Organizating your Ink & More

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.

Stampin’ Blends Labels PDF

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.

Organizational Basics for the 2023 Annual Catalog

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. 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 on Thursday.

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.

2022-2023 Annual Catalog Color Collection Inventory Chart

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.

2023 Color Collection Tri-Fold Inventory Chart PDF

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.

LabelsLabels, 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.

True Beauty & Back Stage Fun!

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.

True Beauty Card Tutorial PDF

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?

PayPal is easy — and a PayPal account is not required to make your payment.  Just an email address and credit/debit card.  When you receive your PayPal invoice by email, you can choose to pay using your PayPal funds or by a credit/debit card.  Simply follow their instructions to make your payment via the method that is most convenient for you. It should be simple!

And of course, if you live locally – just let me know if you prefer to pick up your items rather than pay for the shipping and I’ll invoice you accordingly.

NOTE:  The first share/swatch books if placed on January 4th can be expected in about 2 weeks after I place the order. Here is how my paper shares/swatch books work… first I save your spot and collect your payment, then I place the order, receive the order, cut and package the paper, package up your swatch book/share for mailing and then take them to the Post Office to ship.

Please note with Covid-19 and current shipping times I’ll do my best to fill these orders as quickly as possible. I’ll be placing my order first thing on January 4th. However, if there are back orders orders will ship when everything has been received.

Team Shoe Box Fun & More

Last week I shared with you one of our projects from our December Team Luncheon and so today I wanted to share the lovely Shoe Box projects that everyone brought with them to share. There was a wide variety of projects which is what makes a shoe box swap so much fun!

This first card is a special Gift Box in a Card that uses our Eden’s Garden Collection (160849).

I just love the little message that was included with the card for the back.

What a great way to send virtual hugs. I know I’ll be making more of these myself to share with you soon.

Next a fun fold – this fun card uses the Friends are Like Seashells stamp set (158203) and it’s coordinating dies (156095) along with the fun Seashells 3D Embossing Folder (154309) that adds texture to the shells too. If you haven’t seen this Bundle (159516) and love anything beach themed you’ll want to be sure to check it out (page 27 of the Annual Catalog).

A card made with the lovely Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper (155841) and some of our dies along with the sentiment from the Shaded Summer stamp set (155783).

Texture has also been added with our Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder (154317) and lovely Evening Evergreen 3/8″ Chevron Weave Ribbon (155722). and need a birthday card? This next card has tons of appeal with it’s rich look using the Expressions in Ink Designer Series Paper (155464) and Gold Foil (132622).

And last but not least a sneak peek from the upcoming MINI and Sale-a-bration products. This last card uses the Sale-a-bration stamp set, Friendly Hello (159990) and lovely Daffodil Afternoon Designer Series Paper (158127). Both these items will be available to earn on January 4th with a qualifying order.

I’m thinking they will be very popular. Of course, if you stamp with me regularly your 2022 January – June MINI Catalog is already in the mail on it’s way to you and hopefully arriving soon.

Wondering How to Get YOUR Copy?

  • If you haven’t ordered in a while
  • Don’t have a demonstrator

Contact me at stampwithjini@gmail.com or give me a call. I’ll be happy to mail you one or if your local set one aside for pick up

And of course since this is our Annual Luncheon and I gave everyone this cute little charm for their team lanyard

along with a little gift.

And because it’s December I shared some of the products with my team that we were able to preorder from the 2022 January – June Mini and Sale-a-bration Brochure. It’s one of my favorite “perks” of being a demonstrator. Getting to be first to order new products and get them at a discount too! What’s not to love?

What are the Blue Mountain Stampers?

It’s just a peek of what’s inside the 2022 January – June Mini & Sale-a-bration Catalogs! And as I am sure you can guess, being the first to see this new catalog or any of our new catalogs is a very exciting AND a  huge perk of being a Demonstrator – after all who wouldn’t want to be first? Right!  Add the fact that you’ll receive a discount on all these products and you can’t lose! If you feel this is a good time to join Stampin’ Up! and my team, the Blue Mountain Stampers, you too can be first too!

Sweet as a Peach Treat Tag, Team fun & more

How about some swaps, team time and a fun treat tutorial? Today I thought I’d share what we’ve been doing as a my group recently. I’ve got a great team and we have a lot of fun together when we gather each month, so I thought I’d share some of the groups swaps first. I’ll start with some of the Sale-a-bration cards.

this first card uses the lovely Feels like Home stamp set (Sale-a-bration 156607) and has been colored with our Watercolor Pencils (141709 & 149014) assortments for a softer look. And this next card was created using the Delicate Dahlia stamp set (Sale-a-bration 156601) and Merry Merlot for a bold look.

If you don’t recognize the polka dots it’s from the Beautifully Penned Designer Series Paper pack (Sale-a-bration 156630) which as you can see is quite versatile. A bit of fussy cutting and some Wink of Stella finish off this lovely card. And how about this big bold sunflower?

This card uses the Celebrate Sunflowers (152517) and the coordinating Sunflower Dies (152704) and it’s also a fun buckle card, the sentiment tucks into a punched slot behind the sunflower.

Not only do we do team meetings each month, but we also had a team retreat in August, so I thought I’d share a couple of the swaps from that today. This first project uses the Friends are Like Seashells Bundle (159516) and Seashells 3D Embossing Folder (154309).

And how about some pansy fun using the Pansy Petals Suite (155810)? A simple cutting technique creates this criss-cross pattern for the card front.

We also made a fun little box that was filled with some treats.

I really love this Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper (155807) and the fact you can cut tons of flowers out with the bundle’s dies and isn’t the little box adorable? Want to see more team fun? This month was our bi-annual Peak Princess event. What is that? It’s a special day filled with pampering that my team can earn. This time we made 3 special projects, won prizes and enjoyed a nice Hawaiian inspired luncheon together.

The pulled pork and Mango Salsa we had were a hit so I thought I’d share the recipes with you. The pulled pork is soooo easy with just 3 ingredients and you make in the crock pot too! And you may find the Mango Salsa addictive – eat it with chips, or you can add it on top of fish or shrimp taco too.

And as a little gift everyone received a charm for their lanyards that was placed in this cute Treat Tag marking this occasion.

Want to see how I made this little Treat Tag? I’ve whipped up a quick video tutorial for you and a PDF with the complete supply list.
