Heal Your Heart

Posted on February 9, 2021 by Stamp with Jini

Sentiment sets are great since they work with other stamp sets you already have and make quick and easy cards too. You’ll want to be sure to check out this FREE Sale-a-bration option when you order.

This set has lovely fonts and covers some of those tough cards we need to make.

Check out these lovely cards using this set. This first one teams up our classic black and white True Love Designer Series paper (154281) with a couple of punches making it a classic card.

And how about this card using the Golden Garden Specialty Designer Acetate (154557) and Dragonflies Punch (154240)?

Done in Mossy Meadow, Blackberry Bliss and Bumblebee its a wonderfully warm card with its rich texture created with the Tin Tile 3D Embossing Folder (151801). And how about some Thank you cards too? This first one is made using the Dandy Garden 6×6 Designer Series Paper (154297).

For a completely different look this final card team up the sentiment with one of my favorite new 3D Embossing Folder, Seashells (154309).

Our new Blending Brushes (153611) were used to add color easily. The Opal Rounds (154289) add a bit of shimmer to the card. Don’t you love how color and simple choices make our cards feel so different? This makes a new sentiment set such a great choice as it changes things up so easily!

Approaching Perfection

Posted on February 8, 2021 by Stamp with Jini

Today’s stamp set Approaching Perfection is another of our Sale-a-bration offerings that you can earn for FREE when placing a minimum order of $50. This set is filled with fun sentiments and simple images great for birthdays.

Want to see some fun cards using this set? Well you’re in luck I’ve got a great variety to share with you today. This first card in the bright cheerful colors of Bermuda Bay and Crushed Curry and it uses our Stampin’ Write Markers for a quick and easy way to add two colors to the candle image.

It’s a great card for all ages.

Here is another fun card using the same Stampin’ Write Marker technique, this time in Misty Moonlight and Just Jade. Check out the Champagne Rhinestones (151193) adding a bit of sparkle to the candles.

This next card teams up the bold patterns from the Flower & Field Designer Series Paper (Sale-a-bration 155223) to create this striking card.

And don’t forget our punches. Here the Balloon Bouquet Punch (140609) was used to punch some balloons from the Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper (Sale-a-bration 155222).

The balloons are tied together with our Misty Moonlight Baker’s Twine from the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack (153620) found in the Annual Catalog. I just LOVE how we can mix and match our products and they work together so well!

And these last two cards use color to highlight the wonderful sentiments in different ways.

Simply ink up the image using the lighter color, here Mint Macaron was used as normal. Then use the second ink pad to tap the areas you want to highlight. Cool right?

More Berry Blessings

Posted on February 6, 2021 by Stamp with Jini

During this cold winter weather it’s always fun to see the bright reds and blues of berries in my local grocery stores. It’s a sign and promise of what is to come and warmer weather. I’ve had blueberry bushes in my yard for years and always enjoy seeing those little bell shaped blossoms. I was surprised years ago while sitting in our local extension service class learning how to install the bushes to learn all the benefits of those little sticks we were going to pick up. After a few years not only did our bushes at our old house beginning give a bounty of berries they were pretty year round too. Even in the fall the leaves turn bright red before they fall off. How about you? Are you dreaming of soft summer breezes and fresh sweet berries from the yard?

Check out these lovely cards made using the Berry Blessings Stamp set and Berry Delightful Designer Series Paper (Sale-a-bration 157613). This first one uses a fun fold and our Misty Moonlight and Balmy Blue.

And this next one uses Real Red to create these yummy raspberries. A bit of our Champagne Foil sheets and Basic Pearls adds a bit of shine.

And this last card is a fun way to use scraps,

So what do you think? Which card do you like best?

Did you know that you can earn this bundle for FREE during Sale-a-bration? You can when you place a qualifying purchase with me, but you’ll want to hurry because Sale-a-bration ends on February 28th!

Mix It Up Series 2 Dragonfly Garden Card #3 PDF Tutorial

I love the landscape option for cards. Do you find you tend to gravitate toward landscape or portrait layouts? Back in High School my art teacher, Mr. Panaro pointed out to me that every time he gave us an option my choice always was landscape. While that was many years ago that observation still rings true. I try to create with the portrait layout in mind too, which is part of what I love about this Mix It Up Series, it always us to stretch and try new things. Have you ever noticed you tend to gravitate towards a certain layout more? Why not leave me a comment and let me know?

Enjoy! Looks like it will be a good weekend to stay inside and craft a little, but then any time is a good time to craft a little if you ask me!
