Bright Borders

Posted on January 16, 2025 by Stamp with Jini

Today’s cards both use the Bright Borders stamp set (164753) that you can find on page 58 of the January – April Mini Catalog.

This stamp set is an all occasions set that includes some wonderful sentiments and images. It also coordinates with the NEW To the Point Label Punch (164568) making it a great choice for beginning stampers or quick project making. I loved sets like this when I first started stamping since it took the stress of lining up an image perfectly on my stamped panel. With a punch it’s easy, stamp on a scrap piece, line up the image inside the punch and cut! Who doesn’t love that?

This first card is done in our Soft Sea Foam and Petal Pink giving it a softer feel perfect for spring.

The Soft Waves 3D Embossing Folder (164695) gives some interest to the background and the lovely Petal Pink 3/8″ Scalloped Ribbon (164680) adds more texture with it’s fine details and scalloped edge. For a little bolder look how about this next card done in Flirty Flamingo and Pecan Pie?

Simple stamping was used to create the card front and a panel from our Brights Designer Series Paper Assortment (163775). A bit of white from our Basics Wow! Embossing Powder (165679) steps it up and adds a bit of shine to the sentiment panel. The white ribbon from the Petal Pink & White 1/4″ Diagonal Trim Combo Pack (163417) and the Party Dots (164602) add some texture.

So what do you think? This is a great set to use with all kinds of products that you may already have on hand.

Umbrella Days

Posted on January 15, 2025 by Stamp with Jini

We all need to send cards for comfort and to let someone know we are thinking of them and the Online Exclusive Umbrella Days Bundle (164895) is a nice set for these kinds of cards.

Today’s card uses this bundle to create a sweet little card lending support.

The card also uses a panel of Take to the Sky Designer Series Paper (163436) for a back drop for this rainy day. While a bit of Clear Embossing Powder from our Basics Wow! Embossing Powder (165679) pack is used for the rain drops. In addition a simple straight line of scoring is used around the four outer edges to create a bit more interest.

I simple love the simplicity of this card to convey a special message of support to a friend. What do you think?

has those cute little animals that you can create with and is fun to color since they are simple line art images. Check out these fun cards made with the reindeer for this holiday season. This first card uses the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder (162026) to add texture to the background.

A bit of the Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper (164183) has been used for the snow filled sky. The torn edge mimics the feel of a snow covered ground and our Stampin’ Blends give a nice bold pop of color to the images. Our very popular Red & White Adhesive Backed Peppermints (164050) will be back, great news as they are so cute!

This final card for the day uses the same bundle but it has such a different feel to it, simply by changing colors and using the bold pattern from the Regal Winter Designer Series Paper (Last Chance 164156) with its rich jewel tones.

Embraced with Love

Posted on December 4, 2024 by Stamp with Jini

The holidays are upon us and that means gathering and traveling, unfortunately the end results can mean being under the weather. And who doesn’t like a little pick me up knowing someone is thinking of them when you don’t feel good?

The Embraced with Love Stamp Set (Last Chance 164246) gives you get well options and more. And these little animals are adorable too. Check out this lovely card using a quick and easy stripping technique for the background.

While the image was colored with our Stampin’ Blends and cut out using our Stylish Shapes Dies (159183) the background technique adds bold color and pulls out the colors Peach Pie, Azure Afternoon, and Cajun Craze that were used for the bear and blanket.

How was the background made? Everyone has those 1/2 inch strips laying around, right? simply draw a line across the card front at an angle starting at the top left down to the bottom right. Add your first strip along this line for a starting point then add the next strip and so on until top section is filled. Trim ends to line up with the card front. Next, line up the ends of the strips along this line for the bottom section, adhere and trim with the edge of the card front. Yep, that simple! and what an impact.

A few of our Earth Tones Shimmer Gems (164070) add a bit of texture and shine to the card.

Shepherd’s Care

Posted on November 25, 2024 by Stamp with Jini

The Shepherd’s Care stamp set (164300) is a beautiful stamp set that has some wonderful sentiments included.

It’s easy to use for simple monochromatic cards since it has built in shading or adding color. Take a look at this first card that is stamped in Crumb Cake Classic Ink and uses just a bit of Lost Lagoon to add color to the shepherd.

Or this next card that chooses to add color to the full image.

The star and sky has been stamped using our White Craft Ink (147277) and uses a few Basic Rhinestones Jewels (144220) to add some shine along with our Brushed Gold & Silver Specialty Paper (Online Exclusive 164861) is used as a mat behind the shepherd.

And now how about some fun folds? These next two cards use the sentiment as the focal point on the card front. This first card uses our Season of Green & Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper (Online Exclusive 164324) and Stylish Shapes Dies (159183) to create this fun window.

open the card and you have a second fold and the bit of Designer Series Paper you used from the front square you cut.

And for the final card today the sentiment has been layered on our Gold Mercury Vellum Specialty Designer Series Paper (Online Exclusive 164142) a piece of Basic White gives contrast to the Pretty Peacock card base.

A bit of our Pretty Peacock & Gold 3/8″ Metallic Ribbon (162588) has been used for the bow and a few Petal Pink & Pretty Peacock Foiled Gems (162587) ties it all together. Open the card for a lovely surprise scene.

Simple stamping has been used along with some fussy cutting for the shepherd. And a simple slit and scoring creates the pop out to hold the image. The star shines with another bit of gold found in our accessory, Blooming Pearls (162238).

Wow, right? This set is a classic that you’ll be reaching for over and over again in your holiday project.

On a personal note I have family here for Thanksgiving week and won’t be sharing the rest of the week, but will be back next week. I hope everyone will enjoy their Thanksgiving.
