New Catalog Organization

Posted on June 3, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

Ok you’ve seen the NEW 2013-2014 Catalog now and you’re wondering how to organize your craft area, right? Well I’ve got some wonderful items to help make this easier for you.

First you may have notice that there is no accessory index in the back again. Since this is a must for me (I’m old school I guess) I created one for you.

Accessories Index PDF

I also have 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. I know that Stampin’ Up! now lists the colors included on the tag board included in the package but this just works better for me than pulling out the pack when I get ready to create.

Labels – boy these make things so easy. I like to have everything consistent so with the NEW 2013-2014 Catalog including the Color Refresh this year I have created new labels for my hanging file folders, Refill drawers, and my Classic Ink Pads.

I know that the Classic Ink Pads now come with these great labels stuck to the bottom for us to use (which I love), but I like to also know the Color Collection so I still use them in addition to the ones already included. No OCD here, right? LOL

Labels for Stamp Pads and Refill drawers (Avery Labels 5160)

I punch these out with my Word Window Punch

And for your Card Stock I’ve created these labels. I use them on my hanging file folders in my drawers.

Have you ever had one of those days? Well yesterday was one for me that started with a flat tire and ended with finding out my husband took my camera that contained all the items I wanted to share with you this week to work. So although I didn’t share my Luau Sea Glass Jar Tutorial with you yesterday I’m happy to say I recreated it and that I’m able to today.

I made these cute little Luau Sea Glass Jars for my daughters Luau Graduation Party on Saturday. I set them around the food table as decorations filled with sand and flickering tea lights for a touch of ambiance.

They seemed to be a hit with the kids and they are sooo easy to make, you’re going to love it! The choices are endless –I’m already seeing cascading flowers made with our punches too, hmm. I think I need to make some more in a new In Colors that will be available tomorrow– lol.

I’m sure that you’ll find your own fun ways to use them. I’d love to hear about it when you do, so come back and share your creations with me. Leave me a comment when you make your own Luau Sea Glass Jars and tell me all about it and what you’ve used them for!

Bon Voyage Post It Note Holders

Posted on May 20, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

As promised in yesterday post I’ll be sharing how I made these cute little Bon Voyage Post It Note Holders with you today. A friend of mine showed me how to make these little holders during one of our demonstrator events. I thought they were just too cute so I was excited when I ran across them and decided to use them as my little gift to everyone who attended. After all who doesn’t need Post It Notes right?

I think these little Bon Voyage Post It Note Holders are sooo cute that not only am I using them for the Retirement Party but also as little gifts to my daughters friends who will be attending her graduation party – I thought the little piece of luggage was in keeping with them heading off to college too since they’ll be heading off to a new adventure in life.

I created these little Bon Voyage Post It Note Holders using some of our current retiring products. I chose Lucky Limeade card stock (item 122926) and my favorite Designer Series Paper, Floral District (item 126919). I love the colors in this Designer Series Paper; it’s just so bright and cheerful. Did you see the little tags? I used the Fabulous Phrases Stamp Set (item 117002/120501) and chose the words enjoy and life to stamp the two little tags with. I’m really like this stamp set, it gives you such great choices to create all kind of phrases.

You can learn how to make these little Bon Voyage Post it Note Holders by watching my latest video below:

Luau Punch Art

Posted on May 10, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

Yesterday I shared with you the first party invitations I created for my daughter’s luau themed graduation. Today I’ll share with you the final item I created for her to choose from my luau punch art card.

This card is actually 5″ x 7″ since I couldn’t get it down to the traditional 4 ¼” x 5 ½” like the others from yesterday. But since it was just the front and not a full card I was ok with that too. The My Digital Studio graduation announcements I made with the Embark Graduate Ensemble (click HERE) were post cards that were 5″ x 7″ also.

Want to know which of the four cards I made for her she chose? Drum roll please…… She narrowed it down for me the two cards based on what she liked

Then asked me which one was harder. She is so sweet. In the end we both decided that the punch art card was just too stinking cute! So we went with it. I know called me crazy, right? But this is my baby and the last one to graduate from high school for us. So why not do it up big….and I knew I had a stamping pal who would be game to help me out.

