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.
This pack includes 2 full sheets of quick and easy panels that you can create simple cards like this with. And since the Cheerful Daisies Bundle (161297) includes some all occasions sentiments you can use it for all kinds of occasions.

Have you seen the soft and lovely Bubble Bath that is part of our Subtle Collection? I was immediately drawn to the Bubble Bath and couldn’t wait to get started stamping with it. I think you’ll love this new color and while I thought it would be a pure pink it has a bit of a purple feel to it making it great to team up with our returning Fresh Freesia.
Here is one of the first cards I designed with the NEW Bubble Bath.
I’ve teamed up this new color with an old favorite, Color & Contour stamp set (154994). I really like how a new color breaths makes a stamp set I already have feel new again.
Here is a quick video tutorial for you along with a PDF with measurements and supply list.

Have you seen the beautiful and earthy In Colors for 2023-2025? I was immediately drawn to the Boho Blue and couldn’t wait to get started stamping with it. In the process I’ve fallen in love with not only the Boho Blue but also the Pebbled Path! I think you will too as it is a great neutral to team up with any of the In Colors.
Here is one of the first cards I designed with the In Colors.
I really like how a new color breaths new life into a stamp set that we already have and gives it a totally different look.
The great thing about the 2023-2025 In Colors is they are great for your budget since they come in a money saving Bundle and have assortment packs of card stock and accessories. So that makes it a great way to get started crafting quickly.

I’ve shared some of my past organizational items that I’ve been using for years the last couple of days for the NEW 2023 Annual Catalog and so today I thought I’d share something new with you, my Stampin’ Blends Labels.
Yes, I finally sat down and created this file for myself and it includes all the current 2023 Stampin’ Blends including the Natural Tones all in one place. This PDF is simple to use, simply print it off onto a piece of Basic White Card stock and cut it into strips so that your punch will slide in on each side.
Then simply punch out the color you need and use a Mini Glue Dot to attach it to your cap.
Yep, it is that quick and simple! Now I just need to make sure to put them right side up in their spots so I can read them lol.
And if you want to see how I use the storage for the Stampin’ Blends I shared that with you HERE.
Yesterday I shared with you my Labels that I use for almost everything lol and some of you had some questions about my card stock box and why there were little silver clips on some of the folder. (You can click HERE to see the labels and that post)
The answer is a quick and easy one – inventory. These little silver binder clips tell me that I have a new package of card stock waiting in the wings. I picked up this tip years ago from a fellow crafter and find it very useful as it is a quick and easy visual cue to let me know that I need to order that color when the file folder gets a bit thin.
Speaking of those labels – My ink pads needed a bit of sprucing up with those new labels. I love to make it easy to find where things go ink my ink rack.
Not only can I quickly see the name but also the color ink pad that is hiding on my desk when I clean up. I simply cut a bit of card stock down to fit in the slot add the label and use add a strip of Stampin’ Seal or a Mini Glue Dot to the front to hold it down.
And last but not least, the labels that come on the underside of the pad. How do you use them?
Our pads now have 2 names of the color in English. Now I can not only put the name on the end of the pad, but also along the top edge so I can see it when it’s closed or when it’s open and I’m stamping.
I love the fact that Stampin’ Up! looks at small details like this to make crafting easier. How about you?
I hope you’ve enjoyed my organizational items for the Color Refresh and the 2023 Annual Catalog and find them helpful.
