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.

Santa’s Sleigh

Posted on November 6, 2017 by Stamp with Jini

Today’s cards use a stamp set found in our Annual Catalog on page 119. Santa’s Sleigh is a wonderful set that has a coordinating Thinlits Set to make cutting the images a breeze.

Check out this fun shaker card.

And I love the simple black & red theme of this card made using the Pick a Pattern Washi Tape.

Today’s cards highlight two of our 6×6 Stacks that are part of the Buy 3 Get 1 FREE October Promotion. But you’ll want to hurry since the promotion ends on October 31st!

While these first cards highlight the Color Theory Designer Series Paper (144193) they use different stamp sets to create wonderful cards!

Bright, bold and colorful this first card uses the Daisy Delight stamp set (143669) and coordinating Daisy Punch (143713) that you can purchase in a money saving Bundle (145361). A fan favorite for sure!

And how about the paint swatch look? The Crafting Forever stamp set (143955/143958) is teamed up here with two of the patterns from the stack. Do you see the crackle pattern on the pot? It is easy to create this paper piecing look by simply stamping the pot onto the Designer Series Paper and cutting it out.

And how about the Ribbon of Courage stamp set (143852/143855)? What a wonderful set that can be used in different colors depending on your need. The sentiments are wonderful and I just love the font used in them.

These last three cards use the Wood Textures 6×6 Designer Series Paper Stack (144177).

The At Home Bundle with You (145351) was used to create these fun welcoming doors and how about this wonderful chair from the Colorful Seasons Bundle (145348)?

It’s a wonderful stack since the pattern is the same on both sides making it perfect to create these little crates.
