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.

Throughout the Year

Posted on December 18, 2023 by Stamp with Jini

The Throughout the Year stamp set (162312) is a sentiment set filled with sentiments that can be used all year.

Sentiment sets like this one are a great thing to add to your collection for your stamping needs. Check out this bright colorful card that uses the Merry & Bold Designer Series Paper (161945).

Done in Shaded Spruce and Granny Apple along with a bit of our More Dazzle Specialty Paper (161749) it’s just right for St. Patty’s Day or another life event.

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?

Done in Pretty Peacock and Berry Burst – it’s sure to make my friend smile. What do you think? Bright and cheerful?

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

Joy to You

Posted on December 5, 2023 by Stamp with Jini

Today’s cards both use the Joy to You stamp set (162090). This set used bold sentiments that are great for focal points and inside sentiments on your cards this holiday season.

This first card uses the Deckled Circle Dies (162286) to high light the sentiment, and Joy of Christmas Designer Series Paper (161958) makes a quick and simple backdrop.

And this next card has a totally different color pallet since it uses the A Walk in the Forest Designer Series Paper (retiring 162377) which contains blues and greens. The paper is this year’s Making a Difference product – when you purchase this paper Stampin’ Up! donates $3.

The card uses a big block of color with the papers to add impact to the background. The sentiment has been cut out with the Deckled Rectangle Dies (159173) and soft color added with the Blending Brushes (153611). A piece of Balmy Blue 3/8″ Sparkle Ribbon (retiring 162030) adds some soft texture and shine. And this fun paper coordinates with our Beary Cute Punch (retiring 162023) too.
