So Many Shells Tutorial

Posted on June 14, 2017 by Stamp with Jini

Today’s card is one that I made for my team Shoe box Swap this past Saturday. The So Many Shells was a stamp set I couldn’t pass up with it’s wonderful shell images. You know me I can never resist a set that is beach themed!

The sentiments in the set also cover a wide variety of needs which is always a bonus. Isn’t the font lovely?

So here is the card I created.

I stamped the Marbled Background onto Vellum to give it more of a translucent water feel to it. And I love the Copper Trim! Tug and pull and it turns into what looks like a net! Perfect for this project.

I hope you’ll enjoy making this card too. Here is my FREE Tutorial for the card.

Shoe box fun at the Blue Mountain Stampers’ Weekend Retreat

Posted on June 13, 2017 by Stamp with Jini

This past weekend was my 5th Annual Weekend Retreat – (wow it’s so hard to believe we’ve been doing this that long already!) This event is held each June so that we can gather and have fun playing with our new catalog goodies. It’s a laid back, full of stamping and laughter – just a great weekend of sharing and fellowship. I feel really blessed to have such a wonderful team.

There were a total of 8 of us this time and we had a lot of fun with a project Cindy has been wanting to try – Shrinky Dinks!

Several of the group had never played with Shrinky Dinks before, so you know what that means! Who doesn’t love watching them watch them curl up and shrink?

We also did a shoe box swap on Saturday, so I thought I would share the cards everyone made for it.

This first card is made with Pocket Full of Sunshine (143719) and the Pocket Framelits Dies (143750) that you can get in a bundle allowing you to save 10% (145345). I think it is a very fun set, perfect for those younger folks in our life.

And this next card uses the Daisy Delight stamp set (143669), Daisy Punch (143713) and the Wood Words stamp set (143925/143928). Can you guess where the scallop comes from?

It’s the Seasonal Layers Framelits Dies (143751).

The Oh So Eclectic Stamp Set (143937/143940) was used to create this lovely Powder Pink card.

And how about this great card made with the Daisy Delight Bundle (145361) and the sentiment from Swan Lake (142974/142977).

And the final card today, is a wonderful Masculine card made in rich bold colors using the Happy Birthday Thinlits Dies (143700). You are going to love the NEW 5/8″ Crinkled Seam Binding (144189) and

Pinewood Planks 3d Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (143708) since it creates a wonderfully deep, dimensional images!!!

Stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing my shoe box and a FREE tutorial so you can make one too.

Super Duper Team Time

Posted on June 12, 2017 by Stamp with Jini

I love getting together with my team – we have a great time together sharing, laughing and stamping. What could be better right? So today I thought I would share some of the wonderful swaps that have been shared form the last couple of meetings. (Yes, I know I’m behind. lol)

This first card Cindy gave me and it uses the Super Duper stamp set (142871/142874).

And how about this soft card using the Weather Together stamp set (141543) and Umbrella Weather Framelits Dies (141479)?

Thoughts and Prayers (128751/127805) is a great set for those hard to make cards

Stamp, some simple sponging and you have a wonderful card to share.

Deborah chose the Daisy Delight stamp set (143669) and coordinating Daisy Punch (143713) to go with the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set (143662).

Can you see the Clear Faceted Gem (144142)? Deborah used a sharpie to color it – so clever!

And here is card made with the Eastern Beauty stamp set (143675) and coordinating dies, Eastern Medallions (143725) that are available in a money saving bundle (145308).

I just love the fact you can make soooo many shapes with these Thinlits dies!

And check out this cute little treat for the 4th – I just love little gifts like this!

So what do you think? Look like fun? Would you love to be part of a group that LOVES to craft? Now is a great time to join us with the launch of 2017 Annual Catalog!

Catalog Kick Off Fun!

Posted on June 6, 2017 by Stamp with Jini

Saturday we kicked off the 2017 Catalog launch with a fun event where we made 3 cards using new product and stamp sets from Annual Catalog. I love these events since they are always a lot of fun – after all who doesn’t love a new catalog, right? LOL!

Today I thought I’d share some photos of the class room and what everyone received when they attended. I had lots of great cards to share on display that I’ll also be sharing with you on my blog. I totally revamped my chalk board displays and even added a little shelf since one of them needed repair.

Along with some of our new products

Want to see what greeted everyone at their places? I made these cute little name tags using the Daisy Delight Bundle.

Everyone who attended received a NEW Catalog, of course. Along with a 2017 In Color Swatches and Bookmark to hold their spot, chocolate, and a special little post it note flag holder. (I’ll be sharing some videos later this week on these projects – so watch for them in the up coming days.)

Mean while here is one of the cards we made using the Ribbon of Courage stamp set (143852/143855).

This set is also has coordinating Framelits Dies, Support Ribbon (143749) to make it easier to use yet! You get get both in our money saving bundle (145341/145342) and save 10%.

This set not only contains two different ribbons, it also contains some wonderful sentiments. Customize the ribbon with the color you need and you have a wonderful card to share with a friend or loved one.

I’m including a FREE Tutorial for you for this card
