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.

Starburst Sayings

This weekend I held my Sale-a-bration Saturday event and so today I thought I’d share the project that everyone who was able to attend made. The card uses the Starburst Sayings Bundle (134817/134818) from the Occasions Catalog (found on page 34).

Starburst Sayings Leadership Swap 2014

This card was one that I enjoyed making during my Leadership Shoebox swap and I just knew my group would too.

The card has such a great combination of textures because of the different products it uses. One of my favorites items that was used is the Core’dinations Card stock which was embossed with one of our exclusive Sale-a-bration items – the Decorative Dots Embossing Folder. This folder is a great addition to any collection, after all who doesn’t love polka dots? And this is a wonderfully whimsically collection of dots!

Core’dintions Cardstock is so cool because you can do so many different things with it. Use it just like it is and see the wonderful linen design like we did with the Real Red piece or emboss and sand it like we did with the piece of Pool Party to let the core color shine through. Or tear it and really show the core color off to add texture – how many different ways can you think of?

Can you see the Watercolor Washi Tape? It’s under the scrumptious Gold Baker’s Twine – adding just the right bit of color.

Here is a picture of some of the gang stamping.

Saleabration Saturday group

I always love to see the different ways that they take the same pieces and come up with different designs.

Stop by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing the little goodie I gave everyone who attended.

Hello, Lovely

Today’s card is one that I made in my Leadership Shoebox Swap last month and it uses the Hello, Lovely stamp set from the 2013 Catalog (page 22). I thought Janeen Mack created such a cool card and it was a lot of fun making it’s focal point – a low profile shaker.

Hello, Lovely Leadership Swap 2014 Low Profile Shaker Frame

This card was fairly simple to make, although it does have a lot of parts to it.

It starts with a Coastal Cabana card base and a layer of Chocolate Chip card stock that has been embossed with the Stripes Embossing folder. On top of that is the low profile shaker filled with some small hearts punched from coordinating card stock and some little arrows that have been stamped and cut out with Paper Snips.

Next comes the Chocolate Chip die cut letters spelling out the word “LOVE” that have been added with small pieces of Stampin’ Dimensions. Then two more of the little arrows stamped and cut out added to the letters with some more small pieces of Stampin’ Dimensionals. And a little sparkle is added with the two Rhinestones.

The final step is the sentiment, stamped in Chocolate Chip, and cut out with Paper Snips. Added to the bottom is a little piece of Coastal Cabana Ruffle Stretch Trim to finish it off.

Isn’t it just too cute?

I’ve modified how I make this shaker frame slightly from the way Janeen did it, to make it a bit easier for me, and hopefully for you too! Want to know how the low profile shaker frame is made? It’s so simple really – why not watch my video tutorial to show you how?

Easy, right?

Did you hear my four legged kid in the background? That was Chewie. I’m not sure what got into her, but for some reason Chewie felt the need to make sure all those “awful” robins stayed out of her yard while I was videoing – LOL.

I hope you enjoyed the video – Can you see all kinds of possibilities for these low profile shaker frames with all the different shape Framelits we have available? Leave me a comment and let me know what you think.

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Hello, Lovely (130240/130243)

Inks: Chocolate Chip (126979) and Coastal Cabana (131175)

Paper: Coastal Cabana (131297), Chocolate Chip (102128), and Whisper White Card Stock (100730)

Accessories: Ovals Collection Framelits (129381), Big Shot Magnetic Platform (130658), Typeset Alphabet Bigz Die (127553), Stripes Embossing Folder (132128), Coastal Cabana 3/8″ Ruffle Stretch Trim (130024), Rhinestone Basic Jewels (119246), Paper Snips (103579), Multipupose Liquid Glue (110755), and Stampin’ Dimensionals (104430)

Language of Love

What do you do when it cold or rainy outside? And it’s been that way a lot here in North Georgia – it’s winter after all. I don’t tend to get cabin fever like the rest of my family – for some reason this type of weather makes me want to bake!

blueberry buckle

Yep, I said bake. I love the way it warms up the house and enjoy smelling all those wonderful aromas as I bake. Not that my family complains – they’ve got a freezer full of goodies now.

So today I thought I would share with you one of our favorite recipes for coffee cake that uses the blueberries from the yard. Blueberries are soooo easy to grow and once they get going they give you LOTS of berries.

Freezing the extras is really easy too. Just rinse them off, lay them out on a cookie sheet, dry and pop them in the freezer. (This lets them freeze individually so that you can just pull a few out at a time.) Then place them into bags or containers. I’ll find my containers partially emptied at times, since Larry and our kids love snitching from the containers LOL. A little taste of summer year round!

blueberry buckle piece

Blueberry Buckle

Topping:

½ c. brown sugar

1/3 c. flour

½ tsp. cinnamon

¼ c. butter, softened

Mix topping ingredients together and set aside until batter is finished.

