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.

Do you need some great birthday cards for those guys in your life? Then Wetlands may be just the set for you! It’s great for all kinds of occasions since it contains a nice selection of sentiments. And I just love the size and the font used in this set.

This lovely card was one of our shoebox swaps during this past weekend’s Blue Mountain Stampers’ Getaway. It was designed by one of my team mates, Janie. Janie is wonderfully creative and I always enjoy the projects she comes up with.

The card has a wonderful combination of colors and textures so I hope the picture does this card justice.

Another Pictogram Punches Swap

Posted on August 8, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

Today’s post will be short and sweet since it has been a busy week and I’m getting ready for my Blue Mountain Stampers’ Weekend Getaway today. I love these weekends since they are a time to share ideas and creative energy with my fellow demos. If it is something you’d like to know more about contact me and I’d be happy to share with you how to join in the fun.

Anyhow – on to today’s card. I love the mono-chromatic look and today’s swap from convention fits the bill. Lisa created this card using different shades of purple – and who doesn’t like purple, right? It’s always been one of my favorite colors. I even did my bedroom in purple as a teen.

Lisa used the Pictogram Punches stamp set to create the focal point on the card – clever huh? I love the versatility of this stamp set. It is a great year round choice for all kinds of occasions. You can see the black & white card using this set HERE.

Black & White World of Dreams

Posted on August 6, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

Well, I’m back after another whirl wind college campus tour today – this time Georgia State. Wow, what a difference between Georgia State and West Georgia. There is lots to think about. But mean while as promised here is the last Black & White convention swap that I’ll be sharing.

This card uses the NEW World of Dreams set found on page 127 in the 2014 Catalog. This one was one of my favorites as soon as I saw the catalog. Love the images and the sentiments and since it is a silhouette set it opens up all kinds of techniques that can be used for projects.

I also love the fact that this card uses another of the patterns from the Back to Black Designer Series Paper. Makes these black & white cards so easy. And isn’t the sentiment’s font great? This sentiment comes from the Project Life Remember This set, which is full of great sentiments for all kinds of occasions.

Supplies:

Stamp Set: World of Dreams (134183/134186), Project Life Remember This (135786), Petite Petals (133152/133155)
