Saying Goodbye to the Pop ‘n Cuts Dies & More

Posted on April 28, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

I was sad to see some of my favorite Big Shot Accessories were on the Retirement list this spring. One of my favorites is the Card Base Pop ‘n Cuts Die (130099). I have had so much fun creating cards and gift items with this collection of dies and framelits and I’ve created a number of different video tutorials using them.

So today here are some of my favorite projects made with Big Shot Dies and Framelits along with some of our retiring stamp sets.

I made this recently for Easter and holds a Ghirardelli chocolate. This little gift has an accompanying video tutorial and you can click HERE to see my original post.

This little gift box was created using the Oh, Hello (131931/130733) and the Fabulous Phrases Stamp Sets (128577/120501) both are on the Retirement List too. Click HERE to see my original post.

These are gift card holders and you can click HERE, HERE and HERE to see details and a video on how to make them.

Here is a fun birthday card made with the Dress Form Pop ‘n Cuts Die (130100) and Dress Up Framelits ( 130101) that coordinate with the Pop ‘n Cuts die collection.

I created a fun and flirty skirt for this one with our Tea Lace Paper Doilies (129399). Click HERE to see my original post.

And here are some cards just with the Dress Up Framelits (130101) that are also on the Retirement List.

And if you love butterflies here is a card that my friend made me last year using our soon to be retired Beautiful Butterflies Bigz Die (114507)

This one was one I created for my Hostess Appreciation Brunch – I did a technique using our Window Sheets (114323) and Classic Stampin’ Ink Refills.

This one uses another of our retiring items the Gingham Garden Washi Tape (129314)

And this last card is made with our Peekaboo Frames Bigz L Die (124587) and the Blast Off Stamp Set (131958/125946).

Open the hatch and you get a little surprise!

Scrapbooking with Wetlands

Posted on April 25, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

Today I thought I would share with you the scrapbook page I created using the Wetlands Stamp Set (126695/126697) that I submitted for the Convention Challenge.

One of the things I love about being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator is that Stampin’ Up! is always giving us opportunities to learn and grow on a personal level, in addition to indulging our creative side. I love that Stampin’ Up! gives us the tools to create projects that we can use in our every day lives. And as we say goodbye to our 2013 Catalog and welcome our new 2014 Catalog Stampin’ Up! has offered a challenge to demonstrators with a contest to participate in Convention Displays.

I was inspired by a card that I had made earlier for my image and color pallet. I thought the Wetlands stamp set was just perfect for this project, (you’ll notice the sea oats in the photo below.)

I had a photo that I wanted to make into a home décor item as a gift for my friend. So that’s where I started. (and no, these adorable children aren’t mine LOL.)

Can you tell what I used for my base? Well, I used a piece of Pool Party from a package of the Subtles Core’dinations Card Stock (129954) that I spritzed a Stampin’ Spritzer and Baked Brown Sugar to add that feel of sand and sea spray from the ocean.

Did you know that our Core’dinations Card Stock is part of the Retirement List? I was rather sad to see it there since it is great for all kinds of things and I reach for it quite often. It has a wonderful texture on one side and is smooth on the other. So you can not only use it to sand and tear, but it is also great to use to add texture to your project too! And if you love to scrapbook a 12 x 12 page you’re in luck because it comes in pack of 12 x 12 sheets of assorted colors.

Now I just need to place it into a 12 x 12 frame that I’m making for it before I give it to her. I hope she’ll like it. I just love the way it turned out.

Saying Goodbye to Clockworks & Secret Garden

Posted on April 24, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

When the retirement list posted Monday I wasn’t surprised that items were going fast, but the good news is that there are a lot of great items still available, so if you haven’t taken a look at the retirement list – you still can! (click here to see the printable retirement list)

Today’s cards are made with two more of the stamp sets on the retirement list. This first one is Clockworks (131973/127292) and it is a great set for all kinds of reasons. Not only does this set make great masculine cards, but there are some great images that you can use as backgrounds too.

Aren’t these cards great and the color pallets are so different.

These next cards are made with the Secret Garden Stamp Set (129144) and coordinating Secret Garden Framelit Dies (129372) and while the bundle is no longer available you can still order the stamp set and framelits separately.

I love the colors used for this card and did you notice the Scallop Trim Border Punch (118402) that is also on the retirement list?

FREE SHIPPING ENDS TOMORROW!

Yikes, if you haven’t already taken advantage of our FREE SHIPPING promotion you have until 11:50 p.m. (MT) tomorrow to get your items AND save on shipping!

Zoo Review & World Treasures

Posted on April 23, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

Over the next several weeks as we say goodbye to some of our old favorites to make way for some new ones, I thought I would share with you some of the cards that I’ve made or have enjoyed receiving in swaps over the years. Sound like fun?

Well today I’m going to start with the Zoo Review Stamp Set (128769/122199).

I love the way this little penguin has been popped up and since he is embossed with Black Embossing Powder, he’s got an added touch of texture too.

This last one is one of my favorite swaps with this set, not only do I love giraffes but the 5/8″ Victoria Crochet Trim (118481) and Seam Binding Ribbon adds such a elegant touch. And did you know that the Victoria Crochet Trim is part of our Weekly Deals?

Peacocks are very popular and the stamp set World Treasure (132100/126767) has a lovely friendship sentiment that is included.

Here is one from the 2013 Leadership boards in Orlando.

And this final card is fun since it swings open.

Notice the scallop edge made with our retiring Adorning Accents Edgelits (125595)?

Backyard Basics Easter & More

Posted on April 18, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

Need a quick and easy Easter card for Sunday? I’ve got three great cards for you to try.

This first one uses the Backyard Basics Bundle (132729/132728) which includes the Backyard Basics stamp set (129255/129258) and the Backyard Basics Framelit Dies (129380).

This card uses the Gingham Garden Designer Series Paper (129310), along with our Tea Lace Paper Doilies and the Strawberry Slush 3/8″ Stretch Ruffle Trim (130023).

How about some punch art? My friend Teresa made this card using the Woodgrain Background Stamp (128763/127808) and punches. I thought it was adorable and so easy to make.

And this last card is one I made using the Lattice Die (115958). I’ve used the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack (118309) for the flowers and added a few tiny pearls.

If you’d like to see how I made the cross, just stop by my face book page, Stamp with Jini. And while your there why not “like” my page.
