A Fond Farewell to The Open Sea

Posted on April 27, 2016 by Stamp with Jini

One of my long time favorites, The Open Sea is on the Retirement List. I love anything nautical and this set provides a lot of versatility and creates wonderful graduation and masculine cards.

Check out these wonderful cards made with this set.

I’ve included a supply list for this card below. And here are some fantastic swaps I’ve received in the past.

And how about this one – it uses a photo stamped with our image as it’s focal point?

And here are a couple more for you.

And finally some note pad sets that I made with the Open Sea and Sea Street sets (133985/133988) that is also on the retirement list. Cute right? I’m going to miss that Scallop Circle Punch!

Nautical Fun & Bonus Deals!!!

Posted on June 30, 2015 by Stamp with Jini

It’s summer and as it heats up that means the beach and pool time. And since my summer memories always include Lake Michigan, when I ran across these memo pads I couldn’t resist picking up a few to make little gifts for some friends along with one for myself of course.

Red, white and blue – nautical colors and perfect for these little note pads. I let the note pads dictate which stamp sets I used. And the images went perfectly with the Open Sea and the Sea Street stamp sets.

And check out this one that I made for my friend Janie who deserves a bit of pampering lately. I hope it will remind her of some fond memories from her trip to New England last year.

What do you think? Fun right? I’m hoping my friends will like them.

Yesterday the whole area was down most of the day before we could get the internet back. And for now I’m working on my blog from my daughters computer which makes things a bit more challenging to post since Kaitlin’s system is so different from mine. 🙂 Everything else of course is normal but the blog is a bit tricky for me. Old dog….new tricks you get the idea. LOL

Sea Street Nugget Box Tutuorial

Posted on August 21, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

Today’s project is one that my Team made recently during our monthly meeting – I call it a nugget box and it is made with our NEW Hamburger Die that you can find in the 2014 Annual Catalog on page 233.

This die is a lot of fun and you can make such quick and easy treats with it for all kinds of occasions. And it’s a die – so need I say more? I love dies. It’s one of the things that brought me to Stampin’ Up! in the first place. Yes, I’m a Big Shot addict! LOL.

It’s been a bit since I’ve posted a video and I’ve been wanting to share this with you for a while so….

Sea Street & Luau Launch Party

Posted on June 24, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

Saturday I held my annual Luau Catalog Launch Party. Everyone had a chance to see the new products, pick up a catalog, and be treated by me!

This year everyone was able to make this cute little card using the Sea Street stamp set (133985/133988) and our fun new Designer Series Paper, Maritime (133696).

I really love this little set, it is great for all kinds of cards like this birthday card, and of course summer themed items, like my Luau Launch Party. And for anyone who loves nautical items it’s a must have. (Ooops – that’s me!)

Check out all the great images in the set – don’t you just love this little octopus?

And what’s not to love in this fun coordinating paper?

Do you love Designer Series Paper? I know I do and I’m tickled to tell you that starting July 1st Stampin’ Up! will have a special promotion – Buy 3, Get 1 free! Whoo hoo! (I’ll be posting more details about the sale on Tuesday, July, 1st).

Of course one of the things I love to do is pamper my guest at these events, so I had a little snack table with Luau themed food.

Several of you had asked for the recipes on Saturday so I thought I would share them with you over the next few of days along with some of the other projects from the Luau.

This first recipe is for these yummy little Mini Fruit Pizzas that I made using the fresh Blueberries from my yard.

They were a huge hit with my guys too – And since they were so quick and easy to make we’ll be adding them to our summer favorites! You can stop hovering now boys – LOL (You’ll be happy to know they had their own little pizza party after dinner Saturday night!)

Mini Fruit Pizzas

1 pkg. (18 oz./20 count) Refrigerated Sugar Cookies

1 pkg. (8 oz.) Cream Cheese, softened

2 tbsp. frozen Limeade concentrate, thawed

½ c. powdered sugar

10 fresh strawberries, quartered

1 kiwi fruit, peeled, cut in half lengthwise, cut into 10 slices

½ c. fresh blueberries

½ c. fresh raspberries or blackberries

Bake cookies as directed on package. Cool 10 minutes or until completely cooled.

Meanwhile, in medium bowl, combine cream cheese, limeade concentrate and powdered sugar; beat until smooth.

Spread each cooled cookie with 1 tablespoon cream cheese mixture. Arrange fruit on top of each cookie.

Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate up to 2 hours.

Makes 20

Stop by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing a new video tutorial with you for my cute little Beach Bag Post it Note Holder that everyone who attended received.
