So Many Shells Tutorial

Posted on June 14, 2017 by Stamp with Jini

Today’s card is one that I made for my team Shoe box Swap this past Saturday. The So Many Shells was a stamp set I couldn’t pass up with it’s wonderful shell images. You know me I can never resist a set that is beach themed!

The sentiments in the set also cover a wide variety of needs which is always a bonus. Isn’t the font lovely?

So here is the card I created.

I stamped the Marbled Background onto Vellum to give it more of a translucent water feel to it. And I love the Copper Trim! Tug and pull and it turns into what looks like a net! Perfect for this project.

I hope you’ll enjoy making this card too. Here is my FREE Tutorial for the card.

Shoe box fun at the Blue Mountain Stampers’ Weekend Retreat

Posted on June 13, 2017 by Stamp with Jini

This past weekend was my 5th Annual Weekend Retreat – (wow it’s so hard to believe we’ve been doing this that long already!) This event is held each June so that we can gather and have fun playing with our new catalog goodies. It’s a laid back, full of stamping and laughter – just a great weekend of sharing and fellowship. I feel really blessed to have such a wonderful team.

There were a total of 8 of us this time and we had a lot of fun with a project Cindy has been wanting to try – Shrinky Dinks!

Several of the group had never played with Shrinky Dinks before, so you know what that means! Who doesn’t love watching them watch them curl up and shrink?

We also did a shoe box swap on Saturday, so I thought I would share the cards everyone made for it.

This first card is made with Pocket Full of Sunshine (143719) and the Pocket Framelits Dies (143750) that you can get in a bundle allowing you to save 10% (145345). I think it is a very fun set, perfect for those younger folks in our life.

And this next card uses the Daisy Delight stamp set (143669), Daisy Punch (143713) and the Wood Words stamp set (143925/143928). Can you guess where the scallop comes from?

It’s the Seasonal Layers Framelits Dies (143751).

The Oh So Eclectic Stamp Set (143937/143940) was used to create this lovely Powder Pink card.

And how about this great card made with the Daisy Delight Bundle (145361) and the sentiment from Swan Lake (142974/142977).

And the final card today, is a wonderful Masculine card made in rich bold colors using the Happy Birthday Thinlits Dies (143700). You are going to love the NEW 5/8″ Crinkled Seam Binding (144189) and

Pinewood Planks 3d Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (143708) since it creates a wonderfully deep, dimensional images!!!

Stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing my shoe box and a FREE tutorial so you can make one too.

Super Duper Team Time

Posted on June 12, 2017 by Stamp with Jini

I love getting together with my team – we have a great time together sharing, laughing and stamping. What could be better right? So today I thought I would share some of the wonderful swaps that have been shared form the last couple of meetings. (Yes, I know I’m behind. lol)

This first card Cindy gave me and it uses the Super Duper stamp set (142871/142874).

And how about this soft card using the Weather Together stamp set (141543) and Umbrella Weather Framelits Dies (141479)?

Thoughts and Prayers (128751/127805) is a great set for those hard to make cards

Stamp, some simple sponging and you have a wonderful card to share.

Deborah chose the Daisy Delight stamp set (143669) and coordinating Daisy Punch (143713) to go with the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set (143662).

Can you see the Clear Faceted Gem (144142)? Deborah used a sharpie to color it – so clever!

And here is card made with the Eastern Beauty stamp set (143675) and coordinating dies, Eastern Medallions (143725) that are available in a money saving bundle (145308).

I just love the fact you can make soooo many shapes with these Thinlits dies!

And check out this cute little treat for the 4th – I just love little gifts like this!

So what do you think? Look like fun? Would you love to be part of a group that LOVES to craft? Now is a great time to join us with the launch of 2017 Annual Catalog! And as I am sure you can guess the fact that you’ll receive a discount on all these products when you join makes it a great deal!

Birthday Blast & More

Posted on May 25, 2017 by Stamp with Jini

Today I’ll be sharing with you the projects and Make ‘n Takes that I made for my FREE Sale-a-bration Celebration Event that was held earlier this month for those who qualified during Sale-a-bration. I had a lot of fun pampering everyone – after all I couldn’t do this without each and everyone of you!

Here is my classroom all set up and ready to go.

Everyone had a spot with their treats and projects ready for them.

I made these cute little name tags using the Cool Treats stamp set (142982) so they could find their spot.

And everyone received these cute little post it note easel holders using the retiring Papillon Potpourri stamp set (132058/123759), Bitty Butterfly Punch (129406), Elegant Butterfly Punch (127526) and the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits Dies (141497).

I had a lot of fun making these post it note easel holders. (I’ll miss this stamp set with it’s coordinating punches it has been one of my go to sets. So many uses!) I found these sticky notes for them once again at Target – don’t you love their dollar spot? If you missed it and would like to learn how to make these holders I have a quick Video Tutorial HERE.

I also made these little chocolate holders using the retiring Festive Birthday Designer Series Paper (141630).

It was sooo easy to whip up a batch of these. And after all who doesn’t enjoy a little chocolate?

I simply cut the Designer Series Paper into 3″ x 6″ strips, added a bit of Snail across the top and then folded them in half. Stamp my sentiment from the Endless Birthday Wishes stamp set (140273) and used the Triple Banner Punch to create the flag. Then I tied some Baker’s Twine in different colors around the top and slipped in a Ghiradelli Chocolate. Yep! That quick and easy!!!

And what did we make? 6 cards! This first card got my daughter’s seal of approval so I had to include it. LOL! It uses the Birthday Blast stamp set (142854/142866).

This second card uses the retiring Playful Palette Designer Series Paper (141657) and the Grateful Bunch stamp set (140691) along with it coordinating Blossom Punch (140612).

And this final card uses the retiring Party Animal Designer Series Paper (142823) and Balloon Adventures stamp set (142823) from the Occasions Catalog. It’s got such great sentiments in the set.

There is still time to these wonderful retiring products, but it is while supplies last now. You can find them in my Online Store.

B.Y.O.P Grad

Posted on May 24, 2017 by Stamp with Jini

Spring is here and Graduations started in early May in our area. So today’s card is one that I made for a cousin’s son who recently graduated from college in South Carolina.

This card was quick and easy to make and I love the special touch the Red Glimmer Paper adds.

On a personal note as I mentioned earlier, our daughter, Kaitlin graduated from GCSU on May 6th with her Music Ed degree and is now back home for the summer. While I’m loving having her here I know it won’t be for long.

Larry and I are so proud of her and her accomplishments and think she is going to make a great teacher. She is a natural and loved everything about her student teaching semester in Morgan County.

After the ceremony and a final goodbye in Milledgeville, we loaded the truck to head home. On the way we stopped and had a celebration dinner at Kani House, one of her favorite places to dine. It was great to have the family together to celebrate this special day.

Now it is on to job interviews and new adventures for Kaitlin – the 4 years have flown by!

Stop by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing the projects and pillow gifts I made for my Sale-a-bration Celebration earlier this month.

Supplies:

Stamp Set: B.Y.O.P. (137159)

Inks: Basic Black Archival Ink (140931)
