Luau Beach Bag Tutorial

Posted on June 28, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

Here is a cute little Luau Beach Bag treat holder that I made for everyone who attended my Luau Catalog Launch last weekend. If you forgot yours – don’t worry I’ll be tucking it in with your order.

I thought that the In Colors this year went perfectly with a beach theme so I pulled out my NEW In Color Collection Designer Series Paper Stack (item 130136). The colors are so yummy – they remind me of the summer or sherbet, how about you? And don’t you just love the new patterns? The chevron in particular is right on trend and I thought was perfect for this little bag.

And if you haven’t already seen it you’re going to fall in love with the new 3/8″ Ruffle Stretch Trim that comes in all 5 In Colors this year! Isn’t it just too stinking cute? I’m finding I’m reaching for it all the time to use in my projects.

I had a lot of fun making these little treats that contain 2 pieces of chocolate for everyone. So without further ado here is my Luau Beach Bag Tutorial Video.

So I got to thinking after hearing her story that others might enjoy having one too – So I came up with the Color Refresh Pocket Ring. Here is a close up of the color ring. They seemed to be a big hit with my ladies.

So although I didn’t share my Luau Sea Glass Jar Tutorial with you yesterday I’m happy to say I recreated it and that I’m able to today.

I made these cute little Luau Sea Glass Jars for my daughters Luau Graduation Party on Saturday. I set them around the food table as decorations filled with sand and flickering tea lights for a touch of ambiance.

They seemed to be a hit with the kids and they are sooo easy to make, you’re going to love it! The choices are endless –I’m already seeing cascading flowers made with our punches too, hmm. I think I need to make some more in a new In Colors that will be available tomorrow– lol.

I’m sure that you’ll find your own fun ways to use them. I’d love to hear about it when you do, so come back and share your creations with me. Leave me a comment when you make your own Luau Sea Glass Jars and tell me all about it and what you’ve used them for!

Spring Sampler Bookmarks

Posted on April 3, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

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

Framelits Bunny Fancy Favor

Posted on March 30, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

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?
