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.
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

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.

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.

It’s the lazy days of summer and I’m dreaming about the beach, how about you? I have always loved the water and watching the waves roll in. Lake Michigan was a great place to go in the summer as a teen as it was always cooler on the water. The Under the Moon stamp set (163531) makes me think of those lazy summer nights with my friends.
Check out these lovely cards using this stamp set. The first card uses some simple heat embossing with our Metallic Wow! Embossing Powders (165678) to create a back drop of stars.

Love hummingbirds? I started to enjoy them about the time we started camping in the mountains years ago as they weren’t something I saw often growing up. My mother in law had a feeder on her porch and we’d sit on the swing watching them. I was amazed at just how close they would come to us. As we moved into our new home, I made sure to have one up in front of my dining room window so I could enjoy them. So when I saw the Thoughtful Expressions Stamp set (1628915)
It was one I thought would make some beautiful cards and it includes some sentiments that aren’t typical ones we find in sets. So today’s card uses this wonderful little hummingbird image to create a card I’m afraid we need more often than we’d like.
