Sale-a-bration’s Softly Sophisticated Bundle

Posted on January 31, 2024 by Stamp with Jini

If you love coordinating products you’ll love the Sale-a-bration option for the Softly Sophisticated Bundle which includes a lovely Embossing Folder.

Want to see some cards that use this fun bundle? This first card uses the lovely Pretty Peacock and it’s coordinating Pretty Peacock & gold 3/8″ Metallic Ribbon (162588) along with our Nested Essential Dies (161597).

This color combo is quite striking and the ribbon is gorgeous in person. The catalog just doesn’t do it justice. How about a card done in Bubble Bath and Wild Wheat?

This color combo can be found in our Poetic Expressions Designer Series Paper (162814). The little Happy Labels Pick a Punch (160693) has been used to add a soft edge to the sentiment layer.

And the final card today once again uses the Bubble Bath with another of our In Colors Moody Mauve.

A bit of sponging around the outside edge of the focal point and some embellishments adds a bit of texture.

How do you get this lovely bundle for FREE? During Sale-a-bration when you place a qualifying order you’ll get to choose a product of your choice and you can earn as many as you’d like before the end of February. How great is that?

Quiet Reflection

Posted on January 30, 2024 by Stamp with Jini

Do you like simple stamping? Or stepping your project up with a quick and simple technique? The Quiet Reflection stamp set (162689) gives you all of these options, plus it has some great sentiments too!

This first card uses a simple technique of stamping, crumpling the paper and adding some sponging to the crinkles.

Two Classic Inks were used to ink up the image, Pean Pie and a bit of Mossy Meadow on the top image which gives it a cool effect. The sentiment was stamped in Mossy Meadow and the Pecan Pie 1/2″ Bordered Ribbon (161634) adds a bit more texture to the project.

This next project uses the same two color ink technique for the image but this time it is Mossy Meadow and Pretty Peacock.

The card has been stepped up with our dies the Deckled Rectangle Dies (159173) which have been used to cut out the image. Texture has been added with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder (156505) to the Lost Lagoon layer and a few of the Pretty Peacock sequins from the Adhesive Backed Sequins Trio Pack (161206). And this last card uses a fun technique too.

The image was stamped in our Pebbled Path, if you haven’t added this color to your ink collection you’ll want to since it is a lovely warm gray. Then some color was added to the stamped panel in Balmy Blue and Blueberry Bushel with our Blending Brushes (153611). Add a bit of Linen Thread (104199) as your horizon. Finally our Christmas Pinecones Dies (1569309) were used in a non traditional manner to emboss the Pebbled Path card stock layer. Simply turn the dies over so that it doesn’t cut your card stock and run it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss. It will emboss your card stock this way rather than cut the pinecones out. A great way to add texture and a fun technique that packs a wow factor.

So what do you think? Can you see yourself creating with this lovely little stamp set? You can find this set along with our other NEW products from the January – April Mini in my Online store.

More Inked & Tiled

Posted on January 29, 2024 by Stamp with Jini

The Inked Botanicals Suite Collection (161172) is a lot of fun to work with and with it packaged in a coordinating Suite Stampin’ Up! has given us a one stop shopping experience too.

So today’s cards all use the products from this Suite. This first card is simple stamping –

The card has been stamped using Calypso Coral, Crushed Curry and Lost Lagoon Classic Inks that have been stamped off first before stamping onto the card front to create a softer color. The sentiment has been stamped onto a strip of Very Vanilla card stock and then punched out using the Tiled Punch Pack (161167) and then layered over a bit of the Lost Lagoon 1/4″ Bordered Ribbon (161171). You’ll love this ribbon it ties nicely and is soft.

This next card uses a fun fold and the Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper (161157).

While this card shows off 3 of the patterns it also uses the fun Adhesive Backed Sequins Trio Pack (161206) that add a bit of shine to the punched pieces.

And next a card that uses the fun Twisted Ribbon Technique.

If you love the colors in this pack of Designer Series Paper

you’ll enjoy using it with other products like this card does.

The Wanted to Say Dies (161594) were used to create this lovely card stepped up with our Stampin’ Cut & Emboss. Not only does it use dies, but some texture has been added with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder (156505) and Neutrals Adhesive Backed Sequins (161627). When using these kind of dies our Adhesive Sheets (152334) make it a breeze to create layers like this.

Bee My Valentine Card Tutorial

Posted on January 27, 2024 by Stamp with Jini

Yesterday was a crazy kind of day and so I didn’t get to share with you my weekly tutorial, but with the rain coming in again this afternoon it is a great time to spend a little time crafting! So here you go.

Today’s card uses the Bee Mine Suite and is quick and easy to create since it uses punches. The adorable Bee Builder Punch (162553) makes creating this fun little bee quick and easy and the 2″ Circle Punch (Online Exclusive 133782) will make your stamping so easy too. I love sentiments that are punched out like this since they make everyone successful. I know as a beginner stampers I loved punches since if I needed to stamp again I didn’t have to start all over again and could just do the one image or sentiment.

Here is a video tutorial for you

And of course a PDF that you can print that even contains the YouTube Link for easy reference!

Posted on January 25, 2024 by Stamp with Jini

Love nature? Looking for a suite of products that are interesting to work with? How about the Nature’s Sweetness Suite Collection (162645)?

This suite is filled with lots of fun things to create with. Check out this first card that uses a fun flap to close it.

Behind that flap and the lovely dies is the beautiful Nature’s Sweetness Specialty Designer Series Paper (162616) with it’s lovely foiling. And see those little cork circles? The Adhesive Backed Cork Rounds (162643) add a bit of texture and earthiness to the project. And if you love the 2023-2025 In Colors check out this next card.

