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.

Yuletide Village

Posted on by

The landscape of winter – that is what filled the Yuletide Village stamp set (164310).

This set allows you to create wonderful landscapes that remind you of the holidays. Team it up with the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder (162026) and you’ve got endless options.

Check out these cards made with this stamp set.

This first card uses the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder (162026) to create some texture as back drop for this simply stamped image. A bit of coloring with our Stampin’ Blends and a swish of Wink of Stella Glitter Brush (141897) adds a bit of sparkle to the card. Quick and easy, making it a great card to make a number of quickly for your holiday needs.

And finally this bold Blackberry Bliss church scene.

This card uses our Small Blending Brushes (160518/153611) to create a striking backdrop for the church using Blackberry Bliss and Fresh Freesia Classic Ink Pads. The church itself has been stamped, colored with our Watercolor Pencils (161700/149014) and then fussy cut. A quick bit of the Blackberry Bliss & Gold 1/2″ Textured Ribbon (164039) has been tied at the bottom to add a bit of shine.

Great set, right? Why not stop by my online store and check out these products and more? There is still time to get all those holiday stamping projects done.

Winterly Tree Tops

Posted on by

Love birds and nature scenes? I love to watch the bird feeder during the winter and the variety of birds that come to enjoy the food I put out for them. Sunflower seeds, suet, the choices in bird food have really grown since I started to do this at our home. I’ve even grown some sunflowers to share. Birds are always entertaining to watch. So when I saw the Nests of Winter Suite (164072) I couldn’t resist.

Today I’m going to share some cards with you that I received in my swap highlighting this Suite. This first card uses the die to frame the Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper (164183). Our Stampin’ Blends were used to give the images a bold pop of color and the Happy Labels Pick a Punch (160693) was used to create the tag for the greeting and add a bit more texture to the card front.

And how about this next card that uses the rich Gold Mercury Vellum Specialty Designer Series Paper (Online Exclusive 164142) and our Metallic Enamel Effects Basics (161610) to give it a rich look.

A bit of our black powder from the Basics Wow! Embossing Powder (165679) and heat from our Heat Tool (129053) give has been used on the sentiment to make it shine against the Real Red Card front.

The birds in this set can be colored in different ways to show off your favorite birds and the Designer Series Paper can be cut out with the Winterly Tree Top Dies (164065) which is always fun for easy cards that don’t require any coloring!

Splendid Autumn

Posted on by

The colors are turning and we’ve pretty much reached our peak here in North Georgia, although there have been days lately you wouldn’t know it was leaf watching season due to the temperatures.

Today’s card highlights all those beautiful colors and landscapes. And if you love those kinds of Designer Series Paper images that make your projects quick and easy you’ll want to make sure to check out the Splendid Autumn 6×6 Designer Series Paper (164173) that make it so easy to create!

This card uses a full panel of the fall colors and adds the accessories from the Splendid Autumn Suite Collection (164062) to highlight the sentiment. The Woven Golden Leaves (164059) and Wild Wheat 3/8″ Rustic Striped Ribbon (164061) add a ton of texture. And if you haven’t seen the beautiful Faux Glass Dots (164060) you’ll want to be sure to get some, you won’t be disappointed.

You’ll definitely love the landscapes that evoke the feel of fall!

Caring Leaves

Posted on by

Looking for a lovely stamp set for fall that isn’t just for fall? Why not check out the Caring Leaves stamp set (164273)? This set has some lovely sentiments.

Today’s card uses this stamp set and the Regal Winter Designer Series Paper (164156) to kick off it’s color choice. I love the way these leaves have all the shading and texture built right into them. And since it is a two step stamp it is easy to use multiple colors to create a fall feel easily.

The Changing Leaves Hybrid Embossing Folder (Online Exclusive 164138) adds some wonderful texture to the Poppy Parade background layer. And did you know that this Hybrid comes with a set of dies that snap into the embossing folder and cut out the images too. So cool.

The all occasions sentiment is one of the two from the set and has been punched out using the 1 3/4″ Circle Punch (Online Exclusive 119850) and a bit of our Wild Wheat Jute found in the 2023-2025 In Color Jute Trim (161637) has been tucked behind it.

Like this set too? Why not stop by my Online Store and check it out today?
