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.

You’ve been asking for it…. Now you can get away and stamp the night away too!

For Peep’s Sake – Day 2

Yesterday I shared a quick and easy card to make for Easter. Today’s cards use the same stamp set, For Peep’s Sake, but have a few more layers. Both I think are fun and colorful for spring.

This first card uses our Brights Designer Series Paper Stack (130134) great for using when you are creating multiples of things. Teamed up with Rich Razzleberry it’s a fun and bold card. A fun twist on the traditional Easter colors.

For Peep's Sake Leadership Swap (1)

This second card uses our Retro Fresh Washi Tape (133001). Don’t you love this stuff? Quick and easy – no adhesive required and fun patterns to book.

Crazy About You

Today I’m going to share with you some cards I created with the Crazy About You stamp set (138856/138859/137137). This stamp set has a ton of great sentiments along with 3 bold images and coordinating punches. And you know how I love punches! Great for quick and easy card making.

For this card I’ve teamed the  image up with our new Yellow Citrus Chalk Ink (138093) and our fun new Chalkboard Paper (137786) along with the Best Day Ever Designer Series Paper and Accessory Pack. You can still earn these Sale-a-bration items FREE the next two days until Sale-a-bration ends on March 31st.

Crazy About You and Best Day Ever DSP (2)

This next one uses the Best Day Ever paper and accessories, but this time I used the sentiment from the So You stamp set (137165)

Crazy About You and Best Day Ever DSP (1)

So what do you think? Why not leave me a comment and let me know which is your favorite? I’d love to hear from you.

And as promised yesterday, here are some more cards made with Sale-a-bration products that I’ve created.

This first one uses the A Happy Thing – I love this little pudgy guy.

A Happy Thing

And the bright cheerful lemon. I’m not sure why I love this lemon so much – it just makes me feel like the sun is shinning.

A Happy Thing (2)

And some Irresistibly Yours Specialty Designer Series Paper – LOVE that you can add the color you want and there are sooo many cool techniques you can do with this paper.

Irresistably Yours DSP Simply Wonderful and Irresistably Yours DSP

And another with the You Brighten My Day Crushed Curry polka dot piece.
