Wow, the week has already flow by so far. Can you believe it is already Wednesday? There is a lot going on but I don’t want to delay starting my second series of Mix It Up tutorials. Today’s series also uses the ever popular Dragonfly Garden Stamp set and coordinating Punch. I think you’ll find once you start using this bundle you won’t want to stop!
This series of cards uses only 3 colors – Mossy Meadow, Smoky Slate, and Blackberry Bliss making it a great a great way to create tons of cards on a budget which is great for new stampers. And when you purchase the products to make these cards you’ll qualify for a FREE Sale-a-bration item too! You got to love that too, right?
Well here we go I’ve got not only the video tutorial for you but also a printable PDF that includes the supply list and step by step instructions along with the video link. Keeping everything together in one place for you.
I just love this concept and projects that was shared with us during our last OnStage event. How about you? Why not leave me a comment and let me know what you think?
Enjoy! and then stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing the second card in this Series with you.
Today marks the end of my Mix It Up Series Series #1 and it’s final project. This week I’ve been sharing with you cards all made with the same pieces, just mixed up. This technique is a fun and quick way to create cards quickly. Whether your new to stamping or a avid crafter like myself you’ll find this series a great way to craft.
Today’s card once again uses the classic Misty Moonlight and Bumblebee combination. Since it uses just 2 ink pads it’s a great way to start building your color collection. And since they both are part of our 2020-2022 In Color Collection you can choose our Cardstock Assortment pack since it contains all 5 colors in the In Color collection.
Done in a landscape layout it with simple stamping – this sentiment is a great way to spread some cheer.
Here is my video tutorial and a printable PDF also for you. Did you know that each of my PDF tutorials not only gives you a complete supply list, measurements, and step by step directions as a companion to the video but it also includes the YouTube link? Yep, they do – that makes it simple to keep everything in one place!

If you enjoyed this series of tutorials you’ll want to make sure to stop back by again next week when I’ll being sharing my Mix It Up Series #2! If you missed my earlier projects that are part of this series you can scroll back to see them in my earlier posts and catch up.
Yesterday I shared with you the first card in my Mix It Up Series and as promised today I’ll be sharing the second card of the 3 using these same pieces. So without further ado here you go.
This card uses the same size pieces and once again the Misty Moonlight and Bumblebee Classic Inks but mixes up the layout a bit. Check out my video tutorial and PDF for this project below.

So what do you think? Are you liking this option for quick and easy cards? Why not leave me a comment and let me know? Then stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing the last of the 3 cards in this tutorial series.
Today I’ll be sharing the first card tutorial in a series of tutorials. It’s a series of tutorials that I’m calling – Mix It Up. All the cards in this Series use the same pieces in different ways. So you can cut once and create multiple cards. I had hoped to share this concept that was introduced to us at OnStage@Home last year, but after I filmed and downloaded things they got lost in my computer. I didn’t realize it until I was cleaning up things in my classroom. Sigh. But the good news is I’m sharing them with you now.
So here is the first card in Series #1 – there will be 3 different tutorials in each Series
This series of cards is done in Misty Moonlight and Bumblebee Classic Ink – a classic color combo.
I’ve got a video and PDF for each of the cards in the series –

And if your wondering you can get a bunch of dragonflies out of this stack of Designer Series Paper – here is a quick look at how I cut it to get the most out of the sheet when using the punch.
Enjoy and then stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing the second of 3 cards with you.
Today’s card is the last of 3 that I’ll be sharing with you this week using the Sale-a-bration FREEBIES, Darling Donkeys and the Oh So Ombre Designer Series Paper.
This fun little guy is kicking up his heels to celebrate my friends birthday. I think she’ll really like this bright cheerful card done in Granny Apple Green and Highland Heather. What do you think?
If you’d like to make one too I’ve whipped up a video turorial for you.

And of course, here is one of my PDFs with the step by step instructions and complete supply list too. Did you know that on each PDF I create for you that I include the YouTube link for you? Yep, this keeps things in one place and gives you a quick way to find the video tutorial so you can follow along each and every time you want to stamp with me!
So why not sign up for class and earn the Sale-a-bration products that I used in this weeks 3 tutorials too? It’s a great deal – free class and free Sale-a-bration goodies too!
Today I’m sharing another card made with the Darling Donkeys stamp set from the Sale-a-bration Brochure. I’ve just fallen in love with these little guys and their sweet faces. They are so quick and easy to color with our Stampin’ Blends – and I find coloring with our Stampin’ Blends quite relaxing too.
This time I’ve team the image up with our bright and cheerful Bermuda Bay pattern from the Oh So Ombre 6×6 Designer Series Paper that you can also find in the Sale-a-bration offerings.
This card is quick and easy to stamp and when the image is teamed up with this bold sentiment it is perfect to send to a friend to brighten their day. Want to see how quick and easy this was to stamp? Why not check out my video tutorial?
Over the next 3 days I’ll be sharing some fun new tutorials with you so you’ll want to stop back by to check them out. Meanwhile, today’s card uses the adorable little donkey from our Sale-a-bration stamp set, Darling Donkeys. It’s tough to resist this set with its whimsical images that’s perfect for all kinds of occasions.
If you love this little adorable little guy you’ll want to make some of these cards for yourself yourself! So why not check out this quick video crating this card that highlights this set.

Did I say darling? Yes! This stamp set is just too cut and I couldn’t wait to ink it up and put it to paper when I first saw it.
Today’s card was one that I cased from the Sale-a-bration brochure. Do you ever do that? I love the fact that our catalogs have such great ideas that we can copy and share! I used this cute little card for my Team OnStage After Party last November, so today I thought I’d share it with you so you can make some too.
I’ve whipped up a quick tutorial with a complete supply list and video too! Why not check it out?

Got questions? I’m here to help simply call or email me. I’m always happy to help!
Today I’d like to share another tutorial with you. I’m running a bit behind because my internet is having issues. So please bear with me as I work through this problem over the next few days. Today’s card uses the Floating & Fluttering Bundle found in the 2021 January – June Mini.
This bundle of products doesn’t contain sentiments so it was perfect to team up with the FREE Sale-a-bration stamp set Heal Your Heart (Sale-a-bration 152291) that you can earn when you purchase this bundle and spend $50 in product.
Want to see the card now? I chose one of my favorite color combos for it – Coastal Cabana and Granny Apple Green.
When doing a technique like blending colors you’ll want to choose colors next to each other on the color wheel rather than across from each other for a more pleasing feel. If you use colors across from each other you’ll get a more “muddy” look when you blend them.
If you don’t remember your childhood art class basics, there are primary colors Red, Blue, and Yellow.
When primary colors are mixed with the color next to them you get the secondary colors, orange, violet, green. And of course, if there is more of one of the primary colors in the mix that is more dominate, you’ve got the tertiary colors or 3rd set of colors.
If you’ve been stamping for a while you probably do this intuitively with your color combinations without even realizing it as we all have color palettes we use repeatedly because they make us happy.
On to the tutorial. I’ve created both a video and PDF for you that I wanted to share.

And just a reminder if you haven’t received your January – June Mini Catalog or Sale-a-bration brochure yet please let me know. You can email me at stampwithJini@gmail.com and I’ll get another out to you.
