it and I could see myself CASING.

The background stamped using the Painted Stripes stamp (Online Exclusive 165437) uses our rich Secret Sea, an 2025-2027 In Color . The little paint brush has been colored with our Blender Pens (102845) and Classic Ink Pads. This way of adding color has added depth and shade variances to the image. The piece of Basic Beige 3/8″ Classic Ribbon (165216) adds a fun bit of texture to the project.

What do you think? Do you like this card as much as I do? If you are a DYI person I think you’ll enjoy this stamp set and dies too.

Along the Lines meets Layered Thoughts

Posted on June 23, 2025 by Stamp with Jini

Its summer and that means the bikes are out. Here in Clarkesville we actually had thousands of bicycles that will be staying during their overnight stop during the Bicycle Ride Across Georgia.

So today’s card is for the bicycle lover.

The card uses two of our stand alone stamp sets from the 2025 Annual Catalog, our Along These Lines stamp set (165352) and Layered Thoughts Stamp set (165346).

An image set like this is always a great choice and allows you to team it up with the sentiments you choose.

Today’s card uses two of our fun In Colors, Shy Shamrock and Strawberry Slush and the background uses the Joined together 3D Embossing Folder (165170) which create a great backdrop with lots of texture. A bit of ink used on our Blending Brushes (160518/153611) was used to add color to the hill.

The bicycle tire pulls in the sentiment color with it’s pop of color that comes from our 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls (165192).

The Life is an adventure sentiment fits perfectly for this project and comes from the Playground of Life stamp set (165328).

If this line art style of imagery appeals to you, why not check out this and other stamp sets you can find in the Online Store. All of them can also be found in the 2025 Annual Catalog.

Silly Safari Go Wild Card Tutorial

Posted on June 20, 2025 by Stamp with Jini

My daughter loves the zoo and always has. When traveling she tries to visit the local zoo or one on the way to her destination. So when I saw the Silly Safari Bundle (165260) in the 2025 Annual Catalog I just knew it was one I had to have!

So for today’s card I’ve used one of my Card Sketches and the sweet little leopard image.

I’ve used my Stampin’ Blends to color him so that I’ve got a bold cheerful look as I teamed up the image with one of the NEW patterns found in the Brights Designer Series Paper Assortment (165301).

Here is a quick video tutorial showing how I created this card along with the PDF which contains a complete supply list, link, measurements and more.

Silly Safari Go Wild Card Tutorial PDF

And as I mentioned I’ve used a Card Sketch for this project. I’ve been giving you a PDF so you can create one too and use it as a design tool too.

Put it on a ring or place it in my little crate that I shared with you HERE the choice is yours!

And when you create the different Card Sketches you’ll also be using color combinations to inspire you! How fun is that?

Monochromatic Sweet Blooms

Posted on June 19, 2025 by Stamp with Jini

Today’s card is a monochromatic card using one of our new 2057-2027 In Colors, Secret Sea. This color in a deep, deep blue and a wonderful addition to our colors. I just love using it as a neutral on the things I’ve been creating.

This card uses the Sweet Blooms Dies (165186) and the sentiments to build it’s focal point. The Secret Sea Card stock panels have been dry embossed with the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder (163414) for some added texture and a piece of white twine from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack (155475) is wrapped around a couple of those panels and tied into a knot.

And of course for a bit of shine the 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls (165192) have been tucked into the left hand corner. You’re going to LOVE these two options for Flat Pearls with their iridescent sheen in all 10 In Colors.

Monochromatic cards are a great way to get started stamping. It’s how I started building my color collection when I first started stamping. I’d picked a favorite color, such as Secret Sea, and then each month purchased the ink pad, card stock pack, and one two accessories to go with it. It’s an easy way to get started creating.

And did you know that today’s Sweet Blooms Bundle (165186) is part of a Suite of products? The Florals in Bloom Suite (165193) can be found on page 40 – 47 of the Annual Catalog and also has Memory Keeping options that coordinate with it too.

Do you want it all? During June when you purchase a suite or products from a suite you’ll be able to take advantage of the BOGO 50% offer. So why not check out this Suite and others in my Online Store?
