Today I’ve got some wonderful items to help make organizing your craft space easier for you while you’re waiting for those fun new colors and products to arrive. These are items I’ve been using for years and find them really helpful when I’m crafting.
Be sure to add some of our Standard Stamp Cases so that you’re ready to organize your Dies too. I’ll be sharing those PDFs tomorrow.
I’ve done this with each NEW Annual Catalog launch for years (you can find past items by looking under the organization category) and I hope you’ll find them useful too.
First, I’ve created a quick reference for the Designer Series Paper. I like this chart and keep it handy when I’m looking for the colors in the Designer Series Paper. Everything you need is on this one easy chart.
2024 Annual Catalog Designer Series Paper Chart PDF (updated 5/15)
Want a quick way to know what colors you have on the go? I love this purse sized inventory list for keeping my items handy, so I’m sharing it with you. It’s got all of our color families even the two In Color Families. Simply print, score, then fold to create a tri-fold reference chart that you can tuck in your purse. And if you’d like a visual of the color, add a small circle of the card stock for those that you have like I did here with a half inch circle punch above the name. Here is a photo of last years so you can see what I mean with the circles.
Tip: Make sure when you are printing this chart to turn the second side so that it prints upside down. That way both sides will be in the same direction when using.
Labels, Labels, Labels – I love labels and these make things so easy. I like to have everything consistent so with the NEW 2024 Annual Catalog. I have created new labels for my hanging file folders, Refill drawers, daubers, and the bottoms of my Classic Ink Pads.
Stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing my Dies Case Organizational Items with you.

Do you love dogs? I know I do. I can’t remember a time that a dog wasn’t apart of our family someone we loved. From my first little pup at age 4 to our two current little babies, dogs hold a special place in my heart. So when I saw the Doggone Friendly Stamp (162729) I knew it would be part of my shopping list.
Today I’m going to share some fun cards from my swap that use this stamp in different ways. I like the fact that this stamp has it all and we can highlight one or all of our sweet faces! This first card does just that.
The card front was stamped in Pebbled Path and then circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies (159183) was used to cut out the image desired. The pup has been colored and highlighted and then layered onto a larger circle of Misty Moonlight. This layered shape covers the hole that was created. And how about this next card that uses a quick pop of color on their bandanas with our Stampin’ Blends to draw your eye?
This stamped image was stamped Pecan Pie once and then cut into three sections at 1 1/2″, 2 1/8″ to decorate the panels. So simple but it packs a wow in shades of brown.
Three cards, three totally different looks! It’s one of my favorite things about paper crafting, while we start with the same supplies we can create a project that is our.
On a personal note I thought I’d share a quick pic of my pups. Kona and Hana who are now 21 weeks old and just got their first grooming.
We named them after two towns we were able to visit on vacation recently. They are such sweet little faces, don’t you think? Why not leave me a comment and tell me what kind of pup you have?

Check out these fun cards using the Bundle. This first card uses the punch for a bold look.
A bit of texture was added to the back ground with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder (156505) and our quick and easy Stampin’ Blends were used to color the vegetation. Or how about this fun little card to say HI to someone?
Monkeys for us have become a family favorite when visiting the zoo. On a trip to Honolulu’s Zoo last year we ran across a Gibbon monkey, this little guy was very vocal. Check out this quick little video I took. Click HERE or on my photo below.
It was so funny we were mesmerized and spent quite a while watching him sing and sing. This little guy marks his territory by a whooping, piercing “song,” and he went on for a while, you could hear him across the zoo too. LOL. We’ve never seen anything like it. (You can learn more about him HERE on the zoo’s website). By the way this zoo was a wonderful, if you have a few hours why not check it out?
So what do you think? Do you find this set as adorable as I do? Why not check it out in my Online Store?
I’ve shared some of my past organizational items that I’ve been using for years the last couple of days for the NEW 2023 Annual Catalog and so today I thought I’d share something new with you, my Stampin’ Blends Labels.
Yes, I finally sat down and created this file for myself and it includes all the current 2023 Stampin’ Blends including the Natural Tones all in one place. This PDF is simple to use, simply print it off onto a piece of Basic White Card stock and cut it into strips so that your punch will slide in on each side.
Then simply punch out the color you need and use a Mini Glue Dot to attach it to your cap.
Yep, it is that quick and simple! Now I just need to make sure to put them right side up in their spots so I can read them lol.
And if you want to see how I use the storage for the Stampin’ Blends I shared that with you HERE.
Yesterday I shared with you my Labels that I use for almost everything lol and some of you had some questions about my card stock box and why there were little silver clips on some of the folder. (You can click HERE to see the labels and that post)
The answer is a quick and easy one – inventory. These little silver binder clips tell me that I have a new package of card stock waiting in the wings. I picked up this tip years ago from a fellow crafter and find it very useful as it is a quick and easy visual cue to let me know that I need to order that color when the file folder gets a bit thin.
Speaking of those labels – My ink pads needed a bit of sprucing up with those new labels. I love to make it easy to find where things go ink my ink rack.
Not only can I quickly see the name but also the color ink pad that is hiding on my desk when I clean up. I simply cut a bit of card stock down to fit in the slot add the label and use add a strip of Stampin’ Seal or a Mini Glue Dot to the front to hold it down.
And last but not least, the labels that come on the underside of the pad. How do you use them?
Our pads now have 2 names of the color in English. Now I can not only put the name on the end of the pad, but also along the top edge so I can see it when it’s closed or when it’s open and I’m stamping.
I love the fact that Stampin’ Up! looks at small details like this to make crafting easier. How about you?
I hope you’ve enjoyed my organizational items for the Color Refresh and the 2023 Annual Catalog and find them helpful.

