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.

Masterfully Made Hello Card Tutorial

Posted on December 15, 2023 by Stamp with Jini

Today’s card uses the bright & bold Designer Series Paper Masterfully Made.

I think Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper (161192) is pretty cool with it’s faux layers created with different papers and it’s got tone of texture on it’s own so it’s great for a project like this.

I’ve teamed this up with the Layering Leaves stamp set (161277) to create a cheerful hello card for a friend. Don’t you love the all occasions sentiments in this set? The font is just lovely too.

Here is Georgia we get a lot of rainy or cloudy days in the winter and I wanted to send something cheerful. Want to see the card?

I’ve also got a quick little video for you so you can make some too.
