Get Well Soup

Posted on July 9, 2015 by Stamp with Jini

Know someone who is under the weather? Check out our single stamp, Get Well Soup (138768). It is a great bold image that makes cards quick and easy when you want to cheer up that sick friend!

Trudy made this fun card and used a simple technique, paper piecing, to create the pattern on the bowl.

What’s paper piecing? It’s simply you simply stamp your image twice. Once on the focal point and then again on the Designer Series Paper, Cherry On Top. Cut out the part you want and adhere it to your image. Sound easy? It’s fun and a great way to add a pop of color to your card!

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Get Well Soup (138768)

Inks: Memento Tuxedo Black Pad (132708)

Paper: Cherry on Top Designer Series Paper Stack (138443), Cucumber Crush (138423), Watermelon Wonder (138245), and Whisper White card stock (100730)

Awesomely Artistic

Posted on July 8, 2015 by Stamp with Jini

Elegant is easy to achieve with the Awesomely Artistic stamp set (138694/139950) and a pack of the Timeless Elegance Designer Series Paper (138444).

What do you think? I love the look of this card that I received lately in my Black & White swap.

And to make sure you get a clean look when using embossing powder make sure to you your Embossing Buddy. It makes things sooo easy when embossing and eliminates all those little particles that hang around. Have you used an Embossing Buddy before? It’s simple, simply run it across your card stock, stamp and emboss!

While not entirely black & white I think the card is perfect for any occasion!

No Bones about It – Swapping Fun!

Posted on July 7, 2015 by Stamp with Jini

Do you like to see what others create? Well I do – an that is part of the fun getting together for our team meetings. Swapping and learning from each other. Here are three of the cards that I swapped last week at the meeting I told you about last Thursday.

This first card was given to me by Susan and it uses the stamp set No Bones About It (138756) and the Go Wild Designer Series Paper Stack (138756).

Fun right? This set is just, well… fun – and I couldn’t resist this great card!

How about Christmas in July? Check out this fun Christmas card that Janette gave me using the Gorgeous Grunge (130514/130517), Petite Pairs (128706/122497) and the Flower Shop stamp sets (130939/130942).

What a great way to use a non holiday set to create your holiday cards!

And finally a card from Teresa using the 2015-2017 In Color Envelope Paper (138312) and the Tree Builder Punch (138295).

I always enjoy getting together for these monthly meetings and learning new things while stamping together. I’ve got a lot of great swaps that I just received and want to share with you so stop on by again tomorrow.

Watercolor Wings

Posted on July 2, 2015 by Stamp with Jini

This is a quick post today since I’ve got tons to do today. But I wanted to share this card with you before I got started. I just love this new stamp set Watercolor Wings – it’s ALOT of fun to play with and since it is a 3 step stamp set and has a set of coordinating framelits dies. Whoo hoo! Lots of combinations can be made. Versatility and butterflies what’s not to love?

This card is one I’m using for my swap tonight at the Stamp Divas team meeting. I love that we get to share ideas with each other and will look forward to sharing the swap cards that I receive with you next week too!

Scroll down to see the full supply list.

On a personal note – This proud mom wants to share the latest on our marching daughter. We got our first photo from her late last night after her first DCI performance in Seattle with the Cascades. (I can’t tell you how happy we were to get something after 3 weeks of All Days – basically DCI boot camp. LOL)

Look at that huge smile on her face! She is having the experience of a life time. And while I don’t understand entirely why Kaitlin loves to be pushed to her physical limits and stand for hours on end in the hot sun. I’ve got to admire her passion and drive.

So I wanted to say thank you to all of you, my customers and friends, for helping make her dreams come true this summer. Every ready to mail card that you’ve purchase has helped get her to Seattle! Now we just have to get her home from Indianapolis in August.

Of course, it’s an on going fundraiser for Kaitlin and I’ve just added more cards to the box – so if you would like to browse next time you’re in my classroom Kaitlin would appreciate it!

I know some of you aren’t familiar with DCI. So if you are wondering what exactly she is doing – here is a taste of what DCI is all about. Not the best video, but it brought tears to this proud mom’s eyes to see them on the field for their first performance! Now I just have to try and figure out which one she is before they make it to the Atlanta Dome in July!!!

They’ve left Duvall, Washington last night and have hit the road to start their tour. They are doing about 19 cities in 30 days before they get to finals. Right now they are on some gym floor in Oregon sleeping and will perform tonight in the first of their DCI events. Whoo hooo! Isn’t it great to be young and adventurous?

Wild About Flowers

Posted on July 1, 2015 by Stamp with Jini

Have you seen the stamp set Wild About Flowers on page 74 of the 2015 Annual Catalog? I caught my eye immediately because of the great sentiments it included.

It’s a wonderful set for those retirement cards we need or even graduation. And since it is a two step stamp set the color options are endless.

