#imbringingbirthdaysback

Posted on February 26, 2016 by Stamp with Jini

Have you noticed that you don’t send or receive birthday cards like you used to? Would you like to receive a handmade card from me this year? #imbringingbirthdaysback is a new initiative that Shannon West started to bring back sending birthday cards.

Shannon West is part of the Stampin’ Up! home office team. And in November at OnStage shared with us her families’ personal birthday tradition of celebrating with one big bash – which I just loved, so when she launched her #imbringingbirthdaysback last month I couldn’t resist joining in the fun and jumping on board, and now you can too! Since this was one of my New Years resolutions for 2016 any how I’m just expanding it a bit by including you!

Here is a quick video of Shannon explaining what #imbringingbirthdaysback is all about.

So, if you have noticed that Facebook has basically ruined birthdays too and want to work with me to change that, let’s do it together! Starting March 1st I’ll be sending birthday cards out to not only my Birthday Club members, but also the first 100 people who send me their birthdays!!!

Want to be one of those who receive a hand stamped birthday card from me? It’s simple just send an email to me at [email protected] and give me the following information.

Name

Address

Date of birth

(I just need the month and day since we’re all 29. LOL! But you can include the year if you want to. US only)

(fine print: All info will be kept private and be used only for the purposes of sending you a birthday card)

I’m asking for yours – so here’s mine March 20th and my address is 2320 Dooley Road Clarkesville GA 30523 – just in case you wanted to know. 🙂

Oh, and if you’ve already celebrated your birthday this year, no worries I’ll be sending a full 12 months of cards out! So that’s it – email me your birthday and then just sit back and wait for your card to arrive in the mail!

I’m so excited to share this with you and let you join in the fun too that I’ve schedule a last minute event that allows everyone to make some fantastic cards, projects and receive a FREE stamp set too!!!

NEW #imbringingbirthdaysback Kick Off Event Scheduled

Want to join in the fun? Why not join me for this special event that will start off your birthday card making with a bang!

Number of Years

Posted on February 24, 2016 by Stamp with Jini

It’s been a very blustery day here in North Georgia and the yard is sopping wet from all the rain we’ve had today. The bands of rain coming through earlier today have been pretty intense. The power of nature always amazes me. Just a few minutes into the downpour and I watched the muddy red “rivers” form in the fields around us and our yard as the water headed to the lower ground and the creek that is close by. Hopefully as you read today’s post your dry and safe.

Anyhow on to the fun stuff!. Today’s cards use the Number of Years stamp set (140653) found on page 11 in the Occasions Catalog. While they both use the same set they are two very different cards.

This first card was given to me by my friend Anna. It’s bright and cheerful and for some reason reminds me of sock hops for some reason. (Odd I know LOL!)

I love the color combination of Basic Black and Melon Mambo. Anna used the L arge Numbers Framelits (140622) to create the focal point on the front. You can get both when you order the Bundle (140811) at a 15% discount.

Open the card and you’ll get a surprise – It’s a fancy fold.

Anna also used our Everyday Chic Designer Series Paper (138445) and the cute little Party Punch Pack (140608) too!

This second card was created by Kate and uses the flower images from the set.

I LOVE the soft background Kate created. It’s soft and subtle.

So which style do you like best? Why not leave me a comment and let me know which is your favorite?

Helping Me Grow

Posted on February 19, 2016 by Stamp with Jini

Check out these two very different cards made with the Helping Me Grow stamp set (140764). This set contains some beautiful floral images and great sentiments too.

This first card is done in Watermelon Wonder and uses the beautiful Birthday Bouquet Designer Series Paper (140557). Irene used the Work of Art stamp set (134111/134114) to create the swoosh of color on the flowers – pretty cool, right? The Fluttering Embossing Folder (139304) added some texture to the background. And the Bitty Butterfly Punch (129406 – part of the Weekly Deals) was layered on top of the Mint Macaron Elegant Butterfly piece (127526).

This second card uses an embossed resist technique and is much softer feeling even thought the Tempting Turquoise is part of the Brights Collection.

Janie Embossed the flowers in White Embossing Powder and then sponged Mint Macaron, Pacific Point and Tempting Turquoise. The sentiment comes from the Wetlands stamp set (126695/126697) and is placed on a 2″ Circle that is layered on our 2 3/8″ Circle Punch. A quick and easy way to create a focal point. Can you see the tiny pearls she used to dot the i’s? A little touch of elegance.

Just check out these two wonderful cards that I received using the Bundle.

I just love this first card with it’s soft colors that Joanne sent me. Done in shades of pink the Early Espresso outline is striking. (I’ve give you the complete recipe below for this card.) Use the Big Shot Die Brush and the Precision Base Place and cutting these intricate dies is so simple!

And here is a card from Krisha that is soft and elegant. I wish my photo would show just how lovely this card is.

Krisha’s used the Fancy Designer Vellum Foil (133363) as a background and added little pops of color with the sequins from the Love Blossoms Embellishment Kit (140551). The Shimmery White Card stock (101910) she used for the sentiment and rose give it just enough shimmer.
