I love to make things to give and this week I want to try making some quick bookmarks for spring. The Spring Sampler stamp set (item 125510/125512) from the Spring Catalog is one of my favorites and since it has such a great variety of images I started there. And of course my Big Shot dies make things quick when I want to do a large number of items so I pulled out my trusty Two Tags Die – love it right!?!
Here is what I came up with – I think my Spring Sampler Bookmarks will be a hit when I hand them out.
Once I got started I was having so much fun with the images from the Spring Sampler set I didn’t want to stop – lol
I used a variety of sentiments for the Spring Sampler Bookmarks too as you can see in my group photo.
Supplies:
Stamp Set: Spring Sampler
Inks: Early Espresso
Paper: Subtles Collection and Whisper White card stock
Accessories: 1 1/4″ and 1 3/4″ Scallop Circle, 1 1/4″ and 1 3/8″ Circle Punches, Stampin’ Write Markers
I thought I would share one last bunny project since Easter is tomorrow. This project is super quick and easy because the base of it is the Fancy Favor Die – Great for holding all kinds of chocolate treats that my family loves. Shhhh…don’t tell them, but they’ll be finding theirs tomorrow at their spot when we sit down for our Easter dinner.
My little bunny’s body was created using our Oval Collection Framelits Die. I used several of our punches to finish the little guy; you’ll find them listed below on the supply list.
Add a little sponging on the edges, some Multipurpose Adhesive and voila’ – The cutest little bunny around.
I hope that you’ll all have a wonderful Easter with your family. I’m really looking forward to spending the day with mine, my husband will even be home – yippee, so it will be wonderful to spend the day together celebrating Easter.

Have you seen the NEW Pop ‘n Cuts die in the Spring Catalog? Well if you loved to play dress up when you were little or if you played with paper dolls you’re going to love this group of coordinating products!
Here is a card I made for my Team Meeting using the Pop ‘n Cuts Die (item 130099) and Dress Form (item 130100). I used our Full Heart Punch for the bodice and would you believe I used one of our Paper Doilies (item 129399) to create the skirt? Well I did!
I had such a great time creating this project that I thought I would share how I created this skirt with you too. After a lot of trial an error here is what I finally came up with.
So here is my latest video – The Fun & Flirty Doily Skirt Tutorial
And if you were wondering how I decorated the outside – here is a photo of the outside of the card. Don’t you love the way that the NEW Pop ‘n Cuts die is designed so that it “seals” itself?

I made this cute little treat box using the Spring Sampler Stamp Set (item 125510/125512). I knew when I saw this set in the Spring Catalog I just had to have it – it’s so me. I could picture making quick and easy treats for all kinds of occasions.
I think the images in the Spring Sampler Stamp Set are just too cute! How about you?
Here is the Treat Box we made as a project during my March Blue Mountain Stampers meeting. We had a lot of fun thinking of different things (mostly chocolate) that we could put in the box. This time we filled them with these yummy eggs (They come in all kinds of flavors and remind me of those I got as a child.) Shhh… don’t tell my family. They’ll be finding theirs in their rooms Easter morning. I think my hubby will love the cookie dough egg I picked out for him!
We had so much fun making these quick and easy Treat boxes I thought you’d enjoy making them too for your friends and family. So why not check out my new video below – Spring Sampler Treat Box.

Easter is right around the corner and will be here before we know it. So I’ve been creating some little treats for family and friends filled with these cute little chocolate covered bunnies I found at the local Dollar Store. I just love using the Spring Sampler Stamp Set (item 125510/125512) from the Spring Catalog. I knew it was a must have set for me since it makes a quick and easy focal point for any project. And since the Spring Sampler Stamp Set has 24 images you can use it for all kinds of occasions!
I gave this little treat out for my swap at my monthly Blue Mountain Stampers meeting last night. They were so quick and simple to make since I used our Petite Pocket Die (item 123131). Do you recognize the Designer Series Paper? Well it’s Parkers Patterns (item 131021) from the Spring Catalog, and it’s not just for guy cards. These fun bold geometric patterns are great for a variety of projects like this Easter project!