I’ve done this with each NEW Annual Catalog launch for years (you can find past items by looking under the organization category) and I hope you’ll find them useful too.
First,I’ve created a quick reference for the Designer Series Paper. I like this chart and keep it handy when I’m looking for the colors in the Designer Series Paper. Everything you need is on this one easy chart.
2023 Annual Catalog Designer Series Paper Chart PDF
I actually print this twice and cut one apart to put with my Designer Series Paper since the printing is bigger than what comes on the tag board backer. You can also keep my Design Tools & Color Swatch Books on your desk or with it too for easy reference. (I do both since I tend to bury the swatch book under everything on my desk when I’m creating, lol). If you haven’t ordered a set of 2023 Annual Catalog Swatch Books yet, I still have a few left. Simply Email me at StampwithJini@gmail to get yours and and I’ll send you a PayPal invoice.

Tip: Make sure when you are printing this chart to turn the second side so that it prints upside down. That way both sides will be in the same direction when using.
Labels, Labels, Labels – I love labels and these make things so easy. I like to have everything consistent so with the NEW 2023 Annual Catalog. I have created new labels for my hanging file folders, Refill drawers, daubers, and the bottoms of my Classic Ink Pads.

Yesterday I shared the first of two swaps that I created for the Back Stage event last week. I I decided I wanted to do both a masculine and feminine card for the swaps. So today I’ll be sharing the swap I made with the True Beauty stamp set (158976).
This stamp set is perfect for feminine cards with it’s floral images and lovely font. The true watercolor look is built into the stamp so it’s soo easy to use and create a multidimensional look for any project!
This set also has a coordinating set of dies and is part of a suite of products, but for this project I wanted to keep it simple. (A late night the day before you fly out will do that lol)
Here is the card I came up with.
Sweet with a bold pop of color. Perfect for a friend! So why not check out my video tutorial and pdf for the project I have created for you? And did you know when I give you a Classic Ink item # on my pdfs I include the reinker item # for the ink pad? I always tell folks to order them together so you’ll never have a dry ink pad. Nothing more frustrating when creating, right? Something I learned the hard way when I first started stamping. Anyhow here is the the video tutorial.
And how about some pictures too – Back Stage is a special event that Stampin’ Up! holds for it’s leaders once a year. It was held in New Orleans this year some place I’d never been before, so it was exciting to see what this town was all about. We stayed in the French Quarter and after I arrived I had some time grab lunch and to explore with new friends before our Sweets & Swaps event that evening.
What a view!
Check in brought a fun swap bag filled with goodies – Stampin’ Up! always spoils us!
Swapping with 500 of your fellow leaders what could be more fun?
and of course there were sweets and entertainment too!
The next 2 days brought lots of wonderful local food, training, fun and fellowship with new and old friends.
And our final night ended with a Mardi Gras parade and party.
As always our hearts were full as we said goodbye at the end of the evening,
until next time when we gather again. Do these Stampin’ Up! events appeal to you too? Why learn more about becoming a Demonstrator and joining my Team, the Blue Mountain Stampers HERE or contact me today?
