Swirly Bird Fun & a bit more

Posted on June 14, 2016 by Stamp with Jini

There is nothing better than playing with new stamp sets and this week I’m going to share some projects that I stamped and received when I got together with some fellow demonstrators last week.

Today’s card was made using the Swirly Bird Bundle (142353).

Just perfect for a summer birthday! And I’ve got to tell you while this wasn’t on my original wish list it is now!!!

The more I see and use this set the more I love it. It’s just so versatile and the options are endless! I’m so glad that Kathleen shared this project with me.

Stop back by tomorrow when I’ll share a card made with the Moroccan Nights stamp set that Teresa gave me.

On a personal note –

What do you do when you have the house to yourself for a whole weekend? Recently I was at loose ends for a whole uninterrupted weekend of me time. What does that mean? Well I can do things that I’ve been wanting to or as the spirit moves me. Either way that means no cooking and being on my own time table. LOL!

This particular weekend – I got the bug to sew. Of course, this was after seeing my patio furniture dry rotted when it was uncovered for a family cook out!

After a couple of weeks shopping around and being shocked at the price of replacement cushions. I remembered my friend Cindy recently telling me about recovering hers. Well low and behold there was a fabric sale that came across my email – I was inspired. Armed with limited sewing ability and measurements I headed to town. Straight lines I can do! So I figured I could tackle this project after a bit of googling. LOL!

I fell in love with this fun, bright colorful stripe at the store. Couldn’t resist the Calypso Coral and Mint Macaron combo, there is even a little real red and Cucumber Crush in there! After cleaning out the store of all they had, I came home thinking I could do all 4 chairs with what I had.

I was a bit off – Totally didn’t get what the girl was saying. Now I know why she seemed confused, she must have thought I was a bit crazy. I bet she was shaking her head when I left. ( I didn’t account for the pattern I soon learned!) But that’s okay, I had enough to get me started! Here is my trial run chair.

Simply made a pillow case and whip stitched the back edge. (Since no one will look any ways – that is except my husband! Who checked it out first thing when he got home.)

I was on a roll and soon got the fabric in for the last two chairs – didn’t want to forget what I was doing!

Everyone has been so sweet with their comments – some even thought I’d bought a new set!

Well once the machine was set up in my classroom I couldn’t quit. So since I’ve been wanting to get to this project for ages I thought why not?

This was a favorite purse of mine. Since it is cloth it is light weight and perfect for travel in the summer. Unfortunately my liner had gotten shredded from all the use so I set it aside a couple of summers ago. (I’m sure you have projects like this too. Thinking you’ll get to it soon, but then time passes. I’ve REALLY got to be in the mood to sew and I was on a high from the patio set sucess!).

Any how. I just knew our retired Stampin’ Up! fabric that I had would be perfect for this little purse. So here is the finished project. I lined it in the Rich Razzleberry pattern so it won’t show the dirt.

Cute? Not perfect, but all the same I’m going to enjoy using it. The Floral District Designer Series Paper was one of my favorites (not that I’m hording any….shhh don’t tell but it’s sitting right there with my Tea Party Designer Series Paper that I’m saving for a special project!)

Well the machine has been put away for now so the classroom is fully operational again!

What do you do when you have a weekend to yourself? Why not leave me a comment and let me know?

Perfectly Wrapped

Posted on June 13, 2016 by Stamp with Jini

Stampin’ Up! has introduced some fantastic kits with coordinating stamp set and today’s card was created using the Perfectly Wrapped set found on page 159 in the NEW Annual Catalog.

Created in our NEW 2016-2017 In Colors this set when combined with our Stamp Pad Bundle (141818) is a great way to begin building your stamping supplies or add a trendy new batch of colors to your already existing supplies.

This card was part of the 5 In Color cards that we recently stamped during my June Team meeting.

Stamp up a batch, tie a bit of ribbon around them or tuck them in a box and you’ve got a great gift for someone.

Downtime with my Down line is one of the fun things I enjoy each month during our monthly get together. Laughing, visiting and stamping what could be better, right? And this month was extra special since I was able to pamper them.

Everyone on the team received these cute little bags filled with NEW Catalog items to play with.

The goodie bag contained our New In Color Doilies, Gold Binder Clips, Clear Tiny Treat Box and Delicate White Doilies.

