Party Pandas Valentine Nugget Treats

Posted on January 25, 2018 by Stamp with Jini

Want a quick and easy treat for Valentine’s Day? How about this chocolate filled treat made with the two of our Sale-a-bration items? Just one pack of the Bubbles & Fizz Designer Series Paper will make quite a few of these goodies. So why not grab a bag of Nuggets and get started?

Here are the instructions – the supply list is below for you.

Cut 5 strips of Designer Series Paper 1″ x 3″ (make sure the pattern is going the direction you want. For mine I lined the hearts up along the top edge and cut 1″ strips that then I cut into 4 3 inch sections.)
Using your Glue Dots add one to each end of the Designer Series Paper and place one against the Nugget and wrap the Designer Series Paper all the way around. The second Glue Dot will seal the other end down.
Slide the nuggets into cello bag.
Cut a piece of Blushing Bride Card stock 2 1/4″ x 4 1/2″; score at 2 1/4″
Stamp your sentiment in Basic Black Archival Ink along the bottom of card stock.
Fold the sentiment piece in half and slip over the top of the cello bag and staple. (Your scallop circle will hide the staple on the front.)
Run a piece of Calypso Coral card stock through the Big Shot using the scallop circle Framelits die.
Attach the scallop circle to the nugget topper, leaving it hang a bit above the top.
Stamp your panda image onto Whisper White card stock using Basic Black Archival Ink.
Color in heart using your Powder Pink Stampin’ Write Marker.
Cut panda out using the circle Framelits die.
Adhere the panda image to the scallop circle card stock using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

That’s it! Quick and easy – now you just need to share your treat!

More Sure Do Love You

Posted on January 22, 2018 by Stamp with Jini

Valentines Day is right around the corner and so I’ve got a couple more cards to share with you.

Both these cards use the fine heart image, but they have such different feels to them.

I really like the way this heart shape was made into a wreath and the way the Wood Texture Designer Series Paper is used for the background – gives it a more country look. Do you recognize the little flower? It’s from the Lots of Lavender Stamp set that you can earn during Sale-a-bration for FREE with a $50 purchase.

Stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing a video tutorial with you for a fun Valentine project.

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Sure Do Love You (*145763/14566)

Accessories: Lots to Love Box Framelits Dies (*145653)

*Lots to Love Bundle (145965/145966)

Sweet Soiree Box Video Tutorial

Posted on January 19, 2018 by Stamp with Jini

Love boxes? Here is a quick and easy one you can make to hold small items. I made this box recently to hold a gift that my Team received – a scissors charm.

The Sweet Soiree Specialty Designer Series Paper is breath taking with the silver foil and one of my first purchases when I was able to do my OnStage Product Purchase Premiere that I shared with you back in November. The package has 12 patterns and each one of the 6 double sided patterns has a side with silver foil on it. So you’ve got lots of designs to choose from!

This adorable little box is so quick and easy to make that I couldn’t resist doing a video tutorial for you so you can make some too.

Sweet Soiree Box Video Tutorial

Easy? I’ve given you a complete supply list below for the box. And would you like to know how I made these charms?

Shrinky Dinks! Yes, you heard me right – a throw back to our childhood. I love watching them curl up and shrink. LOL!

Simply stamp the images from the Crafting Forever stamp set (143955/143958) onto the Shrinky Dinks using Basic Black Archival Ink and color them with Stampin’ Blends or Sharpies. (Be careful not to touch the line image or it may smear.)

I fussy cut the scissors and used a circle punch for the sentiments. After that I punched a 1/8″ circle using my Handheld Circle Punch. Heated according to the directions and then added them to a jump ring so that I could add them to the premade holder.

Quick and easy – since I made the scissors different colors we can all tell our scissors apart now!

