The Final Thank You Thursday!

Posted on October 31, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

I’ve got some fun last minute Halloween projects that I made and want to share with you today. This first one is a home décor item that I made using our Witches’ Brew Designer Washi Tape.

Don’t you love these fake pumpkins that have available the last few years? I’ve done all kinds of things with them, including having the kids carve a pumpkin that will last forever. For this project I simply cut off the top, added the Witches’ Brew Designer Washi Tape (132156) in a pattern that made me happy, placed a piece of green foam for flowers and added the mums and leaves. Quick and easy-peasy.

This second project includes some real pumpkins that Larry brought home to sit on my kitchen counter for a pop of fall color.

Sorry about the photos – it’s another rainy day here in North Georgia which can make taking pictures tricky.

I love making little treats for family and friends

so here is a great little project that holds a pack of gum.

Halloween Candy Bar Slider – surprise!

And last but not least I wanted to share a picture that my daughter sent me when she found her little Halloween Candy Bar Slider tucked into her dresser drawer at college – the timing was perfect since they had just had a dorm Halloween event where she dressed up as I Dream of Jeannie and passed out candy. (Seriously – thus the weird eye make up.) She’s such a hoot!

Pumpkin Pie Goodie Gear Simply Created Kits

Posted on October 21, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

They’re not just for Halloween! Our Goodie Gear Simply Created Kits are a great bargain – you’ll get all kinds of goodies in this kit. Not only will you be able to make 10 quick and easy goodie bags, but you’ll have plenty of goodies left over to use in other ways too! I was pleasantly surprised by just how much you get in this kit when I opened it!

Here is a picture of my first goodie bag, basically following the suggested idea from the Holiday Catalog (on page 32) – and using only what was included in the kit. Quick and easy to do.

I used Bermuda Bay Classic Ink to stamp the sentiment using the coordinating stamp set Oh, Goodie (131886/131889) onto the precut banners included. Used the Pumpkin Pie stickers to make a “v” across the tag, and attached the sentiment. Filled the bag with some yummy candy corn M&Ms and finally I used the Bermuda Bay Baker’s Twine to tie a bow. How much easier can that get right?

And here is my “stepped” up version

For this one I used some fall peanut butter M&Ms to jump start my color pallet. I still followed the same basic design, but I added a little texture to the tag using my Chevron Embossing Folder. Added a strip of Cajun Craze card stock beneath the Pumpkin Pie sticker and snipped the ends to create the same shape as the banner. I stamped the sentiment in Cajun Craze Classic Ink. Don’t you love that everything is pre cut for you in this kit? Added one of our pre cut leaves from the Thankful Tablescape Simply Create Kit (133463) and finished it off with our yummy Summer Starfruit 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon (126846) to add a little sophistication.

Which one do you like the best? Both were a hit in my house. And yes, believe it or not I made it past my husband and son with the chocolate – LOL. Good thing I almost got the goodie bags done before they found me!

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Oh, Goodie! (131886/131889)

Inks: Bermuda Bay (131171) and Cajun Craze Classic Pads (126965)

Paper: Cajun Craze card Stock (119684)

Accessories: Pumpkin Pie Goodie Gear Simply Created Kit (132792), Thankful Tablescape Simply Created Kit (133463), Summer Starfruit 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon (126846), and Chevron Embossing Folder (127749)

Photo Clothes Line

Posted on September 20, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

Here is my final project that I created for my daughter’s dorm room, a Photo Clothes Line using Dyed Clothes Pins – I wanted to have a way for her to hang pictures of friends and family easily. Especially since nothing seems to be sticking to her dorm walls I was able to hang this project up easily with push pins.

First I created three different photo clothes lines for her to hang photos and such from using these cute little Floral Frames Framelits. (Framelits aren’t really designed to cut anything other than paper, but I decided to take the risk and give it a try and it worked).

Then for a touch of the whimsical I added butterflies using the Beautiful Butterflies Bigz Die. I simply used my Crop-a-Dile to punch some holes and added some silver wire that I could bend and shape the way I wanted across her wall. It wasn’t the floral wire that I have used in the past, but since I couldn’t find any last minute on the way to Milledgeville, I figured this would have to do in a pinch. I’m not really happy with the wire so I’ll replace it the next time I visit with the floral wire I found afterwards.

