Flower & Friendship Maui Swaps

Posted on May 27, 2021 by Stamp with Jini

Today’s cards all feature the Flower & Friendship Bundle (155590). This Bundle is a lot of fun to work with since it contains a punch, making it quick and easy! And who doesn’t love flowers?

This first card uses our Polished Pink and Soft Succulent to create a fun fold card.

The 2021 In Color Designer Series Paper (155641) was used for the flowers – simply stamped on the pattern and then punched out. A great way to add some interest quickly to an image like this

making this card bright and cheerful. The sentiment was cut out using the Layering Circle Dies (151770) and the fun little dragonfly was punched from Soft Succulent card stock using the Dragonflies Punch (154240). Don’t you love how our products coordinate?

This next card uses the fun patterns from the Pattern Party Designer Series Paper (Host 155426) and the Basic Borders Dies (155558).

Did you know that you can get this Designer Series Paper for free? It’s easy simply plan a party with me and be a Host or place a qualifying order.

During the special Host promotion that ends on June 14th you can not only earn this but also have an extra $25 added to your host benefits. Why not contact me today and set up a time for your party? Choose from a book party, facebook, or even an in person event today!

This final card uses our new Tailor Made Tag Dies (155563) to highlight the sentiment.

The Hand Penned Designer Series Paper peaks out from behind a wonderful sponged background and the little White Vellum shape has been cut out using our Painted Labels Dies (151605) for a bit more added dimension. Soft color that has an impact for this card.

Stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing more swaps from Maui with you!

Using the same supplies as the first two cards in this series makes this a great way to start building your stamping supplies too if you are new to stamping. Punches make everyone successful and they are quick and easy to use!

Spot lighting Sale-a-bration’s Corner Bouquet

Posted on February 7, 2021 by Stamp with Jini

Todays cards all use the Corner Bouquet stamp set that you can earn during Sale-a-bration with a qualifying order. This stamp set is great since you can team up these lovely images with your favorite sentiment sets.

Check out these lovely cards made using this stamp set. This first card is done a fun blending technique using our NEW Blending Brushes (153611) and the Oh So Ombre Designer Series Paper (Sale-a-bration 155225).

I love the rich colors on this card and the Artistry Blooms Sequins add a pop of shimmer.

This next card uses a simple ink pad technique that gives your projects a 2 tone effect.

Simply ink up the image using the lighter color, here Mint Macaron was used as normal. Then use the second ink pad to tap the areas you want to highlight. Cool right? The lovely Very Vanilla Gold Metallic Edged Ribbon (144146) and Metallic Pears (146282) add a beautiful elegance to this sympathy card. Do you recognize the sentiment? Its from another stamp set you can earn, the Heal Your Heart stamp set (Sale-a-bration 155291).

And this next card is done in Just Jade and uses 3 of our Sale-a-bration products, can you name them?

The sentiment is from the Approaching Perfection stamp set (Sale-a-bration155282) and the polka dots are from the Flower and Field Designer Series Paper (Sale-a-bration 155223).

And how about this next card done in Bumblebee and Garden Green? I love the way the image is used to create a fun background panel.

This next card teams up the Corner Bouquet with the Positive Thoughts stamp set (151490) and is done in Rich Razzleberry and Smoky Slate.

And last but not least this rich card done in jewel tones uses the Dandy Garden Designer Series paper (154297) along with the Dragonflies Punch (154240) and Classic Labels Punch (141491)

So what do you think? Have a favorite? I know I can’t pick just one.

Final card in the Mix It Up Series 2 using Dragonfly Garden

Posted on February 5, 2021 by Stamp with Jini

Today’s card is the last in this series of 3 cards using the Dragonfly Garden Bundle.

This card is the last in my second Mix It Up Series, so if you missed Series #1 or the other 2 cards why not scroll through my past blog posts? Meanwhile here is the video and pdf tutorial for you.

Mix It Up Series 2 Dragonfly Garden Card #3 Video Tutorial

Mix It Up Series 2 Dragonfly Garden Card #3 PDF Tutorial

I love the landscape option for cards. Do you find you tend to gravitate toward landscape or portrait layouts? Back in High School my art teacher, Mr. Panaro pointed out to me that every time he gave us an option my choice always was landscape. While that was many years ago that observation still rings true. I try to create with the portrait layout in mind too, which is part of what I love about this Mix It Up Series, it always us to stretch and try new things. Have you ever noticed you tend to gravitate towards a certain layout more? Why not leave me a comment and let me know?

Enjoy! Looks like it will be a good weekend to stay inside and craft a little, but then any time is a good time to craft a little if you ask me!

Dragonfly Garden Mix It Up Series #1 final Tutorial

Posted on January 29, 2021 by Stamp with Jini

Today marks the end of my Mix It Up Series Series #1 and it’s final project. This week I’ve been sharing with you cards all made with the same pieces, just mixed up. This technique is a fun and quick way to create cards quickly. Whether your new to stamping or a avid crafter like myself you’ll find this series a great way to craft.

Today’s card once again uses the classic Misty Moonlight and Bumblebee combination. Since it uses just 2 ink pads it’s a great way to start building your color collection. And since they both are part of our 2020-2022 In Color Collection you can choose our Cardstock Assortment pack since it contains all 5 colors in the In Color collection.

Done in a landscape layout it with simple stamping – this sentiment is a great way to spread some cheer.

Here is my video tutorial and a printable PDF also for you. Did you know that each of my PDF tutorials not only gives you a complete supply list, measurements, and step by step directions as a companion to the video but it also includes the YouTube link? Yep, they do – that makes it simple to keep everything in one place!
