Christmas Pines

Posted on October 25, 2016 by Stamp with Jini

Pine boughs… can you smell the fresh cut pine? It’s one of my strongest holiday memories. Going out in the cold Wisconsin afternoon, tramping through the snow and choosing a tree together. (My dad had planted a whole field of them on our property when I was about 4 and it was my job to stomp the dirt down around the saplings trunk.)

When we got home the guys always trimmed the trunk and screwed the tree into the tree stand. I know I’m really dating myself LOL! Some years those lopsided little blue spruce were a bit misshaped, but since we back them up against the wall it was all good. Now a days we use an artificial tree, not as much fun I’m afraid, but more practical with my allergies.

Oh well, this set just reminds me of all those beautiful boughs from childhood. And it’s got some wonderful sentiments too

Here are two wonderful cards that I was given. This first one from Jackie has a bit of sparkle and shine to it since she uses our Red Glimmer Paper (121790) and Candy Cane Lane Baker’s Twine (141983).

And this second card from Theresa has tons of texture – I’ve included the recipe for you below.

This stamp set is part of a suite of products is found on pages 18 & 19 in the Holiday Catalog. And did you know that right now the Presents & Pinecones Designer Series Paper is part of the Buy 3 Get 1 FREE promotion? Whoo hoo!

Fa-la-la-la Friends

Posted on October 11, 2016 by Stamp with Jini

Today’s cards are all made with the Fa-la-la-la stamp set from the Holiday catalog.

This set has a lot of fun images and coordinate with Framelits Dies from the Annual Catalog. So if you have them already it doubles the fun and what you can create with them!

This first card uses the llama image and our Presents & Pinecones Designer Series Paper that is currently part of the Buy Three Get One FREE promotion!

I love the way that Sandy used the cute little Mini Jingle Bells for his collar and the pop of color the Designer Series Paper adds along the bottom. I’ve included the recipe below for you.

This second card is from Joanne and includes a clear panel make out of Window Sheets (142314).

The sentiment peeks through the window sheet and when you open it up you get a lovely surprise.

And if you love bears you’ll love this card using the Cable Knit Embossing Folder (143537), Warmth & Cheer Designer Series Paper Stack (141991) and Baker’s Twine Trio Pack (141999) that Sandy sent me.

Adorable right? And this little guy coordinates with the Bear Hugs Framelits Dies (140275). Love it? You may want to check out the Bear Hugs stamp set in the Annual Catalog on page 107 too!

On a personal note – it has been a bit since I posted. I’m sorry to say I’ve had a number of different technology problems that I’m hoping I’ve finally got fixed with yesterdays 4 hour call to tech support. Thank you for bearing with me. I hope to catch back up over the next couple of days and be humming along as normal soon.
