Better Together

Posted on August 29, 2017 by Stamp with Jini

Need a wonderful set that covers all kinds of occasions? Check out the Better Together stamp set (141733/141736) that was used to create this fun card.

Done in our NEW 2017 In Colors, Powder Pink, Berry Burst and Fresh Fig it’s bright and cheerful and will bring a smile to anyone’s face.

And how about this fun party hat from the Celebrate You (143775/143778)

Yep, that is our new Decorative Ribbon Border Punch (143721) and Ruffled Dynamic Textured Embossing Folder (143699) being used. I can’t wait to get my hands on these two new items later this week when they arrive!

Want to see a couple more cards?

Classic Black & White – It uses the Label Me Pretty Bundle (145304/145305) that includes the Label Me Pretty stamp set (143858/143861) and Pretty Label Punch (143715).

And finally here is another card that uses the Bloomin’ Love (140643) and Hardwood stamps (133032/133035) in addition to the Decorative Ribbon Border Punch (143721)

Isn’t it pretty? I love the way the pop of Real Red looks along the edge.

Stop on back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing some more cards with you!

Botanical Invitations

Posted on April 20, 2017 by Stamp with Jini

I always do a celebration for those that qualify for my FREE Event during Sale-a-bration and so today I thought I would share the invitations that I made for everyone along with a PDF tutorial for you.

This card uses a couple of the items on our Retirement list that I’m sad to see go specifically the wonderful Gorgeous Grunge (130514/130517) which is wonderful for collage or creating backgrounds with interest and the Botanical Builder Framelits Dies (140625) since they have these wonderful pop up areas to the flowers that create wonderful 3d effects.

Here is the tutorial that I’ve created for you – so you can make some too!

Hey, Chick!

Posted on February 9, 2017 by Stamp with Jini

I loved this quirky little set the minutes I set eyes on it – after all who doesn’t like chickens? So today I wanted to share this fun card that Jackie gave me in my recent swap.

All Ye Faithful & Weekly Deals

Posted on October 6, 2015 by Stamp with Jini

Today’s cards are use the new stamp set All Ye Faithful which contains wonderful sketched images for Christmas.

This first card not only used the All Ye Faithful stamp set (139898/139901) it also uses the Hardwood Background stamp (133032/133035) to create the stable.

The card was stamped with Be a Star (135734/135734) and was cut out using the Star Framelit dies (133723). And can you see the embossed stars behind the manager? They were created using our Lucky Star Embossing Folder (135817).

This card has lots of texture that draws your eyes to the focal point.

This second card was given to me by Tanisha and while it uses the same All Ye Faithful stamp set it has a very different feel to it.

I just love the colors and berry pattern found in the Home for Christmas Designer Series Paper (139592) that was used behind the rich and elegant Very Vanilla 1 1/4″ Subtle Stripes Satin Ribbon (139616). How about you?

Which is your favorite? Why not leave me a comment and let me know?

More Team Fun….

Posted on November 19, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

Yesterday I shared with you some of the projects we made and today I’ll be sharing some of the swaps that I’ve received during my Team Meetings.

I love this first card that Cindy made with all the texture – it feels like it just jumps off the card.

Can you believe the fence was simple to make? Cindy stamped the Hardwood Stamp (133032/133035) onto Crumb Cake card stock and then used the Triangle Punch (133375) to create the pickets. Simple, right?

The sentiments are from the Honeycomb Hello set (134075/134078). The colors in this Designer Series Paper helped making the choice of colors for this card easy! Do you know what Designer Series Paper was used for the banner? If you guessed Color Me Autumn (135820), you’re right!

This next card is from my Team member Tamara and uses the Seasonally Scattered stamp set (135020/135023).

This card uses a easy sponging technique.

Are techniques something that you would like to learn about? Why not check out this month’s up coming Technique Tuesday class? There is still time to sign up and you’ll learn two fun techniques that are easy to reproduce. Click HERE for my Calendar of Events and more information.

Here is a card made using For All Things (135152/135155). You know this is one of my favorite fall sets – you can’t go wrong with it.

I love the way that Terry pulled a couple of threads from the 1 1/4″ Burlap Ribbon (132140) for her bow. And do you know how she created the corners for the sentiment? It is simply our Project Life Corner Punch (135346) that has been used on two opposite corners. Easy, but adds a great touch.

And this last card that I’ll be sharing with you today is a swing card made using our Circle Card Thinlit Die (133480). This die makes a swing card soooooo easy!

Teresa used the Making Spirits Bright stamp set (135086/135089) found on page 48 in the Holiday Catalog. It’s a fun set that is easy to miss – but includes fun quirky sentiments along with it’s images. If you haven’t seen it why not check it out?

The Motley Monsters Designer Series Paper (135819) was used to give this card a fall feel.

So what do you think? Which is your favorite? Why not leave me a comment and let me know.

Wondrous Wreath

Posted on November 11, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

Love wreaths? Well then you’ve got to get the Wondrous Wreath Bundle (137624) from the Holiday Catalog – It’s so much fun to work worth.

And this stamp set is a photopolymer two-step stamp set so lining up the three layers of the wreath are soooo simple! Want to see how I do it? Why not check out my video tutorial HERE.

For this card I started with the Hardwood Background stamp (133032/133035) which is a great stamp to have on hand. (I really tend to use this a lot for masculine and fall cards. Of course, with my guys in the family who love to woodwork this stamp was a no brainer for me – since I use it for my scrapbooking projects too.)

I love the rich colors you find in our 2014-2016 In Colors so I chose Mossy Meadow as the backdrop for this card and added the Blackberry Bliss berries and bow. I’m seeing this color all over the stores when I’m out – so it’s right on trend.

So what do you think? I’m hoping my family and friends will enjoy receiving this card in the mail next week. And I think the thought is very fitting for today, Veterans Day. For especially on today, I give thanks for all those wonderful service men and women who protect our freedom and our country. I’m sure like myself, you have many family members who have served over the years and have made personal sacrifices to do so. They are a very special group of people our service members!