Here is a closer photo of part of the photo clothes line hopefully you can see the butterflies better. The room is really narrow so it was tough to get a shot straight on of the entire thing.

Finally I used the Dyed Clothes Pins I made to hang the photos that I attached to my coordinating photo mats. Kaitlin seems to be happy with the look and final splash of color to her room.

And of course Dad wanted to make sure his baby girl had a picture or two of him – lol. So here is one of them he chose from this spring in her graduation dress on with Larry’s other baby, his 1969 Cutlass. (Poor guy, he’s not missing her at all, ya right – he keeps asking me if she has called. I know he is counting down till fall break!)

Does this dress look familiar? It should, it is just like the one on the cover of our catalog – just in Calypso Coral. Something Kaitlin rolled her eyes at when I pointed it out to her.

Want to learn how I created the matching color clothes pins? Why not check out my latest video, Dying Clothes Pins.

And if you haven’t already why not sign up for my FREE Newsletter where I’ll be sending you helpful tips and hints, and videos along with my information monthly.

This last photo is of her seating area and the finished French memo boards I showed you in an earlier post. She now has lots of different places to tuck her mementos and items she wants to save.

Kaitlin seemed very pleased when she got back to her dorm room and found I had spent some time cleaning, organizing and hanging up things while she was at class. I know she is really spoiled, right? But between her finishing up the season with Drum Corp, her heavy class load, and chest pain I felt I could spoil her a little. Even her suite mate thought that it was pretty cool of her mom to do that for her (Whew right, didn’t want to embarrass the kid!)

Supplies:

Paper: Regals Designer Series Paper Stack (130139), Polka Dot Parade Designer Series Paper (126902), Island Indigo Card Stock (122923), and Rich Razzleberry Card Stock (115316)

Modern Medley Dry Erase Calendar

Posted on September 16, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

Last Friday I told you I would show you another project that I made for Kaitlin’s dorm room message center – well here is the Modern Medley Dry Erase Calendar along with the magnetic board to complete her college message center.

I really like the way this turned out. I used My Digital Studio to create the calendar you see. I just love the way that you are able to use a built in template and easily customize it the way you want. I even used the matching digital version of our Rich Razzleberry Designer Series Paper for the blocks on the calendar. I just changed the opacity so it gave her a hint of the color, and added special things to the days that she already knew about to save her time.

Kaitlin can easily change out the calendar each month by opening the flap on the back of the frame and inserting the new month – quick and easy for her versus the original dry erase board she wanted at the local big box store that she would have to write everything in on herself. With her busy schedule she needs easy and since it coordinated with her other items – she loved it!

Here is a view of her dorm room wall with her message center completed above her desk. The paint on the wall was giving (our approved for use) command hooks fits and nothing would stick, so we got creative with some matching Rich Razzleberry ¼” Stiched Grosgrain Ribbon (item 126876) and thumb tacks to hang them with.

Later this week, I’ll show you the final project that I did for her room along with a video too – so watch for that. Mean while you can click HERE, HERE and HERE to see the other projects I made for her dorm room.

Supplies:

Paper: Modern Medley Designer Series Paper (126926), Regals Designer Series Paper Stack (130139), Island Indigo Card Stock (122923), Basic Black Card Stock (121045), and Rich Razzleberry Card Stock (115316)

Accessories: My Digital Studio (130647/130646), Basic Black 1/8″ Taffeta Ribbon (119261) and Typeset Alphabet Bigz Die (127553), 11 x 14 frame from my local big box store

On a personal note – I want to thank everyone who sent their prayers, thoughts, and get well wishes to my husband who had an ATV accident on the way to the barn Friday night. It was something he does all the time, but for some reason this time the quick chore didn’t end well. Larry ended up being thrown from the ATV, bending like a pretzel, and hitting his head. Thankfully after a quite a few tests and a full check up in the ER he was sent home with a mild concussion. He is a bit bruised and sore but otherwise doing well so far. We feel blessed since he was extremely lucky and it wasn’t worse.

