P.S. I Love You

Posted on January 30, 2012 by Stamp with Jini

Today’s swap from Leadership was made using the P.S. I Love You stamp set. Fellow Demo Lynn Anderson used our Big Shot and our new Adorning Accents Embossing Folder to give her card a lot of texture and interest.

I really like all the images in this set because the images are great for punching. That makes cards very easy to do for a large group. But P.S. I Love You isn’t just for Valentine’s Day it is also wonderful for weddings and anniversaries too.

Supplies:

Stamp Set: P.S. I Love You

Inks: Real Red

Paper: Real Red and Whisper White

Accessories: Scallop Circle Punch, 1 ¼” and 1″ Circle Punches, Big Shot, Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder and Adorning Accents Embossing Folders, Whisper White 5/8″ Satin Ribbon and Real Red 1/8″ Taffeta Ribbon

Take It to Heart Washer Necklace

Posted on January 23, 2012 by Stamp with Jini

Here are my Take It to Heart washer necklaces and the last of my Leadership swaps. I always like to make a 3D item for swapping and as I’ve mentioned before I love the bird image from the Take It to Heart stamp set. I’ve wanted to try these little washer necklaces since I saw them sooo…. I used the Take It to Heart stamp set and made these in both in a pink version and a blue version. I also made one using the Mixed Bunch stamp set which I thought turned out very cool too.

My daughter, who I use as my stamping critic, since I can always get a very honest response from her, thought these were so cool she wanted to give them as her Christmas gifts to all her girl friends – Since they were such a hit with Kaitlin I knew I had to make these for one of my Leadership swaps.

If you would like to learn how to make these Take It to Heart Washer Necklaces yourself I’ll be giving a class on them next month. Check back in the next couple of days. I’ll be posting more information.

Take It to Heart Leadership Swap

Posted on January 16, 2012 by Stamp with Jini

I love the bird image from the Take It to Heart stamp set and of course our new coordinating Framelits from the new Occasions Mini Catalog don’t you? So I definitely wanted to use it for at least one of my swaps for the upcoming Leadership Conference in Texas that starts on Wednesday.

Soo… This week I’ll be sharing with you some of my swaps that I made for Leadership. I haven’t posted lately since I have been working feverishly on them to get them finished in time. Once again I didn’t start early enough since I couldn’t make up my mind which designs I wanted to make.

Here is the first card I decided to do. It took me a while to come up with the design but I was very happy with the end result and the guys in my house thought it makes a nice masculine card too which is always a plus.

My card uses the Take It to Heart stamp set, Paper Doily Die, and the Hearts Collection Framelits Dies. Don’t you just love all the new coordinating products in the new Occasions Mini? I knew I just had to have the Loving Thoughts stamp set for the sentiment when I saw it– it is just so versatile and is great with the Take It to Heart sets banner. I chose to make a sympathy card this time. I’d love to hear what you think – Leave me a comment and let me know.

If you didn’t get a copy of your own Occasions Mini Catalog just email me at [email protected] with your name, address and phone number and I’ll be happy to send one out to you.

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Take It to Heart and Loving Thoughts

Inks: Jet Black StazOn and Pear Pizzazz

Paper: Basic Gray, Pear Pizzazz, Baja Breeze, and Whisper White

Accessories: Baja Breeze ½” Seam Binding Ribbon, Hearts Collection Framelits, Paper Doily Sizzlits Die, Big Shot, Square Lattice Embossing Folder, Wonderful Watercolor Crayons, Bender Pen, Paper Snips and Dimensionals

Look at my new Heat Tool holder!

Posted on January 10, 2012 by Stamp with Jini

Do you like tools and organizing to help you in your paper crafting? I know I do and I’ve had a wish list that has been growing along with my love of stamping. My son, Johnathan, who enjoys stamping, was trying to come up with ideas for me for Christmas because his funds were limited. He has been spending a lot of time in the work shop since landscaping is slow right now. He’s been playing with his “toys” during his college break and came up with some wonderful gifts for Christmas that have been on my list for awhile. I thought I would share them with you today. Forgive me for “bragging” a bit – I’m a proud mom.

First is a non stamping gift – it’s a coffee mug holder for my kitchen wall. I’ve been collecting coffee cups since my first school trip to Germany in high school and so have quite a collection from the different places I’ve been over the years.

The second item is a heat tool holder so that I can work hands free. He made several of these for me as he fine tuned his own version of this idea. One in pine that is stain grade, one in MDF that is paintable and finally he surprised me with a beautiful one that he made out of a black walnut stump from the yard which was part of my Christmas gift. (Everyone thought these were great when they saw them so he’s making some up to sell.)

His last gift was a ribbon holder for my desk. He is still “tweaking” this design a bit before he makes it into a wall unit for me but so far it is working great!