The sentiment and images are heat embossed using our Basic Embossing Powders (155554) and the cool Gold 1/8″ Faux Leather Trim (162644) add a bit of shimmer

with it’s metallic finish. If you haven’t seen this trim in person it really is quite cool and the dies in this bundle give you a quick and easy way to weave through the paper like on this card.

More Detailed Dogwood

Posted on January 24, 2024 by Stamp with Jini

Here is North Georgia spring is always heralded in with our Dogwood trees that dot the landscapes and woods. They never fail to impress either and so I expect that if you love them too you’ll enjoy creating with the Detailed Dogwood (Sale-a-bration 162953).

Once again this stamp set is an image only set so that you can team it up with your favorite sentiment as you create. Here are a couple of cards that use this lovely set. This first card uses the soft Bubble Bath and have teamed it up with Lemon Lime Twist. The Watercolor Painted was used to color the images to create a quick and easy wash of color.

And if you don’t recognize the sentiment it is from our Quiet Reflection (162689) that you can find in our January – April Mini Catalog. For a bolder look this next gift card holder uses the Moody Mauve, Mossy Meadow, and the Forever Love Specialty Designer Series Paper (162573) with it’s lovely foiling.

The background uses the Notes of Nature stamp set (163203) and the dogwoods have some Clear Wink of Stella (141897) to add a bit of shimmer. Sponging and a bit of wash gives the card a softer feel. Open it and you have a spot for a gift card

Don’t you love how color impacts our creations? Something as simple as a color choice makes a project feel so different even when you use the same stamp sets allowing you to make it your own.

Stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing some cards using the Notes of Nature stamp set with you.

Doggone Friendly

Posted on January 23, 2024 by Stamp with Jini

Do you love dogs? I know I do. I can’t remember a time that a dog wasn’t apart of our family someone we loved. From my first little pup at age 4 to our two current little babies, dogs hold a special place in my heart. So when I saw the Doggone Friendly Stamp (162729) I knew it would be part of my shopping list.

Today I’m going to share some fun cards from my swap that use this stamp in different ways. I like the fact that this stamp has it all and we can highlight one or all of our sweet faces! This first card does just that.

The card front was stamped in Pebbled Path and then circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies (159183) was used to cut out the image desired. The pup has been colored and highlighted and then layered onto a larger circle of Misty Moonlight. This layered shape covers the hole that was created. And how about this next card that uses a quick pop of color on their bandanas with our Stampin’ Blends to draw your eye?

The sentiment has been stamped in the fun Tahitian Tide and punched out and layered with the Double Oval Punch (154242) and a bit of shine has been added with the Tahitian Tide 1/8″ Metallic Woven Ribbon (159197).

And this last card is a fun fold

It uses not only the stamp set but our More Dazzle Specialty Paper (161749), Natural 1/4″ Wavy Trim (161517), and Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper (161503) to create tons of texture. Open it and you’ve got two additional panels with those adorable little faces.

This stamped image was stamped Pecan Pie once and then cut into three sections at 1 1/2″, 2 1/8″ to decorate the panels. So simple but it packs a wow in shades of brown.

Three cards, three totally different looks! It’s one of my favorite things about paper crafting, while we start with the same supplies we can create a project that is our.

On a personal note I thought I’d share a quick pic of my pups. Kona and Hana who are now 21 weeks old and just got their first grooming.

We named them after two towns we were able to visit on vacation recently. They are such sweet little faces, don’t you think? Why not leave me a comment and tell me what kind of pup you have?

I love the fact that this stamp set contains images only so you can team it up with the sentiment set of your choice or even our little Mini Alphabet Dies (162934) like this first card does.

Bright and colorful since it uses our Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper (161192) as a backdrop it also uses the back side of our Softly Stippled Designer Series Paper (Sale-a-bration 162975) for the animals giving them both color and a textured feel. The Dies allow for the customized “Hi” greeting. Fun, right?

And this next card uses the neutral side of the Just Kiddin’ Designer Series Paper (162828) as a backdrop and to set the color pallet. The cute little animals are simply stamped and then the vine and grass Dies add a bit of bit of texture and color.

Finally the sentiment from the Perennial Postage Bundle (162608) have been used for the sentiment and the Petal Pink & Pretty Peacock Gems (162587) of course add a little shine which never hurts.

Fun Bee My Valentine Candy Bar Slider Tutorial

Posted on January 19, 2024 by Stamp with Jini

I’ve got another fun tutorial for you today using the Bee Mine Suite Collection (162560). This time it is a treat, containing something sweet! I’ve got my Team Winter Retreat this weekend and wanted to make something special to put on their tables today for those spending the weekend. So here is what I came up with.

I cased this layout from the Mini Catalog – I love how the samples can inspire us, don’t you? I simply changed it up slightly to suit my needs and voila! A fun little candy bar slider. When I found this candy bar at my local Aldi during the holidays I knew it would be perfect as a little treat using the Bee My Valentine Bundle (162554) so in the cart it went.

And of course I wanted to have a little signature panel for the back of the slider so a little message could be written too. Fun!

Gifts like this is one of the reason I started stamping. I love to make fun items to gift to family and friends and this makes it easy to do and cost effective too! Something that was helpful when my children were young and I need to make a class set.

Want to see how I made this Candy Bar Slider? I’ve got a video tutorial for you today along with the PDF which will have a complete supply list, YouTube Link so you can print it off and go back to it easily, along with step by step instructions too.
