Number of Years

Posted on February 24, 2016 by Stamp with Jini

It’s been a very blustery day here in North Georgia and the yard is sopping wet from all the rain we’ve had today. The bands of rain coming through earlier today have been pretty intense. The power of nature always amazes me. Just a few minutes into the downpour and I watched the muddy red “rivers” form in the fields around us and our yard as the water headed to the lower ground and the creek that is close by. Hopefully as you read today’s post your dry and safe.

Anyhow on to the fun stuff!. Today’s cards use the Number of Years stamp set (140653) found on page 11 in the Occasions Catalog. While they both use the same set they are two very different cards.

This first card was given to me by my friend Anna. It’s bright and cheerful and for some reason reminds me of sock hops for some reason. (Odd I know LOL!)

I love the color combination of Basic Black and Melon Mambo. Anna used the L arge Numbers Framelits (140622) to create the focal point on the front. You can get both when you order the Bundle (140811) at a 15% discount.

Open the card and you’ll get a surprise – It’s a fancy fold.

Anna also used our Everyday Chic Designer Series Paper (138445) and the cute little Party Punch Pack (140608) too!

This second card was created by Kate and uses the flower images from the set.

I LOVE the soft background Kate created. It’s soft and subtle.

So which style do you like best? Why not leave me a comment and let me know which is your favorite?

Helping Me Grow

Posted on February 19, 2016 by Stamp with Jini

Check out these two very different cards made with the Helping Me Grow stamp set (140764). This set contains some beautiful floral images and great sentiments too.

This first card is done in Watermelon Wonder and uses the beautiful Birthday Bouquet Designer Series Paper (140557). Irene used the Work of Art stamp set (134111/134114) to create the swoosh of color on the flowers – pretty cool, right? The Fluttering Embossing Folder (139304) added some texture to the background. And the Bitty Butterfly Punch (129406 – part of the Weekly Deals) was layered on top of the Mint Macaron Elegant Butterfly piece (127526).

This second card uses an embossed resist technique and is much softer feeling even thought the Tempting Turquoise is part of the Brights Collection.

Janie Embossed the flowers in White Embossing Powder and then sponged Mint Macaron, Pacific Point and Tempting Turquoise. The sentiment comes from the Wetlands stamp set (126695/126697) and is placed on a 2″ Circle that is layered on our 2 3/8″ Circle Punch. A quick and easy way to create a focal point. Can you see the tiny pearls she used to dot the i’s? A little touch of elegance.

Hello Sunshine

Posted on February 12, 2016 by Stamp with Jini

Today’s cards were some that I received in swaps and are created using products that are limited time Sale-a-bration items. I think these two stamp sets are a wonderful addition to any stampers collection since their sentiments cover all kinds of occasions.

These first two cards are created with the Hello stamp set (141240/141243). Joanne gave me this bright and cheerful Hello card. It also uses our Sale-a-bration Perfectly Artistic Designer Series Paper (141021) which is one of the three products only available until February 15th.

And this card uses our yummy Mint Macaron In Color along with Blackberry Bliss.

I love the way that Kate tucked the Silver Metallic Thread (138402) behind the layered Flower Medallion (137417) and Pansy Punches (130698). And can you see the embellishment that adds a bit of shine to the center of the flower? It’s one of our Itty Bitty Accents Epoxy Stickers (137856).

And here are some samples using the Sky Is the Limit stamp set (141282/141349). This first one Roxie designed for Valentine’s Day. It uses the Love Blossoms Designer Series Paper Stack (140548).

And another from Tanisha. I love the quick and easy clouds she sponged for the background.

And these next two use the Sale-a-bration Perfectly Artistic Designer Series Paper (141021).

And finally this card from Joanne She used one of my favorite Designer Series Paper Stacks from the Occasions Catalog, Going Places (140581). I just love the White Vellum cardstock (101856) propeller and Neutrals Collection Candy Dots (130934) she added to it.

Something so small – just makes this a special little card.

Did you know that there were just 3 more days to earn 3 of our Sale-a-bration items? Pages 16 – 19 include two stamp sets and some beautiful Designer Series Paper that are only available to earn until February 15th after that they’ll be gone – so why not get your favorites before it’s too late.

Remarkable You

Posted on February 11, 2016 by Stamp with Jini

Here are three great cards that I wanted to share with you. All of the use the Remarkable You stamp set (139891/139894). Each of theme while using the same stamp set have a completely different feel.

This first one is soft and subtle. Char used the Aqua Painter Beach Technique to remove the color from the lilies before adding some soft color with our Stampin’ Write Markers.

And did you notice the little Elegant Butterfly (127526)? This vellum butterfly was stamped in Daffodil Delight using the Papillon Potpourri stamp set (132058/123759) and then punched out. It adds a bit of dimension since it looks like the butterfly just landed next to the greeting.

This next card a a bolder feel to it since the colors used are Watermelon Wonder and Mossy Meadow.

And finally this card is done in Tempting Turquoise, which always makes me smile. Nancy used White Embossing Powder to make her flower pop and then added a bit of Dazzling Diamonds to it’s petals.

So which one is your favorite? Why not leave me a comment and let me know.