Here is a picture of the fort he tangled with – I think he is planning to walk to the barn for a while.

Modern Medley Colored Cork Board

Posted on September 13, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

Great news – my videos are back. After a break due to camera problems I think I’ve finally got it figured out. So here is my latest project that I’ve been wanting to share with you.

I created this Colored Cork Board as part of my daughter’s message center for above her dorm room desk. When I started this project I figured I’d just use the cork board as it was but then I really wasn’t happy with the look – so after a little experimenting I came up with this technique for Adding Color to Cork Boards. It’s a lot of fun – so why not check it?

I finished up my Modern Medley Cork Board by decorating it and then added some push pins to hang things with. I made these push pins using some of our Modern Medley Designer Series Paper that I added to our little Bottle Caps (from the Spring Catalog) that I had laying around my studio. Then I just topped the Designer Series Paper with a little of our Crystal Effects allowed them to dry and Voila’ – A cork board that I’m my daughter is tickled with.

Here is a close up of the focal point.

Do you like it? Why not leave me a comment and let me know what you think of my latest video and camera. I’m happy with it and still have some learning to do, but I think it has a little better sound quality. How about you?

If you like this project – Why not sign up for my monthly Newsletter where you’ll get tips and projects monthly delivered directly to your inbox along with my class event schedule.

French Bulletin Board

Posted on August 27, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

Here is my latest project that I’ve been working on for my daughter’s dorm room now that we know the space that we are working with. I thought this Musical French Bulletin Board would be great for her to tuck things into quickly and it was a lot of fun to make.

The fabric is some that I had laying around the house from a project I didn’t get around to. I’ve got quite a few of those (but don’t tell my hubby that is what all those boxes are in my office Oh, wait he has his own stack- lol).

Anyhow, once I got the Tempting Turquoise Ribbon on the board I thought it needed something more – so I decided on some Rich Razzleberry Buttons that I had in the drawer.

I just love the way that I can use my Stampin’ Up! products in other ways – they aren’t just for card making! And I think Kaitlin will be happy when she sees all three of the boards that I made together. They are sure to give her dorm room a nice pop of color on the wall above the futon.

Modern Medley Dry Erase Board

Posted on August 19, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

Today I thought I would show you a dry erase board project that I made for my daughter’s dorm door using the Modern Medley Designer Series Paper. I thought this would be a fun way for her friends to leave her notes when they needed to and she was out.

Kaitlin is a music major and so I wanted to not only tie in her interest but also her dorm room color scheme. So to create this dry erase board I used our Modern Medley Designer Series Paper along with our great Regals Color Collections Designer Series Paper Stacks. Added some of our great letters from the Typeset Alphabet Die and voila’!

We got to meet up with Kaitlin this weekend for her Drum Core performance at the Southern Showdown. A few of her old high school friends went along with us, so before I packed the dry erase board into her box, I had them leave some messages on it for her – It worked great and I thought that the messages from her friends would be a nice surprise when she opened the box.

A few of her friends also helped me pick out the final element that you see at the bottom– a greeting from one of our retired stamp sets, Music Speaks. I just loved the sentiment “Music speaks the beauty words cannot express!” Originally I had wanted to put “notes” on the Decorative Label Punch. Get it? Music Major – notes?

I made several different versions of the Decorative Labels that she can swap out since I couldn’t decide which one I liked best. (I just tucked them in the back after adding a little of our Multipurpose Liquid Glue (item 110755) and allowing it to dry so that it was like a post it note.

It was great seeing her for a couple of hours and Larry and I were really proud of her. CV not only placed first in this competition, but in the Southern Region and broke their own record for highest score. A big deal if your familiar with marching.

Supplies:

Paper: Modern Medley Designer Series Paper (item 126926), Regals Collection Designer Series Paper Stack (item 130139), Rich Razzleberry, Island Indigo and Basic Black

Accessories: Decorative Label Punch (item 120907), Stampin’ Write Markers, Typeset Alphabet Dies (item 127553) and Basic Black 1/8″ Taffeta Ribbon (item 119261)
