Field of Flowers & the Confetti Flowers Border Punch

Posted on July 23, 2020 by Stamp with Jini

Love nature? Love flowers? If so this Bundle might be a great option for you. Not only does this stamp set have some wonderful images it also has some great all occasions sentiments.

I just love this little dragonfly image that comes with it too!

Soft and sweet this first card uses Rococo Rose, Balmy Blue and Smoky Slate for it’s color pallet. Some texture was added with the Greenery Embossing Folders (152716) along the bottom. Speaking of which this next card also uses the Greenery Embossing Folder. Different pattern you say? The Greenery Embossing Folders is a set of 2 slightly smaller folders giving you even more options!

Like using multiple colors? Then you’ll love how the Confetti Flowers Border Punch (152723) allows you you change up color on the flowers easily.

This final card done mono-chromatically in our Magenta Madness uses the board to create a negative space that allows the Designer Series Paper to shine through.

So what do you think? You’ll find this set on page 117 of our Annual Catalog. Want a 2020-2021 Annual Catalog? Contact me today to learn how you can get yours!

Just a quick reminder about my Online Store that’s IMPORTANT :

Stampin’ Up! is launching our new websites on August 4th. The links taking your directly to the product in my Online Store may not work as normal. They may simply work by taking you to my store but not to the product itself. If you have any issues placing an order with me please let me know. I’m happy to help.

Please remember these two very important things: When placing an order in the Online store: Please confirm you are shopping with me and that my name is listed as your Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator (The new system will allow you to check out as a guest and bypass choosing a demonstrator. If that is the case I won’t get your order information and I won’t be able to mail catalogs, gifts, etc.). My name is listed as Jini Merck and I live in Clarkesville, Georgia.

Since this is a NEW website, your bookmark and auto fill passwords may not work.

If that is the case you’ll want to create a new bookmark and sign in that way, saving it again to your password safe if you use one. Also, because of this your password may not work. If that happens you will need to reset it. Because it is a new website and we are using a new email system for it, when you go to reset your password, the link emailed to you may go in your spam folder. So you’ll want to check that if you don’t see it right shortly after you request it.

Please know that I’m here to help in any way as always. There may be a few bugs to start with in the new Online Store, so if you prefer for me to place your order for you I can. We can get through this together as always.

Thanks and as always I appreciate you choosing me as your Demonstrator!

Positive Thoughts

Posted on July 22, 2020 by Stamp with Jini

It’s summer and the combination of red, white, and blue are perfect for creating summer time vibes for your next project. Check out this card created using our Real Red, Misty Moonlight and of course Whisper White.

It just makes me smile. How about you? The Positive Thoughts stamp set was teamed up with the Classic Label Punch (141491), Stitched Shapes Dies (152323) and of course the coordinating Nature’s Thoughts Dies (153856). A little texture was added to the Misty Moonlight with the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder (152725).

These next two cards use a soft subtle pallet – color how different it makes a project feel! This first card uses our Petal Pink, Soft Sea Foam, and Mint Macaron. And can you believe the center of the flowers are Flirty Flaming?

A little texture was created using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder (152178). And for this next card the Scripty 3D Embossing Folder (149634) adds a elegant texture to the Soft Sea Foam background.

The images were stamped using Gray Granite, Pear Pizzazz, Highland Heather and Blushing Bride. And check out the cool look of the large rectangle die which adds a lovely detail to the edge of the card stock.

So, which card do you like? Bright and Bold or soft and subtle? Why not leave me a comment and let me know?

Celebrating Sunflowers with our 2020 In Colors

Posted on July 21, 2020 by Stamp with Jini

Sunflowers. Ahh, how they bring back memories. As a child my mother would plant sunflowers in her garden and though out the growing season I would stand next to them to mark their growth. They quickly towered over me and I was always amazed by at just how tall they would get. My mother even took a picture of me wearing my favorite yellow rain jacket and hat next to them one summer when I was about 3. When they were done for the season, we dried them so that we could let the birds eat the seeds during the long winter months in Wisconsin. I guess the fact that I was 3 might be one of the reasons they seem so tall! LOL! But when I saw this set it made me think of that picture from so long ago.

So today I thought I’d share some cards using our new 2020 In Colors made with this stamp set and it’s coordinating dies. These first two cards use the Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper (145286) to add to the design.

Done in Just Jade and Bumblebee. And this next one uses our Misty Moonlight and Magenta Madness to make the sunflower pop!

The tag was done using our new Lovely Labels Pick a Punch (152883). And if you need a quick card check out this next one using the Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon (146912) and Blends to color the center.

And last but not least a fun technique card.

First the images were stamped in Bleach, the leaves cut out, and then the card was assembled. This simple technique is quite striking and I love how the beach works differently with each color card stock. The In Color Designer Series Paper was used for the pop of Magenta Madness on the dies. and of course those fun little In Color Enamel Dots. I just love them with their glossy shine.

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

Spot Light on the yummy Cinnamon Cider

Posted on July 17, 2020 by Stamp with Jini

Cinnamon Cider is a warm rich color and it is number four of the five 2020-2021 In Colors that I’ve been highlight this week. I love the surprise of the In Color Collections when they are announced each year and they make great additions to our color families since they are right on trend. I’m not sure why I’m always surprised when I find them in the stores while shopping for home products and clothing. My daughter always rolls her eyes when I identify the color by name. Is that what you do when you see something displayed in the stores think of it by the Stampin’ Up! color name? Anyhow…Want to see some cards?

I’ll start with a couple of cards that have been made using our World of Good Suite of Products found on page 24 of the 2020 Annual Catalog. This is a very popular suite perfect for stamping and even scrap booking since it covers all kind of events with it’s sentiments and images. And while we aren’t traveling a great deal right now, this Suite gives us a great way to catch up on past travels with the World of Good Memories and More Card Pack.

These monochromatic cards are done in Cinnamon Cider and Basic Black. They also use our World of Good Specialty Designer Series Paper (152491) and Old World Paper 3D Embossing Folder (153200) found in the Suite of products.

Dandelion Wishes (151345) has been used for this next card along with our In Color Designer Series Paper, Twill Ribbon, and fun Enamel Dots.

The lovely Tasteful Touches Bundle was used to create this wonderful card using Very Vanilla (101650) and Vellum Card stock (101856).

How about this card using the Birds & Branches Bundle (154107)? The Bundle was used to create this next card along with the lovely wood grain from the In Good Taste Designer Series paper (152494).

And the final card today was made using the Many Mates Bundle (154083). I really like the clean graphic look.

Whew! Lot’s of cards today with a spot light on Cinnamon Cider. I really like cards like this that are Monochromatic. They are great for all kinds of stampers. Add black or white and you’ve got a winner no matter what color you choose!

Enjoy!

Supplies:

This first card uses the Tasteful Touches Bundle (154098) and is teamed up with our Basic Black Card stock (121045) and ink. A little texture has been added with the Tasteful Textures 3D Embossing Folder (152718) and In Color Designer Series Paper. I think would make a great masculine card. What do you think?

This next card also uses the Tasteful Touches Bundle but it’s been teamed up with our Whisper White card stock this time.

And how about this card done in Basic Gray (121044) and Bumblebee?

It uses our Well Written Dies (151816) found on page 183 of the Annual Catalog. The Subtles 3D Embossing Folder (151775) adds some texture to the card.

This final card has more of a feminine feel to it since it uses the Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper (152486) and Early Espresso Classic Ink (147114/119789).

The sentiment is from the Floral Essence Stamp Set (149450) and it’s been cut out with the Stitched So Sweetly Dies (151690).
