Team Time Fun with the Mini & more

Posted on by

Yesterday was our monthly team meeting – we gathered, shared, and stamped together. So today I thought I’d share some of the wonderful projects that everyone has made. I’ll start with the New products from the Mini.

This first card uses the fun little Nuts about Squirrels stamp set (156475). These little guys are adorable.

The pop of color has been added with our Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper (155841). If you haven’t check out this pack of paper, you’ll want to – the colors and patterns are great for fall projects.

This stamp set is so adorable in fact I’ll be offering a card class soon using this set! Watch for more information coming soon. You can sign up my Newsletter email list so you’ll get the information right to your inbox.

And this next card was created with the Joyful Life (156529) found on page 63 of the Mini along with the Layering Circle Dies (151770).

The fun pattern paper is from our Gingerbread & Peppermint Designer Series Paper (156313) pack and is perfect for this project.

Love movement cards? Then you’ll enjoy this next card that uses the Give it a Whirl Dies (154336) along with the Great Tidings Bundle (156382) and is a definite wow card.

The die allows you to show more than just the one sentiment – an who doesn’t love movement cards?

The next few cards show off some of our wonderful nature inspired sets. This first card is monochromatic and is done in Pumpkin Pie. Quick and easy it uses our Daisy Garden Background stamp (155079) that has been teamed up with the sentiment from the Forever Fern stamp set (152559).

And how about this tent card that has been made using the Artistically Inked Bundle (155456)?

The Suite (155459) has wonderful gold foiling options too.

Soft and sweet this next card uses our Dandelion 3D Embossing folder (152953) and White Craft Ink to create this get well card.

It’s summer which always makes me think of the beach, so how about a card made with the Friends are Like Seashells stamp set (158203) for our next card?

Texture has been created for the backdrop using the Seashells 3D Embossing Folder (154309) and our Pearlescent Specialty Paper (154291). It’s simply elegant with all of it’s shimmer.

And last but not least an adorable little 3d box using the Party Puffins stamp set (155054) done in Polished Pink.

How can this little image not make you smile?

Whew – lots of great projects. I’m so blessed with my team, we love to gather together and always have a lot of fun when we do.

A bit of sparkle and shine was added with the Gold 3/8″ Fine Art Ribbon (154561). The Tailored Tag Punch (145667) makes this sentiment quick and easy too. Punch a second tag shape, cut it in half and layer the sentiment for another pop of color. And how about this cute idea?

Quiet Meadow

Posted on by

The name and images of the Quiet Meadow Bundle makes me think of my childhood and walking through the fields and meadows around my childhood home. Flowers of all kinds, milkweed pods and even Monarch Butterflies came and went through the seasons. My father wanted to have a tree farm and so had bought a large piece of property out in the country with a creek that ran through it. Our home sat on the farthest corner of the property up on a hill, the only spot really out of the flood plain. But that creek made the area rich with black soil and the perfect place to plant his trees on the other side of the property. Unfortunately my father passed before realizing his dream, but those wonderful childhood memories remain.

The Quiet Meadow Bundle includes both images in detail and silhouette.

It also contains some heartfelt sentiments for you too. Check out these wonderful cards made with this set. These first two use our new In Colors and create a lovely monochromatic card using silhouette images.

The butterfly was cut out of our beautiful Pale Papaya, In Color Shimmer Vellum (155616). If you haven’t seen this Shimmer Vellum in person it is simply beautiful with it’s translucent shimmer. Speaking of which, this next card adds the Fresh Freesia Shimmer Vellum to create an over lay of the collage background on this next card.

And how about a fun fold? This next card uses the Hand Penned Designer Series Paper (155499) to create this soft and lovely floral card.

And this next card uses our Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper (155807) and creates a shadow effect with the dies on this opening flap by cutting a second image out of our Evening Evergreen Card stock and just off setting the image a bit.

It contains a lovely little surprise when open with the Shimmer Vellum butterfly.

And last but not least here is a quick and easy 3d project, using the dies and a bit of sponging.

