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.

Chattanooga Regional Creative Challenge- What a Thrill

Posted on September 28, 2012 by Stamp with Jini

After a wonderfully energizing day at Regional that included meeting new stamping friends and seeing old ones, swapping cards, learning new tips and ideas, prize patrol, great giveaways, and of course spending time stamping I was shocked and honored to learn that my Festive Fall Fun swap card was one of the 2 Creative Challenge winners chosen by the Stampin’ Up! staff to be featured as a winner at the Chattanooga Regional.

I have to tell you I couldn’t believe it as my name was called and my card was shown on the two huge screens. Mine was just one of two cards chosen from the demonstrators there! My ears roared while my team encouraged me to get out of my seat and up onto the stage. And since Bonnie Thurber was describing the other persons’ card as mine while I approached the stage, the only thing going through my mind as my friends cheered me on was that the lovely Christmas card Bonnie was describing wasn’t mine.

I can’t tell you how thrilled I was to receive a hug and generous gift, a shopping spree, that was presented to me by the director of Demonstrator training, Bonnie Thurber. Even now I sit here looking at the delightful card they gave me and shake my head because it doesn’t seem real. What a thrill it was to be chosen. And of course now I can order all those wonderful items on my wish list from the Holiday Catalog with my shopping spree! Yippee!

Would you like a chance to join in all the Stampin’ Up! fun? If you love to stamp why not join my team! You can click HERE for more details on the benefit of becoming a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator.

Are you asking how you can learn how you can learn this technique and make this card too? Now you can! I can teach you how in my Festive Fall Fun Stamp Camp. Why not sign up today and learn how to make this winning card along with the other fun projects at my upcoming October event, Festive Fall Fun Stamp Camp. Click HERE to see my Calandar of Events and all the details.

I bet you’d like to see that lovely Christmas card I mentioned earler. I’m sorry to say I don’t remember the name of my fellow demonstrator who also received this honor and was with me up on stage since I was so stunned. If you do, let me know so I can give her credit for her card that she created with the Come to Bethlehem stamp set. Isn’t it lovely?
