Trusty Tools & more

Posted on June 10, 2024 by Stamp with Jini

Father’s Day is right around the corner so today I thought I’d share some wonderful cards to celebrate those Dads in our lives. The Trusty Tools Stamp Set (163274) includes great all occasions sentiments along with

sentiments for Dad in addition it has a set of Trusty Tools Dies (162722) that coordinates and gives you even more options.

This first card made with the set uses the die to create a pegboard background and is done in Real Red, Blueberry Bushel and Gray Granite. The word Dad has been stamped and cut out with Paper Snips and Adhesive Backed Sparkle Gems (161288) were added to recreate the pegs they hang from. For a more nature look this next card uses the Country Woods Designer Series Paper (163393)

to create a backdrop for the tools and sentiment. A bit of Baker’s Twine Essential Pack (155475) wrapped around the layered panel adds a bit more color and texture. And for a final card today using this stamp set a simple thank you card.

The brushes are “dipped” into the Classic Ink and then dragged to create the paint look for this cool look. Our Metallics Enamel Effects Basic (161610) were used to create the dots on the metal band for each brush and the Hammered Metal 3D Embossing Folder (160766) adds a bit of industrial feel to the background.

How about turning our eyes to the sky with this next card? The Take to the Sky Suite Collection (163832) includes everything you need to create wonderful projects with it’s shades of blue. The Adventurous Sky Bundle (163447) makes me think of my step father who took flying lessons when I was in high school. I was so proud of him when he was able to fly solo!

This card is a fun fold called a Criss Cross Card and have a fun way it opens. The little flap that is created with the fold

can be used to hold a sentiment or even a gift card

Do you love simple stamping and an easy technique? This next card using the Beside Me stamp set (160780) has been stamped on Very Vanilla Card Stock using Crumb Cake Classic Ink.

The background has been dry embossed with the Hammered Metal 3D Embossing Folder (160766) and Early Espresso Classic Ink has been sponged across the texture to highlight it.

My final card today uses the Gone Fishing stamp set (161535) and coordinating Gone Fishing Dies (161541) and is perfect for those dads who love to fish. A piece of the Country Woods Designer Series Paper (163393) mimics the stamped water in the bottom left section of the “tackle box”.

These sets are great sets for creating masculine cards for Father’s Day and more. And during June our Die Bundles are 20% off making it a great time to get your favorite Bundles at a discount too.

More Christmas Gleaming

Posted on December 4, 2020 by Stamp with Jini

Yesterday I shared some quick and easy cards with you using the Christmas Gleaming stamp set and it’s coordinating punch. Today’s cards add an extra step making them what we called stepped up. They are still cards that you can make easily, but they do require a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine since they include Embossing Folders too.

This first card is a fun fold card. It uses our beautiful Copper Foil Sheets (142020) to bring out the copper highlights of the Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper.

The foil has been run through the Hammered Metal 3D Embossing Folder (150646) for some added texture . The lovely sheer Pool Party Ribbon (152462) tops off the two punched ornaments. Open it and you have a lovely sentiment inside.

Love texture? This next card not only uses the same Hammered Metal Folder to add texture to the Copper Foil, it adds a lovely swirled background too.

The Parisian Flourish 3D Embossing Folder (151474) was used to emboss the Sahara Sand background and the copper tone Star Designer Elements (150430) are used in the bottom corner tying all the copper elements on this card together.

So what do you think? Why not leave me a comment and let me know which style is your favorite? Yesterday’s quick and easy or today’s stepped up versions.

Freezin’ Fun

Posted on November 19, 2020 by Stamp with Jini

Winter isn’t winter without some fun freezing in the snow. Or at least that is how I felt as a child growing up in Wisconsin. That first snowfall was always so much fun! Childhood memories or being wrapped up tight with my scarf. There were times I was so bundled up to go out and play I waddled out the door. And as a teen I got to learn how to ski with friends on school field trips to Little Switz. Ahh… the memories cool noses and toes. So the Freezin’ Fun stamp set immediately spoke to me when I saw it.

