What’s Your Best Guess?

Posted on April 9, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

It won’t be long and this year’s Retirement List will be out – There is always a lot of speculation as to which stamp sets will be on the retirement list and this year I thought it would be fun to see who can guess what’s on this year’s list.

So…… I thought why not make it a contest to see who predicts most accurately, and of course, there has to be a prize if it’s a contest – Right? And I have something special for that lucky winner.

Sound like fun? Want to see if you are the one who gets the most right? Who will be the closest? You or maybe your friend? Well there is only one way to test yourself and see how you stack up. Are you up to the challenge and want to play?

Well here are the details-

Make a list of the top 10 stamp sets that you think are retiring. Then add 1 more in case I need a tie breaker.
Send me an email – subject line Retirement Party Contest (to [email protected])
Include your name, address, and phone number (I’ll need these if you’re the winner so I can get your prize to you.) along with your list
Email me you list by 9 p.m. Friday, April 19^th

Then sit back and wait for the Retirement List…..It’s coming soon and if you’re on my mailing list I’ll send one right to your inbox when it is announce later this month!

Framelits Bunny Fancy Favor

Posted on March 30, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

I thought I would share one last bunny project since Easter is tomorrow. This project is super quick and easy because the base of it is the Fancy Favor Die – Great for holding all kinds of chocolate treats that my family loves. Shhhh…don’t tell them, but they’ll be finding theirs tomorrow at their spot when we sit down for our Easter dinner.

My little bunny’s body was created using our Oval Collection Framelits Die. I used several of our punches to finish the little guy; you’ll find them listed below on the supply list.

Add a little sponging on the edges, some Multipurpose Adhesive and voila’ – The cutest little bunny around.

I hope that you’ll all have a wonderful Easter with your family. I’m really looking forward to spending the day with mine, my husband will even be home – yippee, so it will be wonderful to spend the day together celebrating Easter.

Blue Mountain Stampers’ Swaps

Posted on February 13, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

One of my favorite parts of being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator is spending time sharing ideas and projects with my fellow demonstrators. I’ve been so blessed with the friendships and the people I’ve meet while on my journey as a demonstrator with Stampin’ Up! I wanted to share a little bit about my team with you.

My Team’s name is the Blue Mountain Stampers, chosen due to fact that we live here in the North Georgia foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Recently we met for our monthly meeting and so today I want to share some of the wonderful swaps my team members brought along with them to swap.

First, I’ll share with you the swap that our newest member of the team made. Tamara recently joined my team when she took advantage of the Sale-a-bration promotion. (You can click HERE to see more information about the Sale-a-bration promotion.)

Tamara made this cute little Sweet Treat Box for Valentine’s Day using the adorable Owl Builder Punch (item 118074) and the Print Poetry Designer Series Paper Stack (item 129312) that she got in her Starter Kit. Filled with chocolate kisses it’s not only too cute but is sure to be a hit with anyone! (Quick hide it from my husband – Somehow he always knows when a swap contains chocolate!)

This next swap was created by Janie. Janie whom recently celebrated her one year anniversary as a demonstrator, gave us these wonderful cards and coordinating envelopes. I just love the way Janie thinks outside the box. She used the Polka Dot Parade Designer Series Paper (item 126902) and the Lovely Letters Alphabet stamp set (item 115030/127786) to create a personalized note card in different colors for each of us.

And finally Cindy who has been a demonstrator the longest now, brought these wonderful swaps using the Love You Much image from our NEW Best of 25 Years stamp set for February – Best of Love stamp set (item 132987) to create her two items.

I love the little envelope she made using the Sunshine & Sprinkles Designer Series Paper (item 126922). Doesn’t it make you smile just looking at it? The hearts were created with our Hearts a Flutter Framelits (item 130159). Both these great items can be found in our Spring Catalog.

The second item Cindy gave us makes a great gift item for someone’s desk. I really like the way Cindy used the More Amore Specialty Designer Series Paper (item 129309) to decorate the fabulous NEW Designer Builder Brads (item 129329) and binder clip don’t you?

Does this look like fun? Is this something you might be interested in doing? Have you ever thought about joining Stampin’ Up?

Now is a great time to join. With the special Sale-a-bration promotion not only will you get to choose your own starter kit for just $99 – You’ll get $156.50 in product! That is an extra 25% since Stampin’ Up! is celebrating their 25^th anniversary.

Whether you’re a hobbyist who wants to take advantage of our 20% discount to support your paper crafting habit or a business builder wanting to pay some bills – As a member of my Blue Mountain Stampers’ Team, you’ll have access to my support and resources to help you grow as a Demonstrator.
