So Very Happy

Posted on May 28, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

Here is a card using the new So Very Happy Stamp Set (134231/134234) from the NEW 2014 Annual Catalog that will be available to order June 2nd. I’ve teamed it up with the new Moonlight Designer Series Paper Stack (133701). This stack if full of fun bold patterns to choose from. If you don’t already have one of the 2014 Catalogs contact me today to learn how to get yours.

I cut my squares 1 3/8″ and then used the Project Life Corner (135346) to round two of the corners. Stamped my image using the new Memento Tuxedo Black Pad (132708)and colored my flowers using the new Daffodil Delight Blendabilities Markers (130998). You’ll need the new Memento pad when working with our new alcohol markers and I can’t begin to tell you how much fun the new Blendabilities are to play with! You’ll get a chance to try them yourself during my Free Luau Catalog Launch Party on June 21st. (Click HERE to see my Calendar of Events and more information.)

News from the Holiday Catalog Premiere Party

Posted on October 7, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

Yesterday I held my Holiday Catalog Premiere Party – I always enjoy these events and sharing with you. I really appreciate you, my customers. You are the ones who allow me to share my love of stamping with you and I couldn’t do it without you!

I thought those of you who were not able to make it might enjoy seeing some pictures. So this first photo is the display table. The one side held all the goodies from the Holiday Catalog so that you could look, touch, and feel just how great the new products are. Isn’t it always better to see it in person? And the other side held my upcoming class samples.

This second photo is one of the goodie table. Can you believe I remembered to take a picture before everyone dug in – LOLl!

We enjoyed some Christmas cookies, warm carmel apple cider, and hot cocoa cupcakes. Considering it was almost 80 here in Clarkesville that seemed a bit odd – So I felt really special that my stamping friends chose to spend a beautiful fall afternoon with me stamping.

I just love the way these cute little cupcakes turned out – I found this idea on Pinterest and thought it was just too stinking cute.

The candy cane makes the little handle of the mug. And since it seems I’m hooked on cupcakes this year and filling this cupcake stand I found while bumming earlier this year, they seemed perfect for the occasion.

This final photo is one of the group stamping. Everyone stamped two different projects. One to take with them and then one for the Caring with Cards Program – afterwards they chose which charity they wanted their card to go. They could choose from four – Hospice, Holiday for Heroes, Operation Write Home and the Ronald McDonald House.

Want to learn more about my Caring with Cards Events? Why not click HERE and check out my Calendar of Events. I hold this event once a month.

The second project which I’ll share with you later this week was a Christmas card that I created using Warmth & Wonder, one of our Hostess Sets from the Holiday Catalog. I thought it would be fun to use one of the Hostess sets since during the month of October Hostesses can earn an extra $25 in FREE merchandise for just holding a qualifying party! Click HERE for more information about our special promotions this month.

I originally planned to post the little gift that I gave everyone in today’s post that included the tutorial. But unfortunately Windstream had different ideas (curse, latency issues – they make uploading my videos difficult some days.)

So stop back tomorrow and I’ll share the project with you then.

Think Pink

Yesterday kicked off Breast Cancer Awareness Month and so I thought I would share with you some pink themed cards that I received.

This first card uses the Serene Silhouettes Stamp Set (132073/127324) and is done in our 2012-2013 In Color, Primrose Petals. Silhouette stamps are great for all kinds of techniques and I really like all the images in this set they are great for all kinds of occasions.

Isn’t this a great card? I just love the softness of the Pink Pirouette and the Primrose Petals together. Sara used the Stippled Blossoms (132076/126747) and Field Flowers stamp sets (128583/122762) to create this soft look.

And this last card uses a combination of Soft Suede and Pink Pirouette. A color combination you can’t go wrong with, right?

I hope you can see that the flower image from the Everything Eleanor stamp set (131987/124164) has been popped up. This card has a lot of great texture to it.

The Open Sea

Posted on April 15, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

Need a great male card? The Open Sea stamp set is wonderful for making masculine cards and here is a great card that my friend Bonnie gave me recently during one of our demonstrator gatherings. I really like the way she used our Stampin’ Distressing Tool (item 127562) from the Spring Catalog to distress the edges of the card stock.

Did you notice that this card was created using our Not Quite Navy Ink and Cardstock that are being retired? Although I’m excited about the upcoming Color Refresh, I’m going to really miss Not Quite Navy. It’s always been one of my go to colors for masculine cards. I’m sure I’ll find myself reaching for our In Color Midnight Muse more and more when Not Quite Navy is no longer available soon.

I’m Feeling Sentimental about Bloomin’ Marvelous

Posted on March 20, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

Here are two more cards I wanted to share with you that my Team members gave me during our swap this month. I think they are both such fantastic cards that I didn’t want to not share them with you before the end of today.

