Soft & Subtle Petite Petals

Posted on January 20, 2016 by Stamp with Jini

Yesterday I shared the wine charms I made for my Team Winter Retreat and today I’m sharing some of the Shoebox Swap items – Check out these great projects that we made.

This first card was Cindy’s she loves the Subtle Collection of colors and this card defiantly showcases that.

Cindy used the Petite Petals (133152/133155) and Pictorgram Punches stamp set (134261/134264) to create a variety of flowers. She added a bit of layering to create interest and some Stampin’ Dimensionals to add more interest and depth.

The sentiment she used is from our Cottage Greetings stamp set (138940/139962).

Anna used one of my favorite Sale-a-bration stamp sets – Sky is the Limit (141282/141349) and the World Traveler Embossing Folder (138289).

Anna also chose Soft Sky from our Subtles Collection.

This last item is a 3d item and Janette loves creating gift items just like I do!

Cute right? It holds a little note pad. Janette used our Project Life Moments Like These (138740) and the Have a Cuppa Designer Series Paper Stack (140567) and Bermuda Bay 1/8″ Stitched Ribbon (140569) along with the too cute Bow Paper Clips (140559) that are found in the Occasions Catalog.

Sorry about the lighting, I was having problems today with photos since we are expecting a winter weather event here in North Georgia and it is really over cast.

Botanical Blooms Wine Charms & NEW Weekly Deals

Posted on January 19, 2016 by Stamp with Jini

Do you enjoy using your stamping supplies in different ways? One of the things I love the most about crafting is the versatility it gives us. And Stampin’ Up! makes this easy with all the different choices we have.

Today’s project is a little wine charm that I made with the Botanical Blooms Bundle (140625). When I saw this stamp set and it’s Framelits Dies I knew it would be a lot of fun to play with!

I made these little wine charms for my Team members as a little surprise during our Winter Retreat. Everyone who attended our Team Retreat got to choose one in the color they liked. While all the flowers were the same I used different beads to set them apart and add another pop of color to them to them.

Check back later this week – I’ll be sharing a quick video on how I made them with you.

Retreats are part of the fun of being a Blue Mountain Stamper – we do them 3 times a year and enjoy the fellowship and time away from our daily responsibilities. After all who doesn’t like 3 days of uninterrupted stamp time? It’s a very laid back weekend, sleep when you please or not at all. LOL!

We also hold a Shoebox Swap as part of the weekend fun – those that can’t come for the weekend craft for the day or just come for the swap.

It’s a lot of fun to see what everyone created to share and it’s a great way to learn new things and try new products too. Here’s Cindy taking a few minutes to explain her shoebox.

Sound interesting? Ask me more about my Team Retreats?

Stop back by tomorrow – I can’t wait to share our swaps with you!

Love Blossom Domed Treat Box

Posted on January 12, 2016 by Stamp with Jini

A New Catalog is a lot of fun – and of course when it’s Sale-a-bration, it’s even more fun! So to start the New Year off with a bang I held my NEW Catalog Sneak Peek Event on the 3rd of January – two days before the catalog launched! That meant that everyone who attended was able to play with some of the new products and see them before it went live! Whoo hoo! A great way to start off the New Year, right?

In today’s post I’m going to share with you some photos of the event. This first one is a picture of the classroom set up – to show you a bit of what greeted everyone who attended.

And this second one shows you what was at everyone’s spot.

Everyone who attended received a couple of special treats from me – and in today’s Video Tutorial I’ll show you how the little chocolate holder was made.

I call these Love Blossom Domed Treat Box – I’m so original, not with names – but well I called them this because they’re domed or treasure box shaped!

I used our new 6×6 paper stack, Love Blossoms since they were the perfect size! I didn’t even have to cut the paper!

Want to see a quick video tutorial on how to make them? Well, here you go. (Sorry about the froggy voice, I’m fighting winter allergies and just couldn’t wait any longer to share this with you.)

Domed Treat Box Video Tutorial:

A great project, huh? And it holds quite a bit so you can put almost any item you’d like inside. Of course, I wanted to pamper my guests with some Valentine chocolate, (before Larry found it!) so this was perfect.

And of course, our Honeycomb Happiness (Sale-a-bration 1412788/141291) is an item that you can earn FREE during Sale-a-bration. I love the images and thought the sentiment was perfect for this project!

I’ve given you a complete supply list for this project below. And I don’t know about you, but I find the Envelope Punch Board a fantastic addition to my stamping supplies and have been finding all kinds of things besides envelopes to make with it! If you haven’t already seen my Getting Started with the Envelope Punch Board Tutorial – why not check it out now?

