You can find out more about this bundle on page 10 of the 2017 Occasions Catalog – and wait till you see the wonderful Designer Series Paper that is part of your FREE Sale-a-bration choices!!!

And finally this wonderful card using the Dragonfly Dreams stamp set (142924) and Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits Dies (142749) found on page 6.

Everyone who attended received a cute little treat from me too.

I made this using the Sealed with Love suite of products found on page 14 & 15 of the Occasions Catalog.

They are filled with, what else – Hershey’s Hugs & Kisses of course!

As usual I forgot to take photos during the event, but I did remember to take some before hand so you can see what it was like.

Cookie Cutter Christmas & Gingerbread Cookie Sugar Scrub

Posted on December 22, 2016 by Stamp with Jini

I love to make home made gifts and the Cookie Cutter Christmas bundle brought to mind the wonderful Gingerbread Cookie Sugar Scrub recipe I had. So here is what I whipped up for some family and friends.

I love the little wooden spoons I found since they can be stamped on.

Sugar scrubs are great for the winter and this one smells so yummy. My husband loves them for his hands and I actually use this scrub in the shower all over my body, hands, feet, legs, elbows – it is wonderful and moisturizes too. (Just make sure you are careful in the shower the scrub can make the floor slippery.)

I’m including the recipe below for you in case you’d like to make some last minute gifts too!

Gingerbread Cookie Sugar Scrub

1 c. brown sugar

1 c. sugar

1 c. vegetable oil

2 tsp. cinnamon

2 tsp. nutmeg

2 tsp. ginger

2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice

3 drops Vanilla extract

Mix well and place in a tightly sealed container such as a mason jar.

This keeps well in a cool place for weeks!

Today I also wanted to share some of the wonderful hand stamped cards that I’ve received for Christmas from friends – I can’t pick a favorite they are all so wonderful!

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Cookie Cutter Christmas (*142043)

Inks: Soft Suede (126978) and Real Red Classic Ink (126949)

Jolly Friends & more

Posted on December 14, 2016 by Stamp with Jini

Today’s projects are some that were given to me at our Team Christmas Party. I love the way Cindy and Deborah used the Warmth & Cheer Designer Series Paper Stack (141991). The rich plaid patterns in this stack are perfect for guy cards and they evoke a warm cozy feeling for winter. Reminders of childhood for me I suppose and those cold Wisconsin winters LOL! I digress so without further ado – here are the projects.

This first one Deborah made using the Jolly Friends stamp set (142112) and Jolly Hat Builder Punch (141847) that are part of the Year End Sale! and Holiday Catalog Retirement List.

The little bag that she made out of our Kraft Cardstock (133674) is heavy weight and durable – so you can stuff it full of chocolate! (Or what ever little goodie you’d like.) Deborah found the most adorable Hershey’s Kisses that looked like Santa’s Hat at Target! I had to stop and get me some of those – just right for my husband Larry. LOL!

And this little mini Hershey’s bar is a perfect little something to spread a little holiday cheer.

Cindy wrapped the chocolate and added some boughs from the Pretty Pines Thinlits Dies (141851) added a touch of the 5/8″ Burlap Ribbon (141487) and tie it up with a 5/8″ Organza Ribbon (114319) bow !

And finally this beautiful watercolor card that Cindy shared with us uses the S unshine Sayings Bundle (142338/142339) found in the Annual Catalog on page 97.

I love the simplicity of the card – How could it not bring a smile to your face?

Christmas Trinkets

Posted on November 15, 2016 by Stamp with Jini

Last week I shared with you that I was doing a Bazaar at the Good Shepherd Church in Gainesville so I thought I’d share some of the items I made for it over the next couple of days.

When I saw these little embellishments (in the Holiday Catalog on page 27) I knew just what I was going to do with them!

They are adorable and with 24 antiqued silver embellishments in each container they are a deal!

So I got to work to make these cute little gifts for the holidays. A set of earrings for family and friends.

The embellishments are well designed and finished on both sides so they are perfect for this type of project!