This first card Cindy made and in addition to the Feeling Sentimental stamp set (item 1296237/129630) it uses our Natural Composition Specialty Designer Series Paper (item 126917). I love the richness and vintage feel of this card, don’t you?

And did you know that since the Natural Composition DSP has a raised pattern on it you can use it to create any color paper you’d like simply by adding classic ink with a sponge? Cindy also used our Apothecary Accents Framelits (item 127003) to create this great negative image where she placed her sentiment. How cool is that?

Tamara’s swap uses the Bloomin’ Marvelous stamp set (item 129651/129654) and just makes smile and think of spring. I love the colors she chose to go with the Summer Smooches Designer Series Paper (item 125409) she used across the bottom.

We have such fun together at the Blue Mountain Stampers Team meetings each month. Have you ever thought about becoming a Demonstrator? I would love to have you join in the fun.

Pinwheel Wishes Tutorial

Posted on February 26, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

Have you ever wondered what happens at one of my monthly Blue Mountain Stampers’ Meetings? Well I thought I would share with you one of the projects we made during my February TEAM meeting.

I’ve had several of you ask me if I knew any tricks on how to make these cute little pinwheels using our NEW Pinwheel Sizzlits Die from the Spring Catalog. They are sooo stinking cute, but they are small so they can be a challenge to put together if you don’t know a few tricks.

Since I made about 100 of them for my Leadership swaps in January I had plenty of time to try out different methods of putting them together. Today I thought I’d share with you what method worked best for me so I put together a Tips for Quick & Easy Pinwheels Video Tutorial to show you what I learned.

Want to make one of your own Pinwheel Wishes card? Well you can, just click Here for a FREE PDF TUTORIAL with measurements and directions just for you. I hope you have as much fun making these cute little Pinwheels as I did.

Blue Mountain Stampers’ Swaps

Posted on February 13, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

One of my favorite parts of being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator is spending time sharing ideas and projects with my fellow demonstrators. I’ve been so blessed with the friendships and the people I’ve meet while on my journey as a demonstrator with Stampin’ Up! I wanted to share a little bit about my team with you.

My Team’s name is the Blue Mountain Stampers, chosen due to fact that we live here in the North Georgia foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Recently we met for our monthly meeting and so today I want to share some of the wonderful swaps my team members brought along with them to swap.

First, I’ll share with you the swap that our newest member of the team made. Tamara recently joined my team when she took advantage of the Sale-a-bration promotion. (You can click HERE to see more information about the Sale-a-bration promotion.)

Tamara made this cute little Sweet Treat Box for Valentine’s Day using the adorable Owl Builder Punch (item 118074) and the Print Poetry Designer Series Paper Stack (item 129312) that she got in her Starter Kit. Filled with chocolate kisses it’s not only too cute but is sure to be a hit with anyone! (Quick hide it from my husband – Somehow he always knows when a swap contains chocolate!)

This next swap was created by Janie. Janie whom recently celebrated her one year anniversary as a demonstrator, gave us these wonderful cards and coordinating envelopes. I just love the way Janie thinks outside the box. She used the Polka Dot Parade Designer Series Paper (item 126902) and the Lovely Letters Alphabet stamp set (item 115030/127786) to create a personalized note card in different colors for each of us.

And finally Cindy who has been a demonstrator the longest now, brought these wonderful swaps using the Love You Much image from our NEW Best of 25 Years stamp set for February – Best of Love stamp set (item 132987) to create her two items.

I love the little envelope she made using the Sunshine & Sprinkles Designer Series Paper (item 126922). Doesn’t it make you smile just looking at it? The hearts were created with our Hearts a Flutter Framelits (item 130159). Both these great items can be found in our Spring Catalog.

The second item Cindy gave us makes a great gift item for someone’s desk. I really like the way Cindy used the More Amore Specialty Designer Series Paper (item 129309) to decorate the fabulous NEW Designer Builder Brads (item 129329) and binder clip don’t you?

Does this look like fun? Is this something you might be interested in doing? Have you ever thought about joining Stampin’ Up?

Now is a great time to join. With the special Sale-a-bration promotion not only will you get to choose your own starter kit for just $99 – You’ll get $156.50 in product! That is an extra 25% since Stampin’ Up! is celebrating their 25^th anniversary.

Whether you’re a hobbyist who wants to take advantage of our 20% discount to support your paper crafting habit or a business builder wanting to pay some bills – As a member of my Blue Mountain Stampers’ Team, you’ll have access to my support and resources to help you grow as a Demonstrator.

Two by Two

Posted on January 29, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

Here is a great card that I recently received from my friend Anna in our monthly Stamp Divas swap. Anna used the single stamp Two by Two (item 126788) to make this wonderful card. I just love the soft colors she used when coloring the Two by Two image – what a great baby card!

And who doesn’t like to be part of a larger group? I know I do, so once a month I enjoy the chance to be together with my demo friends -We share, laugh, stamp and enjoy each other’s company.
