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.

Traditional holiday cards – what could be better than the O Holy Night Suite Collection (162012) to create those wonderful cards. And of course if you already have your cards done why not get this lovely suite of products and start your cards early for next year!
Yes, it’s that lovely and been extremely popular this fall. Check out these lovely cards using the products from the suite. This first card uses the Night Devine Bundle (161997), one of my favorites with the silhouette images.
Done in traditional colors the sentiment has been punched out and layered using the Handmade Tag Punch (159690). To layer the sentiment simply cut the Night of Navy punched tag in half and adhere to the top and bottom of the sentiment as desired.
Wow, I can’t pick a favorite. Can you? As you can see this Suite of products is wonderful for creating great cards, you can see why it’s been flying off the shelf this fall.
As always I’m happy to let you know the date something is expected back if its on backorder. Just reach out to me at [email protected]. And of course, if a suite is on backorder try the individual products only the bundle has the 10% discount and can be purchased on its own.

Today’s card is quick and easy and contains a bit of shine too making it perfect for the holiday season.
This type of card is a favorite layout of mine since its great for making in large quantities as it’s a quick and easy layout. I’m using the Sparkling Snowflakes stamp set (162158) which is using a favorite winter image of mine – snowflakes! I can’t seem to resist a snowflake set lol.
I’ve teamed this image up with the lovely winter pattern from the Beary Christmas Designer Series Paper (162015) as it reminds me of those warm winter sweaters I had as a child and it’s got shades of blue too!

What do you think of when you think of the holidays? For me one of the things is poinsettias, since every year they were a gift to family and friends and decorated our house and the local mall. Remember the poinsettia trees of the 70’s? So the Rustic Crate Bundle (162268) brings back those childhood memories of that bold pop of red again the cold snowy landscapes.
And of course, Frosty and the green house that contained those exotic plants, the poinsettia. lol
Today’s cards use the poinsettia to create lovely cards. This first one has a traditional feel with its Shaded Spruce and Cherry Cobbler color palet.
Once again a little shine has been added with the Simply Elegant Trim (155766) and interest has been added to the background with a bit of our Blending Brushes and splatter using our Water Painters (151298). Adding splatter like this is quick and easy to do simply pick up some diluted reinker and tap against your finger until you get the look you like. With a little bit of practice you can create different size splatter for your projects.
Enjoy! And don’t forget to stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing a fun tutorial with you using the Sparkling Snowflake Stamp set.
