Team Time & Happy Hauntings

Posted on October 14, 2015 by Stamp with Jini

Last week I got together with some of my team, shoe boxes and stamps. We had a fun evening together stamping. So I’ll be sharing some of the items we stamped together that evening over the next few days.

This first set of items Janette created and brought for us in her shoe box. I love making treats for Halloween and these two are just too much fun. Any little kid would love getting them or even us big kids. LOL

This first item holds home made chocolate treat and uses our Merry Everything stamp set (135068/135071) and the coordinating Note Tag punch (135860).

Cute right? Don’t you love the little witches hat made out of our Black Glimmer Paper (139605) holding the top of the bag together? The hat is made using the Tree Punch (135859), 2 1/2″ Circle Punch (120906), 1 1/4″ Circle Punch (119861) and the Bow Builder Punch (137414). There is a Clothes Pin (133764) on the inside to make is easily removable.

And this second item is just as much fun too.

The little pixie stick holder is decorated with our Sweet Hauntings stamp set (139702/139705) from the Holiday Catalog. Along with the fun sentiment we used the Happy Haunting Designer Series Paper (139584) again for this project. I love the little plastic spider put on the top of the holder – it adds a eeak! factor. LOL.

Like I said creating treats is fun and makes them extra special and I think these two are going to be a hit!

Stop by again tomorrow when I’ll be sharing some more projects we made.

Giving Thanks & the Curvy Keepsake Box

Posted on November 26, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

As promised here are some quick little boxes I made using the Curvy Keepsake Box Die (135853) that you can whip up for your Thanksgiving guests or anytime you want to tell someone you’re thankful.

I love the way this first one turned out. I think the Color Me Autumn Designer Series Paper (135820) looks like Indian corn. I think that is what it’s called any how.

I’ve used the Mingle All the Way stamp set (135770/135773) and colored the sentiment using my Cajun Craze, Soft Suede, Blackberry Bliss and Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Write Markers and stamped on Very Vanilla card stock (101650). And I punched out my sentiment using the Note Tag Punch (135860).

I added a piece of my Mossy Meadow 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon (133670) and added the tag to my box using my Handheld Stampler (135850) and Silver Mini Staples (135847). I just love this little stapler it’s just the right size and feels great in my hand!

This next box was made using the Merry Everything Bundle (135860). Once again I colored the sentiment using my Stampin’ Write Markers. This time I chose Baked Brown Sugar, Calypso Coral and Real Red that my Nordic Noel Designer Series Paper (135822) had in the pattern.

I simply punched a hole in the top of my tag with my 1/4″ Handheld Circle Punch (134364) and used my Calypso Coral 1/2″ Seam Binding Ribbon (134569) to tie it onto my box. I love the bright pop of color that the Calypso Coral bow gives it – very festive I think.

And now a more traditional look for my holiday table.

Here is my Curvy Keepsake Box made up to look like a pumpkin. I used Tangelo Twist card stock (133646) and added some texture using the Arrows Embossing Folder (132187). Ran some Mossy Meadow card stock through my Big Shot using the Feathers Framelits Die (135852) to use as the leaves. I added them to my pumpkin by punching a hole with my 1/16″ Handheld Circle Punch (134363) and inserting a 1/8″ Mini Brad (122941) through the hole. Then I simply squeezed a piece of Natural & Olive Two-Tone Trim (135837) between the feathers and tied it onto my box. Voila! a lovely little pumpkin to hold some after dinner mints.

Fun little note cards…

Posted on November 10, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

I love making these fun little 3×3 note cards. They are quick and easy to make and a great way to use up those little pieces of Designer Series Paper that you have laying around.

These note cards I made use some of my Motley Monsters Designer Series paper (135819) that I’ve got left over from my Halloween cards.

Of course, one of my favorite tools are punches. Love, love, love punches. They make things quick and simple and this combination of 1 3/4″ Circle and 2 3/8″ Scallop make a quick and simple focus point for my 3×3 note cards.

So what do you think? Here are a couple of more note cards that I created recently to tuck into my orders.