And Team gifts were given to those team members who reached their goal of Bronze Elite and now earn even more of a discount on their crafting supplies!

I love to pamper my Team!!! They’re the best!!!

Framelits & Thinlits Organization 101

Posted on June 10, 2016 by Stamp with Jini

I love keeping my Framelit dies in easy to open clear mount cases and so I thought I’d share with you the new labels I created for the NEW 2016 Annual Catalog.

It’s always fun to freshen up my crafting space and these new inserts are colorful in addition to having the picture on the front so you know exactly where that framelit came from! (Something my old Framelit inserts didn’t have.)

Here is what the case looks like on the inside.

What’s that black sheet? Well believe it or not it is a Magnetic Vent Cover that I find in my local Building Supply big box store. They are inexpensive and work great for this.

I simply cut them with my trimmer and add a little of our Tear & Tape to the back and press. (They come in large 8 x 15 sheets so you can get several cases for your Framelits out of a package when you cut them to fit.) Perfect for holding those Framelits!

Want to get organized too? Well you’re in luck because today I’m sharing files for all the Framelits in the 2016 Annual Catalog that will fit into our Clear Mount cases (119105).

Check out this quick video I made showing you how to use the PDFs and cut them down.

Want to start? Order your Clear Mount Cases HERE. They come in groups of 4 and are perfect for organization of our Framelits in addition to other things too.

Then just print out the following files on Whisper White Card stock (100730) and your ready to go!

New 2016 Annual Catalog Organization 101

Posted on June 8, 2016 by Stamp with Jini

Ok you’ve seen the NEW 2016-2017 Catalog now and you’re wondering how to organize your craft area, right? Well I’ve got some wonderful items to help make this easier for you.

First I’ve created a quick reference for the Designer Series Paper. I like this chart and keep it handy when I’m looking for the colors in the Designer Series Paper. Everything you need is on this one easy chart.

2016-2017 Catalog Designer Series Paper Chart PDF

Labels – I love labels and these make things so easy. I like to have everything consistent so with the NEW 2016-2017 Catalog. I have created new labels for my hanging file folders, Refill drawers, and my Classic Ink Pads.

I know that the Classic Ink Pads come with these great labels stuck to the bottom for us to use (which I love), but I like to also know the Color Collection so I still these in addition to the ones already included.

Labels for Stamp Pads and Refill drawers (Avery Labels 5160)

I punch these out with my now retired Word Window Punch, but if you don’t have that you can use the NEW Classic Label Punch (141491) found in the 2016 Annual Catalog on page 186.

And for your Card Stock I’ve created these labels. I use them on my hanging file folders in my drawers.

2016-2017 Annual Catalog File Drawer Labels (Avery Labels 5167)

Here is a quick video I did a while ago showing you how my craft room is organized.

I’m currently working on revamping the Clear Mount Case Inserts for my Framelits and hope to share them with you in the next couple of days. So stop on back by and check them out. I think you’ll like them!

What is a paper share?

A paper share is a group of people sharing a group of items – this time Designer Series Paper.

Here is how it works. The share gives you a piece of all the patterns of 14 packages of DSP in the 2016 Catalog on pages 172, 173, &174 (everything except the 2015 In Colors, Brights, Regals, Subtles and Neutrals Designer Series Paper Stacks since these are returning patterns.)

You are welcome to get more than one share; spots are not held until payment is received.

Postage is $6.80, due to the flat rate envelope size and the 6×12 DSP. Please include your address that you’d like your package sent to.

This is like our own little Paper Stack and it is a cost effective way to “get it all”.

Fine print:

There are 8 spots for each share; I’ll do as many shares as there is interest and will order the share as soon as all the spots are filled. You can mail me a check or I can send you a PayPal invoice if you prefer.

Postage is $6.80, due to the flat rate envelope size and the 6×12 DSP. Please include your address that you’d like your package sent to. If you live local and plan to pick up there is no postage added to the cost.

I’m doing this as a special service for you, my customer, and would need payment by June 10th if you would like to participate.

You’ll need to email me or call me to hold your spot asap, because spots will be filled first come first serve, and there isn’t a lot of time before I need to place the order on June 11th.

And of course if you would like to order something else at the same time just let me know.
