With You in Mind

Posted on January 21, 2025 by Stamp with Jini

Today’s cards all use the With You In Mind stamp set (164747). This stamp set is one of our stand along sets from our January – April Mini and you can find it on page 18.

Sets like this are great to add to your collection or for beginner stampers since they have all occasion sentiment and images. This set uses a particularly lovely mix of fonts and bigger sentiments that make wonderful focal points. Check out todays cards using this set.

This first card teams up the sentiment with punches and adds a bit of texture with the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder (164049) and Antique Pearls (164679). Simple stamping and a bit of sponging around the sentiment that has been popped up adds a bit more interest.

this next card is stamped in Calypso Coral and Boho Blue and adds some Earth Tones Shimmer Gems (164070) to the center of the flowers.

Again a bit of color around the sentiment panel softens the edge. And finally a birthday card.

Simple stamping in Wild Wheat was used for the sentiment and the simple stamp off technique done in Cajun Craze gives us 3 tones of the same color for the cupcakes. the strips of Designer Series Paper on a diagonal add a bit of interest and whimsy and pulls all the colors together. A great quick and easy card with lots of interest and perfect for a winter birthday.

All these cards have been teamed up with the Timeless Paid 6×6 Designer Series Paper (164678) also found in the Mini that includes a great selection of plaids in soft colors. If you haven’t checked it out you’ll be sure to want to since these patterns are great for both men and women and folks of all ages.

One More Year!

Posted on January 20, 2025 by Stamp with Jini

Want a cute little set with quirky greetings?

I love the the little images found in the One More Year stamp set (164777) and quirky sayings to create humorous cards with for family and friends. And for some reason that little pup calls out to me! Check out today’s card that uses this little fellow.

Simple stamping was done for the Soft Seafoam panel and then the cheerful circle of colors from the Beautiful Bokeh Designer Series Paper (164607) and 2″ Circle Punch (Online Exclusive 133782) create a quick and easy card. The pup has been “fussy” cut after being colored with Stampin’ Blends.

Blueberry Bushel Fun Fold Card Tutorial

Posted on January 17, 2025 by Stamp with Jini

It’s been cold here in North Georgia and while I don’t like the snow and ice to stick around long the lows at night haven’t been above freezing, so it’s still sticking around in the higher elevations and in shady spots. While it’s cold like this it makes me think of our blueberry bushes. Odd, right? But I know that the chilling hours we get now will help give me a bumper crop come June and I’ve loved picking blueberries and of course using them in all kinds of things from our bushes since our children were small.

So today’s card shows off those wonderful blueberries I’m anticipating with a fun fold. Open the front panel and you’ll see the beautiful Designer Series Paper inside.

Open the second panel and you’ll have a full panel for writing.

Want to see how I made it? Why not check out this Video Tutorial showing you how I cut this fun fold card and decorated it using the Blueberry Bushel Stamp set Last Chance List (163432) and Brights Designer Series Paper Assortment (163775).

And of course here is a PDF with a complete supply list and measurements so you can make one too.

Bright Borders

Posted on January 16, 2025 by Stamp with Jini

Today’s cards both use the Bright Borders stamp set (164753) that you can find on page 58 of the January – April Mini Catalog.

This stamp set is an all occasions set that includes some wonderful sentiments and images. It also coordinates with the NEW To the Point Label Punch (164568) making it a great choice for beginning stampers or quick project making. I loved sets like this when I first started stamping since it took the stress of lining up an image perfectly on my stamped panel. With a punch it’s easy, stamp on a scrap piece, line up the image inside the punch and cut! Who doesn’t love that?

This first card is done in our Soft Sea Foam and Petal Pink giving it a softer feel perfect for spring.

The Soft Waves 3D Embossing Folder (164695) gives some interest to the background and the lovely Petal Pink 3/8″ Scalloped Ribbon (164680) adds more texture with it’s fine details and scalloped edge. For a little bolder look how about this next card done in Flirty Flamingo and Pecan Pie?

Simple stamping was used to create the card front and a panel from our Brights Designer Series Paper Assortment (163775). A bit of white from our Basics Wow! Embossing Powder (165679) steps it up and adds a bit of shine to the sentiment panel. The white ribbon from the Petal Pink & White 1/4″ Diagonal Trim Combo Pack (163417) and the Party Dots (164602) add some texture.

So what do you think? This is a great set to use with all kinds of products that you may already have on hand.

Umbrella Days

Posted on January 15, 2025 by Stamp with Jini

We all need to send cards for comfort and to let someone know we are thinking of them and the Online Exclusive Umbrella Days Bundle (164895) is a nice set for these kinds of cards.

Today’s card uses this bundle to create a sweet little card lending support.

The card also uses a panel of Take to the Sky Designer Series Paper (163436) for a back drop for this rainy day. While a bit of Clear Embossing Powder from our Basics Wow! Embossing Powder (165679) pack is used for the rain drops. In addition a simple straight line of scoring is used around the four outer edges to create a bit more interest.

I simple love the simplicity of this card to convey a special message of support to a friend. What do you think?

This thank you card uses our Gold Foil Sheets (132622) for the wreath and Gold 1 1/2″ Open Weave Ribbon (165715) to add some elegance. The little flower has been cut from Pretty In Pink card stock and has another touch of gold for the center since it uses our Tinsel Gems Four Pack (161623). And texture has been added with both the Stylish Shapes Dies (159183) and Dashing Designs 3D Embossing Folder (163483).

And for today’s final card we have a soft an lovely card that the lovely Sale-a-bration Designer Series Paper, Bloom Impressions (Sale-a-bration 164944) also.
