Hello Sunshine

Posted on February 12, 2016 by Stamp with Jini

Today’s cards were some that I received in swaps and are created using products that are limited time Sale-a-bration items. I think these two stamp sets are a wonderful addition to any stampers collection since their sentiments cover all kinds of occasions.

These first two cards are created with the Hello stamp set (141240/141243). Joanne gave me this bright and cheerful Hello card. It also uses our Sale-a-bration Perfectly Artistic Designer Series Paper (141021) which is one of the three products only available until February 15th.

And this card uses our yummy Mint Macaron In Color along with Blackberry Bliss.

I love the way that Kate tucked the Silver Metallic Thread (138402) behind the layered Flower Medallion (137417) and Pansy Punches (130698). And can you see the embellishment that adds a bit of shine to the center of the flower? It’s one of our Itty Bitty Accents Epoxy Stickers (137856).

And here are some samples using the Sky Is the Limit stamp set (141282/141349). This first one Roxie designed for Valentine’s Day. It uses the Love Blossoms Designer Series Paper Stack (140548).

And another from Tanisha. I love the quick and easy clouds she sponged for the background.

And these next two use the Sale-a-bration Perfectly Artistic Designer Series Paper (141021).

And finally this card from Joanne She used one of my favorite Designer Series Paper Stacks from the Occasions Catalog, Going Places (140581). I just love the White Vellum cardstock (101856) propeller and Neutrals Collection Candy Dots (130934) she added to it.

Something so small – just makes this a special little card.

Did you know that there were just 3 more days to earn 3 of our Sale-a-bration items? Pages 16 – 19 include two stamp sets and some beautiful Designer Series Paper that are only available to earn until February 15th after that they’ll be gone – so why not get your favorites before it’s too late.

Remarkable You

Posted on February 11, 2016 by Stamp with Jini

Here are three great cards that I wanted to share with you. All of the use the Remarkable You stamp set (139891/139894). Each of theme while using the same stamp set have a completely different feel.

This first one is soft and subtle. Char used the Aqua Painter Beach Technique to remove the color from the lilies before adding some soft color with our Stampin’ Write Markers.

And did you notice the little Elegant Butterfly (127526)? This vellum butterfly was stamped in Daffodil Delight using the Papillon Potpourri stamp set (132058/123759) and then punched out. It adds a bit of dimension since it looks like the butterfly just landed next to the greeting.

This next card a a bolder feel to it since the colors used are Watermelon Wonder and Mossy Meadow.

And finally this card is done in Tempting Turquoise, which always makes me smile. Nancy used White Embossing Powder to make her flower pop and then added a bit of Dazzling Diamonds to it’s petals.

So which one is your favorite? Why not leave me a comment and let me know.

Paper Pumpkin Cute Conversations!

Posted on February 8, 2016 by Stamp with Jini

Check out these quick and easy treats I made for friends and family using the supplies I found in my January Paper Pumpkin Kit – Cute Conversations.

The kit came with a ton of stuff – along with a great stamp set, ink and adhesives! I love the Watermelon Sequin Trim included in this kit. What fun!

So after watching the quick little video I set to work. (You can see it below) I liked the projects as designed but the cute little pouch that was created using two of the hearts wasn’t big enough for all the treats I had bought.

Here is the original little pouch I made for my daughter.

As you can see it holds these cute little tic tac mints that have little sayings printed on them – I couldn’t resist!

Since I had the chocolate I stepped it up a bit with out Mini Treat Bag Thinlits Dies (137547) that are currently found on the Weekly Deals, but if you want these at a great price you’ll want to order them today! Since these Weekly Deals end tonight.

What’s the chocolate?

A favorite in our house and as you can see our little Mini Treat Bag made with the Thinlits Dies holds a lot since there was plenty of room to add a little something more to this chocolate. If you’d like to see all the variations of the little treat bags I made you can stop by my face book page HERE.

And my final project is this cute little candy holder I made as a little goodie for my Technique Class yesterday.

It holds, a piece of Dove chocolate – Want to know how I made these? Well it was easy with my Simply Scored Scoring Tool (122334). I scored down from the top of the heart 1 1/2″ and then again at the 3″ mark. And scored again 1″ in on each side of the heart.Next I stamped the sentiment I wanted in the space created by the fold lines. Folded the sides in and added a touch of Snail Adhesive to hold the candy and then folded the Folded the top (rounded part) of the heart over candy and adhered the point with a Glue Dot (103683)! Decorated it as desired and voila! A sweet little treat!

Want to see the kit in action? Here is the video –

Fun right? If you’d like to join in the Paper Pumpkin fun I’ve got great news for you it’s on SALE! That’s right now thru March 31st when you purchase a Prepaid Paper Pumpkin subscription you’ll not only get $5 you’ll also receive a FREE Sale-a-bration item of your choice!

Bloomin’ Love Note Holders & More

Posted on February 3, 2016 by Stamp with Jini

Today’s projects are some that I made for my daughter and her college friends. After all who doesn’t need post its when you’re writing all those college papers, right? I know my desk is littered with all kinds of notes – over the years them become my to do lists. LOL!

I found these cute little note pads at my local dollar spot and knew they would be perfect for the kids. This first one is an easel holder. I wanted to make it look like the notes conversation hearts – so I chose one of the sentiments and stamped it onto So Saffron card stock and then punched it out using my Sweetheart Punch (133786).

I used the soft Wisteria Wonder pattern from the Have a Cuppa Designer Series Paper Stack (140567) to add a bit more umpf. And keeping it soft, I teamed it up with the Mint Macaron and Blushing Bride card stock. The colors once again reminded me of the conversation hearts that have been around forever.

This second little note pad is a bit more elegant and holds the second post it note pad that came in the package – since it only had two little hearts in the corner of the pad I went a bit bolder and used our Birthday Bouquet Designer Series Paper (140655) and pulled the colors Watermelon Wonder and Mossy Meadow for the card stock base.

I then used my Stampin’ Write Markers to color the stamp. I added a third color, Early Espresso, for the words and of course once again the Watermelon Wonder and Mossy Meadow from the In Colors.

I love punches, they make things so easy and my 2″ Circle was perfect for this sentiment. If you’re new to stamping our circles and scallop circles are a great place to start – they’ll make quick and easy focal points such as these!

And the final project for today is a card that uses the Bloomin Love stamp set.

It’s raining once again here in North Georgia so it was tough to get a good photo. I hope you can see the richness of this Gold Embossed heart. Maria used the soft Blushing Bride card stock and teamed it up with our Basic Black for this classic look.

So which is your favorite?

First Sight

Posted on February 1, 2016 by Stamp with Jini

Wow, it’s February 1st and that means there are just 13 days until Valentine’s Day. Yikes! So if you haven’t already gotten your Valentine goodies done I’ll be sharing some quick and easy project with you this week.

Check out this card made with our First Sight stamp set (140685/140688) and the very popular Love Blossoms Designer Series Paper Stack (140548).

I love the way Roxie created a quick and simple background using our 1″ Square Punch and pieces of Designer Series Paper. Reminds me of a quilt – which for me evokes warm fuzzy memories of bundling up on a cold winters night.

If you haven’t already gotten your favorite items for Valentine’s Day there is still time left to order. And just a reminder today’s your last chance for last week’s Weekly Deals.
