Annual Hostess Appreciation Brunch

Posted on February 28, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

This past Saturday was my 3rd^nd Annual Hostess Appreciation Brunch. I really appreciate my hostess and like the opportunity to pamper them a bit.

I’m sorry to say that I forgot to take pictures during the event to share with you since we were having so much fun stamping. Oh well, during the Hostess Appreciation Brunch we visited, shared, ate some goodies, and did a special project together.

Even though I forgot to take pictures during the event I thought I would share with you the project that we made – 4 note cards and a matching holder to put them. It was a bit chaotic but everyone seemed to enjoy it.

I love the way this little set turned out. Collages are really popular right now and this set is great as a quick gift.

Want to see more? Come back tomorrow and I’ll show you the little gift item I made for all my Hostesses for attending!

Pinwheel Wishes Tutorial

Posted on February 26, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

Have you ever wondered what happens at one of my monthly Blue Mountain Stampers’ Meetings? Well I thought I would share with you one of the projects we made during my February TEAM meeting.

I’ve had several of you ask me if I knew any tricks on how to make these cute little pinwheels using our NEW Pinwheel Sizzlits Die from the Spring Catalog. They are sooo stinking cute, but they are small so they can be a challenge to put together if you don’t know a few tricks.

Since I made about 100 of them for my Leadership swaps in January I had plenty of time to try out different methods of putting them together. Today I thought I’d share with you what method worked best for me so I put together a Tips for Quick & Easy Pinwheels Video Tutorial to show you what I learned.

Want to make one of your own Pinwheel Wishes card? Well you can, just click Here for a FREE PDF TUTORIAL with measurements and directions just for you. I hope you have as much fun making these cute little Pinwheels as I did.

Pinwheel Gift Bag

Posted on February 25, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

Today I thought I’d share with you a little gift item that I gave my down line when I got back from Leadership in Orlando. I love the way this little pinwheel gift bag turned out – don’t you?

You can create these little Pinwheels with our NEW Pinwheel Sizzlits Die (item 129411). I made about 100 of them when creating one of my swaps for Leadership. You can click HERE to see the card I made for my Leadership swaps.

Can you see the clouds on the bag? I really like using the Cloudy Day Embossing Folder with the pinwheels since it’s fun and whimsical.

Did you know pinwheels symbolize a lot of different things to different people? Recently I found that the Chinese use pinwheels a lot during their New Year’s Celebrations due to their symbolism. While looking around – turning obstacles into opportunities quickly became my favorite and the creative jump start for creating this little pinwheel gift bag. So… I came up with the sentiment, Transform your Dreams for the bag’s banner.

Were you wondering how I created this banner? Well I used My Digital Studio and the FREE Sale-a-Bration Digital Disc. The One Big Sale-a-Bration 2013 Digital Disk is a great item to choose since it contains all of the Sale-a-bration items that you can earn FREE.

Oops – I bet your wondering what goodie I put inside my pinwheel gift bag.

It contains a souvenir shot glass from Orlando. These little shot glasses are a great way to store your Multipurpose Liquid Glue since it always keeps the glue at the tip and ready to use. It’s rather funny to see a group of us demonstrators pulling our shot glasses during an event!

Love these little Pinwheels as much as I do? Why not come back tomorrow to see my NEW video – Tips for Quick & Easy Pinwheels.

Supplies:

Paper: Sycamore Street Designer Series Paper (item 127540), Whisper White card stock

A Perfect Day for Vintage Verses

Posted on February 20, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

Have you ever had one of those days? We’ll I’ve just spent the morning putting up 8 heads of cabbage that my son Johnathan grew in his garden. I’ve got to say that I was impressed when he picked them earlier because they were so large and was looking forward to using our favorite recipe when I put it up. Since they’ve been sitting in my frig taking up so much room I decided I had better do something with them, right? Well fast forward a bit – to make a long story short I should have paid more attention to what I was doing!

After cooking up over half of the cabbage I realized I was using ground mustard instead of ground ginger to season the cabbage with! Thankfully my little oops didn’t turn out so bad, and actually my husband might even enjoy it – since now the cabbage has a bit of a kick to it! However, I’ll be paying more attention as I make the rest of the batches up the right way.

So all this got me to thinking of a card that I made at Leadership using the Vintage Verses Stamp Set (item 129633/129636) that is currently available as a FREE Sale-a-bration item. I thought the verse was appropriate for today.

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Vintage Verses Stamp Set (item 129633/129636)

Inks: Rich Razzleberry

Paper: Sycamore Street Designer Series Paper (item 127540), Summer Starfruit, Rich Razzleberry, and Whisper White
