Gift Bow Angel Video Tutorial

Posted on December 4, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

Today’s project uses the Gift Bow Bigz L Die in an untraditional way – instead of a bow I’m using it to create an angel. When I saw this little darling I just knew I had to make my own version.

This sweet angel was so easy to make and I really love the way our Winter Frost Specialty Paper and Silver Foil Sheets add that special touch to make it shine.

Color Me Christmas Treat Box Tutorial

Posted on November 29, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

I like to make little treats for each of my family members for the holidays. So here is my latest “pillow gift” that I made for the family using the Color Me Christmas stamp set. Each Treat Box is filled with a chocolate for them to enjoy Christmas morning.

You can check out my earlier video Spring Sampler Treat Box Video Tutorial below to see how the basic box was made.

I used a piece of our 7/16″ Trim to create the band that keeps the box closed and hid the seam with my image.

Lots of Thanks File Folder Card

Posted on November 5, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

Last week I shared with you how much fun it is to use the Envelope Punch Board to make a file folder card. Well today I’m going to share another card I created using the Envelope Punch Board. This one is a double tab file folder card I made using the Lots of Thanks Stamp Set and the Magnificent Maple single stamp that you can find in the Holiday Catalog.

This card also uses the Sweater Weather Designer Series Paper – if you haven’t already gotten some for yourself there is still time. I think you’ll love working with these patterns and colors just as much as I do. The Sweater Weather Designer Series Paper is great for masculine cards along with all your fall and winter cards that you’ll be making. You’ve seen me use it on other cards that you can find in some of my earlier posts.

I really liked the way this card turned out and it seems so did my friends during our Stamp Diva meeting. So today I thought I would share a video I made for you on how to create this card – I’ve called it File Folder Card #2.

An original title right? Well this title, while not terribly original, gives you a hint that there are more File Folder Card Video Tutorials to come each containing a different style – LOL. So watch for the next one soon.

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Lots of Thanks (129687/129690) and Magnificent Maple (131868)

Inks: Tangerine Tango (126946), Crushed Curry (131173), Chocolate Chip (126979), and Sahara Sand (126976)

Paper: Sweater Weather Designer Series Paper (132184), Crushed Curry (131199) and Very Vanilla Card Stock (101650)

Accessories: Envelope Punch Board (133774), Stampin’ Trimmer (126889), Multipurpose Liquid Glue (110755), 7/16” Natural Trim (129287)

Magnificent Maple Extended Flip Card

Posted on September 26, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

This past week a very special childhood friend of mine celebrated his 81^st birthday and I wanted to make him a card he’d flip over – so I made this Magnificent Maple Extended Flip Card for him using our new Circle Card Thinlits Die and the Magnificent Maple single stamp from the Holiday Catalog.

I thought it would be fun to use the Circle Card Thinlits Die since it makes flip or swing cards so easy to make. And I couldn’t resist adding a bit of “bling” to make it extra special, since Dick has been like a second father to me over the years and always makes me smile. I love getting together with him and hearing his latest joke or funny story. I’m sorry to say it just doesn’t happen frequent enough now a days.

Because I wanted to have a little more room to sign this card I created this extended flip card. Want to know how I did it? I made a quick video to show you how – How to Make an Extended Flip Card.

And while I was at it I made a quick tutorial to show you how I created the extended flip card too. Hope you enjoy it!

Modern Medley Colored Cork Board

Posted on September 13, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

Great news – my videos are back. After a break due to camera problems I think I’ve finally got it figured out. So here is my latest project that I’ve been wanting to share with you.

I created this Colored Cork Board as part of my daughter’s message center for above her dorm room desk. When I started this project I figured I’d just use the cork board as it was but then I really wasn’t happy with the look – so after a little experimenting I came up with this technique for Adding Color to Cork Boards. It’s a lot of fun – so why not check it?

I finished up my Modern Medley Cork Board by decorating it and then added some push pins to hang things with. I made these push pins using some of our Modern Medley Designer Series Paper that I added to our little Bottle Caps (from the Spring Catalog) that I had laying around my studio. Then I just topped the Designer Series Paper with a little of our Crystal Effects allowed them to dry and Voila’ – A cork board that I’m my daughter is tickled with.

Here is a close up of the focal point.

Do you like it? Why not leave me a comment and let me know what you think of my latest video and camera. I’m happy with it and still have some learning to do, but I think it has a little better sound quality. How about you?

Pinwheel Wishes Tutorial

Posted on February 26, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

Have you ever wondered what happens at one of my monthly Blue Mountain Stampers’ Meetings? Well I thought I would share with you one of the projects we made during my February TEAM meeting.

I’ve had several of you ask me if I knew any tricks on how to make these cute little pinwheels using our NEW Pinwheel Sizzlits Die from the Spring Catalog. They are sooo stinking cute, but they are small so they can be a challenge to put together if you don’t know a few tricks.

Since I made about 100 of them for my Leadership swaps in January I had plenty of time to try out different methods of putting them together. Today I thought I’d share with you what method worked best for me so I put together a Tips for Quick & Easy Pinwheels Video Tutorial to show you what I learned.

Want to make one of your own Pinwheel Wishes card? Well you can, just click Here for a FREE PDF TUTORIAL with measurements and directions just for you. I hope you have as much fun making these cute little Pinwheels as I did.
