Best Thoughts, New Weekly Deals & More

Posted on March 29, 2016 by Stamp with Jini

The Best Thoughts Hostess Set contains an image that I knew my mother-in-law would love since she is such a flower lover. And with the sentiments and butterfly it is a great set for anyone.

And here is a wonderfully feminine card that uses the Best Thoughts stamp set that Geralyn gave me in a swap. I just love its simplicity. The image was embossed in Black on Pink Pirouette and then cut out. The image is popped up on a Watercolor Wash back ground – what could be easier?

Want this set? Why not take advantage of the Host benefits before Sale-a-bration ends? Not only will you earn FREE items for placing a $150 order, but you’ll earn 3 FREE Sale-a-bration items too!

Grateful Bunch & Count Down to Sale-a-bration

Posted on March 28, 2016 by Stamp with Jini

I ran across some great swaps that I haven’t shared with you yet. So over the next week or two I thought I would include them.

Today’s card is from Joanne who was inspired by Kylie’s card, another fellow demonstrator. It’s uses the Grateful Bunch stamp set (140691) from the Occasions Catalog.

Joanne used the colors Pink Pirouette and Smoky Slate and Basic Gray to create this soft lovely card. Lace and butterflies – perfect for spring!

One of the great things about stamping is you don’t have to always have to be creative yourself since you can CASE (copy and share everything!). Or if you prefer get inspired and then change it up – by using the colors or layout and adding your own touch to your card. There aren’t any rules to stamping just those we impose on ourselves – LOL!

Sale-a-bration Count Down – Just 3 days left!

Here is another group of cards created with our FREE Sale-a-bration items that are only available until March 31st!

And remember, today is the last day to take advantage of this group of Weekly Deals.

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Grateful Bunch (140691)

Inks: Basic Gray Archival Pad (140932), Pink Pirouette (126956), and Smoky Slate Classic Ink (131179)

Paper: Pink Pirouette (111351), Basic Gray (121044), and Whisper White card stock (100730)

Zoo Babies & More Shoe box Fun!

Posted on March 25, 2016 by Stamp with Jini

Yesterday I shared the card I took in my shoe box for the gathering last night and so today I thought I’d share the wonderful cards my stamping friends brought along. I’m having a hard time deciding which was my favorite so I thought I’d share them all!!! LOL!

Anna used the Zoo Babies stamp set (130453/130456) for her card and I love the was she used the Washi Label Punch (138296) to create the focal point.

While the card was done using only Crumb Cake card stock she added a lot of interest with the different layers and texture.

This second card was Marni’s and she used the same set I did yesterday, (click here to see my card), Balloon Celebration (140675) along with the coordinating Balloon Bouquet Punch (140609) – I love the way she used the Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper (140550) when she bunched out some of the balloons. After all who doesn’t like a bit of “bling”?

Maria made this cute card using the Ronald McDonald House, Sprinkles of Life stamp set (139971) and the coordinating Tree Builder Punch (138295). This set will retire soon, so if you would like to make a difference and get a wonderful stamp set this is a wonderful choice since Stampin’ Up! donates $3 of every set sold to the RMHC.

She used the Cherry on Top Designer Series Paper Stack (138443) and Washi Tape (138384). Fun right? Who wouldn’t love getting this bright cheerful birthday greeting?

And the final card uses the Remarkable You stamp set (139891/139894). Done in neutrals it’s simple and elegant, something that Kathleen does so well.

We had the best time last night stamping, sharing and visiting together. And I love the fact we all have a different stamping style. It’s fun to see what others create with the same stamp sets! What do I love best about being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator? The people it has brought into my life! I really feel blessed by every stamper I’ve met over the past 7 years.

Balloon Celebration Shoebox Swap

Posted on March 24, 2016 by Stamp with Jini

Today’s card is one that I’ve put together for a team shoe box swap I’m attending tonight. It’s bright and cheerful and when you use the Happy Happenings sentiment Stamp set (138734/139381) you’ve got all kinds of choices.

Here is the card I decided on for tonight.

And here is another version of the card. Can you tell what is different?

One of the things I love about our Designer Series Paper is it is double sided so you always have a choice. I used the 2014-2016 In Color Collection Designer Series Paper Stack (138433) for these two cards. Although they both use the same items they have different feels to them simply by using the other side! How cool is that?

Why not leave me a comment and let me know which one you like best? I’d love to hear what you think.

2014-2016 In Colors

If you have some of these In Colors you’ll want to make sure you have your reinkers. When the retirement list comes in April – they will fly off the shelf!!! Don’t get caught without your favorites.

Have you ever thought about becoming a Demonstrator? It’s a lot of fun and it’s great stamping together! Sale-a-bration is a perfect time to join since you’ll get to choose extra goodies for the same $99 kit!

Birthday Wishes & Sale-a-bration Countdown!

Posted on March 23, 2016 by Stamp with Jini

I feel so blessed to have such wonderful stamping friends. As you may or may not know Sunday was my birthday and my fellow stampers made it extra special this year with their hand stamped cards!

So today I wanted to share some of the wonderful cards that I received for my birthday.

Each and everyone of them is so special – And I appreciate the time my fellow stampers took to create and mail them. How wonderful it was to have a little surprise each day when the mail arrived. Truly my birthday wishes have lasted all week long.

It looks like the #imbringingbirthdaysback campaign that Shannon West began early this year is taking hold. How great is that? Real snail mail, not just a face book message. There is nothing like a hand penned note to make you feel extra special.

Heartfelt Sympathy

Posted on March 17, 2016 by Stamp with Jini

Looking for a wonderful stamp set to create those sympathy cards you need? I find sympathy cards one of the most difficult cards that I find I need to make and so this set is a great option for me. How about you? Do you find these type of cards difficult?

Here are two wonderful cards that I received during one of my swaps using this stamp set. While they use the same set they have a different feel to them.

This first card is done in classic black and white. The color combo can’t miss in my opinion, which of course is why it’s classic. Right?

And this second card has a softer feel to it – Done in neutrals with a bit of Silver Glimmer Paper.

So which do you like?

Why not take a look at the Heartfelt Sympathy stamp set on page 27 of the Annual Catalog? It’s got some lovely images and a wonderful font for those cards that you need for those difficult days.

Would you love a discount on your Paper Crafting Supplies?
