By the Dock & More

Posted on April 27, 2021 by Stamp with Jini

Sitting by the water… is there anything more relaxing? I grew up with Lake Michigan close by and always loved to go to the lake front and watch the water lapping against the shore. It really didn’t matter what time of year, each season was always lovely and had it’s own beauty, and they all had the same effect a calming peacefulness. Today’s cards all have that same thing in common water beach or lake they are all great.

These first two cards use our By the Dock stamp set (Retiring 151622)

This set has a great set of dies that coordinate with it too call Dockside (Retiring 151618) and is 60% off right now. And don’t you love the bit of Braided Linen Trim (retiring 147808) on the post of the dock for a bit of texture?

And how about this one done in traditional colors of red, white, and blue? A favorite color combo for summer time fun.

The ribbon is part of the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack (153620). And this next card uses the Seaside View stamp set (Retiring 152651).

The Swirly Frames stamp set (Retiring 146519) was used to frame the image and Water Painters (151298) to add color to the image. The background is a piece of our In Good Taste Designer Series Paper (152494) and the sentiment has been punched out using the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch (152883). And check out that Braided Trim that has been used again above the sentiment to add a bit of texture again. Pull it apart and you can add it to the side too.

And finally one of my favorite sets, Sailing Home (149457) filled with great sentiments and images of the sea.

So are you already thinking of vacation and already feel more relaxed? Which is your favorite? Did you know that items that are part of our Retirement List from the 2020 Annual Catalog? Yep, we only have until May 3rd (or while supplies last) until we say goodbye, but good news you can still get your favorite retiring items right now. So why not make sure you have all your favorites before they are gone?

More with Sailing Home

Posted on July 30, 2020 by Stamp with Jini

Today I’m thinking of the shore of Lake Michigan and the trips I used to make as a teenager to the beach in Milwaukee with my Beach Boys playing on the radio. Ahh… I’m dating myself but I used to love to watch the waves roll in and the boats on the lake. It didn’t matter what time of year it was always a wonderful view. It’s been many years since I’ve done that, but the memories still make me smile and bring back that summer time feel. So today I’m sharing some wonderful cards made with the Sailing Home stamp set.

This first card focuses on the sail boat and uses our wonderful Seabed 3D Embossing Folder (152700) and In Good Taste Designer Series Paper (152494).

The sentiment from the Rustic Retreat stamp set (150285) has been punched out with the Timeless Label Punch (149516). This next card uses some simple sponging to create the waves under the sail boat.

And these next two cards use some simple techniques to make them extra special. This first card uses a torn edge to create the land for the light house.

And this final card uses some simple sponging done in the corner. A simple mask was used to create the sharp lines, simply by placing a couple of sticky notes to mask off the area.

So simple, but striking with just Pacific Point and Basic Gray ink being used. So are you feeling a bit of my summer time vibe now? I think this last card is my favorite of the group today. How about you? Do you have a favorite? Why not leave me a comment and let me know which one you like best?

Team Time Sharing

Posted on September 23, 2019 by Stamp with Jini

Tomorrow is my team craft time, I really enjoy this afternoon of crafting together. It is a purely social event when we gather, bring project we are working on and enjoy each others company. Thinking about it earlier today made me realized I hadn’t shared some of the wonderful projects my team shared with me earlier this month.

So here we go – I love the variety of the projects they make. Such talented stampers they always inspire me with their projects.

This first card is a Pop Up Card that uses the Sailing Home Bundle (151066) and other items you can find in the Suite (152175).

Here is the inside – fun right? And did you know that the Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper (149481) is part of our Buy 3 Get 1 Free September Designer Series Paper promotion?

And here is a cute movement card using the Over the Moon stamp set (149331)

I just adore these little cows.

And here is a great use of those scraps you have laying around – a strip card using the sentiment from Free as a Bird (149468)

And how about this over sized card using the Daisy Delight Stamp set (143669) and coordinating punches (143713 and 149517) done in Gorgeous Grape?

And finally a fun fold card made with the lovely See a Silhouette Designer Series Paper (149443) another of our wonderful Papers that is part of the Buy 3 Get 1 Free Designer Series Paper Promotion this month and the Butterfly Gala stamp set (148580).

Well that is it for today – tomorrow I’ll share some of the swaps I received recently.

Blue Mountain Stampers’ Shoe Box Fun

Posted on June 24, 2019 by Stamp with Jini

Ahh… team retreats – there is nothing better than spending time with my peeps and our Team Retreats give us uninterrupted craft time together. Fellowship, sharing, and stamping – What could be better? A Shoe Box Swap of course!

What’s a Shoe Box you ask? Well it is a term we use to describe an event where everyone creates and then brings enough card kits or projects to share and we take turns stamping them. But why call it a shoe box? The idea is everyone puts the supplies in what else? A Shoe Box of course. LOL! You get the idea. Any ways, I also love these afternoons and the sharing.

Here are some of the cards we made during the Shoe Box.

This first one uses the Sailing Home Bundle (151066) and it’s coordinating Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper (149481).

And here is a clean and simple card – I love the bright colors and can you see the Wink of Stella we used on the butterfly wings? (Pictures just don’t do justice to the real cards).

The Butterfly Gala stamp set (148580) and the coordinating Butterfly Duet Punch (148523) make this a quick and easy card to make tons of quickly!

And here is a lovely Acetate Window Card using the Healing Hugs Stamp set (148223), still one of my favorites with it’s Distinktive stamps that make the flowers look so realistic.

And finally a pocket card using the Memorable Mosaic stamp set (149226), Mosaic Mood Specialty Designer Series Paper (149478), beautiful Mint Macaron 1/4″ Textile Ribbon (149480), and the really fun Flower Faceted Gems (149479). You can find this suite of products with even more coordinating products in our 2019 Annual Catalog on page 119.

Whew! Lots of stamping fun and a great variety of cards too.

Stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing my card tutorial using the Back on Your Feet stamp set. I’ve still got to do the video or I would have shared it with you today. I’m running a bit behind this week already since I was working on my organized swap by mail – more about these cards soon.

Yep – those packages are filled with fantastic cards using stamps from the 2019 Annual Catalog!!! A lot of work, but great fun too!
