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.

Vintage Leaves

Fall is fast approaching – some mornings there is a nip in the North Georgia Mountain air. And with Labor Day on Monday summer will be officially over. While I mourn the more laid back days of summer I also look forward to the change in the seasons – an of course a lower air conditioning bill. LOL.

Today’s card was given to me Terry, a fellow demonstrators. She’s added a bit of shimmer and shine to her rich Cherry Cobber Leaf by adding some Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder.

And isn’t it great that Stampin’ Up! helps us save 15% off with Bundles? You can find a money saving bundle (140235) for the Vintage Leaves stamp set and Leaflets Framelits dies on page 88 of our Annual Catalog. Whoo hoo! how great is that – Make fantastic fall projects and save too?

Of course, one of the great things about being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator is being part of a Team and being able to share what we love with each other. With the Holiday Catalog just launching it is a wonderful time to join Stampin’ Up! I’d love to talk with you and see if it is something you might enjoy doing. Why not drop me a line or give me a call and I can tell you all bout the benefits of joining my team, The Blue Mountain Stampers. We have such fun together. I know you’d enjoy it too.

Cheer All Year

Check out this fun card for Halloween that was made using the the Cheer All Year stamp set (139839) found in the Holiday Catalog.

All Year Chear

It’s a great choice since it has some great images and sentiments – and who doesn’t like feathers right? They are right on trend.

And Lorraine also used our fun and versatile Spider Web Doilies (139622). At first glance you see a spider web, but cut off the outer “web” part  and you’ve got a great medallion to use on your projects. Flip it over and add the color of your choice since the back is white – and you have a whole different look.

And do you notice the cute little Into the Woods Elements (139636)? Aren’t they darling? Both of these accessories are quick and easy to add when you are using our new Fine Tip Glue Pen (138309). It’s a must have adhesive for paper crafters!

Let’s get Spooky with the Seasonal Frame Thinlit Dies!

Today’s card that I created is a pretty quick and clean card – and I used the NEW Seasonal Frame Thinlit Dies (139658) found on page 40 of our NEW 2015 Holiday Catalog. This set of framelits comes with 8 dies! Yep, and it’ll take you though the holiday season with pizzazz.

Seasonal Frame Thinlits Die and Happy Haunting DSP

Just add your favorite Designer Series Papers, such as I’ve done with the Happy Haunting Designer Series Paper (139584) for Halloween. I couldn’t using resist these cute little ghosts to create a fun Halloween card to tuck inside a little treat for someone special.

And these new seasonal sentiments are quick and easy to add to any project when you use our Fine Tip Glue Pen (138309) found on page 43 of the Holiday Catalog.

On a personal note as some of you already know, Kaitlin was diagnosed with bilateral stress fractures in her legs August 18th and is now in a wheel chair for at least 6 to 8 weeks.

Kaitlin has been a real trooper about it all and has been very positive when facing the challenges of dorm life and College, however it’s also been a huge hurdle for her since she is used to being very active with school and work. I know in particular, not being able to work with the Baldwin High School for the marching season is pretty tough, since it is her passion and she has enjoys working with the staff and students and helping them learn.

It’s been wonderful that her professors in the music department have been so supportive and great to her along with her classmates. We’re counting ourselves extremely blessed that she has such a wonderful group of friends to help her get around college so she could continue school this fall. As you can imagine, it helps me sleep at night to know that they are there.

Kaitlin & Larry bilateral stress fractures

This photo was taken of  Kaitlin & Larry the first day in the chair and after we got the braces fitted on Friday the 21st. (She doesn’t yet have on her very “snazzy” over-sized white Velcro shoes to finish the outfit,  so she could her shoes on by herself. (It’s a good thing she has a great sense of humor about things – She and her friends are already thinking about Star Wars themed group costumes for Halloween,  she’s planning on being the storm trooper. LOL I can’t wait to see what they end up doing together.)

I hope to be back sharing with you again daily now that I’ve gotten our daughter settled and she is adapting to life on campus.

I’m available as always and am here to answer questions. If you need to leave a message or email me I’ll get back to you as soon as I can, just like normal. Of course, my class schedule hasn’t changed.
