I’m loving the new shades of purple that we have to choose from – of course I’m bias since purple is one of my favorite childhood colors. LOL! So I couldn’t help reaching for it to stamp today’s card that is going out to everyone who has a September birthday.
I’ve got my stack all ready to go
If you’d like a birthday card from me too. Why not email me at StampwithJini@gmail.com your name, address, phone number and of course birthday. Since we’re all 29 no need to include the year, that is unless you want to 🙂
I’ve also whipped up a quick tutorial for you so you can make some too. Why not check it out?

Yesterday I found this tutorial that I was working on to share with you that got buried on my desk after my husband’s accident earlier this month. So today I thought I’d share it with you – never too late, right?
I stamped this card to send out as my Thank You last month. It uses one of my favorite sets, Waterfront. It’s got tons of images that can be combined for all kinds of cards!
And without further adieu here is the tutorial too.

Have you seen the Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper yet it’s part of our July Buy 3 Get 1 Free Promotion? If you haven’t you’ll want to check it out since it is packed full of patterns that are great for making lots of cards since it comes in a 6×6 stack.
If your birthday is in July your card is already in the mail with a little special something just for you. But if not I thought I’d share this quick and simple card that highlights our Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper.
For this month’s cards I’ve used different patterns with the same colors and basic layout. I chose the So Saffron and Shaded Spruce since these two colors were prominent a lot of the papers so they were easy to make multiples.
It made this paper a natural choice when I needed to make lots of birthday cards for my #imbringingbackbirthdaysback. Here is what I came up with – multiple patterns with the same basic layout – which I just love since they look different enough I could send them to family too.
I’ve created a quick tutorial for you so you can make some too!
A quick personal note – I’ll be spending some time my family over the next week so my office hours will be reduced, but no worries since I’ve set up a week of tutorials for you to be inspired! As always you can reach me by email and phone.

#Imbringingbirthdaysback this month with the One for All stamp set – I loved stamping yesterday’s card so much during our team shoe box swap that I went to work creating and came up with this.
Done in Lovely Lipstick it’s bright and cheerful and perfect for the young and the young of heart! If you have a June birthday you may have already received yours!
Did you know that monochromatic cards are really popular right now? And they are great for the new stamper too, since all you need are a limited number of products. For the long time crafter they are also great since you can make an endless variety of cards simply by changing out the one color! Easily customization for your recipient’s favorite color. And with all the new colors to choose from this year due to the color revamp a great way to start collection some of the new colors too!

Saturday I held my 2018 Annual Catalog Kick Off and so I thought I’d share some information and photos from the event along with one of the projects too. After all who doesn’t love a tutorial?
These first photos are of some of the classroom displays, my son recently built this new cabinet for me. It’s still a work in process, but I’m loving it!
And everyone had a special treat at their place too. These were quick and easy to make with our 2″x 8″ Cellophane Bags (141703)
Here is what everyone’s spot at the table looked like
Everyone received a sweet treat, 2018-2020 In Color Book Mark, a Color Revamp Inventory Sheet in addition to a Shopping List, Catalog Corrections sheet, Catalog, and of course their Project supplies.
I thought you might want a couple of these things too. You’ll want to be sure to check out the Catalog Correction Sheet so you can mark your catalogs since there are some wrong prices listed in the 2018 Catalog.
Here you go – So you can print them off for yourself
2018 Color Revamp Color Collection Inventory Chart PDF
This chart includes Ink pads, refills, markers, blends, spots and card stock of both sizes! Simply print this off on a piece of Whisper White Card stock (double sided) and then score at the 3 5/8″ and 7 3/8″ marks along the long edge. It will fold easily into what you see above that way, and you can carry it along with you or tuck into your craft bag.
And of course – everyone got to stamp with the new colors and stamps!
It was a fun afternoon. Everyone seemed to enjoy the projects so much I thought I’d share them with you.
This NEW In Color just makes me smile-
Done in the bright and cheerful Pineapple Punch! How can you not love this cheerful In Color? This card is quick and easy to do. Why not check out my tutorial below and make some yourself?

Today’s cards are all made using the Crafting Forever stamp set (143955/143958). A perfect set for us crafters since it contains some wonderful sentiments.
This first card uses our In Color, Fresh Fig and is a quick easy card to make.
This next card I stamped at my Shoe box swap in Atlanta while at OnStage. I love the rich color combination of Island Indigoand Early Espresso. It uses the Post Script Background Stamp (143985/1439898) also. A great dude card for sure!

