Love Blossom Domed Treat Box

Posted on January 12, 2016 by Stamp with Jini

A New Catalog is a lot of fun – and of course when it’s Sale-a-bration, it’s even more fun! So to start the New Year off with a bang I held my NEW Catalog Sneak Peek Event on the 3rd of January – two days before the catalog launched! That meant that everyone who attended was able to play with some of the new products and see them before it went live! Whoo hoo! A great way to start off the New Year, right?

In today’s post I’m going to share with you some photos of the event. This first one is a picture of the classroom set up – to show you a bit of what greeted everyone who attended.

And this second one shows you what was at everyone’s spot.

Everyone who attended received a couple of special treats from me – and in today’s Video Tutorial I’ll show you how the little chocolate holder was made.

I call these Love Blossom Domed Treat Box – I’m so original, not with names – but well I called them this because they’re domed or treasure box shaped!

I used our new 6×6 paper stack, Love Blossoms since they were the perfect size! I didn’t even have to cut the paper!

Want to see a quick video tutorial on how to make them? Well, here you go. (Sorry about the froggy voice, I’m fighting winter allergies and just couldn’t wait any longer to share this with you.)

Domed Treat Box Video Tutorial:

A great project, huh? And it holds quite a bit so you can put almost any item you’d like inside. Of course, I wanted to pamper my guests with some Valentine chocolate, (before Larry found it!) so this was perfect.

And of course, our Honeycomb Happiness (Sale-a-bration 1412788/141291) is an item that you can earn FREE during Sale-a-bration. I love the images and thought the sentiment was perfect for this project!

I’ve given you a complete supply list for this project below. And I don’t know about you, but I find the Envelope Punch Board a fantastic addition to my stamping supplies and have been finding all kinds of things besides envelopes to make with it! If you haven’t already seen my Getting Started with the Envelope Punch Board Tutorial – why not check it out now?

Oh, What Fun Mini Treat Bag

Posted on December 20, 2015 by Stamp with Jini

This quick and easy back is great for a quick little gift for neighbors and friends. It will hold those small items, gift cards, or a bit of chocolate and since it is made with our Mini Treat Bag Thinlits Dies (137547). And it’s so easy to make at least 24 of these with just one package of our Designer Series Paper!

Super cute and already includes your gift tag! Just watch which way you place your dies onto your Designer Series Paper when you run them through the Big Shot so that the pattern is going the same directions. (Ask me how I know LOL!)

How’d I make the tags? Well, I used the Oh, What Fun stamp set (140386) and stamped it twice once using Cherry Cobbler for the main image and then again on Smoky Slate in Mossy Meadow for the fussy cut banner. I love our Banner Triple Punch because it makes these banners easy and they look great every time! A great addition to your stamping supplies.

Finally a little Clothes Pin and a scrap of Designer Series Paper and your done – quick and easy!

Gingerbread House Fun

Posted on November 25, 2015 by Stamp with Jini

Do you enjoy putting together a gingerbread house with the family during the holidays? How about making one with our Baker’s Box?

This gingerbread house is calorie free! (Well of course, that doesn’t include the kisses I’ve tucked inside LOL!) And since I’ve used one of our Clothespins that are part of the Online Extravaganza as the chimney you can open it easily to take out the little treat.

I’ve used the Merry Moments Designer Series Paper to create the cute little candies along the bottom and since the Baker’s Box Thinlits come with all kind of extra goodies, I’ve made the door and windows using the thinlits along with the little heart too.

I know you can’t tell since the photo doesn’t pick up the beautiful Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper that I’ve used for the snow covered roof, but the roof just shimmers! Would you believe I cut the bottom edge of the roof with the Square Collection Framelit Dies? Yep, it’s the largest square. Cute, huh?

Making this little gingerbread house took me back to memories of my Girl Scout days in elementary school, when we took our empty milk cartons and decorated them using royal icing and candies. I kept that little house until it totally fell apart!

Want to make some memories making some gingerbread house yourself? I’ve used several of the products that you can find on our Weekly Deals and Online Extravaganza this week so not only can you make these cute little gingerbread houses, but you can get a great deal too! And when you use my hostess code and purchase more than $35 you’ll get a free gift from me too.

