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.

Posted on January 30, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

Have you seen the Cross My Heart Stamp Set (item 126580 w or item 126582 cm) in the Spring Catalog? Crossword puzzles remind me of my stepfather, Paul, who use to sit and work his from the Milwaukee Sentinel newspaper every day. When he could he would encourage me to help him fill them out – I was an awful speller as a child so this took a lot effort on his part.

Well, the Cross My Heart Stamp Set is just, fun – and I wanted to share a 3d swap that I received during Leadership from fellow demo Judy Westcott.

Judy used several items from our Spring Catalog along with our Petite Purse Die (item 125606) to make this Valentine treat. Isn’t it cute – and of course what can you put inside? Chocolate of course!

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Cross My Heart

Inks: Raspberry Ripple

Paper: More Amore Specialty Designer Series Paper, Pool Party, Pretty in Pink and Whisper White Card Stock
