A Child is Born

Posted on November 5, 2025 by Stamp with Jini

Do you love simple line art images? When I first saw the A Child is Born Stamp set (165833)

I love the sentiments and images but wasn’t sure about the faces. While today’s cards don’t show it the solution is simple, use your Stampin’ Write Marker and add them! A simple little crescent drawn on made me happy.

Check out today’s cards and see what you think? This set with it’s simple line art is perfect for monochromatic cards like these. But of course they are great for a quick watercolor wash to add color too. That’s the great thing about stamping, right? Our ability to make it our own!

This first card uses Silver Embossing Powder on a mat of Misty Moonlight card stock.

The Misty Moonlight & Silver Edged 1/2″ Ribbon (165931) and Rhinestones Basic Jewels (144220) add a bit of shine and elegance to the card.

This next card steps that shine with a bit of glimmer paper found in the Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper (165929) pack.

A back drop of stars on the Secret Sea backdrop is one of the patterns from the Peaceful Garden Designer Series Paper (165917). Giving us the feel of night for this special day.

So what do you think? Which camp are you in? I find that you either want faces or not.

Stay Warm

Posted on October 27, 2025 by Stamp with Jini

This cold weather has me thinking about sweaters and turning on the heat. How about you? So with that thought in mind I thought I’d share the fun little set, Stay Warm Stamp set (165969)

one of our image only sets from the Mini Catalog. Everyone can relate to these warm fuzzy images. I know I do when I was a child my grandmother always made sure I was bundled up before I went out in the snow to play.

So with those warm memories in mind I’m sharing a couple of cards made using this set. This first card uses the images stamped tone on tone.

Texture has been added in the background with the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder (164049). And even more texture has been added by using the Perennial Postage Dies (162607) that have been used to cut out the sentiment and Traditions of Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper (165853).

The sentiment is from the Snowflake Kisses stamp set (Online Exclusive 166018) and the fun bit of shine are our Traditional Sparkling Sequins (165875). If you haven’t seen these sequins they are flat, come in 4 colors and 3 sizes making them great to use on all kinds of projects.

This last card today teams up the stamp set with the Christmas Tags & More 6×6 Mix & Match Specialty Designer Series Paper (165907).

The sweater has been stamped in Soft Sea and Garden Green with the two-step stamps.

Happy Place

Posted on October 23, 2025 by Stamp with Jini

Do you have a happy place? I know mine is the beach and listening to the waves roll in. Or maybe you need a retirement card? The Happy Place stamp set (165966) might be just what you need for card making and even scrapbooking with it’s bold senitments.

The topical feel is built into the word happy for you. Check out today’s card using the set. This first one if bright and cheerful and uses the Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper (165586)

which sets the color pallet. The sentiment has been stamped using Strawberry Slush and a bit of Darling Duckling and Strawberry Slush 3/8″ Faux Linen Ribbon add some texture along the Rhinestone Jewel. You can feel the fun!

And this next card uses a more muted color pallet and allows the Happy to shine.

Color has been added to the stamp using Sponge Daubers (133773) along with Blueberry Bushel, Calypso Coral, Gorgeous Grape, and Secret Sea Classic Inks. Sponge Daubers are great to add color exactly where you want it since they give you more control making this technique quick and simple. Just make sure to start with the lightest color first and end with the darkest color last so you don’t contaminate your ink pad.

A bit of Linen Thread (104199) tied into a knot gives it a nautical tough, while the leaves on the card front from the Silly Safari Stamp set (165254) adds to the tropical image of the sentiment.

Monochromatic or filled with color – the choice is yours when you’re stamping! Part of what I love about stamping is the fact the same images can feel so different based on the choices you make when crafting. How about you? What do you love about paper crafting?
