Bon Voyage Post It Note Holders

Posted on May 20, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

As promised in yesterday post I’ll be sharing how I made these cute little Bon Voyage Post It Note Holders with you today. A friend of mine showed me how to make these little holders during one of our demonstrator events. I thought they were just too cute so I was excited when I ran across them and decided to use them as my little gift to everyone who attended. After all who doesn’t need Post It Notes right?

I think these little Bon Voyage Post It Note Holders are sooo cute that not only am I using them for the Retirement Party but also as little gifts to my daughters friends who will be attending her graduation party – I thought the little piece of luggage was in keeping with them heading off to college too since they’ll be heading off to a new adventure in life.

I created these little Bon Voyage Post It Note Holders using some of our current retiring products. I chose Lucky Limeade card stock (item 122926) and my favorite Designer Series Paper, Floral District (item 126919). I love the colors in this Designer Series Paper; it’s just so bright and cheerful. Did you see the little tags? I used the Fabulous Phrases Stamp Set (item 117002/120501) and chose the words enjoy and life to stamp the two little tags with. I’m really like this stamp set, it gives you such great choices to create all kind of phrases.

Lovely Letters Alphabet

Posted on May 16, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

This is one of my favorite stamp sets and I’m really going to miss it when it is gone. Lovely Letters Alphabet (item 115030/127796) is so versitle and we just don’t have anything else that comes close to a monogram set.

Here are a some great gift projects I’ve made with this set.

Say goodbye to the Two Tags Die

Posted on May 15, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

I hated to see the Two Tags Die (item 115954) on the Retirement List (click HERE for the Retiring Accessories list). I’ve shed some tears over this one – It is absolutely one of my favorite dies and is a lot of fun to use too.

Here is a great card I got in a swap at Leadership using our Parker’s Pattern Designer Series Paper (item 131021) and the Two Tags Die. Isn’t it lovely?

And here are the great little bookmarks I made earlier this spring using the Spring Sampler Stamp Set (item 125510/125512). Click here to see my earlier post with more details on these little guys.

And a cute little topper for hand sanitizers using the retiring Tags til Christmas Stamp Set (item 120847/121169).

And finally these cute little post it note holders that I made for my Regional Swap in Chattanooga last fall. This little post it note holder also uses one of my favorite fall stamp sets, Day of Gratitude (item 120835/121148)

Luau Punch Art

Posted on May 10, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

Yesterday I shared with you the first party invitations I created for my daughter’s luau themed graduation. Today I’ll share with you the final item I created for her to choose from my luau punch art card.

This card is actually 5″ x 7″ since I couldn’t get it down to the traditional 4 ¼” x 5 ½” like the others from yesterday. But since it was just the front and not a full card I was ok with that too. The My Digital Studio graduation announcements I made with the Embark Graduate Ensemble (click HERE) were post cards that were 5″ x 7″ also.

Want to know which of the four cards I made for her she chose? Drum roll please…… She narrowed it down for me the two cards based on what she liked

Then asked me which one was harder. She is so sweet. In the end we both decided that the punch art card was just too stinking cute! So we went with it. I know called me crazy, right? But this is my baby and the last one to graduate from high school for us. So why not do it up big….and I knew I had a stamping pal who would be game to help me out.

What does mass assembly luau punch art cards look like? Here are a couple of shots of Cindy and me working on parts of the cards – at least the first 40, LOL. We had a great time visiting and punching together!

My daughter later added another 30 for her friends she’d forgot to put on my list. I didn’t get to take a shot of them all together since I’d already mailed the first group but by then it was quick and easy and I had a lot of fun so I found it a great break and creating them rather relaxing. I know crazy – but they are sooo cute!

Posted on April 19, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

Wow, its Friday already – the week has really flown by. Today I’m going to share with you a new video showing you my Oh, Hello Pop ‘n CutsTreat Box that I recently did with the Blue Mountain Stampers during our monthly TEAM meeting.

I love the way this little Pop ‘n Cuts Treat Box turned out. It is a quick and easy project since you start with our Card Base Pop ‘n Cuts Die (item 130099). And the little box is really good sized so you can get a lot of great chocolate or other goodies into it. Hmm…I’m thinking it may be a great Treat Box for my daughter’s upcoming graduation party. I’ll have to get back to you on that one.

So without further ado…. here is my latest video – Pop ‘n Cuts Treat Box

Polka Dot Parade Birds

Posted on April 8, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

Do you love birds? Do you enjoy watching them? I love it in spring when all of the different birds come to my feeder on their trip north. I especially love to see the flocks of robins looking for worms as they come through. I’m not sure why but I don’t see a lot of them during the year in North Georgia. So their migrating for me they always signal spring has arrived.

Want to make some of your own little Polka Dot Parade of birds that can hang around? Well why not make these cute little Bird Builder Punch clothes pins?

They are so simple to make. Just cover the clothes pin, decorate and add a magnet to the back. Voila! You’ve got a cute way to hang notes on your frig or anywhere else you need a reminder.

My friend Cindy gave me this cute little set for my birthday last month. They came in this adorable bag made out of our Polka Dot Parade Designer Series Paper. How cute is that!

Supplies:

Paper: Polka Dot Parade Designer Series Paper (item 126902), Marina Mist, Real Red and Daffodil Delight card stock

Accessories: Bird Builder Punch (item 117191)

Dress Form Pop ’n Cuts Birthday

Posted on April 5, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

Recently I needed a birthday card for a friend and since I was having so much fun playing with the Pop ‘n Cuts Dress Form Die I thought I would make one for her using it.

I really have enjoyed playing with this group of coordinating products. I wasn’t really sure about them in the beginning but have quickly become addicted to “playing dress up” with them. There are so many fun things to do with the Pop ‘n Cuts Dies and Framelits. And of course Stampin’ Up! makes the deal even sweeter since there is the All Dressed Up Bundle (item 131096/131095) that you can buy and save 15% – Add that to the FREE SHIPPING OFFER this weekend and who can resist?

Wonder what was in the little bag I made for her? I wanted to pamper her a bit and knew she would enjoy something homemade so I made some of my yummy foot scrub. You can click HERE to get the recipe for it.

Here are close ups of the card itself-

and the outside –

I hope my friend enjoyed her card because I enjoyed making it for her and I know she’ll enjoy her foot scrub. If you missed my earlier post sharing my original design of this card, you can click HERE. Included in this post was a video showing you how to make these fun and flirty Paper Doily skirts.

I hope you’ll have fun playing dress up with your paper dolls too!

Isn’t this Pop ‘n Cuts Gift Card Holder cute? I love these little pinwheels and so I wanted to use them with the coordinating sentiment stamp set Wishes Your Way. I thought that the little greeting included in this set would be great for a graduate.

And since I’m currently gearing up for my daughters high school graduation I’ve been focusing on ideas for graduation gifts and cards. Gift card holders are always something I need. How about you? And the Card Base Pop ‘n Cuts Die makes this gift card holder not only cute, but easy too.

Spring Sampler Bookmarks

Posted on April 3, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

I love to make things to give and this week I want to try making some quick bookmarks for spring. The Spring Sampler stamp set (item 125510/125512) from the Spring Catalog is one of my favorites and since it has such a great variety of images I started there. And of course my Big Shot dies make things quick when I want to do a large number of items so I pulled out my trusty Two Tags Die – love it right!?!

Here is what I came up with – I think my Spring Sampler Bookmarks will be a hit when I hand them out.

Once I got started I was having so much fun with the images from the Spring Sampler set I didn’t want to stop – lol
