Posted on November 8, 2016 by Stamp with Jini

Wow – it’s already the second week in November – I’ve got so much to share with you!

First, check out this sneak peek of our upcoming November Paper Pumpkin Kit!!!

Stampin’ Up! has given us a peek at the box! I love the blue and can you see the little snow scene? It is a hint of what’s inside.

If you haven’t already you’ll want to sign up in the next two days! Why? You have to have your account activated before the end of the day November 10th to receive this box!!!

Got questions? I’m here to help you can call me at 706 754-7124 or email me at [email protected]

Next, I realized this weekend I hadn’t shared anything about the Fall Day Retreat and there were some cute items I made for it. And I wanted to make sure I shared this with you since I have some video tutorials to go with the projects! Anyhow, I love pampering each and everyone of you at these events! And I had a lot of fun making treats for the event to make it special – so to begin I’ll share with you the goodies that everyone received during their day of crafting.

Here is a photo of not only the items they received in their “goodie bags” but also the little treats throughout the day.

I’ll get to the video – But first, check out this cute little stand up guy!

I couldn’t resist this quick little treat and since I just love the Cookie Cutter Halloween Stamp Set (142252/142255) and it’s coordinating punch (140396) I couldn’t resist making this fall themed treat for everyone. I’ve put a little butter rum candy between the two images. Who wouldn’t love seeing this little guy at their place setting on Thanksgiving? Adorable, right? this little scarecrow just makes me smile.

And here is one of the little treats from the day – I call it my Acorny Treat Pouch! I find myself reaching for this fun fall set and it’s punch! Quick and easy and when you team it up with the fun fall paper from the Holiday Catalog – it makes a great treat!

Of course, the chocolate doesn’t hurt, right? LOL!

Why not check out this quick little video – they are so easy to make!

Fun & Flirty Flip Flops

Posted on June 30, 2016 by Stamp with Jini

What says summer more than a new pair of flip flops? Today’s card uses our fun bold Designer Series Paper, Festive Birthday to create these fun cactus flip flops.

I’ve had several of you ask me how I created these when you saw my shoe box card HERE.

So I thought I’ve put together a video tutorial on how they are made. And I included some tips to make things easier.

Want the pattern? Well I’ve made one up just for you!

Flip Flop Pattern Printable PDF

So, what kind of flip flops do you like? Plain, bright and colorful, or wild patterns? Why not leave me a comment and let me know.

What’s Happening Here?

On a personal note I thought I’d share with you what is happening with all this wood my son, Johnathan and I brought home on June 20th. (Click HERE to see that post).

I’m excited to say my guys are making great progress on the project… my classroom!

Johnathan is always happy playing with his “toys” in the garage. (He built his garage cabinetry that you see in the background over his winter break.)

Over the weekend they finished the 12 x 12 paper storage unit.

and the base cabinet too! Wow that was fast!!!

I can’t tell you how excited I am to get painting! And you know how I dislike painting. LOL!!!

Right now, I’m trying to decide a new paint color for the classroom walls. After all, with this great cabinetry going in I need a new coat of paint, right?

I’ve got it narrowed down to two choices at this point.

A more bold one and a safe one. I’m trying to decide how crazy I want to be LOL!!! Pool Party or Sahara Sand ???? Hmmm…. what do you think? I’ve changed my mind so many times already, but these are the two I keep coming back to since I love the Island Indigo display item I already have.

What color would you choose?

Stamp Set: Seaside Shore (141622/141625)

Inks: Melon Mambo (115320), Crumb Cake (126975), and Soft Suede Classic Ink (126978)

Paper: Festive Birthday Designer Series Paper (141630), Melon Mambo (126948), Emerald Envy (141415), Crumb Cake (120953), Soft Sky (131203) and Whisper White Card stock (100730)

Framelits & Thinlits Organization 101

Posted on June 10, 2016 by Stamp with Jini

I love keeping my Framelit dies in easy to open clear mount cases and so I thought I’d share with you the new labels I created for the NEW 2016 Annual Catalog.

It’s always fun to freshen up my crafting space and these new inserts are colorful in addition to having the picture on the front so you know exactly where that framelit came from! (Something my old Framelit inserts didn’t have.)

Here is what the case looks like on the inside.

What’s that black sheet? Well believe it or not it is a Magnetic Vent Cover that I find in my local Building Supply big box store. They are inexpensive and work great for this.

I simply cut them with my trimmer and add a little of our Tear & Tape to the back and press. (They come in large 8 x 15 sheets so you can get several cases for your Framelits out of a package when you cut them to fit.) Perfect for holding those Framelits!

Want to get organized too? Well you’re in luck because today I’m sharing files for all the Framelits in the 2016 Annual Catalog that will fit into our Clear Mount cases (119105).

Check out this quick video I made showing you how to use the PDFs and cut them down.

Want to start? Order your Clear Mount Cases HERE. They come in groups of 4 and are perfect for organization of our Framelits in addition to other things too.

Then just print out the following files on Whisper White Card stock (100730) and your ready to go!

#imbringingbirthdaysback

Posted on February 26, 2016 by Stamp with Jini

Have you noticed that you don’t send or receive birthday cards like you used to? Would you like to receive a handmade card from me this year? #imbringingbirthdaysback is a new initiative that Shannon West started to bring back sending birthday cards.

Shannon West is part of the Stampin’ Up! home office team. And in November at OnStage shared with us her families’ personal birthday tradition of celebrating with one big bash – which I just loved, so when she launched her #imbringingbirthdaysback last month I couldn’t resist joining in the fun and jumping on board, and now you can too! Since this was one of my New Years resolutions for 2016 any how I’m just expanding it a bit by including you!

Here is a quick video of Shannon explaining what #imbringingbirthdaysback is all about.

So, if you have noticed that Facebook has basically ruined birthdays too and want to work with me to change that, let’s do it together! Starting March 1st I’ll be sending birthday cards out to not only my Birthday Club members, but also the first 100 people who send me their birthdays!!!

Want to be one of those who receive a hand stamped birthday card from me? It’s simple just send an email to me at [email protected] and give me the following information.

Name

Address

Date of birth

(I just need the month and day since we’re all 29. LOL! But you can include the year if you want to. US only)

(fine print: All info will be kept private and be used only for the purposes of sending you a birthday card)

I’m asking for yours – so here’s mine March 20th and my address is 2320 Dooley Road Clarkesville GA 30523 – just in case you wanted to know. 🙂

Oh, and if you’ve already celebrated your birthday this year, no worries I’ll be sending a full 12 months of cards out! So that’s it – email me your birthday and then just sit back and wait for your card to arrive in the mail!

I’m so excited to share this with you and let you join in the fun too that I’ve schedule a last minute event that allows everyone to make some fantastic cards, projects and receive a FREE stamp set too!!!

NEW #imbringingbirthdaysback Kick Off Event Scheduled
