About Stamp with Jini

My name is Jini Merck and I'm a Stampin' Up! Independent Demonstrator. I love being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, not only do I get to be creative every day, I also get to be a creative coach, offering fresh project ideas and encouragement to my customers and friends. For me, helping someone create that perfect project for a special occasion is the best feeling in the entire world. After all, creating cards, scrapbook pages, and gift items is about more than just stamps and ink—it’s about sharing a part of yourself with the people in your life. I live in Clarkesville which is in the North Georgia Mountains with my husband and two children. Although my family keeps me busy I enjoy the creativity of stamping and crafts and the fellowship stamping brings into my life. Spending time creativing cards and gifts for friends and family has been one of my favorite hobbies over the years.

Waterfront

Posted on May 10, 2018 by Stamp with Jini

Do you ever look at a set and think – hmm what would I do with that? That was my first impression of the Waterfront stamp set found on page 48 of the Occasions Catalog. Then my friend, Kathleen who was excited about it started explaining about what she was planning to do with it! Wow – her excitement was boundless.

So I figured I’d try it – Once I started inking up the images I found exactly how much fun it could be and I fell in love with it. This past Saturday I held my class using this fantastic stamp set and everyone seemed to love it too!

The options are endless with this set and it has a cool watercolor look to it. Check out these fun cards using the set.