What does mass assembly luau punch art cards look like? Here are a couple of shots of Cindy and me working on parts of the cards – at least the first 40, LOL. We had a great time visiting and punching together!

My daughter later added another 30 for her friends she’d forgot to put on my list. I didn’t get to take a shot of them all together since I’d already mailed the first group but by then it was quick and easy and I had a lot of fun so I found it a great break and creating them rather relaxing. I know crazy – but they are sooo cute!

Want to know how these cute luau punch art cards were made? Just watch the video below.

Language of Friendship Filter Flowers Tutorial

Posted on April 23, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

I love the sentiment in the Language of Friendship stamp set (item 122750/122752) and thought it was perfect sentiment for this card I made recently for my friend’s birthday.

Do you like the filter flower on this card? If you follow my blog you’ve heard me mention before that I love our Stampin’ Spritzer (item 126185) and find them rather addictive, so I thought I would try them with our NEW White Creped Filter Paper (item 129393) from the Spring Catalog.

Since I’ve tried making my first filter flower they’ve become rather an obsession of mine; right now I’m finding that I’ve been adding them to everything – lol.

I’m having so much fun making these filter flowers that I wanted you to be able to join in the fun too! So here is my latest video tutorial – Stampin’ Spritzer Filter Flowers. I hope you’ll enjoy it.

And if you liked the video you’ll want a copy of my FREE Tutorial for my Language of Friendship card. You can just click on the link below to get your copy.

Wow, its Friday already – the week has really flown by. Today I’m going to share with you a new video showing you my Oh, Hello Pop ‘n CutsTreat Box that I recently did with the Blue Mountain Stampers during our monthly TEAM meeting.

I love the way this little Pop ‘n Cuts Treat Box turned out. It is a quick and easy project since you start with our Card Base Pop ‘n Cuts Die (item 130099). And the little box is really good sized so you can get a lot of great chocolate or other goodies into it. Hmm…I’m thinking it may be a great Treat Box for my daughter’s upcoming graduation party. I’ll have to get back to you on that one.

So without further ado…. here is my latest video – Pop ‘n Cuts Treat Box

By the Tide Tutorial

Posted on April 11, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

I fell in love with our Stampin’ Spritzers when they came out last summer. Have you had a chance to use them yet? If not you’ll want to check out this great project today using the By the Tide stamp set (item 129117/129120) from the Spring Catalog that uses our Stampin’ Spritzers.

Stampin’ Spritzer (item 126185) are inexpensive and soo much fun to use! And Stampin’ Spritzers just seemed like a perfect way to create a wonderful background for these water images. Watch my video to see how I created this card.

Dress Form Pop ’n Cuts Birthday

Posted on April 5, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

Recently I needed a birthday card for a friend and since I was having so much fun playing with the Pop ‘n Cuts Dress Form Die I thought I would make one for her using it.

I really have enjoyed playing with this group of coordinating products. I wasn’t really sure about them in the beginning but have quickly become addicted to “playing dress up” with them. There are so many fun things to do with the Pop ‘n Cuts Dies and Framelits. And of course Stampin’ Up! makes the deal even sweeter since there is the All Dressed Up Bundle (item 131096/131095) that you can buy and save 15% – Add that to the FREE SHIPPING OFFER this weekend and who can resist?

Wonder what was in the little bag I made for her? I wanted to pamper her a bit and knew she would enjoy something homemade so I made some of my yummy foot scrub. You can click HERE to get the recipe for it.

Here are close ups of the card itself-

and the outside –

I hope my friend enjoyed her card because I enjoyed making it for her and I know she’ll enjoy her foot scrub. If you missed my earlier post sharing my original design of this card, you can click HERE. Included in this post was a video showing you how to make these fun and flirty Paper Doily skirts.

I hope you’ll have fun playing dress up with your paper dolls too!
