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?
Whew! What did I tell you too darling right? If you love this card you can order the supplies I’ve used and earn the stamp set for FREE! That’s right, free. When you place any qualifying order during January and February you can choose a FREE item from our Sale-a-bration Brochure. But you’ll want to hurry since you only have 2 months to earn all the fantastic free goodies in the brochure instead of the normal 3 months we’ve had in the past.
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.
Floating & Fluttering Thank You Card Video Tutorial
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.
Today’s project is a fun one using the Dragonfly Dreams Bundle that you can use all year long since it holds a mini calendar.
The fun fold is quick and easy to make. Want to make one yourself? Why not check out my tutorial below?

So what do you think? Like the project? The Dragonfly Garden Bundle is part of the Dandy Garden Suite of Products. So it’s got tons of products to create wonderful projects.
And did you know that I’m offering a January Card Class using the Dragonfly Garden Bundle? And did you also know it’s free when you place a qualifying order using the Class Host Code? Yes, I said free! And I’m offering it both in person and Online. You can CLICK HERE to learn more about my Dragonfly Garden Class or stop by my Calendar of Events to see all my upcoming Classes.

So what sets our machines apart from the rest? Here are some of our favorite features:
Durable machines with high-quality results. The solid steel construction frame and rubber feet that securely grip the work surface produce crisp, clean, precise cutting and beautifully detailed embossing.
Easy to use. The machines and tools are designed for an intuitive die-cutting and embossing experience. For example, all plates are labeled with a number and are color coded for easy reference and use when building your sandwich.
Simple to store. The platforms on both machines fold for space-saving storage and they look pretty too–the sleek, clean design suits any crafting space.
Portable. You can use both machines at home or on the go with their folding platforms and ergonomic carrying handles. Making it great if you like to attend crops or other crafting get togethers.

If you love Stampin’ Up! like I do – let me share our Designer Series Paper with you. If you were to purchase all of the Designer Series Paper by yourself it would be a lot more, but by joining my share you’ll be joining other paper crafters to get a taste of all the papers at a fraction of the cost. And who doesn’t love that? The share price is based on the price listed in the Stampin’ Up! 2021 January – June Mini Catalog.
What will I get? This Share includes the following:
Love You Always Specialty DSP: 6 x 12 of 3 double sided patterns
True Love DSP: 6×12 of 6 double sided patterns
Hydrangea Hill DSP: 6×12 of 6 double sided patterns
Dragonfly Dreams DSP: 6×6 of 12 double sided patterns

Cost $32 (plus $8.05 for shipping)
You are welcome to get more than one share; spots are not held until payment is received.
How to Reserve yours?
You’ll need to email me (StampwithJini@gmail.com) or call me (706-754-7124) to hold your spot ASAP, since there isn’t a lot of time before I need to place the order on January 5th so that you can get yours as soon as possible after the catalog goes live.
EMAIL me directly at StampwithJini@gmail.com with your information listed below to save your spot in the share: (Note: For multiple shares/Swatch Books – contact me for a shipping quote… Flat Rate Envelope can hold quite a bit).
Please include the following information in your email:
1. Full Name
2. Mailing Address (US only)
3. Indicate how many Designer Series Paper Shares you would like to reserve
4. Email for PayPal invoicing
When your Designer Series Paper Share order fills, I will email a PayPal invoice for payment process (around December 28th). I will then place my order with Stampin’ Up! once payment is received for the share/swatch book.
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 Designer Series Paper Shares & Swatch Books, my order will be placed on January 5th, 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 5th. However, if there are back orders, Designer Series Paper Shares & Swatch Books will ship when everything has been received.
Now you have 2 great options!
Click HERE to see more information about the 2021 Mini Design Tool & Swatch Books that is also available for ordering.
If ordering both the Designer Series Paper Share and Design Tools the Items will be invoiced and shipped together so you pay shipping just once.
