It’s a Festival of Trees!

Posted on December 4, 2015 by Stamp with Jini

Today’s cards all have something in common – trees! After all who doesn’t love all the shapes, and sizes they come in this time of year?

Melanie used the F estival of Trees stamp set (135059) and the 2015-2017 In Colors to create this card, Mint Macaron and Tip Top Taupe.

Did you know that the Mint Macaron Classic Ink Pad (138326) is part of the Weekly Deals? So not only can you get this lovely soft color but you can get it at a great deal! You’ll want to check out the coordinating 1″ Dotted Trim too (138424) that was used on this card it ties lovely.

These next three cards all have the Tree Punch (135859) in common along with either the Merry Moments Designer Series Paper (138450) or the 6×6 stack option (139595) found in the Holiday Catalog. Isn’t it great that Stampin’ Up! give us two choices depending on how we like to craft?

This first card that was given to me by Sandy uses the Hostess Set, Six Sayings (139849/139852) if you haven’t seen it you’ll want to take a look since it’s a lovely set that covers all our fall occasions – and the font is just lovely I think. Great news – you can still earn this set too. Contact me today to host a party with me or place an order so you can earn it now!

Love our Silver Glimmer Paper (135314)? Then this card I made will make you smile.

And this final card I made at the On Stage Shoebox swap uses our Christmas Greeting Thinlits Dies (139659) along with the Home for the Christmas Designer Buttons (139639).

Trees, trees, and more trees – what can I say I can’t pick a favorite. Can you? Why not leave me a comment and let me know which one is your favorite?

Festival of Trees

Posted on December 1, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

I have always liked cardinals – it goes back to my childhood growing up in Wisconsin when they were a rare sight during the winter. And so I enjoy seeing that spot of bright color all year long here in the North Georgia Mountains.

I made today’s card using the Festival of Trees Bundle (137640). After all who can resist a stamp set that has a coordinating punch, right? LOL. And of course this cute little cardinal made it a must on my wish list.

I’ve used the Nordic Noel Designer Series Paper for my color pallet and the Real Red 3/8″ Satin Woven Ribbon (135840) found in the Holiday Catalog on page 15. It has such a wonderful feel and ties beautifully. You’re so going to love it when you work with it!

And here is another card that I made using the same basic items – I’ve just added the Filigree Frame Embossing Folder (13518) to the mix.

How did I create the little tree? I’ve used the negative space created when I punched out the tree first. Simply take a piece of Real Red card stock (102482) and punch out the tree then I punched a circle around the tree by using the 2″ Circle Punch (133782). I layered this on top of my Nordic Noel Designer Series Paper and Garden Green 2 1/12″ Circle.

Cool trick right?

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Festival of Trees (135059)

Inks: Real Red (126949) and Garden Green Classic Ink (102584)

Paper: Nordic Noel Designer Series Paper (135822), Real Red (102482), Soft Sky (131203), and Whisper White card stock (100730)

Accessories: Real Red 3/8″ Satin Woven Ribbon (135840) and Tree Punch (135859)

Team Time means Fun with Friends

Posted on November 18, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

I love being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator because it means not only do I get to stamp with you, but it also means I have a Team of friends that I’m able to get together with once a month and share my passion with.

Today’s cards are some that I made during our last meeting. I love this time of fellowship and stamping – and these ladies have become great friends over the past 5 years that I’ve been a Demonstrator.

Want to see what we made together? I’ve got 4 cards to share with you today, all of them are very different.

This first card is made using the Festival of Trees stamp set (135059), Tree Punch (135859) and the All is Calm Designer Series Paper (135823) along with the yummy Lost Lagoon 3/8″ Silky Taffeta Ribbon (1358741).

This next one is made using our 2014-2016 In Colors and the For All Things stamp set (135152/135155). It is stamped on our White Vellum Card Stock (101856). I hope you can seem the shimmer of the Gold Metallic Encore Ink (132141) that the Gold Metallic Baker’s Twine (132975) picks up on.

This next card uses the Four Feathers (135050/135053) and Mingle All the Way (135770/135773) stamp sets along with the Color Me Autumn Designer Series Paper (135820) and the Under the Tree Specialty Designer Series Paper (132825). I love all the colors and texture on this card – Did you know you can cut the 1 1/4″ Burlap Ribbon using our Large Scallop Framelit (127019)? How cool is that!

And my final card that I’ll be sharing with you today is the Visions of Santa (135167) card. Simply punch out the Santa’s of your choice from the Santa & Co. Designer Series Paper (135821) using the 1″ Square Punch (124094) and voila! A quick and easy card that’s fun!

Have you ever thought about becoming a Demonstrator? Would you like to join the fun and be part of a team? Whether you want to simply get a discount on what buy or make a little extra cash for the holidays now is a great time to join! I’d love to talk with you about joining my team.
