Snail Mail & 2021 In Color Wrap Up

Posted on April 16, 2021 by Stamp with Jini

Today’s cards use the Snail Mail Collection (155986) products. I think the Snailed It Stamp Set (156255) is just adorable with it’s quirky images and puns. It’s a bright cheerful way to spread a bit of happiness in the mail.

Check out these bright, colorful cards using the products found in this Suite.

This movement card is perfect for this fun set that folds down flat for mailing.

Game On & New In Color Comparison

Posted on April 15, 2021 by Stamp with Jini

Are you big on games? I can’t remember a time when I didn’t play cards or board games. As a child my sister and I played Chinese Checkers for hours, as a teenager Gin Rummy and Sheepshead became a way to keep busy while we waiting for the meets to begin and later on the weekends when visiting friends in college as we watched the newest fad MTV, something everyone could agree on in the common room. As an adult I loved to play games with my own children, our daughter has been come quite a shark at Gin and was the only one who could best my Mother-in-law. How about you? Do you have have fond memories of playing games too?

Today’s cards all highlight games and were stamped with our retiring stamp set Game On (152646).

This first card is a fun easel fold using a classic color combination of Basic Black and Reeal Red.

And this next card is done in Rich Razzleberry with a pop of gold coming from the Metallic Pearls (146282) used on the sentiment that has been punched out using the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch (152883).

And finally this classic Basic Gray and Very Vanilla chess card

using the Stitched Nested Label Dies (Retiring 149638). I really hate to see these dies go I reach for them a lot.

The Game On set is only available until May 3rd or while supplies last since it is part of the Retirement List and then it will be gone forever. So why not check it out today?

And as promised here is another sneak peak at the

2021 In Colors Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen

Let’s take a look at these 2 new greens that are part of our 2021-2023 In Colors. I really like them by themselves, and love them teamed up together! The colors this year I think have a subtle grey undertone which gives them a more vintage feel. Check out the Soft Succulent here with some of our other greens.

This next group shows you our 2020 In Color Just Jade for a comparison of the 2 together

Totally different, right? Which is why I’m excited about this addition of green. And now for the Evening Evergreen. I’ve given you a grouping with our darker greens for comparison.

I think you are really going to like the Evening Evergreen and think it will make a nice addition to our more neutral colors for basic stamping too.

So what do you think? Like the new colors? If you missed yesterday’s post you’ll want to check it out since I gave you a look at first two In Colors Fresh Freesia and Polished Pink. And don’t forget and make sure to stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing the last of the 2021-2023 In Colors Pale Papaya with you and some more comparisons too.

Handsomely Suited & 2021 Catalog Sneak Peek

Posted on April 14, 2021 by Stamp with Jini

If you have a hard time creating for the guys in your life the Well Suited Suite might be just the thing you need to have for creating great cards. While the Handsomely Suited stamp set (154444) is great for the guys the Suit & Tie Dies (154322) that are part of the Bundle (156240) are great for creating all kinds of projects – the choices are endless simply by mixing and matching.

Today I’ll be sharing some cards for the guys in our lives using this suite. This first one uses the fun Well Suited Designer Series Paper (154562) for a fun fold birthday card.

And this next one creates a great card for Father’s Day that’s been done in the classic color combination of red and black.

And this final card uses the Classic Label Punch (Retiring 141491) for the sentiment. Can you see the added texture in the background?

The Absolutely Argyle 3D Embossing Folder (Retiring 151590) was used to create some texture. Choose the Suite Collection (155983) and you’ll get everything in the suite in one easy number that includes a 10% discount on the Handsomely Suited Bundle too.

Why not stop by my online store and check it out? And of course while you are there you can stop by the Clearance Rack and the Last Chance List for the 2020 Annual Catalog too. There are some great discounts right now.

2021 Annual Catalog Sneak Peek

The NEW Annual Catalogs are in the mail and are starting to arrive. If you are a current customer of mine you’ll be getting yours soon. So today I thought I’d share my unboxing for some of the great items I was able to PreOrder from the Annual Catalog.

2021 Annual Catalog PreOrder Sneak Peek Video

Of course, the In Colors are always my favorite place to start looking when I get the catalog – nothing like new colors! And this is the first year I think I’ve LOVE them all, typically there is one color that takes me a bit to fall in love with, but not this year. Here is a preview.

Fresh Freesia, Polished Pink, Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen, and Pale Papaya!!!

There is nothing like them in our color families – so over the next few days I thought I’d share some color comparisons with you. Today I’ll be highlighting Fresh Freesia and Polished Pink for you.

Fresh Freesia is a lovely shade of purple that will bring a smile to your face – I just love purple and am so happy we have this option. I’ve included the retiring Purple Posy for you in this first comparison so you can see its nothing like the Purple Posy that is retiring.

And Polished Pink is cheerful and a perfect shade of pink! A bit softer feeling than our Magenta Madness and Melon Mambo, but bolder and more of a true pink feeling than our Flirty Flamingo

So what do you think? Like the new colors?