So what do you think? Have someone you think would like a pair? Don’t you love when we can use our paper crafting supplies for other uses? I know I do and of course I love to make hand made gifts for the holidays too!

Stop by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing a quick and easy stocking stuffer anyone would love! Spoiler alert – it’s filled with chocolate!

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Candy Cane Christmas (142037) and Tin of Tags (142180)

Inks: Cherry Cobbler (126966), Emerald Envy (141396), Crumb Cake (126975), and Real Red Classic Ink (126949)

On Stage – Atlanta

Posted on November 14, 2016 by Stamp with Jini

Have you ever wondered about what a Stampin’ Up! event is like for Demonstrators? The first weekend in November I was able to attend our regional On Stage event in the Atlanta area! Anticipation was high as Deborah and I drove south from Clarkesville into Atlanta to participate in a Sherrie’s Shoe Box Swap the day before the actual event. It was Deborah’s first Stampin’ Up! event and I knew she was going to love it!

One of the fun things about these events that I enjoy is being able to spend time with team members, friends and fellow demonstrators from around the country that I’ve met along my stamping journey! And of course I love to pamper my team and room mates.

Want to see what my room mate pillow gifts included? Well here is the batch I made for everyone.

And a close up of of the pillow gift. (I got carried away since I was having so much fun with the pillow gifts. What’s new right?) The little popcorn box wouldn’t hold it all. LOL!

But that was OK tho since the Blooms & Bliss Designer Series paper I was using is so lovely.. I didn’t want to stop.

Traditionally I always make a name tag for the bag we’ll receive. It helps to keep track of things! Especially when it’s filled with goodies!

This year I used clip art from the event to create the tags – do you recognize the star pattern paper from the Presents & Pinecones Designer Series Paper? I couldn’t resist putting a little bit of holiday magic into the tags.

Here is what was inside the popcorn box.

Since everyone is always on the move and sharing things I like to include hand sanitizer, too. This year I used these pocket sized wipes.

And who can’t use a little package of tissues?

along with some gum and a few pieces of candy.

I also found these wonderful post it note flags and couldn’t resist!

I thought the flags were perfect for marking our NEW Occasions Catalogs with!!! And OMG – I can’t wait for you to see it! I’m loving everything in it – my poor little post it flags are all used up! LOL! (I can’t wait for you to see the products at my Occasions Catalog Launch – I’ll let you know about it soon. But if you’d like to see it before it goes live, why not join my team? Demonstrators get to see things at least 30 days early!)

These pillow gifts greeted everyone in the hotel room.

And for my Team member I made a little something special – you can never have enough note books!

I really love the way this turned out. Can you see the watermark images done with the Paisleys & Poises stamp set (142196) on the initial? I also used the Petals & Paisleys Specialty Designer Series Paper (142017) and coordinating 3/8″ Ribbon Trio Pack (142021). LOVE this pack of paper – it’s so pretty and the colors are gorgeous together. (I can’t wait to make some more of these for holiday gifts.)

I think Deborah liked it too.

Stampin’ Up! makes an event special with a themed bag that you receive to hold all those goodies and giveaways!

And the tables are always decorated lovely – This years theme was based on the Lift Me Up stamp set.

And what can I say Stampin’ Up! out did themselves this year! Lot’s of fun, great ideas, sharing and more. And I can’t believe all the wonderful goodies we were given! Between our bag goodies, prize patrol and all event giveaways I was thrilled with lot’s of great products. And then at the very end of the event Stampin’ Up! announced we could share the items on the table that we’d used for our make n takes too!!! Wow! Starting with the most recent birthday we went around the table and chose items until they were gone! What fun.

My bag was over flowing by the end of the event.

And finally here is my Team photo of Deborah & I. (Unfortunately the Atlanta event sold out so quickly that not everyone on the Team who wanted to attend was able to go.)

But great news for my team and those of us in the Southeast – Our spring On Stage will be in Savannah, Georgia!!! Whoo hoo! Of course we’re already planning on a team trip!
