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

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!

Beautiful Autumn Tiny Treat Box & More Team fun!

Posted on September 30, 2020 by Stamp with Jini

Yesterday I shared the Home Decor project that we made at the Peak Princess event this past weekend, today I thought I’d share the little treat item that I made.

They are filled with these fun fall Hershey’s Kisses that I found locally.

I just love the colors of the candy – yes, I do shop for candy that way. (My daughter thinks this is a pretty crazy way to shop for chocolate, but she is always on the hunt for me too!)

These treats were quick and easy to make for everyone. I have whipped up a quick video so you can make some to if you’d like.

Beautiful Autumn Tiny Treat Box Video Tutorial

And of course it’s always fun to have a PDF that contains a complete supply list for projects. So here it is.

Beautiful Autumn Tiny Treat Box Tutorial PDF

I also mentioned I’d share some more photos so here are a couple from the classroom.

This last picture is of the Sweet Potato Crostini I made for the event. The marshmallows spent a bit too much time under the broiler I’m afraid. Don’t you hate that? But they were still quite tasty.

They were a big hit with my guys so I thought you might enjoy the recipe – they are light, tasty and easy to do.

Sweet Potato Crostini

2 T. sugar

1/2 tsp. cinnamon

24 slices 1/4″ thick French bread baguette

2 to 3 T butter, melted

Topping:

2 c. mashed sweet potatoes

1/4 c. chopped pecans

3 T. packed brown sugar

2 T. butter, melted

1 1/4 c. miniature marshmallows, halved

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix sugar and cinnamon. Arrange bread sliced ona baking sheet. Brush with butter; sprinkle with sugar mixture. Bake until lightly browned, 5-7 minutes. Remove from oven; preheat broiler.

Mix sweet potatoes, pecans, brown sugar, and butter; spread over toasts. Top with marshmallows, pressing lightly. Broil 3-4 inches from heat until marshmallows are lightly toasted, 1-2 minutes.

So easy and tasty too!

Enjoy!

I’ve loving all you can do with the Painted Poppies stamp set and today I’ve teamed it up with the So Sentimental Stamp set for a #simplestamping project that is my March thank you card.

This card is #simplestamping since it only requires 2 ink pads and card stock. It’s also a great for new stampers since you can combine the sentiment set with the image set of your choice.

I’ve used one of my favorite colors – Coastal Cabana to create these wonderful bright poppies. And since poppies come in all kinds of colors you could change it up with your own color choice.

Lovely Day Note Card Tutorial

Posted on March 3, 2020 by Stamp with Jini

The Lovely Day stamp set is found in the February Paper Pumpkin Kit and is just beautiful. So I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it and start creating. Here is what I came up with.

I reached for my Note Cards & Envelopes (144236) since not only is this a great size, but it is wonderful choice since you get both the card base and envelopes in one package at a great price, making it a economical choice. I’ve colored it with our Stampin’ Blends. I love this coloring choice since it gives us such vivid colors and they really are sooo easy to work with. And coloring is relaxing too which is an added bonus, right?

Here is a quick video showing you how I created this card.