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Lovely Wishes (145924)

Inks: Old Olive (126953) and Berry Burst Classic Ink (144083)

Paper: Sweet Soiree Specialty Designer Series Paper (145664), Old Olive (100703), and Whisper White Card stock (100730)

Accessories: Personal Trimmer (126889) and Silver 3/8″ Metallic-Edge Ribbon (144213)

Posted on January 18, 2018 by Stamp with Jini

Today’s card is one that we used the new Stamparatus to create at my Team Retreat over the weekend – but no worries if you don’t have yours yet you can still make the card. (The Stamparatus just makes things faster since you only have to do the placement once.)

It’s got a fun fold and I think perfect for any age with its bright cheerful colors.

This card uses the Picture Perfect Party Designer Series Paper so it gives you lots of wonderful patterns to choose from!

Winter Weekend Team Fun

Posted on January 17, 2018 by Stamp with Jini

This past weekend my Team, the Blue Mountain Stampers, gathered for a few days of stamping, sharing and fun. We gather 3 times a year for these retreats and it is always a blast!

Cindy, gave everyone these sweet little Valentine boxes.

This time there were 7 of us – here is a early morning shot of the space on Saturday morning before the fun began.

This time on Saturday after our Shoe box Swap I introduced the Dice Game – and it seemed to be a hit!

Have you ever played? This game is always fun and it is fast paced!

Here are the rules. There are pans with 2 dice in them, all the prizes are put in the center of the circle. You roll the dice and then pass the pan, if you roll a double you get to choose a prize.

Then after all the prizes are gone from the center the timer is set. Then you start the game again, but this time you steal from each others piles of prizes. Seems there is always one that is highly sought after and is stolen frequently!

When the timer goes off the game is done and everyone gets to open their prizes!

We had so much fun doing this I’m sure we’ll be including it again!

And now on to the cards.

Want to see what we made in our Shoe box Swap? Everyone made great cards to share.

This first one uses the Petal Palette bundle (145973/145974. If you love this bundle of products check out my Class & Events, we’ll be using this in my February 3rd class to create a wonderful stationary box and cards. CLICK HERE for my Calendar of Events.

And here is a elegant card made using the Hold on to Hope bundle (145969/145970) and the Petal Garden Designer Series Paper Stack (144168).

I love the thinlits in the bundle – this larger cross has beautiful detail and the delicate cross in the set not only cuts the cross out, but also embosses a design on it.

And this final card uses the Brusho Crystal Colours (144101) and the Beautiful Day stamp set (145912/145915) found in the Occasions Catalog. Want to learn more about this fun new product? Check out my March class HERE.

Blue Mountain Stampers Swaps

Today is the beginning of my Blue Mountain Winter Weekend Retreat and I’m looking forward to getting together with my team for a full weekend of crafting. What could be better, right?

So today I thought I’d share some of my team members swaps from the January Team Meeting. I can’t wait to see what they’ve been up to in the last couple of weeks!

And at our January Meeting we had a lot of fun working with the new Stamparatus too! (I’m so lucky to have received one of the first Stamparatus tools since I’m part of the Leader to Leader program who helped design this.)

I’m looking forward to sharing it with you in my January Card Class so you can see and use it too!

I’m working on some videos for you and hope to be posting them soon.

So stop by next week and see what we’ve been up to. Better go – lots to do before the fun starts this afternoon. LOL!

Beautiful Heartfelt Blooms

Posted on January 11, 2018 by Stamp with Jini

When I first saw this stamp set at OnStage in Salt Lake I knew it would be a have to have for me, and so I thought everyone would love to make a card using the set for my Occasions Kick Off. The image is just breath taking and so realistic. Stampin’ Up! currently has a patent pending on these these type of stamps. They are photographic realistic and have tons of depth – they are called Distinktive stamps.

Beautiful, right? I love the Powder Pink and Berry Burst colors that were used, just perfect!

Believe it or not all you have to do is ink up this stamp – it does all the work for you. The stamp lays down different opacities of ink giving a deep rich image.

Want to make your own? As promised here is the tutorial for you today.

Heartfelt Blooms Card Tutorial (printable) PDF
