Another Thank You & Sweet Taffy

Posted on April 17, 2015 by Stamp with Jini

Do you ever fall in love with a pack of Designer Series Paper and then wonder what to do with those patterns that are left over when your done? While I loved the fun colorful pack of Sweet Taffy Designer Series Paper when I saw it, sometimes I have a harder time creating cards with larger patterns or a contemporary feel to them, how about you? Which ones stump you?

Well, I think I’ve found the answer – at least I think I found one to my problem anyhow. LOL Check out these colorful cards I made this afternoon, the bright colors just lifted my spirit after so many days of rain here in North Georgia.

I love the way they turned out, they just make me smile. So what do you think? Pumpkin Pie or Tempting Turquoise? Why not leave me a comment and let me know.

Another Thank You is just one of the sets among others that you’ll find that contain bold sentiments like this. And these larger sentiments are just perfect for a card front. Quick and easy – All I did was swipe my Embossing Buddy, stamp and emboss and voila! A bright cheerful thank you for someone special!

Just a helpful hint: make sure you use your Embossing Buddy first along with a juicy VersaMark pad – it’s the key to success when heat embossing. Now – I think I’m off to find some more bold patterns to try!

Did you know that the Retirement List is going to be announced on April 21st! Yikes, you’ll want to get your favorite In Colors, accessories and items before the list is announced. Things can be sold out quickly –

And of course with the Retirement List coming out I bet your thinking – then what? Well…..

Mother’s Love, New Weekly Deals & Butterflies Thinlits Dies

A Love Story…

Posted on April 13, 2015 by Stamp with Jini

Earlier this month my son, Johnathan celebrated his birthday. Here he is with the cake his girlfriend surprised him with. Hard to believe this guy is 23 already, after all I’m too young!

For those of you who have been stamping with me for a while, I’m sure this comes as no surprise to you – a VW emblem of all things. He was so excited.

Johnathan has been given many gifts, one of which is working with wood. He’s made several items for my craft room and our house over the years. You can see his work here and here. He’s also been gifted with the ability to work on mechanical things. I’ll never forget the shock on my friends face when he was 7, he took a look at her weedeatter and told her exactly what was wrong with it as soon as he tried to start it up. Darn, if he wasn’t right and fixed it for her on the spot.

Here is a photo of his latest project.

Yep, it’s a rail buggy – Johnathan loves to play in the dirt. LOL. His uncle had one when he was young and Johnathan loved riding in it – so last year he decided to build his own. In our garage!

What does this have to do with stamping you might well be asking yourself? Well for Johnathan’s birthday I gave him his first Project Life 12″ x 12″ Album, pages and card collection to create a memory book for his project. His look was priceless when I told him the name of the Project Life cards was Love Story! (But I chose this card collection since it color theme was Basic Black, Basic Gray and Whisper White – perfect for my little grease monkey.)

And when I showed him the cards and how to use them – he totally thought that was cool. And the best thing was he could use what ever color he wanted for his stamping – He chose Real Red to add a pop of color to his pages.

He sat down and quickly caught up on months worth of photos that I had printed and included with his gift. We spent the afternoon together and I showed him how to use the coordinating stamp set, Day to Day to add more details to his pages. The set is great since it is photopolymer and easy to line things up. Johnathan quickly added his stamping to the cards he had already done with the stamp set.

Of course, then he wanted to know when he could print more pictures and was more than willing to turn over his phone so I could download more for him! That says a lot since he never sets his phone down. LOL!

He loves how quickly and easily he can put these pages together! And what a great way to keep the his memories of this special project of his for years to come. He couldn’t wait to show it off to Larry.

And this is great for me – since now I can get all those pictures downloaded off the phones, printed and into books. That has become very difficult as the kids have begun using their phones instead of the camera.

Do you have boxes of photos that you need to organize? Or photos on your computer and phone that you need to print? Why not let me help? Contact me today and I can help you get started with this quick, easy and affordable way to keep your memories and photos for years to come.

Quick & Easy Carrot Treats Tutorial

Posted on April 2, 2015 by Stamp with Jini

Need a cute treat for Easter? Check out my latest Video Tutorial below. I made these fun little treats for my daughter and her friends at college. Just a little chocolate filled something as a surprise for Easter. Who can resist, right?

These little carrots are sooooo easy to make and when you use our 2013 – 2015 In Color Designer Series Paper Stack (130136) you can make a ton of them! And you can fill them with all kinds of stuff, they really hold quite a bit. I filled mine with some Carrot Cake M&M’s – love them and loved the carrot theme! And of course these M&M’s color coordinate with Crisp Cantaloupe and Pistachio Pudding so what could be better. LOL!!!

Want to see just how easy they are to make? You can watch me make one of these in less than 2 1/2 minutes!