Supplies:

Paper: M erry Moments Designer Series Paper (138450), Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper (135315), Mossy Meadow (133676) and So Saffron card stock (105118)

Accessories: Baker’s Box Thinlit Dies (138279), Square Collection Framelit Dies (130921), Clothespins (133764), 1/2″ Circle Punch (119869) and 1/4″ Handheld Circle Punch (134364)

Santa Fry Box

Posted on November 24, 2015 by Stamp with Jini

The Online Extravaganza is filled with great deals and here is a wonderful little treat that you can whip up for the holidays using several of the items on the list!

This cute little Santa Fry Box was made with the Fry Box XL Die (132966) and the Floral Frames Framelits (127012). If you haven’t tried it already the Fast Fuse (129027) it makes putting these together a snap! And it’s mess free too.

Can you tell the beard was created with our Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper (135315)? I wish my camera would pick up just how beautiful this paper is. I love this paper which shimmers and shines with the light and it’s on the Weekly Deals this week! So what could be better?

I chose the ribbon since it coordinated with the Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper I thought. It’s our Gold & White 3/8″ Glitter Ribbon (139614) from the Holiday Catalog and while I used the White I think the bow would be great in gold too since it would highlight the belt buckle.

Want to see another Fry Box projects I’ve made? Great for those 4 legged family members you need a holiday treat for.

You can check out my quick video tutorial showing you how I made the back with our Designer Series Paper.

Stop by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing another little treat item with you.

On Stage – Tampa

Posted on November 19, 2015 by Stamp with Jini

Last weekend I was able to attend the first On Stage Event that Stampin’ Up! held in Tampa, Florida.

On Friday I was able to participate in a shoe box swap with friends and I’ll be sharing some of these great cards with you in the upcoming weeks.

I was so excited to see what the new format for our Demonstrator Events would be like. While the Main Stage was in Brussels, there were 6 different regional events being held at the same time here in the United States and that was in addition to those held in other countries. All total there were more Demonstrators gathered together at one time than in ever before – and the energy was high.

When we entered the ballroom we were greeted by tables filled with new goodies!

The tables were decorated with Blackberry Bliss table cloths and the theme of one of the new suites, Going Places from the 2016 Occasions Catalog was highlighted in all the goodies on the table.

Of course, no Stampin’ Up! event would be complete without a Prize Patrol!

After all who can resist a new stamp set!!! I can’t wait to try out this new set it’s definitely a must have so I was thrilled when I won it!!!

I enjoyed spending time with my fellow team mate JoAnn who joined me in Tampa

And the SINKS team members, my extended family.

It was a great day together and while I had lot of fun sharing, laughing and stamping together, getting the first peek at the upcoming Occasions Catalog and Sale-a-bration brochure was the high light! (I can’t wait to share a sneak peek with you with my Prize Patrol set during the Coffee & Cards Buffet in December! Watch for more information coming your way soon!!!)

After the great day we had together we continued the fun with dinner at the Spaghetti Warehouse.

What fun, spending time with new and old friends and sharing our favorite moments of the day’s presentation and training.

Oops…. I almost forgot to share with you some of the fun pillow gifts I made for my roommate.

With all that sharing we do I love to jot notes down since I can never remember it all – so I made a notepad set with pen and binder clip for holding all those goodies together

I used the P roject Life Remember This stamp set (135786) since I love this sentiment and of course the Schoolhouse Designer Series Paper (138187) and Pacific Point 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon (138427).

We receive a special event bag to hold all our goodies in so a name tag is always helpful to identify ours from the rest! After all 398 of the same bags in one place….well you get the idea.

And for my fellow Team members and travel companion I made this cute little domed box.

It held some chocolate, pen, binder clip and of course flags so we could mark all those wonderful must have stamp sets!

The next day was an early morning wake up and off to the airport to head home –

Of course, I made sure I had my new catties on the plane with me – ready to settle in and dream! I think this is the best Occasions and Sale-a-bration yet!

Oh my gosh, can you believe all these goodies I brought home with me!!! Stampin’ Up! pampers us at these events. I LOVE being a Demonstrator – and I love the fact that I get to order and preview items before they go live!

If this sounds like something you would enjoy now is a wonderful time to become a demonstrator. You can click HERE to learn more about my Team the Blue Mountain Stampers and of course you’re welcome to contact me by phone (706) 754-7124 or email StampwithJini@gmail.com – I’d love to share with l you more about the advantages of joining.
