Pumpkin Pie Goodie Gear Simply Created Kits

Posted on October 21, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

They’re not just for Halloween! Our Goodie Gear Simply Created Kits are a great bargain – you’ll get all kinds of goodies in this kit. Not only will you be able to make 10 quick and easy goodie bags, but you’ll have plenty of goodies left over to use in other ways too! I was pleasantly surprised by just how much you get in this kit when I opened it!

Here is a picture of my first goodie bag, basically following the suggested idea from the Holiday Catalog (on page 32) – and using only what was included in the kit. Quick and easy to do.

I used Bermuda Bay Classic Ink to stamp the sentiment using the coordinating stamp set Oh, Goodie (131886/131889) onto the precut banners included. Used the Pumpkin Pie stickers to make a “v” across the tag, and attached the sentiment. Filled the bag with some yummy candy corn M&Ms and finally I used the Bermuda Bay Baker’s Twine to tie a bow. How much easier can that get right?

And here is my “stepped” up version

For this one I used some fall peanut butter M&Ms to jump start my color pallet. I still followed the same basic design, but I added a little texture to the tag using my Chevron Embossing Folder. Added a strip of Cajun Craze card stock beneath the Pumpkin Pie sticker and snipped the ends to create the same shape as the banner. I stamped the sentiment in Cajun Craze Classic Ink. Don’t you love that everything is pre cut for you in this kit? Added one of our pre cut leaves from the Thankful Tablescape Simply Create Kit (133463) and finished it off with our yummy Summer Starfruit 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon (126846) to add a little sophistication.

Which one do you like the best? Both were a hit in my house. And yes, believe it or not I made it past my husband and son with the chocolate – LOL. Good thing I almost got the goodie bags done before they found me!

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Oh, Goodie! (131886/131889)

Inks: Bermuda Bay (131171) and Cajun Craze Classic Pads (126965)

Paper: Cajun Craze card Stock (119684)

Accessories: Pumpkin Pie Goodie Gear Simply Created Kit (132792), Thankful Tablescape Simply Created Kit (133463), Summer Starfruit 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon (126846), and Chevron Embossing Folder (127749)

Halloween Flip Card

Posted on September 17, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

I love our new Thinlits Card Dies and today I wanted to share with you the Halloween card I made for my Team swap last Thursday. Here is the outside.

And here is the flip side – taking a picture was a bit more challenging with this card – so I hope it shows it well enough.

My Halloween Flip card uses our NEW Circle Card Thinlits Die (133480). It makes this card sooo easy to create. And Flip or swing cards as they are known while a lot of fun, were more difficult to make the old way, before these dies.

There are two Thinlits Dies available The Circle Thinklits Die (133480) that I used here, and the Label Card Thinklits Die (133479). Check out all the great additional pieces you get too.

I based this card on a Halloween Punch Art card that I shared with you earlier HERE. Since I loved the silhouette image I knew that was where I wanted to start. But I simplified it so that the flip card was highlighted too. What do you think?

One of my favorite things about stamping is the camaraderie of stamping with friends. When we moved to Clarkesville in 2006 I wanted to find things local and became very frustrated with the fact that I couldn’t find what I wanted. The long drive to the mall quickly became frustrating when I returned home to find the items I purchased didn’t work with my project I wanted to do. So I turned to my Stampin’ Up! Catalog that I received during a stamp-a-stack event that I went to with my friend Michelle. And so my journey began – with all the products coordinating so well and the wonderful friends I made stamping I quickly found my crafting became a lot more fun.

How about you? Have you ever thought about becoming a Demonstrator? Would you enjoy stamping and learning more about stamping? Why not check out my Calendar of Events or learn more about joining my TEAM, The Blue Mountain Stampers? Whether you want to earn the 20% discount on your paper crafting supplies or earn a little extra income I think you’ll enjoy the Stampin’ Up! experience too.

Halloween Punch Art

Posted on August 30, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

Yesterday I saw the first yellow leaves fluttering by my window – the first sign of fall being right around the corner. For some reason that just hasn’t registered with me yet – I know the calendar says it’s Labor Day weekend, but with all the rain and cool weather we’ve had this summer it just doesn’t feel like it to me.

Did you know that there are only 62 days left until Halloween? There are no costumes that I have to sew or parties to plan since our children are older but I still enjoy sending cards and making up some goodies to hand out. So today I wanted to share with you this fancy fold Halloween Punch Art card. I love the clean and simple silhouette images of this card.

More…. Frightening Feline

Posted on October 11, 2012 by Stamp with Jini

Here are a couple more swaps that I received using the Frightening Feline stamp at Regional.

This first card was given to me by Cindi Skelton

And this second card I received from Leishan Williams. I love the texture and sparkle on the punch art pumpkin. And can you believe the image was created in My Digital Studio.