Stamp Set: Spring Sampler, Teeny Tiny Wishes

Paper: Parkers Patterns Designer Series Paper, Tempting Turquoise, Regal Rose and Whisper White

I made these quick and easy mints a couple of days ago for Easter using the Spring Sampler Stamp Set (item 125510/125512) from the Spring Catalog.
I love sets like this because they are so versatile to use, and this set is a great addition for anyone since it covers all kinds of occasions not just Easter!
As you can see I was having so much fun using the different images in the Spring Sampler Stamp Set I made quite a few!

Yesterday I told you would share the little gifts I made for my Hostess Appreciation Brunch – I like the way they turned out and seemed to be a hit with everyone. What can I say chocolate is always a hit!
It’s a cute little Fancy Favor Box I made using our FREE Sycamore Street Designer Series Paper filled with chocolate and coordinating card stock basket shreds. Of course, when you use the Big Shot and our Fancy Favor Die (item 115965) it’s quick and easy to make a batch of these up for any occasion.
Did you know you can make your own basket shreds to coordinate with your projects?It’s easy all you need is some card stock and your paper shredder! It’s a tip I picked up during Leadership Conference – What a great way to use those smaller pieces of card stock you have sitting around.

Paper: Sycamore Street Designer Series Paper, Tangerine Tango, Island Indigo, Baja Breeze, and Whisper White

Earlier today I mentioned I would share with you the Valentine Treat Boxes I made for all my Valentines today. I love these cute little boxes they are so quick and easy to make and they can be filled with an assortment of things. Today of course they are filled with chocolate!
I found these Russell Stover chocolates at my local drugstore and thought they sounded yummy – as luck would have it they were just the right size too for my Valentine Treat Boxes!
I think it is safe now to share these with you since I don’t think my kids will be looking at my blog today and I’ve already given my husband his. Here are some close up shots of each of the boxes.
I’ve used the Hearts a Flutter stamp (item 129249/129252) from the Spring Catalog set to create the focal point on each of these little boxes. The Hearts a Flutter is such a fun stamp set to use I find myself reaching for it for all kinds of projects. This first box is my husbands and he got his as he headed out the door for work. (Somehow I don’t think the treat will make it all the way to Lawrenceville.)
This second box is for my son, Johnathan. Although I made this box using more masculine colors I couldn’t resist putting a little “bling” on it. So I used my sharpie to color one of our Basic Rhinestone Jewels (item 119247).
And this final box is for my daughter, Kaitlin – so I made it using softer colors. I just love the Primrose Petals 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon (item 126844), it’s so great to work I find myself reaching for it quite often.
I really can’t decide which box is my favorite. Which one do you like the best? Why not leave me a comment below and let me know.
Would you like to see more Valentine’s Day projects? I’ve posted more projects on my face book page Stamp with Jini?
Are you ready for Valentine’s Day? I’m almost ready and since Valentine’s Day is just a few days away I wanted to share my video tutorial with you for these cute little Paper Hearts. I made these Paper Hearts to hang in the windows of my house. I think you’re going to have fun making them too – but be careful they’re so quick and easy they are addicting!
Here are 3 of the Paper Hearts that I made on Saturday.
As you can see I made my Paper Hearts in 2 different sizes and I used the Hearts a Flutter Bundle (item 131098/131097) to create the spinning heart in the center. Can you see the word love stamped on the center of the larger heart? (You can check out the close up below for a better view.) I used the stamp set Fabulous Phrases to stamp the word love on one side, and the word you on the other side, so when it spins it says “Love You”.
Fabulous Phrases (item 117002/120501) is one of those stamp sets I use all the time since it is such a pretty font and it contains 30 stamps that you can make all kind of different phrases with! (Want to see some of the combinations you can make with this set? Click HERE for a PDF and then see how many more you can make!)
Isn’t that fun? I can’t decide which one I like best since I just love the delicate scalloped heart image from the Hearts a Flutter stamp set, it reminds me of my Grandma for some reason. Why not leave me a comment below and let me know which Paper Heart you like the best.
Would you like to know how I made these Paper Hearts? Well why not check out my Paper Hearts Video Tutorial.