Don’t forget and make sure to stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing the 2021-2023 In Colors Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent with you and some more comparisons too.

Team Fun & Butterfly Brilliance

Posted on April 13, 2021 by Stamp with Jini

I love getting together with my Team everyone month, we stamp, share, and enjoy catching up. Part of our meeting is sharing projects and seeing what everyone has been stamping. This month our swap theme was the Butterfly Brilliance Bundle (155821), so I thought I’d share the wonderful projects everyone brought.

These first cards I’ll be sharing with you use the Butterfly Brilliance Bundle and some fun folds. I can’t pick a favorite? Can you? This fun fold is called a stand up card and is created with some quick score lines. Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (154883) were used to color the butterfly and then a Basic Black (121045) die cut piece was added on top.

Our Blending Brushes were used on this next card to create a lovely soft background for the butterflies and the Story Label Punch (Retiring 150076) was used to highlight the sentiment.

And finally this lovely card done using a variety of our Stampin’ Blends. Butterflies peak out from behind the card front sentiment layer.

For this next fun Pop Up Card the Dragonfly Garden Bundle (154411) was used.

The punch was used to cut out the Dragonflies from the Dandy Garden Designer Series Paper (Retiring 154297) for the center’s pop up.

Fun right? And finally a lovely card using the Best Plaid Builder Dies (Retiring 152720) and the Forever Fern Bundle (Retiring 154094).

Laying Circle Dies (151770) were used to highlight the sentiment. I just love the Pretty Peacock (Retiring), Night of Navy, and Just Jade together. How about you?

Dino Days

Posted on April 2, 2021 by Stamp with Jini

Seems like most children have a fascination with dinosaurs at some point, I know both my kids did. I’m sure that Barney had something to do with that too. LOL But who doesn’t find them fascinating, the mystery and size of them makes one wonder exactly what were they like? And while movies have given us a more “realistic” look in recent years the Dino Days stamp set (149406) is just sooo cute!

and I love the little sentiments in this set, perfect for our little ones. And for those of you who love coordinating Dino dies (149636), we have those too and they are on sale right now since it’s on the Retirement List!

This first card is done in Sahara Sand and So Saffron and the dies has been used to create the back drop using the negative space to allow the color to show through.

And how about this next card done in Night of Navy and Balmy Blue? A Sponge Dauber was used to create the clouds in the back ground

And don’t you love the “coconut” pearls on tree? Cute, right? If you have a little someone who loves dinosaurs this might be just the thing for you!

Cute Fruit

Posted on April 1, 2021 by Stamp with Jini

Do love fun colorful cards? If so you will enjoy today’s cards that pack a “punch”. LOL. Get it fruit punch? Bad pun I know but I just couldn’t resist.

The Cute Fruit stamp set (153301) is one that is part of our Cute Fruit Cards & Tag Bundle (154420) of products, making it quick and easy way to create.

While this bundle makes it easy to order with the Bundle number, you can order the items individually if you prefer. Want to see some fun cards made with this set? Such a great tropical feel to it right? Check out these fun cards using this set.

Pineapples – done in shades of Granny Apple Green and Bumblebee. This first card reminds me of my husband who loves pineapple, but never knows when they are ripe enough to cut.

I’d love to take a tour of a pineapple farm (are they called farms?) when in Maui and he’s not overly excited about it. I told him when else can you see them in the fields like that? And after his comment of not knowing when they are ripe, it is a good way to learn how to tell if they are ready to cut. That gave him pause! LOL I may just get to see take the tour now! (Personally I think that is just his excuse not to have to cut it up since he wants me to do it for him, but it sounds good to me since I’m not sure myself.)

And how about this next card using scraps. Fun, and colorful – what a great way to use up your strips of card stock. We’ve all got them in our craft rooms.

Yes, I’ll admit it I’ve got them too. And this simple technique is a great way to use them up! Think of all the possibilities.

And finally this fun little card done in Coastal Cabana, Early Espresso, Granny Apple Green and Bumblebee. How can you not smile when you see that little face?

I’m sad to say that this stamp set will be retiring and no longer available after May 3rd, so if you like it as much as I do and are ready to create, why not order yours today? Or wouldn’t this make a great gift for someone special?

The Right Triangle

Posted on March 31, 2021 by Stamp with Jini

Are you a quilter? Do you love or teach math? If so this stamp set might just peak your interest. The Right Triangle stamp set also works with the Stitched Triangles Dies (152710) which gives you more options with its fun stitching.

Check out these cards made with The Right Tangle Bundle (154079) which is retiring soon. This first card is done in a bright and cheerful color combo.

The bright Daffodil Delight teamed up with our Granny Apple Green gives you a happy feel I think. While this next card gives you a totally different feel with it’s earthy colors.

The Bumblebee and Cinnamon Cider has been used with our Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder (152718) along with the Faux Suede Trim (152472) for a bit more texture. And the sentiment is from the retiring Here’s a Card stamp set (149438).
