Sweetbriar Rose

Posted on February 26, 2015 by Stamp with Jini

With all the winter weather we’ve been having I thought I would share a card that gives us little breath of spring. I know I’m ready for winter to be over and I can’t say we’ve had a really harsh one over all here in North Georgia.

I’ve used the single stamp, Sweetbriar Rose to create today’s card.

And to color it I’ve used our Stampin’ Blendabilities Marker Assortments. The four new colors you’ll find in our Occasions Catalog are wonderful for spring since they are soft colors. Blendabilities makes coloring images a snap and they give you a wonderful bold pop of color. It’s nice having choices, isn’t it?

On a personal note I thought I would share with you two photos that I took this morning. This first one is when I got up this morning. I really thought it was a rather pretty with the sunrise.

And this second photo is one of the same view that I took about an hour later. The sun is super cool, and it shows you just how limited our view was due to the snow. Don’t you love nature?

I’m hoping that you are enjoying the snow from your nice warm home and haven’t had any weather related problems.

We’ve been extremely lucky the past two weeks and Habersham does a great job of cleaning up over all. I was pleasantly surprised when the “snow plow” came through about 7:30 a.m. to clear our road. And while things are delayed it looks like it will be a good day over all. Chewie, our dog has been out playing and of course must stand on the porch at the edge of the snow and make sure she is heard – LOL!

Lovely Amazing You

Posted on February 25, 2015 by Stamp with Jini

When I saw this latest Photopolymer stamp set at Leadership as a sneak peek I knew it was one that I definitely wanted. The fun font and wonderful sentiments were a must for my collection. And of course who can resist the feather that is included!

So when I received my set I immediately set to work on a special card and here is what I ended up with.

I designed this card for my Team meeting. I wanted to highlight the fantastic Irresistibly You Specialty Designer Series Paper that you can earn for FREE during Sale-a-bration with a qualifying purchase.

This paper has a glossy white pattern on it and is perfect for coloring using a variety of techniques – coloring reveals the pattern! And for this card we used 6 different coloring techniques! We did one square for each technique using different Coastal Cabana and Crisp Cantaloupe products.

So what do you think? Can you name all six ways to color this wonderful Specialty Designer Series Paper? Well, after you guess you can scroll down to the bottom of this post to see if you were right. (I’ve noted which product was used for each pattern in my supply list.)

So You

Posted on February 24, 2015 by Stamp with Jini

Have you noticed the So You photopolymer stamp set in the Occasions Catalog? It’s on page 48 and coordinates with the fun So You Project kit, perfect for those who take all those Instagram photo. Admit it you’ve taken some too! LOL

And while the stamp set is designed to coordinate with this great little 4×4 album it’s great for cards too. Check out this fun card I made recently for a get together with my fellow demonstrators this past Sunday.

I’ve used the Free Sale-a-bration Designer Series Paper Best Year Ever and coordinating Accessory Pack along with our Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blendabilities to color the Rhinestone.

So what do you think? It brought a smile to my two guys faces when they saw it. They loved the clean feel of the card.

Just a bit of business…

Have you looked for something in my Online Store and not been able to find it? Well due to things that are beyond Stampin’ Up!s control, they have chosen to turn off buttons/items while they are back ordered – But no worries when the supply is replenished they will be available to order again.

Thankfully the west coast ports have now returned to normal after labor disputes, but there is a back log. And while Stampin’ Up! has chosen other methods of transportation too – so have others which has slowed that option.

If you have a questions about an item – feel free to contact me. I can try to help or advise you about what your options are. I’m always here to help.

Petal Potpourri, Ice Storm & more

Posted on February 17, 2015 by Stamp with Jini

This past weekend I was able to share some time with a lovely group of ladies at the Tanglewood Lodge in Helen. Here is my spot all set up Friday and ready to go. Yes, I pack heavy. LOL I’m sure you know how that goes.

And here are my friend and I at the Big Shot & Punch table working on our projects. Fun, laughter and fellowship – what could be better? I really enjoyed my time with these ladies – there are always all kinds of different crafting projects going on and it’s fun to see everyone’s projects

Today’s card is one I created at the retreat and it uses the Petal Potpourri stamp set from the Occasions Catalog along with the Another Thank You Photopolymer stamp set.

Can you see the fun heart shape on the sentiment? This is one of our Itty Bitty Accents Epoxy Stickers colored with the Wisteria Wonder Stampin’ Blendabilities – what fun these are to add a little extra interest and shine to an area you want to highlight. (I’ve listed all the supplies below for you)

Of course since the retreat was held on Valentine’s weekend I did a little something for my guys before I left the house using the January Paper Pumpkin Kit stamp set.

I also thought you’d enjoy seeing what my son did for his girlfriend – she loves bacon!

We cooked these together the night before I left for the retreat but he put them together for their date. They really look like roses I thought – clever idea. When I posted the video I saw on face book onto his timeline I was just joking – but he loved the idea and it turns out so did his girlfriend!

Unfortunately we did have to cut our weekend short and so we headed out Sunday night since the weather reports for the incoming storm were kind of spotty. Better safe than sorry, right?

When I got home Sunday night I found this cute little critter trying to help me unpack.

Turns out Raven is a pet and had gotten out of her pasture – She just wanted to play and found in a friend in our dog Chewie. You’ll be happy to know Raven was picked up before the worst of the storm came in and is happy back with her family now.

As you can see we’ve had some excitement here in North Georgia over the last few days – thankfully it wasn’t nearly as bad as they predicted although the ice has taken down a lot of trees and power in the Atlanta area.

It seems we faired a bit better in Clarkesville – unfortunately this afternoon I won’t be at the Clarkesville Library for my Caring with Cards event. The library is closed due to the weather, but I will be there on March 17th so why not plan to stop by then?

On a personal note – I thought I’d share some photos with you of the yard. Ice storms are always more fun when your safe inside. Hopefully you and your family are safe and warm too.

This first picture was from last night as everyone was getting home. There were already some bad spots of ice forming and part of the road was shut down because of it. Most of what we got yesterday was sleet- you could really hear it pinging on the surfaces.

And here is what it looks like this morning – thankfully the sun is out and it is warming up so things are starting to melt.

Well I’d better go since both my guys are home. Stop on by again when I’ll be sharing more of the projects that I made during my weekend at Tanglewood.

And of course if you’ve signed up for my Newsletter you’ll be receiving some in your exclusive project from my 6 Weeks of Sale-a-bration Newletters too! If you haven’t – it’s not too late to sign up and receive yours too. Just click on the button at the top right of my blog, fill out the form for my Newsletter and confirm the request so you’ll get yours too. Then sit back and relax.

Friends Who Know

Posted on February 11, 2015 by Stamp with Jini

Single stamps such as Friends Who Know are a great choice since they are very economical and allow you to try something without a lot of cost up front. We’ve got several options like this in our current offerings. And the Friends Who Know stamp has a chalk board look, which continues to trendy right now.

Check out this card that I made recently for a friend using the Friends Who Know stamp (134081). I’ve made this card using bright colors that pop and very different from a traditional chalk board look – but I really like it.

I love the fact that it coordinates with a Framelits collection so I can cut it out easily too.

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Friends Who Know (134081)

Inks: Bermuda Bay (131171)

Paper: Back to Black Designer Series Paper (133700), Tangerine Tango (111349), Basic Black (121045), and Whisper White Card Stock (100730)