NEW WEEKLY DEALS START TODAY!

Quick & Easy Last Minute Ideas

Posted on December 18, 2015 by Stamp with Jini

Yikes, Christmas is next Friday. If you’re feeling a bit stressed – I may have some help. Over the next 5 days I’ll be sharing quick and easy ideas for last minute gifts and wrapping.

Today’s idea uses our Take Out Boxes (135827). Great for some quick and easy last minute treats to have on hand.

Fill them with whatever you choose – maybe some chocolate, cookies or even a mini loaf of bread! Who wouldn’t love that?

Wrap a piece of our Cherry Cobbler 1 1/4″ Striped Grosgain Ribbon around and tie in a bow. Add a tag and voila! Or why not make a belly band from the Merry Moments Designer Series Paper (138450) and top it with a medallion instead of a tag?

Want to know what is in mine?

This cute little Cherry Cobbler tinted jar I found in the dollar spot along with a pair of aloe holiday footsies for a little holiday pampering.After all who doesn’t need a little pampering after all the holiday hustle and bustle?

I’ve used the Merry Moments Designer Series Paper and my 2″ Circle Punch to cover the top of this little mason jar. Added a Cherry Cobber 1 3/4″ Scallop Circle and our image from the A Little Something Stamp Set (139827) that I punched out using my 1 3/8″ Circle Punch (119860) . The little candy cane was perfect since the jar holds a wonderfully scented Peppermint Stick Sugar Scrub. If you’d like the recipe you can find it HERE.

Want some quick and easy holiday cards? Check out these two great swaps I received.

Made with the Work of Art Stamp set (134111/134114) this card is sure to bring a smile to someones face.

Or how about soft and elegant.

Sandy used the Flurry of Wishes (139732) and Silver Glimmer Paper (135314) teamed up with a classic winter blue, Pool Party (122924) to create this card.

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Oh, What Fun (140386)

Inks: Cherry Cobbler (126966)

Paper: Merry Moments Designer Series Paper (138450), Cherry Cobbler (119685), Mossy Meadow (133676) and Whisper White Card Stock (100730)

A Visit from Santa

Posted on December 11, 2015 by Stamp with Jini

I love pampering my Team, the Blue Mountain Stampers and this past Tuesday when we gathered together for our Annual Christmas party that’s just what I tried to do.

We gathered together for fun, fellowship and of course a bit of stamping! Everyone brought a dish and we enjoyed a wonderful turkey dinner together with all the trimmings. (I love this part of the evening since it is a lot of fun trying new dishes and enjoying each others.)

Santa made an appearance too!

Notice even our dog, Chewie was in the spirit!

After we retreated to the classroom and enjoyed some stamping together. And for those that were unable to attend On Stage in Tampa with me, I wanted to create a little mini On Stage event for them.

And of course that box is filled with our NEW products! So everyone had a chance to see the NEW accessories and Designer Series Papers and stamp with some of the new products from the upcoming 2016 Occasions and Sale-a-bration Catalogs!

And what party would be complete without gifts? Everyone was greeted with this a couple of little goodies when they got to their seats. One had to be chocolate, right?

I love these little boxes that I created using the Home for Christmas Designer Series Paper (139592) and the Bow Builder Punch (137414). I think they turned out really cute.

And what do they contain? Well…….

A Bone Folder for everyone that has been decorated with a charm. I made each Bone Folder Charm with our Winter Wonderland Embellishments (139621) along with different beading so we can tell them apart when we stamp together. LOL! (Of course, they have some blue since we’re the Blue Mountain Stampers.) I made these to coordinate with their scissor charms that they received earlier this year. (Want to see the scissor charms? You can click HERE)

The Clothespin Santa Hat is sooooo easy to make!

Want to learn how to make these quick and easy treats? Well all you need is a few supplies. (You may even have these. If not let me know and I can help you out.)

Tree Punch (135859)
Word Window Punch (119857)
1/2″ Circle Punch (119869)
Clothespins (133764)
Red Glimmer Paper (121790)
Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper (135315)
Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive (110755) This stuff works great on Glimmer paper!!!

Here’s how:

Punch out a Tree using the Red Glimmer Paper and clip off the trunk. Using the Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper punch out a circle and Word Window. Attach to the tree piece. After it dries attach the hat to the Clothespin.

That’s it – quick and easy!!! But I warn you, these are so cute you’ll want to make lots of these! LOL
