Vintage Leaves Easel Post it Note Holder

Posted on November 9, 2016 by Stamp with Jini

I love to make gifts and what could be more practical than a post it note holders – I don’t know about you, but I have a ton of these little pads laying around my work spaces at home. LOL! Who would have back in the 80’s thought these little pads would become so every day! Don’t you wish you had invented them? I digress – so any way without further adieu here it is

I really love the way these turned out – so much so I’m making them for the Bazaar I’m doing this Saturday. So why not stop by this Saturday at the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church Mission Bazaar in Gainesville and say hi? You can find more information about the event HERE on my Calendar of Events.

Want to see how they are made? I’ve made a little video tutorial for you not only showing how the holder is made but also how I created the wash of color on the focal point too!

Caring with Cards & the Ronald McDonald House

Last Saturday I was able to drop all those cards we’ve stamped together at my Caring with Cards events into the basket at the Atlanta On Stage event. Thanks to all those new and seasoned stampers who joined me in making a difference!

Almost 200 cards were stamped between April and the event. Wow!!! It was great to see the basket over flowing! These cards will be distributed to the Ronald McDonald Houses across the nation so that those families who are staying there can use them during their stay as a need arises.

Would you like to help make a difference? Why not join me at my next Caring with Cards event – it is free and all the cards we stamp together will be donated to the RMH and the Red Cross Holiday for Heroes programs!

Next, I realized this weekend I hadn’t shared anything about the Fall Day Retreat and there were some cute items I made for it. And I wanted to make sure I shared this with you since I have some video tutorials to go with the projects! Anyhow, I love pampering each and everyone of you at these events! And I had a lot of fun making treats for the event to make it special – so to begin I’ll share with you the goodies that everyone received during their day of crafting.

Here is a photo of not only the items they received in their “goodie bags” but also the little treats throughout the day.

I’ll get to the video – But first, check out this cute little stand up guy!

I couldn’t resist this quick little treat and since I just love the Cookie Cutter Halloween Stamp Set (142252/142255) and it’s coordinating punch (140396) I couldn’t resist making this fall themed treat for everyone. I’ve put a little butter rum candy between the two images. Who wouldn’t love seeing this little guy at their place setting on Thanksgiving? Adorable, right? this little scarecrow just makes me smile.

And here is one of the little treats from the day – I call it my Acorny Treat Pouch! I find myself reaching for this fun fall set and it’s punch! Quick and easy and when you team it up with the fun fall paper from the Holiday Catalog – it makes a great treat!

Of course, the chocolate doesn’t hurt, right? LOL!

Why not check out this quick little video – they are so easy to make!

Spring Retreat Fun!

Posted on March 15, 2016 by Stamp with Jini

A day crafting with others is always fun! And it’s even more fun when you are being pampered, right? Earlier this month I held my first Blue Mountain Day Retreat and I think everyone who attended enjoyed it. We stamped, laughed, and shared!

So today I thought I’d share some of the pictures I took before the retreat. At least I remembered to do that – sorry, I forgot to snap some pics during the retreat, wouldn’t you know.

Here are the tables set up and ready to go, everyone had a 6 foot table of their own.

And of course, my corner store which included finished items and cards, along with Paper Pumpkin and other kits and even items to decorate, retired cards stock, ribbon and other accessories for those who had forgotten something or just wanted a little extra something for their project. Everyone had access to all my stamp sets and Big Shot items since they were available for use during the Retreat!

“Goodie Bags” were waiting for everyone at their seats along with their name tag.

Their Make n Take packets in addition to the goodies were used to complete their 4 projects that day with lots left over so they could make more with the instructions they got!

I made these cute little pencil holders up for everyone using the Birthday Bouquet Designer Series Paper (140557) and Suite Sayings stamp set (140709/140712).

And here are a couple of the pillow gifts they received that day. First is a memo pad.

I love the way this turned out using the Picture Perfect stamp set (140520). I knew when I saw it, the stamp set was perfect for these little memo pads I found a while back!

I used Rose Red and Blushing Bride Classic Ink to create this wonderful cabbage rose from the set – and since the set was photopolymer it was easy to line up the 3 different images that make up this flower.

Notice the Blushing Bride polka dot pattern? It’s from out Subtles Collection Designer Series Paper Stack (138437) so you can make a bunch of these memo holders up!

And here is a cute little kiss holder I made using the Tin of Cards stamp set (138946) and the Love Blossom Designer Series Paper Stack (140548).

If you’d like to learn how I made these little kiss holders you can click HERE to see a video tutorial showing you how. They are soooo easy to make and who doesn’t like chocolate?

Here is a photo of all the pillow gifts and goodies I made for the day retreat.

And since everyone asked for the soup recipe I made for lunch, I thought I’d share it with you today too. I think it’s yummy and soooo easy to make.

Joy’s Easy White Chili

2 T. bacon drippings

1 medium Onion, chopped

1 (4oz.) can chopped green chilies

2 tsp. garlic powder

2 tap. Salt

2 tsp. ground cumin

2 tsp. dried oregano

2 tsp. ground coriander

½ tsp. cayenne pepper

3 (15 oz) cans Luck’s Great Northern Beans, un-drained

2 (14 ½ oz.) cans Swanson Chicken Broth

3 (10oz) cans Hormel Premium Chicken Brest, drained

8 oz. extra sharp Cheddar Cheese or more to taste

Brown onion in bacon drippings. Add all ingredients to a large pot and bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes. Or for a Crock pot, Cook on high 2-4 hours.Serve with corn chips.

So what do you think? Look like fun? Does this look like something that you’d enjoy doing? Twelve hours of uninterrupted crafting time? Well if it is something you’d enjoy or this past retreat date didn’t work for you, you’ll want to watch my calendar of events – I hope to be doing more of these events soon!

Suite Sayings Flag Holder Tutorial & NEW Blue Mountain Retreat

Posted on January 14, 2016 by Stamp with Jini

Did you catch the little 3d gift item in the photos that I shared with you the other day from my Occasions Catalog Sneak Peek Event? It was sitting there with the Domed Treat Box that I shared with you on Tuesday.

Everyone who attended received this little holder filled with post it flags to mark their wish list items in the new Occasions Catalog. (And if you’ve seen the catalog you’ll know why! LOL – my own wish list is huge! I think this is the best Occasions Catalog I’ve seen in all the years I’ve been a demonstrator.)

When I saw these at the dollar spot I knew the pastel flags would be perfect with soft water colored look of the Birthday Bouquet Designer Series Paper.

Here is a quick – and I mean quick Video Tutorial for you so you can make some too! And I’ve included the complete supply list below.

Suite Sayings Flag Holder Video Tutorial:

I had so much fun with these I made them all a little different. I couldn’t pick a favorite. How about you? Which color combination do you like the best? Why not leave me a comment and let me know?