Want to see the card I made with this set?

I was definitely in a Calypso Coral mood during my team retreat. This is one of several different projects I made using this color.

For this card I teamed it up with our flower pattern from the Subtles Collection Designer Series Paper Stack. (138437). If you’ve never bought a color collection stack before it is a great deal and gives you all kinds of options since there are 4 different patterns in all 10 colors! I love the new patterns that have been introduced this year too. After all who doesn’t like polka dots and stripes? And the script option is great too.

Did you notice the Calypso Coral 1/2″ Seam Binding that I stapled to the top of the Ornate Tag Topper? Yep, you can get this at a deal this week since it is part of the Bonus Weekly Deals this week. But hurry since the price is good only while supplies last!

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Wild About Flowers (138728)

Inks: Mossy Meadow (133645) and Calypso Coral Classic Ink (126983)

Paper: Subtles Collection Designer Series Paper Stack (138437), Whisper White Thick Card Stock (140272), Blushing Bride (131198) and Whisper White Card stock (100730)

Nautical Fun & Bonus Deals!!!

Posted on June 30, 2015 by Stamp with Jini

It’s summer and as it heats up that means the beach and pool time. And since my summer memories always include Lake Michigan, when I ran across these memo pads I couldn’t resist picking up a few to make little gifts for some friends along with one for myself of course.

Red, white and blue – nautical colors and perfect for these little note pads. I let the note pads dictate which stamp sets I used. And the images went perfectly with the Open Sea and the Sea Street stamp sets.

And check out this one that I made for my friend Janie who deserves a bit of pampering lately. I hope it will remind her of some fond memories from her trip to New England last year.

What do you think? Fun right? I’m hoping my friends will like them.

Team Fun & More

Posted on June 25, 2015 by Stamp with Jini

I was trying to be good today and get my gardening done before it got too hot. So, happily I can say I now have the mound of squash an zucchini off my kitchen counter top and into the freezer. That is until we pick again tonight. Half of the freezer is full of squash now so I’m thinking… planting another round isn’t necessary. My husband, Larry was a bit worried we wouldn’t have enough since the plants are already dying. I’ve got about 80 containers filled with my Baked Squash Recipe now. LOL! (Click HERE to see my recipe that I shared last year.)

So I’m taking a break and thought I’d share the great cards I made during some Team meetings last month. Part of the fun is sharing ideas, like I showed you yesterday and part of the fun is getting to stamp together.

These first couple of cards I stamped during my SINKS team meeting. They both use Guy Greetings (138825/138828/137178). Like I’ve said before a great and versatile set to have on hand! Of course, for me these two images are great. Don’t you love cars? I know my guys do and the anchor just makes me smile.

These next cards I made during our Stamp Diva’s meeting. I love the fact we always learn techniques like this first card using the Butterfly Basics Stamp Set (138813/1387816/137154).

And these next cards were taken directly from the catalog with some minor changes based on the supplies on hand. Can you spot them in the 2015 Annual Catalog?

And I thought this card using our Petite Pairs (128706/122497) and Fancy Foil Designer Vellum (133363) was fun to make. Sometimes I forget just how much fun vellum is.

Which one is your favorite? Why not leave me a comment and let me know? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Would you like 2 FREE stamp sets?

If you’ve ever thought about joining my team, the Blue Mountain Stampers or learn more about becoming a Demonstrator and getting a discount on your stamping supplies I’d love to speak with you.

Swaps & more

Posted on June 24, 2015 by Stamp with Jini

One of the things that I enjoy about being a demonstrator is stamping with other and sharing ideas. So today I thought I’d share with you some of the swaps that I received during May’s meetings. After all isn’t it fun to see what others are doing with the same stamp set you may have?

Check out this first card from my friend Anna using the Zoo Babies stamp set (130453/130456).

And how about this one that Terry gave me using the Butterfly Basics (138813/138816/137154) and Sassy Salutations stamp sets (132070/126707).

And who doesn’t need thank you cards? Here is one from Kathy using the Another Thank You Photopolymer stamp set (136835). This set has such a great selection of image sizes to choose from.

And don’t you love these colors together? Crushed Curry and Blackberry Bliss along with the Guy Greetings Stamp set (138825/138828/137178). I’m sure you know I love this set – since it has such great images and wonderful sentiments!

And while these two cards use some items that are no longer available they were such great cards I thought I’d share them with you anyhow.

This first one uses the Flower Shop stamp set (130939/130942) and is simply elegant done in a shades of brown.

And do you see the NEW embossing folder, Boho Chic (138286). What a great texture it adds to this card, right?

If you have ever thought about joining my team and becoming a Demonstrator June is a great time to do so. Not only do you get $125 of product for just $99 – You’ll also get to choose 2 FREE stamps sets! Want more information? You can click HERE to learn more about my team, the Blue Mountain Stampers.