This sweet little note pad uses the inspiring sentiment from the Hand Penned Stamp set (155070) along with the coordinating Hand Penned Designer Series Paper (155499) to inspire the color choices.

So what do you think? Like all of the options that this bundle gives you? I think you’ll enjoy creating with the Quiet Meadow Bundle. And as you can see it looks great with our 2021 In Color Collection too!

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Quiet Meadow (*155082)

Plentiful Plants

Posted on by

Yesterday I shared with you a fun bundle called Welcoming Window and so today I thought I’d share another great set that’s all about plants, the Plentiful Plants Bundle (155688).

This bundle is all about the plants and has a wonderful collection of coordinating products that go with it. You can get them all in one easy to order Suite, Bloom Where You’re Planted making creating quick and simple. This first card uses the wonderful Paper Lattice (155697) to highlight the fun book end fold for this card.

I just love the bright pop of Melon Mambo to draw your attention to the sentiment. And this next card uses the Bloom Where You’re Planted Designer Series Paper (155696) as a back drop for these lovely plants. The sentiment is pulled from another set and uses the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch (152883) to highlight it along with the Genial Gems (155500). You’ll find yourself reaching for these gems over and over with their soft shades and sprinkle of gold.

And if you are wondering about the Baker’s Twine it’s from our Essential Pack (155475) which contains 4 colors for your crafting needs. And if you love the plant hanger why not check out our NEW Macrame 3D Embossing Folder (155435)? I’m probably dating myself, but when I think of hanging plants I think of macrame, lol. It’s great to see this option coming back again as I love to hang my house plants.

So what do you think? Have a favorite set? Is it yesterdays Welcoming Window or today’s Plentiful Plants? Or both?

What’s Cookin’ this summer?

Posted on by

I don’t know about you but the last couple of weeks I’ve been busy in the kitchen putting up those fresh garden vegetables and trying new recipes with them too. Some have been a hit and some not so much, but that is the way it goes right? For those of you who love being in the kitchen creating great dishes we’ve got a great new bundle for you.

Check out these fun cards using this bundle of products the choices are endless! I love the bold background for this first card. Do you recognize it? It’s the Macramé 3D Embossing Folder (155435) creating all that texture.

And how about the classic apron? I remember so well spending time with my Grandmother who always had an apron handy for me. After she was gone I wore those aprons for years as I worked by myself baking, a fond remembrance of my youth and those times we spent together. This apron was created by using the Basic Borders Die (155558) simply by starting with the Pattern Party Designer Series Paper (Host 155426) and cutting one side with the die and then the other.

The apron trim is also one of the dies that you’ll find in the set along with the table on this next card.

So what do you think? Know someone who would enjoy receiving a card made with this set and a the little reminder that happiness IS homemade? Why not stop by my online store and check out this wonderful bundle and other products for your crafting needs?

Stellar Birthday

Posted on by

With the space race in the news the last couple of weeks I thought I’d share some cards using the Stellar Birthday stamp set (154461) for our future little astronauts and the possibility of their one day reaching for the stars.

This set is filled with fun images and quirky sentiments.

Check out these cards made using the stamp set. This first card uses a fun using bleach.

The Night of Navy card stock back ground has been spritzed (126185) to create this two tone effect and then Clear Wink of Stella (141897) has been added to create some shimmer. Shimmery Crystal Effects (150892) has also been added to the face of the astronaut for a bit more shine and create a glass effect. This fun bleach technique creates different effects depending on what color card stock you start with making it a lot of fun. Why not give it a try?

This next card has some movement since it uses our fun new Give it a Whirl Dies (154336).

It creates the ability to show several different images on the wheel that you can whirl through

making it a lot of fun to create and receive.

If you haven’t seen these dies you’ll want to be sure to check them out since they are a great set of dies that can be used with lots of different stamp sets.

I really like the way that Stampin’ Up! has given these type of independent die sets in the 2021 Annual Catalog that can be used for all kinds of crafting needs.

Don’t have an Annual Catalog and would like one? If you don’t have a current demonstrator email me your name, address, and phone number to StampwithJini@gmail.com and I’ll be happy to mail you a catalog.
