NEW 2014 – 2015 Annual Catalog Organizational Items

Posted on June 3, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

Its that time of year again! Now that the NEW 2014-2015 Annual Catalog has gone live and if you already have your copy you want to get organized, right?

Well I know I love to organize my crafting space periodically and a new catalog is a great time to do it. So today I’ll be sharing some of the items that I use to organize my crafting space.

First let me say, if you don’t have your 2014 – 2015 Annual Catalog yet, contact me by email at [email protected] to learn how to get yours! You’ll want your own copy of this catalog since it has some wonderful NEW products!

Ok – here it goes. The first item I love to have are labels. Lots of labels for everything. You see I’m a bit OCS as my friend JoAnn says – for those of you not familiar with the term that’s Obsessive, Compulsive, Stamper! LOL

These card stock labels will help you organize your paper drawers. They can be printed on Avery labels 5195, or the equivalent of that label.

2014 File Folder Labels (printable PDF)

These next labels I use to label my ink pads and drawers or anything else I want to use them for. They can be printed on Avery labels 5160 and punched out using our Word Window Punch.

They fit nicely on the end of your ink pads so that you’ve got a label on both sides. I also use them on my storage for daubers, sponges, and refills. (You can click HERE to see a video of how I store things.)

2014 Color Labels (printable PDF)

The last item I’m going to share with you today is a reference chart for the Designer Series Paper. Although our Designer Series Paper now has the colors listed in every package I like to have a quick reference chart on my desk that shows me all the colors at a glance.

2014 -2015 Annual Catalog Designer Series Paper Chart (PDF)

Stop by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing some more of my organizational items with you.

NEW WEEKLY DEALS

And don’t forget – The retirement list ends tomorrow June 4th, 2014. So you can order both NEW 2014-2015 Annual Catalog items and retiring items today and tomorrow. How great is that!

Hostess Appreciation Brunch

Posted on February 25, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

This past weekend I held my Annual Hostess Appreciation Brunch – I love to say thank you to my Hostesses with a little pampering and a special project. After all I couldn’t do this without you!

Today I wanted to share with you a couple of pictures from the Brunch.

This first picture is of the brunch table.

I made one of my newest favorite recipes – Greek Chicken & Artichoke Flatbread. It’s so easy to put together and yummy I thought I would share the recipe with you.

Greek Chicken & Artichoke Flatbread

1 pkg. (11 or 13.8 oz.) refrigerated thin crust pizza crust

1 1/2 c. fresh parsley leaves, divided

2 garlic cloves, peeled

1 tsp. lemon zest

1 jar (12) marinated artichokes, drained

1 tbsp. olive oil

1/4 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. pepper

4 oz. feta cheese, divided

8 oz. mozzarella cheese, grated

2 c. diced cooked chicken breast

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Brush large bar pan with oil. Unroll pizza crust onto pan and press to edges. Bake on lowest oven rack 17-20 minutes or until top is golden brown.

Coarsely process 1/2 c. parsley in food processor, remove and set aside for garnish. Add remaining parsley and garlic to processor; process until finely chopped.

Add lemon zest, artichokes, olive oil, salt, pepper, and half of the feta to processor; process until coarsely chopped.

Combine half of the mozzarella, artichoke mixture and chicken; mix well. Microwave, uncovered, on High 1 – 2 minutes or until hot, stirring once.

Sprinkle cooling crust with remaining mozzarella. Top with chicken mixture; spread to edges. Cut flatbread into 16 squares. Crumble remaining feta over top and sprinkle with reserved parsley. Serve.

And here is another of Shirley working on her project.

Everyone who attended made a gift set of cards using one of our Sale-a-bration stamp sets.

Would you like to be pampered too? It’s easy to become one of my Hostesses – Just hold a party for you and your friends. Or qualify for Hostess Benefits when you place an individual order.

Stop by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing with you the little treat items that I made for everyone. I’ll be filming a quick video tutorial for them later today to share with you.

Hip Notes Get Well

Posted on February 18, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

Recently my nephew broke his leg and I want to send him a card that will bring a smile to his face. It seems like he just can’t catch a break, (no pun intended). Newly married and with a baby on the way, being out of work for 3 months it tough.

So this weekend the first card I created was one for Kevin.

I wasn’t sure where to start and I was thinking about a cast, but then I ran across the Hip Notes stamp set (133501/133504) from the Occasions Catalog on page 18. For some reason this sentiment just made me chuckle when I saw it, and I knew the kid would get the sense of humor of the sentiment. Of course the pattern from the Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper (FREE Sale-a-bration item) reminded me of a hospital gown somehow. See it? Well maybe it was the late night and wine?

Anyhow so what do you think of the card? Think it will bring a smile to his face? Why not leave me a comment and let me know what you think.

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Hip Notes (133501/133504)

Inks: Jet Black StazOn (101406), Summer Starfruit (126991), and Blushing Bride (131172)

Paper: Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper (Sale-a-bration item 133521), Blushing Bride (131198), Summer Starfruit (126839), Basic Black (121045), and Whisper White (100730)

Accessories: Decorative Dots Embossing Folder (Sale-a-bration item 133520), 3/16″ Corner Rounder (119871), Artisan Label Punch (130920), 1 1/4″ Scallop Circle Punch (127811), and Summer Starfruit 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon (126846)