The Brusho Color Crystals are so much fun to play with I don’t want to stop! If you haven’t tried them yet, you won’t be disappointed with the variety of uses with your projects.
Here is a card we made during our April Team meeting that focused on different Brusho Techniques.
This card uses a simple masking technique that creates a wonderful look and was soooo easy to do with a bit of painter’s tape!
Want to make some too? Here is a tutorial for the card so you can play and create too.
And how about a video tutorial showing you just how simple it is?

Blue Mountain Stampers’ OnStage Stream Event
I love to share and so as a team we always gather together to share with those team members who weren’t able to attend the Stampin’ Up! event itself. We gather, have dinner, stream and stamp together with the new products introduced from the latest catalog – this time the NEW 2018 Annual Catalog & the color revamp!
Before the event my husband, Larry helped me do some prepping for one of our Make n Takes – everyone who attended was able to make a 2018 Color Ring with the NEW colors! He’s such a trooper! (Watch for information next month about how you can get one of these too.)
I always try to bring a little taste of OnStage back to the group. This time the lovely little butterflies that decorated the tables – at the end of the night team members were able to choose one to take home, just like at the event.
And of course you have to have some “swag” – So I created these fun little Mini Pizza Boxes (144645) using the Picture Perfect Designer Series Paper (145559)Â and our new Detailed Trio Punch (available June 1st).
The Mini Pizza Box contained a little charm to go on their key chain commemorating the launch of our new catalog.
And of course NEW product displays
And of course we HAVE to stamp – after all everyone wants to use some of those new products! So we did 3 Make n Take projects. (watch for me to share those projects soon)
Laughter, fellowship, and stamping – what could be better?
If you like to learn new ways to use Stampin’ Up! products and would like to be part of a fun group of stampers, my team the Blue Mountain Stampers might be just the thing you are looking for. Click HERE for more information about joining and getting a fantastic stamping kit too.
Stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing some great cards with you.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter. Here in North Georgia we couldn’t have asked for nicer weather, but it was rather odd having it fall on April Fool’s Day this year. Yesterday was also my son, Johnathan’s 26th birthday and so I wanted to make him something special. I was inspired by our recent Stampin’ Success, so I reached for my Bubble Over Bundle and got to work. (I bet you can imagine how many times I was told he’ll arrive any moment during labor, followed by April Fool’s Day! Not a lot of fun after 12 hours in labor and it being my first. But then I wouldn’t have those fun stories to tell him either. LOL!)
And of course, I always make a theme cake for him that was inspired by the Bubble Over Bundle. The cap is a little wonky but he didn’t seem to mind.
He loves the special theme cakes that I’ve made over the years for him and this one was no different. It put a big smile on his face, and I learned something too. Did you know you can make a beer cake? I didn’t until my friend mentioned it, but why not right? Need to check out some recipes since I know it will be a lot of fun to give a try. (How appalling after being raised in Milwaukee. Ahhh the smell of hops… a story for another time.) LOL!
Want to see how I made the card? I’ve made a tutorial for you.
I’m so excited later this week I’ll be attending our OnStage event here in Atlanta and I’ve been working on some goodies that I’ll be sharing with you later in the week for my team members who are attending too! A full day of stamping fun AND the new 2018 Annual Catalog is going to be unveiled too!!! Whoo hoo! It’s part of the fun and part of what I love about being a Demonstrator. Click HERE to learn about being part of my team and joining in the fun.
Speaking of the 2018 Annual Catalogs – I’ll be ordering these catalogs for my customers next month as they will ship in May.  If you have ordered a minimum of $50 from me in the last 6 months you’ll receive a catalog from me. If you’re unsure if you’ve ordered $50, you can contact me or login to my online store and check your order history.

I love to send out thank you cards each month to my stamping friends – It not only allows me to share, but say thank you to them for choosing me as their demonstrator. This month’s card is a monochromatic card made with the All Things Thanks stamp set, which is one of my favorites since it has a variety of fonts and sizes. It makes it a perfect set for all kinds of projects!
And the fact it is monochromatic makes it perfect for new stampers since it uses a limited amount of supplies!
Just a reminder as we head in to the last couple of weeks of Sale-a-bration. It’s a great time to finish up your color families and make sure that you have the products that you need and love AND earn FREE Sale-a-bration products. Ink Pads, Card stock, Ink Refills, and markers along with other accessories such as ribbons.
In particular you’ll want to double check your 2016 In Colors since these items tend to disappear fast once the retirement list is announced in mid April.
Stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing fun gift project using the Petal Palette stamp set!
