The Final Thank You Thursday!

Posted on October 31, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

I’ve got some fun last minute Halloween projects that I made and want to share with you today. This first one is a home décor item that I made using our Witches’ Brew Designer Washi Tape.

Don’t you love these fake pumpkins that have available the last few years? I’ve done all kinds of things with them, including having the kids carve a pumpkin that will last forever. For this project I simply cut off the top, added the Witches’ Brew Designer Washi Tape (132156) in a pattern that made me happy, placed a piece of green foam for flowers and added the mums and leaves. Quick and easy-peasy.

This second project includes some real pumpkins that Larry brought home to sit on my kitchen counter for a pop of fall color.

Sorry about the photos – it’s another rainy day here in North Georgia which can make taking pictures tricky.

I love making little treats for family and friends

so here is a great little project that holds a pack of gum.

Halloween Candy Bar Slider – surprise!

And last but not least I wanted to share a picture that my daughter sent me when she found her little Halloween Candy Bar Slider tucked into her dresser drawer at college – the timing was perfect since they had just had a dorm Halloween event where she dressed up as I Dream of Jeannie and passed out candy. (Seriously – thus the weird eye make up.) She’s such a hoot!

Best of Greetings

Posted on October 30, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

Check out this great card I made recently for my brother-in-laws birthday. I’ve used Magnificent Maple image from the Holiday Catalog and the Witches’ Brew Designer Series Paper (132185), it’s not just for Halloween as you can see. The colors it contains are great for all kinds of fall projects.

I’ve sponged the leaf image first with Summer Starfruit and then Cajun Craze. (Of course, you always want to use the lighter color first so that you don’t contaminate your ink pads.) I then stamped the sentiment in VersaMark and finally embossed it using Early Espresso Embossing Powder to add a bit more boldness.

I sponged the edges for all the layers of my focal point pieces with Early Espresso and my Stampin’ Sponge – I thought it soften the edges a bit. I also added some Stampin’ Dimensional between the Cajun Craze and Summer Starfruit layers to give it some depth.

What do you think? Hopefully my brother-in-law enjoyed his card.

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Magnificent Maple (131868), and Best of Greetings (133485)

Inks: Summer Starfruit (126991), Cajun Craze (126995), Early Espresso (126974)

Paper: Witches’ Brew Designer Series Paper (132185), Early Espresso (119686), Cajun Craze (119684), Summer Starfruit (126839), and Very Vanilla Card Stock (101650)

Accessories: Stampin’ Sponges (101610)

And these next cards are some that I’ve received in swaps and wanted to share with you. This next one also uses the Itty Bitty Banner Stamp Set (132022/126257) along with the Make a Cake set. Don’t you love the little flowers created with our Itty Bitty Shapes punch pack (118309)?

And how about these next two cards made with the stamp set Bright Blossoms (128424/125497).

One of my favorite stamp sets because it is so versatile is Gently Falling (128430/123804). This is a two step stamp set and contains 12 great images. You can create all kinds of cards and it is a great set for techniques too.

Apothecary Art Mini Note Cards

Posted on October 25, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

Apothecary Art is such a beautiful stamp set and is one of the 25 sets for 25% OFF that are on special until Monday, October 28th. This set not only has some lovely images but it coordinates with our Labels Collection Framelits so it makes things quick and easy. And who doesn’t like that, right?

Here are some great little 3″ x 3″ Mini Note Cards I made last night using our 2012-2014 In Colors during our monthly Stamp Divas meeting. These cards were quick and easy and only required one piece of card stock to create the Crumb Cake bases and focal points along with some scrap pieces of Very Vanilla. How cool is that – right?

Here is a close up of the Midnight Muse Mini Note Card – Wouldn’t this be great to tuck in with a little gift for someone special? Or even make a set as a gift?

I love getting together for our monthly meetings, we have such a great time stamping together, visiting, and sharing ideas. It’s one of the best parts, I think, of being a Demonstrator – making new friends while stamping.

Pumpkin Pie Goodie Gear Simply Created Kits

Posted on October 21, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

They’re not just for Halloween! Our Goodie Gear Simply Created Kits are a great bargain – you’ll get all kinds of goodies in this kit. Not only will you be able to make 10 quick and easy goodie bags, but you’ll have plenty of goodies left over to use in other ways too! I was pleasantly surprised by just how much you get in this kit when I opened it!

Here is a picture of my first goodie bag, basically following the suggested idea from the Holiday Catalog (on page 32) – and using only what was included in the kit. Quick and easy to do.

I used Bermuda Bay Classic Ink to stamp the sentiment using the coordinating stamp set Oh, Goodie (131886/131889) onto the precut banners included. Used the Pumpkin Pie stickers to make a “v” across the tag, and attached the sentiment. Filled the bag with some yummy candy corn M&Ms and finally I used the Bermuda Bay Baker’s Twine to tie a bow. How much easier can that get right?

And here is my “stepped” up version

For this one I used some fall peanut butter M&Ms to jump start my color pallet. I still followed the same basic design, but I added a little texture to the tag using my Chevron Embossing Folder. Added a strip of Cajun Craze card stock beneath the Pumpkin Pie sticker and snipped the ends to create the same shape as the banner. I stamped the sentiment in Cajun Craze Classic Ink. Don’t you love that everything is pre cut for you in this kit? Added one of our pre cut leaves from the Thankful Tablescape Simply Create Kit (133463) and finished it off with our yummy Summer Starfruit 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon (126846) to add a little sophistication.

Which one do you like the best? Both were a hit in my house. And yes, believe it or not I made it past my husband and son with the chocolate – LOL. Good thing I almost got the goodie bags done before they found me!

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Oh, Goodie! (131886/131889)

Inks: Bermuda Bay (131171) and Cajun Craze Classic Pads (126965)

Paper: Cajun Craze card Stock (119684)

Accessories: Pumpkin Pie Goodie Gear Simply Created Kit (132792), Thankful Tablescape Simply Created Kit (133463), Summer Starfruit 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon (126846), and Chevron Embossing Folder (127749)
