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.

Mini Berry Basket Blessing Mix

Blessing Mix

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 [email protected] – I’d love to share with l you more about the advantages of joining.

Baker’s Box BINGO Treat

Posted on July 16, 2015 by Stamp with Jini

Want to see the little gift everyone received at the Bingo event on Sunday? I won’t make you wait – here it is!

This cute little box was created using out NEW Baker’s Box Thinlits Die (138279) and it’s coordinating stamp set, All Boxed Up (138944/139340). Quick and easy and of course filled with what else? Chocolate of course!

Here is a photo of the group of Baker’s Boxes I made for the event. I can’t get enough of these delicate butterflies!

I used the 2015-2016 In Color Designer Series Paper Stack (138432) to create them in all the fun new In Colors and since we have a great selection of Sequin Trim now you can pick the trim color of your choice! I had a lot of fun with these little boxes. (You can see the entire supply list below.)

Just a quick tip when using this Thinlits die with Designer Series Paper, you’ll want to play with your sandwich since it cuts and scores at the same time. Designer Series Paper is thinner than our card stock. I found using my regular tabbed platform worked better since I could adjust the thickness better than with my Magnetic Platform.

After showing everyone what prizes they were playing for

everyone settled in and we started with the first 3 games of Bingo –

Everyone was excited for the winners!

Stop on by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing some more pictures and one of the projects everyone made.

Supplies:

Stamp Set: All Boxed Up (138944/139340)

Paper: 2015 In Color Designer Series Paper Stack (138432), Bermuda Bay (131197), and Whisper White card stock (100730)

Accessories: Baker’s Box Thinlits Die (138279), Bold Butterfly Framelits (138135), Clothespins (133764), Brights (131259) and 2015 In Color Stampin’ Write Markers (138333), Bermuda Bay Sequin Trim (137910)

Hello Life Valentine Petite Cafe’ Bags

Posted on January 20, 2015 by Stamp with Jini

Have you seen the Hello Life stamp set found on page 31 in the Occasions Catalog? I find myself reaching for this fun set time and time again. The images are a great size for all kinds of projects!

Here is a Petite Café bag that I created for my daughter and her friends for Valentine’s Day during my weekend retreat.

Can you guess what the treat contains? There is a funny story attached to this treats and everyone at the retreat thought it was rather funny what I was placing inside when I showed them what I was working with!

I chose our Petite Café Bags since they were shape “forgiving” and my little treat was an odd shape. Here is the completed bags – one for each friend.

Want to know what is inside? Well of course I had to add a little bit of chocolate since who can’t use a little chocolate in their lives, right? But the “big” item my daughter picked out while checking out the clearance isle in our local Wally world…….

Yep…. Play-doh! Would you believe? I was shocked when she got so excited about this find on the shelf. But apparently she and college friends are going to have a blast with the Play-doh. She picked out a different color for each one to have during those stressful college days! LOL. I’m hoping she’ll take some photos for me. I’d love to see the group and what they end up making together! (Isn’t it great – It’s fun to see that little glimmer of the young child she used to be – my kids loved spending hours playing with the homemade play-doh on our kitchen table. Sigh… they grow up sooo fast!)

Hello Life Mini File Folder Treat Holder

Posted on January 12, 2015 by Stamp with Jini

This past weekend was my second Annual Blue Mountain Stampers’ Winter Weekend and I’ve got to say it was a blast and the creative energy was flowing shortly after we unpacked! I’ll try to share more about this fun team event with you later when I’ve caught back up on my sleep! LOL

Meanwhile, I wanted to share with you this quick and easy Valentine themed treat that I made first.

So quick and easy and it holds a pack of gum –

I used the Hello Life stamp set (137136) that you can find on page 6 of the Occasions Catalog and the Stacked with Love Designer Series Paper Stack (137779) from page 5.

While the Stacked with Love Designer Series Paper has a Valentine feel to it on one side, the great part is the other side is neutral enough for any occasion! This pattern that I’ve used for this project is a perfect example.

I love the little sentiments found in this set and since it is Photopolymer it is sooo easy to line up and layer the images.

Can you see the cute little heart on the top of my file folder flap? It’s stamped in Crisp Cantaloupe and adds a little interest to the flap (since it is tone on tone.)

With the rain today my camera is just not real happy. And of course photos just don’t do projects the justice they deserve – great news projects are always on display in my classroom during events so you can see just how great they are for yourself!

If you’d like to learn how to make these cute little treats click HERE for my video tutorial to show you how.

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Hello Life (137136)

Inks: Memento Tuxedo Black (132708), and Crisp Cantaloupe (131176), Calypso Coral Classic Ink (126983)

Paper: Stacked with Love Designer Series Paper Stack (137779), Crisp Cantaloupe (131298), Calypso Coral (122925), Basic Black (121045), and Whisper White card stock (100730)
