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.

Team Time means Fun with Friends

Posted on November 18, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

I love being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator because it means not only do I get to stamp with you, but it also means I have a Team of friends that I’m able to get together with once a month and share my passion with.

Today’s cards are some that I made during our last meeting. I love this time of fellowship and stamping – and these ladies have become great friends over the past 5 years that I’ve been a Demonstrator.

Want to see what we made together? I’ve got 4 cards to share with you today, all of them are very different.

This first card is made using the Festival of Trees stamp set (135059), Tree Punch (135859) and the All is Calm Designer Series Paper (135823) along with the yummy Lost Lagoon 3/8″ Silky Taffeta Ribbon (1358741).

This next one is made using our 2014-2016 In Colors and the For All Things stamp set (135152/135155). It is stamped on our White Vellum Card Stock (101856). I hope you can seem the shimmer of the Gold Metallic Encore Ink (132141) that the Gold Metallic Baker’s Twine (132975) picks up on.

This next card uses the Four Feathers (135050/135053) and Mingle All the Way (135770/135773) stamp sets along with the Color Me Autumn Designer Series Paper (135820) and the Under the Tree Specialty Designer Series Paper (132825). I love all the colors and texture on this card – Did you know you can cut the 1 1/4″ Burlap Ribbon using our Large Scallop Framelit (127019)? How cool is that!

And my final card that I’ll be sharing with you today is the Visions of Santa (135167) card. Simply punch out the Santa’s of your choice from the Santa & Co. Designer Series Paper (135821) using the 1″ Square Punch (124094) and voila! A quick and easy card that’s fun!

Spooky Spooky Designer Bag

Posted on October 2, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

I recently ran across these fun little packs of tic tacs for Halloween when I was shopping and just had to find a use for them.

I love to find fun ways to give a little something to my friends, and these are great for both guys and gals, so I created this little gift bag using our Motley Monsters Designer Series Paper.

To create the focal point I used my Fall Fest Stamp set and the coordinating Fall Fun Framelits Dies (Bundle 137628). I find myself constantly reaching for this set since it contains such a variety of images for fall.

I added a little piece of Natural & Old Olive Two Tone Trim by the stem. Can you see it? It thought it added a nice little touch of texture. And I used the Halloween sentiment from the Mingle All the Way stamp set on little banners. I simply colored the different parts of the sentiment image using my Stampin’ Write Markers and did each banner separately.

And of course the tails were easy since I used my Hexagon Punch. (What did we ever do before this punch? LOL)

Would you like to know how I made this great little designer bag? Why not watch my Video Tutorial HERE and I quickly show you how.

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Fall Fest (135194) and Mingle All the Way (135770/135773)

Inks: Memento Tuxedo Black Pad (132708), and Tangerine Tango Classic Ink (126946)

Paper: Motley Monsters Designer Series Paper (135819), Bermuda Bay (1311997), and Whisper White Card Stock (100730)

Accessories: Fun Fall Framelits Dies (135856), Natural & Old Olive Two-Tone Trim (135837), 2 1/2″ Circle Punch (120906), Handheld Stamper (135850) and Silver Mini Staples (135847), Brights Collection Stampin’ Write Markers (131259), Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker (100082), Hexagon Punch (130919)
