Pampered Pets

Posted on April 23, 2021 by Stamp with Jini

In keeping with the animal theme of the last few days I thought I’d share some fun cards with you using the Playful Pets Suite (154136) of products. This Suite is filled with all kinds of fun products that any cat or dog lover will enjoy creating with.

and the little Playful Pets Trinkets (152465) are just adorable with the brushed finish on the silver hearts and bones.

This first card is a lot of fun and also uses our Pinewood Planks 3D Embossing Folder (Retiring 152320) and Layering Circle Dies (151770).

How cute is that? And if you like fun folds check out this next card with this adorable little pooch cut from the pack of coordinating Designer Series Paper (retiring 152489).

A quick and easy center easel card.

Or if you prefer use of Stampin’ Blends to color the images – they are a great way to add bold color quickly and easily like on these next two cards.

And if cats are more your thing check out this lovely pocket card using the Brick & Motar 3D Embossing Folder (149643).

Or this fun kitty with it’s attitude.

Here is a fun movement card.

And if you love them both or can’t decide, how about this last card?

Like I said it is a great Suite of Products. You’ll want to stock up on the accessories and Designer Series Paper since they are part of the Last Chance List that ends on May 3rd. Stop by my Online Store where you can see all the products on the Last Chance List and get yours before they’re gone.

Rooted in Nature

Posted on July 27, 2020 by Stamp with Jini

We are all trying to get out a bit more and spend a little more time with the great outdoors so today I thought I’d share some cards made with the Rooted in Nature stamps and Nature’s Root Dies. This bundle is super for year round cards, masculine cards and more since it is filled with some wonderful sentiments.

This first card is done in Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive.

It also uses the Woodland Embossing Folder (152881) to create some texture along with the Braided Linen Trim (147808).

This next card uses the same Braided Linen trim but this time teams it up with some layering.

First the leaves are stamped in Mint Macaron Classic Ink. Then slice of tree is stamped in Soft Suede and is fussy cut with Paper Snips. A little sponging along the edges not only adds depth but also helps hide the edges. It’s popped up along with the top set of leaves. And of course, one of my favorite punches is used for the sentiment. The Triple Banner Punch (138292) is one that I reach for over and over again, so it is a great addition to your collection.

And here is a great monochromatic card – a classic color choice of black and white never fails to impress.

A little sparkle is added with our Glittered Organdy Ribbon (147897).

And finally this last card is packed with a lot of texture.

It uses our Pinewood Planks 3D Embossing Folder (152320) along with the oak tree image which has been colored with our Crumb Cake and Early Espresso Stampin’ Write Markers for a cool effect.

So what do you think? Does it inspire you? Why not leave me a comment and let me know?

Stamp Set: Rooted in Nature (14648 2 )

Over the Moon

Posted on July 3, 2019 by Stamp with Jini

Ahh…cows and dairy country, the ones with the black & white spots. I was born and raised in the Wisconsin country side and these cows are a part of my childhood. Being raised in the dairy state meant drinking at least 3 full glasses of milk a day – and ahhh the cheese! I miss the farmer’s brick cheese that my grandmother use to get with it’s mild flavor and oh what fantastic grilled cheese sandwiches it made with it’s stringy goodness! I just haven’t had any luck finding something comparable here in Georgia where I live and our cows are brown or black, a shock the first time I learned they were dairy cows since I thought all cows looked our Holsteins. LOL

Anyhow, when I saw this stamp set in the 2019 Annual Catalog I knew it would be one on my shopping list for sure, and after seeing the great cards folks are making with I’m even more excited about the set! After all who can resist these little cows and their adorable faces?

And animals cards are typically great for all ages – The sentiments in this make it super for all kinds of occasions.

Check out these fun cards I received in my swap using this set

This first one is done in a classic color combination of red and black. Can you guess where the spots come from that were used for the back ground? They are are from the Love What You Do stamp set (147042). Isn’t it great the way we can use our Stampin’ Up! products together?

And this next one done in Pretty Peacock is teamed up with the Heirloom Frames Dies & 3d Embossing Folders (152325) along with our new Medium Daisy Punch (149517).

And here is one done in Daffodil Delight – I love the way the Pinewood 3D Embossing Folder (152320 available again soon) has been used to create the barn yard feel.

And my final card uses the bright and cheerful color combo of Pool Party & Calypso Coral.

The little flowers in the background come from the Colorful Seasons stamp set (143726) – so clever!

Same set – so many choices! It’s part of what I love about stamping – we start with the same stamp set and can create totally different looks just with our choice of color. How about you what is one of your favorite things about stamping? Why not take a few minutes and leave me a comment?

What does it look like when I do one of my swaps? I forgot to take a picture of what my classroom looks like covered up with cards, but I did remember to snap a picture before I loaded the packages to go to the post office for you.

I just love being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator and being able to share like this with others! If you love the idea of participating in this type of thing you might enjoying joining my team too.

Shoe box fun at the Blue Mountain Stampers’ Weekend Retreat

Posted on June 13, 2017 by Stamp with Jini

This past weekend was my 5th Annual Weekend Retreat – (wow it’s so hard to believe we’ve been doing this that long already!) This event is held each June so that we can gather and have fun playing with our new catalog goodies. It’s a laid back, full of stamping and laughter – just a great weekend of sharing and fellowship. I feel really blessed to have such a wonderful team.

There were a total of 8 of us this time and we had a lot of fun with a project Cindy has been wanting to try – Shrinky Dinks!

Several of the group had never played with Shrinky Dinks before, so you know what that means! Who doesn’t love watching them watch them curl up and shrink?

We also did a shoe box swap on Saturday, so I thought I would share the cards everyone made for it.

This first card is made with Pocket Full of Sunshine (143719) and the Pocket Framelits Dies (143750) that you can get in a bundle allowing you to save 10% (145345). I think it is a very fun set, perfect for those younger folks in our life.

And this next card uses the Daisy Delight stamp set (143669), Daisy Punch (143713) and the Wood Words stamp set (143925/143928). Can you guess where the scallop comes from?

It’s the Seasonal Layers Framelits Dies (143751).

The Oh So Eclectic Stamp Set (143937/143940) was used to create this lovely Powder Pink card.

And how about this great card made with the Daisy Delight Bundle (145361) and the sentiment from Swan Lake (142974/142977).

And the final card today, is a wonderful Masculine card made in rich bold colors using the Happy Birthday Thinlits Dies (143700). You are going to love the NEW 5/8″ Crinkled Seam Binding (144189) and

Pinewood Planks 3d Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (143708) since it creates a wonderfully deep, dimensional images!!!

Stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing my shoe box and a FREE tutorial so you can make one too.