Batter:

2 c. flour

2 tsp. baking powder

½ tsp. salt

¾ c. sugar

¼ c. shortening

1 egg

½ c. milk

2 c. (1 pint) blueberries, washed and drained

Mix together sugar, shortening and egg. Stir in milk. Sift together flour, baking powder and salt; add to shortening mix. Fold in blueberries. Spread batter in greased and floured 8×8 inch pan. Sprinkle with topping. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 – 50 minutes.

Fresh blueberries are best, however you can use frozen. If frozen, do not rinse, as they will turn batter blue – just gently turn into the batter. A few extra minutes may be needed for bake time when using frozen berries. Just check for doneness with a tooth pick.

You can see one of our favorite recipes for fresh blueberries that I share with you last summer by clicking HERE.

Anyhow you want to see the Language of Love stamping project, right?

Here is a card that I received during Leadership that uses the Language of Love and So Very Grateful stamps sets from the Occasions Catalog. Karin shows another way to use the Language of Love stamp set to create a thank you card – it’s clearly not just for Valentine’s Day.

Language of Love Leadership Swap

I am hoping you can see it – but there is a torn edge on the floral pattern of designer series paper that adds interest and texture to this card.

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Language of Love (133074/133077) and So Very Grateful (133050/133053)

Inks: Real Red (126949) and Coastal Cabana (1331175)

Paper: Fresh Prints Designer Series Paper Stack (132996), Real Red (102482), Coastal Cabana (131297), and Whisper White card stock (100730)

Serene Silhouettes

Yesterday I showed you a Valentine project using the A Round Array Stamp Set. Today’s card uses the Serene Silhouettes stamp set as it’s focal point, and same sentiment from the A Round Array. (The A Round Array set is really a great all occasions set with some lovely images. Want to see them all  – click here.)

I really love the images in the Serene Silhouettes (132073/127324). I think they are elegant and timeless and can be used with all kinds of occasions.

Serene Silhouettes

I stamped this card during Leadership during one of the Shoebox Swaps. (I wish I could tell you who designed it, but there was no name included.)

Serene Silhouettes Leadership Swap 2014

I really like the colors chosen and  the layout. The Red Glimmer Paper gives it some “bling” and a pop of color, just right for Valentine’s Day. But I think this layout works well for other occasions too. What do you think? Can you see a birthday or even a sympathy card with just a couple of changes?

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Serene Silhouettes (132073/127324) and A Round Array (129087/129090)

Inks: Marina Mist (126962) and StazOn Black (101406)

Paper: Red Glimmer Paper (121790), Basic Black (121045), and Whisper White (100730)

Accessories: 7/8″ Scallop Circle Punch (129404), 1 1/4″ Scallop Circle Punch (127811), Basic Black 1/8″ Taffeta Ribbon (119261), Bitty Butterfly Punch (129406), Small Heart Punch (117193), and Stampin’ Sponges (101610)

Sweetheart Treat Bags

Did you know that our A Whole Lot of Love promotion has been extended until February 14th? What does that mean? You can still get the great products and kits until February 14th – Yippie, right? Click HERE to see more about A Whole Lot of Love promotion and the items that are included.

Here is project I made with the Sweetheart Treat Bags (134610) and the Love You to the Moon stamp set (133140/133143) and stepped up a bit with a couple of things not included in the kit.

Love You to the Moon Sweetheart Treat Bag

I filled this little Sweetheart Treat Bag with chocolate kisses and then stamped my image from the Love You to the Moon stamp set in Real Red (126949). Punched it out using the Ticket Duo Builder Punch (126883) and layered that onto a Real Red punched ticket that I cut in half. Stapled a little piece of our Pool Party Seam Binding Ribbon (125582) and the banner that comes in the kit to the bag to seal it, and then added my image using a dimensional. Quick and easy peasy!

You can see my Sweetheart Treat Bag with just the kit elements HERE.

Want to see a Valentine 3d swap that I received during Leadership? This one is great project for the kids or even a teacher to use for class Valentines.

A Round Array Leadership Swap 2014

It just requires some pencils and our 1″ x 8″ Cello Bags (124134).  The cute little image from the A Round Array stamp set (129087/129090) was stamped in Real Red and punched out with our 7/8″ Scallop Circle Punch (129404). Then layered onto a 1 1/4″ Scallop Circle Punch (127811) with a piece of Real Red 1/4″ Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon and attached to the cello bag.

