Greatest Journey & Faux Layers

Posted on April 25, 2023 by Stamp with Jini

Today’s card uses a fun and simple technique to create a wonderful look of multiple layers that create a scene using the Greatest Journey Dies (160593).

I’ve used simple masking, ink and my Blending Brushes for a backdrop for this card that I plan on using for a graduation card. I think the sentiment is perfect for that!

Want to see how I created it? I’ve got a video and a PDF tutorial for you today.

Floral Fun Fold Card Tutorial

Posted on April 20, 2023 by Stamp with Jini

Today’s card uses one of my favorite fun folds since it makes choosing the colors I want to use soooo easy!

Choose a piece of your favorite Designer Series Paper like I did here with the Enjoy the Journey (160586) and start building your card.

Since this piece used the colors Pumpkin Pie I chose that for the base of the card and then used the packages coordination for the mats. For the image I used the sample in the Mini to inspire me.

When you open the card you’ve got the full Designer Series Paper panel was was peeking out of the card when it was closed and a signature panel.

Want to see how I created this card? I’ve whipped up a quick video tutorial for you.

And how about a PDF tutorial with instructions, like, and a complete list of supplies. Print it and have a handy reference for when you get ready to create!

Let’s say goodbye Cheerful Basket and more

Posted on April 6, 2023 by Stamp with Jini

Today’s cards all have something in common. Not only do they have adorable little animals in the set, but they are also on the Last Chance List. The Last Chance List…once a year products are retired from the Annual Catalog. Why is that important? Because these items are only available while supplies last or until May 1st.

I’m going to start todays cards with the Cheerful Basket (158674) stamp set

This stamp set does have coordinating dies and also comes in a bundle for savings. This set not only has fun this fun basket but also has lots of images to fill the basket with along with all occasion sentiments too. This first card is a fun fold that will fold flat for mailing.

And this next card uses the same set and the sweet little kitten image.

The Design a Daydream Designer Series Paper (Host 159161) has been used for both these cards. This next card uses the bright and cheerful Polished Pink and Pale Papaya to create this lovely friendship card. The Hello Beautiful (158041)

stamp set was used and the Beautiful Shapes Dies (158046) were used to cut out the sentiments.

And now for some Dies that are on the last chance list – great on their own. This next card uses a lovely reinker technique to create the backdrop for the Amazing Thanks Dies (157816).

And today’s final card uses the Delicate Edges Dies (159180) along with our Painted Labels Dies (151605) and Peaceful Moments (151595) stamp set

Don’t forget to stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing a Tutorial with you using a fun fold.

Saying Goodbye to Wisteria Wishes and more

Posted on April 5, 2023 by Stamp with Jini

One of the things that I was amazed by when I first moved to Georgia years ago was the Wisteria hanging from the pine trees along the road. That an kudzu seemed to be everywhere as I drove around the area. So when I saw the Wisteria Wishes (159434) stamp set. Done in Pool Party and Highland Heather.

It also pulls in Gorgeous Grape that mats the sentiment and image along with the lovely Fresh Freesia Open Weave Ribbon (155615) and Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels (158130). And this next card also uses the Highland Heather to create this lovely card

using the Last Chance List stamp set Uniquely Artistic (158935) and the Pastel Pearls (154571). Next is the Dragonfly Garden (154411) with it’s coordinating Dragonflies Punch (154240)

And my final card I wanted to share with you is the lovely stamp set Honeybee Home (157943) and the coordinating Honeybee Bloom Dies (157952)

The Tailor Made Tags Dies (155563), Scalloped Contour Dies (155560), and Hive 3D Embossing Folder (157955) add interest and texture to this card.

Stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing some more projects with you using sets from the Last Chance List.
