Blue Mountain Stampers’ Shoe Box Fun

Posted on December 12, 2018 by Stamp with Jini

Last week we I held our annual Blue Mountain Stampers’ Luncheon and along with it we had a Shoe Box Swap this year – so there was lots of stamping going on!

We began our Luncheon with a dish to pass – always yummy new recipes to try. I love “pot lucks” how about you?

The table was decorated – and everyone had a little gift bag waiting for them.

The bags were filled with a team coffee cup, note book I made, and a team pen.

We also celebrated lots of team accomplishments for the past quarter.

Want to see some of the Shoe Box Swaps we made?

These first two were created using the Love What You Love stamp set (148042) and coordinating Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper (148926)

And here are some cute tags we made using the Candy Cane Builder Punch (148011) and Under the Mistletoe Designer Series Paper (146921).

If you noticed the Whisper White 5/8″ Flax Ribbon that we used for the tags and wondering where you can find it. It’s from our 2019 Occasions Catalog and will be available in January.

And here is a cute gift card holder using the Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp set (142043) and coordinating Cookie Cutter Builder Punch (140396). Aren’t the little antlers cute? They were made with the Sprig Punch (148012) from the Holiday Catalog.

Do you recognize the sentiment? It’s from our Farmhouse Christmas Stamp set (148478).

And here is a simple but elegant card using the Stylish Christmas stamp set (146770/146773) and Softly Falling Embossing Folder (139672).

Of course, what could be better than swaps. So here are some of the swaps members brought starting with the 3ds treats filled with yummy goodies.

And finally a fancy fold card.

What a wonderful time we had that afternoon. I have such a wonderful team of stampers – each and everyone of them bring their own special talent to our group as you can see.

Here is our selfie from the afternoon. (I’m still getting use to my new selfie stick. LOL, can you tell?)

Cross Stitched Christmas & More

Posted on November 27, 2018 by Stamp with Jini

I grew up cross stitching projects for my family and friends and now you can create beautiful images with the Cross Stitched Christmas looking images with the Cross Stitch Christmas Stamp set and our Stamparatus for your family and friends this holiday season.

This card has been teamed up with our Quilt Top Embossing Folder (144687) for a subtle hand stitched look in the background too. Just lovely in it’s simplicity.

And speaking of traditions – baking is one of my favorite things during the holidays. I crank up Bing Crosby and spend the day in the kitchen. I make old favorites and try new recipes too, so the cookie tray is always a tasting experience. So the Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp set is one of my favorites (142043). Here are some wonderful swaps I received using this set.

How about you? What is a tradition you enjoy during the holidays? Why not leave me a comment and tell me your favorite tradition?

Blue Mountain Stampers Team Time

Posted on October 4, 2018 by Stamp with Jini

Yesterday I shared my special team event project with you and so today I thought I’d share some of the wonderful projects my team brought to share at our October meeting. The share time covered everything from cards to 3ds.

This first little project holds a few mini candy bars and was made using the Festive Farmhouse Designer Series Paper (147820) and the Candy Cane Season (147692) and Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp sets (142043) with their coordinating punches.

It’s topped off with our Cherry Cobbler Double Stitched Ribbon (144117) and Festive Farmhouse Cotton Twine (147888). Isn’t it adorable? I love the idea of combining the gingerbread cookie with the candy cane for this quick and easy treat.

And here is a beautiful box that was created with the Seasonal Layers Framelits Dies (143751). One of my favorites since it takes you through all 4 seasons.

And finally some bags and a box made with our Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper (146926) and Nature’s Poem Designer Series Paper (146338).

And of course we didn’t forget the Cards – This first one was made with the Daisy Delight stamp set (143669).

And this last one using the Accented Blooms stamp set. I just love the fall colors that were used on this card so I’m including the supply list for you below.

Cookie Cutter Christmas & Gingerbread Cookie Sugar Scrub

Posted on December 22, 2016 by Stamp with Jini

I love to make home made gifts and the Cookie Cutter Christmas bundle brought to mind the wonderful Gingerbread Cookie Sugar Scrub recipe I had. So here is what I whipped up for some family and friends.

I love the little wooden spoons I found since they can be stamped on.

Sugar scrubs are great for the winter and this one smells so yummy. My husband loves them for his hands and I actually use this scrub in the shower all over my body, hands, feet, legs, elbows – it is wonderful and moisturizes too. (Just make sure you are careful in the shower the scrub can make the floor slippery.)

I’m including the recipe below for you in case you’d like to make some last minute gifts too!

Gingerbread Cookie Sugar Scrub

1 c. brown sugar

1 c. sugar

1 c. vegetable oil

2 tsp. cinnamon

2 tsp. nutmeg

2 tsp. ginger

2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice

3 drops Vanilla extract

Mix well and place in a tightly sealed container such as a mason jar.

This keeps well in a cool place for weeks!

Today I also wanted to share some of the wonderful hand stamped cards that I’ve received for Christmas from friends – I can’t pick a favorite they are all so wonderful!

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Cookie Cutter Christmas (*142043)

Inks: Soft Suede (126978) and Real Red Classic Ink (126949)

Paper: Candy Cane Lane Designer Series Paper, Real Red (102482), and Whisper White Card stock (100730)

Accessories: Candy Cane Lane Baker’s Twine (141983) and Cookie Cutter Builder Punch (*140396)

Santa’s Sleigh

Posted on December 6, 2016 by Stamp with Jini

If you love a traditional look – you’ll love the Santa’s Sleigh stamp set and Framelits dies! This bundle of products gives you LOTS of options including 3d items. Check out these wonderful cards given to me.

This first one is from my team member, Deborah.

I hope the picture does it justice – this card is wonderful with the Copper Foil Sheets and matching Copper Embossing Powder.

This next card from my friend and fellow demonstrator, Marni

And how about this final card from Bea that combines the Cookie Cutter Christmas bundle (143493) and the tree image from the Santa’s Sleigh Framelits.

I love the way Bea used the Gingerbread man image to create the legs on the deer.

And how about this little planter that I made using the Santa’s Sleigh Framelits (140278) and Popcorn Box Thinlits Dies (141473) –

I simply stamped and cut 3 trees out, folded them down the middle and adhered them together around a coffee stir stick of all things. The planter opens to hold some chocolate kisses.

While the Santa’s Sleigh stamp set and Thinlits Dies are part of our carry over list the Santa’s Sleigh Bundle (143499) is only available while supplies last. So why not check out our Year End Sale and get yours before it is gone!