How much easier can it get right? Any child would love this as their class treat. A new pencil was always a hit with my kids.

Love You to the Moon Candy Bar Holder

Here is a cute little candy bar treat holder that I made using the Envelope Punch Board and the Love You the the Moon Stamp (133140/133143) set from the Occasions Catalog (page 25).

Love You to the Moon Candy Bar Holder

They’re quick and easy to make and a lot of fun to give. I made these little candy bar holders at Christmas using the Color Me Christmas stamp set, you can see the video tutorial showing you how I made them  HERE.

For this project I started with the Retro Fresh Designer Series paper (1326993). I used my Coastal Cabana, Baked Brown Sugar, and Tangerine Tango Stampin’ Write Markers to color the image. Punched it out with my 1 1/4″ Circle Punch. Layered that on a 1 3/8″ Coastal Cabana circle and then a 1 3/4″ Baked Brown Sugar Scallop Circle that I used my paper piercer and mat on to punch the scallops.

I love my punches they are fun and easy to use – so these little focal points are fast to do.

My little treat holds a mini candy bar.

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Love You the the Moon Stamp (133140/133143)

Snow Storm Update

Snow Storm January 2014

On a personal note, while the snow storm has shut down Atlanta, I’m happy to say that here in my neck of the woods things aren’t so bad. My yard stick shows that we got about 1″ here in our yard and I’m always thankful that Habersham County has such a great handle on storms like this. With all these small, curvy mountain roads I know it takes a lot of work and planning. And while I haven’t seen a plow yet on my side road I know that they’ve been here and the main highway is fine since both my guys made it into work today.

I’m not sure why Atlanta says that the storm moved in faster than expected, since from what I can tell it was exactly what the news told us to expect. Maybe I missed something? (And yes, it stills amazes me how they can predict even the right time for things like this now a days.) But unfortunately things are a mess in metro Atlanta for now.

My heart goes out to those families (in Atlanta) who spent hours on the road last night trying to get to their children (who were not released from school early enough) and are still trying to get home or at school. Cars and buses were stranded in the bitter cold and on the ice (as the sun went down) for hours trying to get where they were going.

It’s suppose to be a cold one today – so they don’t expect much, if any melting of the ice on the roads. And now there is a lot of ice, so it will be a long day for those clearing cars that were abandoned, some after running out of gas.

This momma hen is still not real comfortable to have her chicks spread out and not under our own roof at times like these. Larry thankfully made it home with just one close call on a icy hill coming down our road. Armed with Dads advice our oldest took a different route home and made it safely.

Our youngest, Kaitlin thankfully has had her college trip to Savannah for the Georgia Music Educators Conference postponed until tomorrow when things are suppose to be warmer. She’s enjoying the snow days at school .Finally getting to play in snow late last night with her friends. Since she is a lot farther south, the snow didn’t arrive until after 8 p.m. last night.

We are thankful we missed the brunt of the storm, but are thinking of our neighbors and praying everyone stays safe – thankfully there were no deaths reported from the accidents so far here in Georgia.

On a lighter note I thought you might enjoy the view that I woke up to here at the house this morning.

Snow Storm January 2014 (4) Snow Storm January 2014 (3)

My son took this shot of the front as he warmed up his truck to get to work this morning. I’m staying in today – no point in going out if you don’t have to, right? I’m waging the battle of keeping my feet warm. Shhh don’t tell my husband but hot chocolate, one of my biscotti, and the fire sounds like a good thing today. LOL

Snow Storm January 2014 (2)

And here is another photo of the back yard – the tracks of course were from the fun my son and his friend had playing in the snow together – It never stays pretty long.

Snow Storm January 2014 (5)

And for those of you reading this across the states dealing with the bitter cold and snowfall of this winter – hang in there and stay warm.

I know you’re probably shaking your head right now, thinking, “really? that ‘s crazy for so little snow on the ground.” As a transplant from Wisconsin I used to think the same thing when I first moved here. It’s a southern thing – and you learn to embrace it as you run to the store to load up on bread, eggs and milk to prepare for these things. LOL

Have a great day – and leave me a comment to let me know what you’re planning to do this “snow day”. I’d love to hear from you.

Texture Boutique Embossing Machine is Back!

Stampin’ Up! has offered this product for a short time last year; now it’s coming to the 2014-2015 Annual Catalog – and Stampin’ Up! has got a limited supply early, so they are making them available before the official catalog debut. Whoo hoo!

The Texture Boutique (132657) is designed for Embossing folders only – and is a great portable option since it is light weight.

Don’t have a Big Shot, but love our embossing folders? Then this machine is for you! And it’s only $29.95 – a low cost way to start your own Embossing Folder collection to add texture to your projects.
