Today is the beginning of my Blue Mountain Winter Weekend Retreat and I’m looking forward to getting together with my team for a full weekend of crafting. What could be better, right?

So today I thought I’d share some of my team members swaps from the January Team Meeting. I can’t wait to see what they’ve been up to in the last couple of weeks!

And at our January Meeting we had a lot of fun working with the new Stamparatus too! (I’m so lucky to have received one of the first Stamparatus tools since I’m part of the Leader to Leader program who helped design this.)

I’m looking forward to sharing it with you in my January Card Class so you can see and use it too!

I’m working on some videos for you and hope to be posting them soon.

So stop by next week and see what we’ve been up to. Better go – lots to do before the fun starts this afternoon. LOL!

Beautiful Heartfelt Blooms

Posted on January 11, 2018 by Stamp with Jini

When I first saw this stamp set at OnStage in Salt Lake I knew it would be a have to have for me, and so I thought everyone would love to make a card using the set for my Occasions Kick Off. The image is just breath taking and so realistic. Stampin’ Up! currently has a patent pending on these these type of stamps. They are photographic realistic and have tons of depth – they are called Distinktive stamps.

Beautiful, right? I love the Powder Pink and Berry Burst colors that were used, just perfect!

Believe it or not all you have to do is ink up this stamp – it does all the work for you. The stamp lays down different opacities of ink giving a deep rich image.

Want to make your own? As promised here is the tutorial for you today.

Flying Home

Posted on January 10, 2018 by Stamp with Jini

The Flying Home is a image set that is filled with sweet little images perfect for all kinds of occasions.

and while it doesn’t have any sentiments included in the set, this makes it perfect for pairing up with the sentiments of your choice.

Today I’m sharing with you one of the cards we made during my Occasions Catalog Kick Off. It’s a total case since I loved it just the way it was. There is a bit of fussy cutting for the nest and butterfly, but that’s well worth it I think.

And as mentioned I’m including a Tutorial for the card so you can make one too! I just love how easy our Stampin’ Blends make coloring this card!

One Big Meaning

Posted on January 2, 2018 by Stamp with Jini

If you send a lot of Thank You cards then the One Big Meaning stamp set (18788/139420) might be a great choice for you since it is filled with a wonderful selection of fonts and sizes. I find myself reaching for it all the time and at this time of year I’ve always got thank you that need to be sent.

This first card not only uses the One Big Meaning sentiment but also the Falling Flowers stamp set (139553/139556).

And do you recognized the Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper peeking out behind the flower – awesome right? And good news you can still get this paper until the end of the day today since the Holiday Catalog items on the Retirement List can be ordered while supplies last until 11:50 p.m. (MT) tonight!

And here is another wonderful card using the set and the Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper (144137) is peeking out from behind the vellum card stock (101856).

Check out the lovely Powder Pink 3/8″ Shimmer Ribbon – if you haven’t seen our shimmer ribbon in person it is just lovely.

And here are a couple more Thank You cards I wanted to share with you. This first one uses the Daisy Delight Bundle (143669) and the same Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper.

And this last one uses the Fabulous Flamingo stamp set (143758). and the Petal Burst Embossing Folder (144193).

This Little Piggy….

Posted on December 29, 2017 by Stamp with Jini

I guess I’m feeling a little bit country this week since yesterday’s cards had roosters and today’s cards have pigs LOL! but this set is just too cute – it was one of my first choices this year when the catalog launched. And rightfully so since it makes such a great variety of cards.

Check out these cards made with the This Little Piggy stamp set (143919/143922).

And here are a couple of cards that are a little bit different

I love the way the Pocketful of Sunshine stamp set (143719) was combined with the This Little Piggy set.

Wood Words

Posted on December 28, 2017 by Stamp with Jini

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and you’re enjoying the holiday season. I’m I’m going to be taking a break the next couple weeks to enjoy some time with my family while our daughter is home.

