A Perfect Day for Vintage Verses

Have you ever had one of those days? We’ll I’ve just spent the morning putting up 8 heads of cabbage that my son Johnathan grew in his garden. I’ve got to say that I was impressed when he picked them earlier because they were so large and was looking forward to using our favorite recipe when I put it up.  Since they’ve been sitting in my frig taking up so much room I decided I had better do something with them, right? Well fast forward a bit – to make a long story short I should have paid more attention to what I was doing!

After cooking up over half of the cabbage I realized I was using ground mustard instead of ground ginger to season the cabbage with! Thankfully my little oops didn’t turn out so bad, and actually my husband might even enjoy it – since now the cabbage has a bit of a kick to it!  However, I’ll be paying more attention as I make the rest of the batches up the right way.

So all this got me to thinking of a card that I made at Leadership using the Vintage Verses Stamp Set (item 129633/129636) that is currently available as a FREE Sale-a-bration item. I thought the verse was appropriate for today.

Last Minute Christmas Gifts

We’ll its busy around the house today getting ready for Christmas but I wanted to share with you a few things quickly.

First I wanted to share a couple of the wonderful cards that my stamping friends have sent me. This first card is from Randy and uses one of our retired stamp sets Scenic Season which she embossed in Silver. Don’t you love the way that Stampin’ Up! items work together! It doesn’t matter if it has been retired for a while or brand new.

Scenic Season

Mary made this card using the Bird Builder Punch

And this last card was made by Janie. I love the way that Janie used our Early Espresso Core’dinations paper from the Holiday Catalog. She ran the punched Scallop Oval pieces through the Big Shot first using the Fancy Fan Embossing Folder and then used our White Emboss Powder to add the “snow” on the cones. Isn’t it great a great technique?

Core'dination Pine Cones

All of them are so great that I’ve also posted some on my facebook page – so you can see more cards there. (Just type in Stamp with Jini and become my friend.)

And now for my gift items – Saturday I shared with you my Peppermint Stick Sugar Scrub gift item that I made for my family and friends. Today I thought I would share with you the matching bags I made to go along with them. I really like the way they turned out and using our wonderful Designer Rosette Die made the rosettes so quick and easy! If you missed my Peppermint Stick Sugar Scrub post you can click HERE to read more about it.

 

And last but not least my husband saw all the goodies I was making and decided that he wanted to give some to his co workers too. Of course I made chocolate tents for the guys and the ladies will receive these cute notepads.

Festival of Prints notepads

I used our Festival of Prints DSP Stack from the Holiday Catalog to cover them and then used our punches for focal point which includes their initial. I hope the ladies will enjoy them. Here’s a close up.