This last one is made using the Merry Everything stamp set (135068/135071) and it’s coordinating Note Tag Punch (135860). Of course you can get these two items in a money saving Bundle (135860). I used scraps from the Trim the Tree Designer Series Paper Stack (135824) and Crisp Cantalope Thick Baker’s Twine (135636).

Just a couple of quick reminders

Merry Everything!

Posted on October 29, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

Here are two more great cards that I want to share with you and they share a color theme. Can you tell me what it is? LOL.

This first card uses the Merry Everything (135068/135071) and the Fall Fest Stamp sets (135194) from the holiday catalog. I love the fact that not only does Merry Everything cover all your fall holidays but it also comes with a coordinating punch too – the Note Tag Punch. Ahhh… and you know how punches are one of my vices. LOL

This second card was given to me by Jeannette and uses our Gorgeous Grunge set (130514/130517) along with the exclusive Hostess set Good Greetings (135014/135017). Oooo… I’m going to miss using these fun sentiments.I just love the font that the 19 different sentiments are done in. This set is such a great deal and you only have a few more days to earn it before it is gone!

So can you guess the color theme? Leave me a comment and let me know what it is and which card you like best.

My idea of the perfect pumpkin

Posted on September 12, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

Ahhh… it is September and here in North Georgia that means the mornings are cooler, the leaves are starting to turn and pumpkins are starting to appear in the stands on the side of the road. Not too long ago it would have meant getting ready to sew a Halloween outfit for my children. I loved planning and putting together costumes based on their current passion at the time. After all who doesn’t like a good craft project LOL!

I’m feeling nostalgic today (stepping back in time 19 years) and thought I’d share a picture with you for my children’s first Halloween together. Johnathan was 3 and thought that dad hung the moon. Larry was a Animal Control Officer with Gwinnett County at the time and so of course, Johnathan wanted to grow up to be just like his dad. I created this costume using one of the old discarded uniforms that I cut down and modified – Kaitlin of course was a puppy. Although most people thought she was a bunny – LOL. I’m not a seamstress by any means, just using my middle school home ec. skills, but Johnathan didn’t care. He wore this costume a lot playing dress up and pretending he was going to work just like dad!

Now a days there isn’t any costume sewing or pumpkin carving, but I still love to decorate and make treats for friends and family – and so the new Curvy Keepsake Box Thinlits Die is perfect for fall. I’ve been having a blast making all kinds of projects with my newest Thinlit!

Today’s project is a quick and easy one when you use the Curvy Keepsake Box Thinlit – Here is the down and dirty details of how I made this project.

Using Tango Twist card stock I ran the Thinlits Die through my Big Shot twice. Then I ran the pieces through again using my Decorative Dots Embossing Folder. I used some of my Multipurpose Liquid Glue to attach the two pieces. (Our Multipurpose Liquid Glue is great for items with lots of texture.)

Next, I stamped the image onto Whisper White card stock using my Memento Tuxedo Black Pad and colored this cute little guy with my Old Olive Stampin’ Blendabilities Markers. This cute little Dracula image drew me to this stamp set from the beginning! (Remember you can get the stamp and punch and save 15% when you order them as a bundle 137635/137636).

We don’t carry any Old Olive ribbon in the width I wanted so I simply made my own with the Whisper White 5/8″ Satin Ribbon and my Old Olive Blendabilities Marker. I love that I can customize my ribbon this way – It is soooo easy to do! (Scroll down and you’ll see a quick video tutorial on how I did this.)

I used our cute little Handheld Stapler to attach the punched image and ribbon to the box, put the handles through the hole and voila – finished!

I think this little pumpkin turned out just right. What is your perfect pumpkin?

Another great reason to have our NEW Stampin’ Blendabilities Markers – I’m really loving them and think you will too! Want to learn more about Blendabilities? Watch for my upcoming Blend with Friends Events – it’s a great way to get started!

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Merry Everything (135068/135071)

Inks: Memento Tuxedo Black Pad (132708)

Paper: Tangelo Twist (133677) and Whisper White card stock (100730)
