It’s Wicked Cool

Posted on September 20, 2012 by Stamp with Jini

I made this card a while ago and have been meaning to share it with you. I love the little witch’s feet in the Wicked Cool Stamp set, don’t you? I guess I’m dating myself but they always remind me of the shoes sticking out under Dorothy’s house at the beginning of the Wizard of Oz. I remember being so scared watching that move as a child. I ramble, anyhow back to my card.

Coloring directly on the stamp is a great way to color any image and that is what I’ve done here with the Wicked Cool image. Can you guess which punch I’ve used for the broom? It’s the Owl Builder – You can use that punch for all kinds of things! (Click HERE to see my recent “Got Milk” Tutorial using the Owl Builder Punch.) And did you notice the Basic Jewels? I just used my orange Sharpie ® to color my Basic Rhinestone. Yep, now you can any color Basic Rhinestones you desire what a great tip, huh?

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Wicked Cool

Inks: Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive

Paper: Whisper White, Old Olive, Rich Razzleberry, Basic Black and Pumpkin Pie

Accessories: Big Shot, Spider Web, Woodgrain, and Chevron Embossing Folders, Apothecary Accents Framelits, ¼” Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon, Basic Rhinestones and Sharpie ®

Jack of All Trades Lolly

Posted on September 15, 2012 by Stamp with Jini

Do you need a great stamp set for both Halloween and fall? How about the Jack of All Trades stamp set? It’s such a great set that can be used in so many wonderful ways. It is one of my favorites to use for so many things, and with that cute little Harry Potter “feeling” hat I really couldn’t resist putting it on my shopping list.

I found these wonderful lollies at my local dollar store recently and their just in time for Halloween goodie giving. So, I grabbed my Jack of All Trades stamp set and got to work. My TEAM enjoyed making one of their own lollies, during our TEAM meeting this past Thursday evening.

How about you? Do you have someone who would enjoy this Jack of All Trades Lolly?

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Jack of All Trades and Tiny Tags

Inks: Rich Razzleberry, Basic Black, Lucky Limeade and Pumpkin Pie

Paper: Howlstooth & Scaringbone DSP, Whisper White, 2011-2013 In Color Designer Series Paper Stack, and Whisper White

Accessories: Rich Razzleberry ¼” Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon, Paper Snips, 2 3/8″ Scallop Circle Punch, and Jewelry Tag Punch

Wondering which punch I used for the medallion? Would you believe it is our Scallop Circle punch? Well here is a quick tutorial on how I did it.

Scallop Circle Medallion Tutorial

First punch out you scallop circle.

Next using a sticky note as a handle, slip the scallop circle back into your punch. And off set the scallops as shown.

Punch again and you have your scallop circle medallion. It’s as easy as that!

Fun with Googly Ghouls

Posted on September 10, 2012 by Stamp with Jini

Boy, it seems like all I’ve been doing is running at warp speed lately with all the things going on around here. So I wanted to slow it down a bit and share some of the things that I’ve been stamping. Fall is one of my favorite times of year. The days start to cool a bit, school is all new and exciting for the kids and the holidays are around the corner.

I love to make little treats for people so when I recently held a class with a new group of ladies and wanted to give them a little something special. Chocolate is always a winner, so I pulled out my NEW Holiday Catalog stamp set Googly Ghouls and got to work. This stamp set is just a lot of fun to work with. The images are sooo cute and full of humor – who can resist.

The Googly Ghouls Stamp Set can be purchased as part of a bundle or alone and have our NEW Googlies adhesive backed googly eyes that coordinate with them and bring them to life.

For this project I kept it simple and just stamped the Googly Ghouls images in StazOn Black on Whisper White card stock and then used my 1 3/8″ and Scallop Circle punches. I just love our punches they make things so quick and easy to do!

I think these little Googly Ghouls peppermint patties turned out super cute. The girls liked them on Thursday night – how about you?

P.S. Thankfully my hubby wasn’t home so I was able to get a shot of the chocolate before they were all gone!

Blue Ribbon

Posted on August 22, 2012 by Stamp with Jini

I think everyone should have a stamp set that is fun for kids and easy to use. I think Blue Ribbon could be that set. Not only is it very versatile, but it’s easy enough for your child to use with you. Anything with a coordinating punch is a lot of fun. And not only does the Blue Ribbon set coordinate with punches, and our Designer Series Paper, World Spectacular, but it also coordinates with our Bitty Banners Framelits – now who doesn’t love our new Framelits, they are sooo easy to use!

I don’t know about you but my guys are always willing to punch things out. So that makes the Blue Ribbon stamp set almost fool proof, since you don’t have to worry about making sure things are straight.

Here is a card I received from Amy at convention using the Blue Ribbon Stamp set – isn’t it great?

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Blue Ribbon

Inks: Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, and Daffodil Delight

Paper: World Spectacular DSP, Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, and Daffodil Delight and Very Vanilla

Accessories: 1 3/8″ Circle Punch, 2 3/8″ Scallop Circle Punch, Paper Snips, Big Shot and the Argyle Embossing Folder
