It’s National Coffee Day

Posted on September 29, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

Yep, seriously – Did you know that today is National Coffee Day? I was surprised to see it scrolling across my tv screen this morning. I guess I should really pay closer attendtion to something soooo important. LOL!

And since my sister is a coffee fiend I thought I’d make a quick card to send her in order to celebrate this important date.

I made the focal point on this card using our Perfect Blend stamp set (130745/131392) and the Ovals Collection Framelits Dies (129381). I’ve used my Cherry Cobbler and Skin Tone Blendabilities Markers to color my coffee cup and the Trim the Tree Designer Series Paper Stack as inspiration for my color pallet.

Did you know that the Ovals Collection Framelits Dies are part of the Weekly Deals that end tonight at 11:50 p.m. (MT)? So if you don’t have this collection of Framlits Dies it is a great time to get them and save.

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Perfect Blend (130745/131392)

Inks: Memento Tuxedo Black Pad (132708)

Paper: Trim the Tree Designer Series Paper Stack (135824), Sahara Sand (121043), Early Espresso (119686), Cherry Cobbler (119685), and Whisper White card stock (100730)

Wondrous Wreath Bundle Tips

Posted on September 26, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

Here is another card that I’ve created using the Wondrous Wreath Bundle (137624). I’ve changed the basic design up a bit and have tried this wreath using the Cherry Cobbler Ink just to see what happens LOL. I really find I’m loving this photopolymer option. They are so easy to line up since you can see through them.

I’ve used a slightly quicker version of my card I shared with you HERE simply by using a piece of the wood grain pattern paper from our Motley Monsters Designer Series Paper instead of stamping the background and embossing, but I think I like it just as well. And the Motley Monsters Designer Series Paper is great for all kinds of fall projects, as you can see isn’t strictly just for Halloween.

Wonder how I get my wreaths lined up so well? Well, several of you have asked me how I do it and so I thought the easiest way would be to show you. So here is a quick video tutorial for you – I call it my Wondrous Wreath Bundle Tips Video Tutorial.

If you love this bundle you’ll be happy to hear when you place an order with me online using my Hostess Code you’ll get a FREE Tutorial that includes all kinds of great projects using this set! So why not place an order today and get your FREE tutorial along with your favorite stamping supplies!

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Wondrous Wreath (135047), and For All Things (135152/135155)

Inks: Crushed Curry (131173), Cherry Cobbler (126966), and Blackberry Bliss (133642)

Paper: Motley Monsters Designer Series Paper (135819), Blackberry Bliss (133675), and Whisper White card stock (100730)

Marvelous Metallic Pumpkins

Posted on September 25, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

I love to learn new techniques. Do you? Today’s project combines two things I love techniques and the Stampin’ Blendabilities Markers. Whoo hoo! I find myself using my Blendabilities all the time – they are just so much fun to color with and I’m not really a coloring type of person normally. But I’m finding coloring with my Blendabilities is very relaxing and I always feel so accomplished when I’m finish coloring an image LOL.

I’ve used the Fall Fest stamp set and coordinating Fun Fall Framelits that are available in a money saving Bundle (137628) for this project. This is such a great set for the fall, it’s not such for Halloween as you can see.

So wondering what and how I did this? It is sooooo easy and it really gives your project a WOW effect. I’m hoping you can see the wonderful look that this little pumpkin has in my photo.

Want to learn this really quick and easy technique? I’ve made a quick video for you. So without delay – Here is my Marvelous Metallic Pumpkins Video Tutorial.

Love it? All you need is a sold image for this project and you’re set to go – the ideas are endless. I haven’t noticed there is any problem so far with my Stampin’ Blendabilities Markers – The only tip is lighter hand when coloring is better since the StazOn Ink is also alcohol based too much pressure picks up the StazOn. That is why for your regular projects you’ll want to use our Memento Tuxedo Black Pad.

Want to learn more about Stampin’ Blendabilities? I’ve got a Blend with Friends Class coming up in October. Not only will you get to practice with the Blendabilities Markers, but the class includes a bundle of products that will get you started. Sound interesting?

Why not contact me today (706 754-7124 or [email protected]) to learn more about the Blend with Friends Class or you can click HERE to see my full calendar of events. I think you’ll really love using our Stampin’ Blendabilities Markers once you try them and they are such a great deal too!

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Fall Fest (135194), For All Things (135152/135155), and Gorgeous Grunge (130514/130517)

Ink: White Cotton StazOn Pad (106960), Tangerine Tango (1269416), Sahara Sand (126976), Bermuda Bay (131171), and Crushed Curry Classic Ink Pads (131173)

Cardstock: Gold Foil (132622), Bermuda Bay (131197), and Whisper White card stock (100730)

Wondrous Wreaths

Posted on September 19, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

Do you love to decorate your front door for the different seasons and holidays? I know I do. So the Wondrous Wreaths stamp set and Wonderful Wreath framelits are perfect for fall and the holiday season. The color choices are endless for the different holidays and since it comes in a bundle (137624), you have the choice of getting it all and saving too!

I chose to do this card using a fall theme and since purple is the new “in color” you are seeing when out and about in fall décor’ I added a Blackberry Bliss ribbon.

I also decided to make this card look like my front door so I used the Hardwood Background stamp and stamped it in Mossy Meadow onto my Mossy Meadow card stock. I cut the layer into four pieces after I stamped it to make it look more like my door panels.

I love the hello fall sentiment that you can find in the For All Things stamp set – and a wanted a rich bold look, so I pulled out my Crushed Curry Embossing Powder. I really love the rich look Embossing Powder gives and this new color is great for all your fall projects – Just a tip make sure that your ink is dry from the background stamp before you emboss or you’ll end up having embossing powder on your wood grain too. (And of course your Embossing Buddy will make your embossing so much easier and prevent those little stray particles from adhering.)

So what do you think? Does it feel like fall to you?

Love this set and want it? Well when you place an Online order with me and use my Hostess Code HKNSYMNZ I’ll send you a FREE Tutorial with instructions to create 4 fun projects using the Wonderful Wreath stamp set!

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Wondrous Wreath (135047), Hardwood Background (133032/133035), and For All Things (135152/135155)

Inks: Crushed Curry (131173), Cajun Craze (126965), Blackberry Bliss (133642), Mossy Meadow (133645), and Versa Mark (102283)

Paper: Mossy Meadow (133676) and Whisper White card stock (100730)
