Soft & Lovely Natural Botanicals

Posted on July 15, 2025 by Stamp with Jini

Today’s cards are monochromatic cards using the Natural Botanicals stamp set (164831) and our Cloud Cover 2025-2027 In Color.

This first card uses our Glass & Gardens Embossing Folder (Online Exclusives 165597) and 2025-2027 In Color Designer Series Paper (165299) to create a background full of texture.

The Designer Series Paper was first attached to the Basic White Card stock and then run the the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss to give a “quilting” effect. The Textured Notes Dies (Online Exclusive 165555) have been used to cut out and layer the image. And a few of our 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls (165192) and you have a simply elegant card.

This next card uses the technique again with the Dotted Circles 3D Embossing Folder (163789) this time with Basic Beige Card stock. It also uses the same Dies to cut out the image along with the embellishments but has a very different feel to.

The image has been stamped using Versa Mark for a tone on tone look and Antique Pearls (164679) have been added to the panel.

Can you pick a favorite? Which color combo do you like the most? Why not leave me a comment and let me know?

The Natural Botanicals stamp set is a special Reversibles stamp that allows you to use both sides of the stamp for two step stamping. While these two cards do not use the solid image or two step with it the Reversibles stamp gives you double the images to give you greater versatility for your projects. You’ll see our special sets that have this option shown with both the front and back side highlighted in the image.

Sunrise Sailing

Posted on July 14, 2025 by Stamp with Jini

The summer makes me think of time at the lake as a child. Watching the boats go by and the waves come in. I miss Lake Michigan and the easy drive to beach and the feel of driving down Lake Shore Drive as a teenager with friends in a convertible and the wind blowing my hair. Or the fireworks on the 4th with all those boats out on the water under the bursts of color. So today’s Sunrise Sailing Bundle (Online Exclusive 165497) cards make me think of those carefree days of my youth and those wonderfully elegant boats out on the water.

This Bundle has a wonderful Hybrid Embossing Folder that allows you to add some wonderful texture to images and dies. Check out these two cards made with this bundle.

This first card uses some simple stamping and a bit of color brushed across the embossed image to create a relaxing monochromatic card.

And this next card uses a fun fold called Book Binding. With a simple score line and a bit of adhesive you create this fun card.

Done in Secret Sea, Misty Moonlight and Poppy Parade it has the perfect summertime feel, don’t you think?

If you enjoy the water as much as I do this Bundle might be just your style. Why not stop by my Online Store and check it out today?

Silly Safari Baby Card Tutorial

Posted on July 11, 2025 by Stamp with Jini

I’m back with my weekly tutorial and today I’m sharing a fun little card that uses my card sketch #8. I love this sketch for whimsical cards like this using the Silly Safari Stamp set (165254).

I find this set a lot of fun to work with the images are fun and the sentiments quirky. They are super for all ages and the young at heart. And it also comes in a money saving bundle with a fun circle punch too if you love punches!

Back to today’s tutorial – want to see this fun little card welcoming a new little one?

This card was done in traditional baby colors using the Brights family – you’ll see that the colors Azure Afternoon, Daffodil Delight, and Granny Apple Green have been used. All bright cheerful colors perfect for this type of card.

You’ll love the color family packs of Designer Series Paper that have all 10 colors in them along with 4 fun patterns – they are great when wanting to build your collection and are very versatile too since they come in a 6×6 stack.

Want to see how I created this card? Check out my Video Tutorial and PDF that includes everything you need to get started creating.

Today’s the Last Day of our Two Tone Card Stock Sale!!!

Happy Hibiscus

Posted on July 10, 2025 by Stamp with Jini

I’ve just returned from a wonderful tropical vacation where these lovely flowers are the Hawaiian state flower, specifically the yellow Hibiscus. The Happy Hibiscus Bundle (Online Exclusive 164880) is a bundle that shows off these lovely large blooms.

This bundle includes all kinds of goodies, not only the stamp set but a wonderful Hybrid Embossing Folder and Dies that will make these flowers have tons of texture and depth.

Today’s cards show off this lovely bundle. This first card is done in our Strawberry Slush and uses the card stock and simple stamping to do the work for you. A bit of the Shy Shamrock Baker’s Twine gives a fun pop of color behind them.

And on this second card the warm colors Lemon Lolly, Calypso Coral, and Poppy Parade give it a warm tropical feel.

The stamp set has some lovely all occasion sentiments that I think you’ll enjoy.

On a personal note and speaking of tropical – my husband and I were blessed with being able to join Kaitlin, our daughter and her husband Jon along with his parents for their North Georgia Winds performance at Pearl Harbor last month for a wreath laying ceremony.

Our daughter had the honor of conducting a piece, the Elegy for the USS Arizona.

And the vets in our group, which included my husband and our Kaitlin’s Father in Law were also part of the ceremony.

That’s my Larry on the left. After we released our leis over the memorial for the Arizona honoring the fallen.

It was a very poignant experience. We were glad that we were able to be part of the day.
