Holiday Frame Embossing Folder

Posted on December 19, 2012 by Stamp with Jini

I love our Holiday Frame Embossing Folder in the Holiday Catalog. It makes a great card front. Here are two quick and easy cards that I received in a swap.

This first card from Carol Gatton uses the Joyous Celebrations stamp set and Dazzling Details on the Holiday Frame Embossing folder. Can you see the glimmer?

Colleen Dewey gave me this next card I love the “bling” that the Champaign Glimmer Paper gives it! Do you love our Champaign Glimmer Paper (item #127885 $4.95) in the Holiday Catalog? I know I do and it’s a great addition to the Red (item #121790) and Silver Glimmer (item #124005) Papers from our 2012 Catalog (page 160).

Remember items in our Holiday Catalog are only available for a limited time. So why not get your favorite Holiday Catalog items now before its too late. Items are only available until January 2nd.

Chock-Full of Cheer Mittens

Posted on December 12, 2012 by Stamp with Jini

Mittens always make me think of my Grandma since she was always bundling me up for those cold winter days in Wisconsin where I grew up. As she wrapped the scarf around my neck I was always worried I wouldn’t be able to move. The memory makes me smile every time I think of myself and my siblings waddling out of the house to go play.

So when I saw the Chock Full of Cheer stamp set with its cute little mitten and the matching Mitten Builder Punch it made me think of those childhood memories. How about you? Do you have a special memory that includes mittens?

Here is a great card made with the Chock Full of Cheer stamp set that I received during a Regional swap from Karen Paramore during the Chattanooga Regional earlier this fall.

And another card that uses our Mitten Builder Punch. Remember when your mittens were attached like this with a cord so you wouldn’t lose one? Hmm…maybe I’m dating myself. Maybe Beth Siegel who gave me this card remembers them too.

Full of Blessings

Posted on November 22, 2012 by Stamp with Jini

Happy Thanksgiving everyone – I hope that everyone will have a wonderful day. It has been a tough year around here at times but I’m so thankful for my husband and children. They can be frustrating, but they are the best part of my personal life.

Stamping is also a big part of my life and I wanted to say thank you to all of you for being part of it. I never thought when I went to my first Sale-a-bration Stamp a Stack with my girlfriends, Michelle and Becky, that stamping would enrich my life so much. So I am also very grateful for my customers, TEAM members, and for all of the friendships that I have made through my stamping business! Without you I couldn’t have continued my journey with Stampin’ Up! and been able to share what I love with you.

Although our family will celebrate our Thanksgiving on Saturday this year since my husband is working today and can’t be with us. My children will be home and I’m looking forward to spending some time together with them decorating the house as a surprise for Larry. He is a bit of a Grinch when it comes to the decorating of the house – not his cup of tea per say. Johnathan loves to decorate and bake with me during the holidays – so he’ll be my partner in crime! Since Kaitlin is a senior this year and Johnathan 20, I know that this time together is precious.

Today’s card, Full of Blessings, is one that I received during Regional in Chattanooga this fall from fellow demonstrator Bonnie Duncan and I thought you might enjoy it.

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Full of Blessings

Inks: Jet Black StazOn Ink and Pumpkin Pie

Paper: Orchard Harvest DSP, Pumpkin Pie, Early Espresso, Whisper White

Accessories: Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze, Garden Green and Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Write Markers, Always Artichoke ½” Seam Binding Ribbon, Big Shot, Labels Collection Framelits, and Stampin’ Sponge

Googly Ghouls Regional Swaps

Posted on October 8, 2012 by Stamp with Jini

Halloween is right around the corner and I wanted to share with you some of my favorite swaps that I received from the Chattanooga Regional over the next few days.

I’m sorry to say I don’t know who made these two cards since they didn’t sign the back. Both of these cards use the Googly Ghouls stamp set from the Holiday Catalog. The little characters in this set are just so sticking cute! And when you add our coordinating Googlies self adhesive googly eyes they are a lot of fun.

This first one I thought was really different and striking. It uses our Big Shot and the Tasteful Trim Die along with the Ghoulish Googlies Designer Kit. I love the way Boooo sentiment has the Googlies added to it.

This second card also uses the Goggly Ghouls bat image along with one of my favorite sets, Wicked Cool from the 2012-2013 Catalog. Notice the Howlstooth & Scaringbone DSP she used?