The good news is I’ve set up some posts for you while I’m enjoying the family time – so while I will have limited access to my blog (Dell will have my computer again) – you’ll get to see some great cards that I’ve received in swap. Then I get my computer back I’ll be able to share with you again.

While I love the little wood create dies that are part of the Wood Words Bundle today’s cards all use the Wood Words stamp set to create cards.

More Birthday Fun

Posted on December 27, 2017 by Stamp with Jini

Today’s cards all use the Happy Birthday Thinlits Dies (143700) – I just love this single die for quick birthday cards!

Love some bling? This first card was made with our Silver Glimmer Paper (135314), Marbled Background stamp (143755/144772) and Garden Trellis Embossing Folder (143741).

And this one is teamed up with our Whisper White Note cards (131527), Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamps set (143662) and Pick a Pattern Designer Series Paper (144163).

And while this card uses the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set too – it has a totally different feel

And how about this classic black & white using the poodle from the Birthday Delivery stamps set (143660)?

A great masculine card when teamed up with the Dapper Denim and You’ve Got This stamp set (139572/139575) to create a textured background.

This die is a lot of fun to use and when you use the Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets (144106) it’s quick & easy too!

Season Like Christmas

Posted on December 20, 2017 by Stamp with Jini

This tree was calling me when I saw it – after all there is nothing like a evergreen this time of year. And I have some wonderful memories of planting hundreds of blue spruce saplings with my father as a small child on our piece of property in Wisconsin. I was a very proud 3 year old helping him! He’d drop the tree in the hold, pour the water and put the dirt back and it was my job to stomp that dirt down tightly. He was putting them in so we could have a tree farm, unfortunately that never came to pass. The last time I saw my childhood home there is a woods where that once empty field – and seemed the trees touched the sky!

So this card was inspired by that time with my father and I really like the way it turned out.

What do you think? Want to know how I created the soft forest of trees for the front of this card?

I took a couple of pictures for you to show you how I did it. I used a simple masking technique for this project.

Take some large post it notes and create a frame on the card front. I used my grid paper to make sure the lines were straight. I simply laid my card stock down on the grid paper, used a ruler at the measurement I wanted and then stuck the sticky note down. The grid lines make lining things up easy and keeps everything straight for you – LOVE my grid paper!

2. I used my Stampin’ Sponge and Soft Sky Classic Ink to lightly sponged the area inside the sticky notes on the card front.

3. Next I stamped the tree image using the Soft Sky Classic Ink. To create the softer trees in the background I didn’t reink in between, but instead stamped multiple times before reinking.

4. I then removed my sticky notes and stamped the tree in Wild Wasabi and Garden Green Classic Ink.

5. Added the trunk and the sentiment and then put it onto the card front.

Voila! A wintry woods.

Here is a printable tutorial for you!

Last Minute Stocking Stuffers

Posted on December 19, 2017 by Stamp with Jini

I have been limited with my shopping radius lately – so the Dollar Tree has been a favorite spot to stop and I’ve found sound fun items such as the lemon candy canes and these mints.

The tin is Cherry Cobbler so it was perfect to make these little treats that were inspired by the chap stick holders I shared with you HERE.

Here’s what I came up with

I simply cut the Be Merry Designer Series Paper 3″ x 7″ added a bit of Fast Fuse to each end and wrapped it around the tin. I stamped the sentiment in Garden Green Classic Ink and cut it out using the Stitched Oval Framelits Die. Then I layered the sentiment using a couple of Stampin’ Dimensionals onto a Cherry Cobbler Scallop Circle and adhered it to the center of the wrap. Finally I grabbed my Garden Green 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon, wrapped it around the tin and tied a bow. I just LOVE the way this ribbon ties!

Voila! finished in under 5 minutes too!!!

While I used these little treats the tin is about the same as an Altoids tin – I just loved the color of the tin. LOL!

And how about some more cards? These stamp sets can all be found in our Annual Catalog