After all who can resist these cute little animal images? And these images are perfect for coloring a number of ways too. While all these cards use our Stampin’ Blends for a fun bold color you can also you aqua painters or Blender Pens with our Classic Ink too for a softer look.

Want to see some cards? Here are 3 great cards using this set. This first one is done in Seaside Spray and Pacific Point.

The little racoon is cut out with the Freezin’ Friends Dies (153561) and has our lovely 1/4″ Metallic Ribbon (150446) from the Annual Catalog along with the Hammered Metal 3D Embossing Folder (150646) for texture.

And this next card uses the money saving Freezin’ Fun Bundle (155176) to create this wonderful winter ski scene.

And finally this last card creates a wonderful winter scene using the fun shadow box card technique.

I can’t pick a favorite. Can you? Why not leave me a comment and let me know which one you like best?

If you like this stamp set as much as I do, why not check out my upcoming class? It’s a fun class where we’ll be making some holiday treats and gift items. You can find more information on my Calendar of Events HERE.

It’s a Timeless Tropical kind of day

Posted on June 30, 2020 by Stamp with Jini

It’s hot and humid in North Georgia today which makes it the type of day you want to sit back and sit a cold drink in the shade. That is until the afternoon storms arrive. lol So today I thought I’d share some cards with a tropical vibe. Check out the set it is filled with wonderful images and uses a beautifully fluid font for the sentiments too.

The cards I’ll be sharing with you today were all created with the Timeless Tropical stamp set (151497) and their coordinating dies, In the Tropics (151495). This first one looks like a pretty picture. The frame was created with our Stitched Rectangle Dies (151820) and sponging was used to create the lovely sunset. A circle Mask was used it’s a simple technique – all you have to do is cut out of a circle from a sticky note, put in place and then sponge around it as desired. Striking right?

And how about this next card? It uses a simple torn edge technique to create texture and interest.

More texture was added with the Subtle (151775) and Hammered Metal 3D Embossing Folders (150646) along with a bit of sponging too.

And finally, this last card today is a fun fold card

When you open it you’ll get a wonderful surprise. Once again the Hammered Metal 3D Embossing Folder was used to create interest on the inside along with some sponging to highlight the pattern.

So what do you think? Feeling a tropical vibe too? Stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing some more cards using this fun set that is great for all kinds of occasions and scrap booking too!

Cards, Cards, Cards…..

And now onto the penguins.

As many of you know I love penguins and collect them. (While my husband has banned me from displaying ALL of them in my kitchen like I did in our first home, you’ll still find some scattered about, especially during the holidays! LOL) My very first set that I purchased from Stampin’ Up! was a penguins set. I can’t resist these little guys! So needless to say it was one of my first choices from the Holiday Catalog.

So anyhow, I wanted to share these cute little playful penguins with you today –

This first card is simply gorgeous in person done in Gorgeous Grape and Seaside Spray. The Hammered Metal Embossing Folder was used for the back ground and then highlighted with some of our Frost White Shimmer Paint (147046) and our Dazzling Diamonds (133751) was then added to make it sparkle.

The NEW Shimmer Crystal Effects were also used for the garland that is wrapped around the penguin. Some Whisper White Baker’s Twine was added first, then some Shimmer Crystal Effects and finally some of the Snowflake Sequins.

And how about some perfectly plaid and traditional holiday colors for some very dapper penguins?

Do you like a little shimmer for your cards? If so you’ll want to check out our Shimmer White Card stock – it adds just a bit of shimmer and is perfect for winter cards like these. I also love it for water coloring and techniques since it is a bit heavier than our Whisper White card stock.

Make sure you don’t miss out on today’s promotions and then don’t forget to stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing a fun project, tutorial and video with you!

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Playful Penguin (150532)

Paper: Shimmery White Card stock (101910) and Wrapped in Plaid Designer Series Paper (149596)

Accessories: Hammered Metal 3D Embossing Folder (150646), Snowflake Sequins (150443), Shimmery Crystal Effects (150892), and Shaded Spruce/Gold 3/8: Striped Ribbon (149597)
