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.
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.

Stampin’ Up! is giving us a little holiday cheer early with a holiday Paper Pumpkin sale! Starting September 11, 2024 until October 10, 2024, anyone who signs up for our monthly Paper Pumpkin subscription as a new subscriber will receive 40% off their first kit. That’s right, 40% OFF!
Here are the details:
Where This Discount Is Applied This discount will be applied to one kit in the first kit shipment of the Paper Pumpkin subscription, which means new subscribers will get 40% off the October Nests of Christmas Paper Pumpkin Kit. After that, each month’s kit will return to the regular price of $25.00.
Qualifying for This Discount This offer is only for NEW month-to-month subscribers and is not valid on purchased or redeemed prepaid subscriptions. So if you have previously used an email address for a Paper Pumpkin subscription, you won’t qualify as a new subscriber to receive this discount. Also, anyone who signs up as a NEW subscriber to Paper Pumpkin but cancels by October 10 will not receive any kits or discounts.
This is a great time to try Paper Pumpkin Kits if you haven’t have a chance to do so.
And great news we have a coordinating set of dies that work with our kits in October, November, and December

Catalog Organizational Items
As you know before I really get crafting I find a few organizational items helpful. I’ve been doing these now for years and you’ve given me wonderful feedback about liking them. So if you’ve missed past catalog organizational items, you can click on the Organization link in the side bar to find all my past Organizational items simply look for the catalog you need.
Die Case Inserts
And so that you can get those Dies on the shelf with your other cases, here is my Die Case Inserts for the new 2024 Mini Catalog. If you haven’t used these before you’ll find the ones for the 2024 Annual Catalog HERE. And if you need others you can find them under Organization section.
Love my organizational idea? What now? Simply print the PDF onto Basic White Card stock (159276) and trim on lines. Then insert into one of our Standard Stamp Cases (119105). And add a magnetic sheet (I use vent covers I find at the hardware store) to the inside using our Tear & Tape (138995). Got a big set? Add the sheet to the front and back covers to hold more! Yes it’s that easy.
I’m also sharing my Designer Series Paper card stock color reference PDF this includes the new items found in the Scrapbooking Brochure for easy reference too.
