Simply Elegant Bows Video Tutorial

Posted on March 19, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

Last week I shared a sympathy card that I needed for a friend that had a simply elegant bow. I’ve needed several more sympathy cards again this week and so although the card is the same layout I’ve switched out the image for this one – I think I like this one the best. (I’ve had blueberries on the brain since they need fertilizing so maybe that is why.)

Anyhow, some of you have asked me how this bow was made and so I thought I would create a quick video tutorial for you. These bows are so easy to make that you’ll find yourself using them time and again on your projects. And since they are flat they are great for mailing too.

So here is my Simply Elegant Bows Video Tutorial

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Simply Sketched (Hostess 129669/129672) and Oh, Hello (131931/130733)

Inks: Midnight Muse (126860) and Pool Party Classic Stampin’ Pads (126982)

Paper: Midnight Muse (126843) and Naturals White Card Stock (102316)

Accessories: Midnight Muse 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon (102316), Stampin’ Dimensionals (104430), and Glue Dots (103683)

Simply Sketched Masculine Birthday

Posted on March 11, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

My nephew is celebrating his birthday this week so here is the card I’ve made for him.

It’s a clean and simple card but I think very elegant at the same time.

I hope you can see the detail in my photo. Instead of adding a ribbon along the bottom I decided to use my Simply Scored Scoring Tool to add three lines an inch up from the bottom that are 1/8″ apart. In addition to the scoring I added 3 of our yummy Subtles Collection Candy Dots but a little pop of color.

Why did I choose the Naturals White Card Stock for the base? It is a heavier card stock than our Whisper White and has a great look to it with the tiny flecks of color found through out the card stock. I think the Naturals White card stock has a great earthy feel to it which made it perfect to go with the nature images found in this stamp set. And since it comes in a pack of 40 sheets for just $7.50 it is economically a great choice too.

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Simply Sketched (Hostess 129669/129672) and Oh, Hello (131931/130733)

Inks: Midnight Muse (126860) and Pool Party Classic Stampin’ Pads (126982)

Paper: Midnight Muse (126843) and Naturals White Card Stock (102316)

Accessories: Simply Scored Scoring Tool (122334) and Subtles Collection Candy Dots (130933)

Simply Sketched Sympathy Card

Posted on March 4, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

Seems like lately I’m finding myself in need of sympathy cards. So today I worked on one for a friend who recently lost her mother. This card I created is clean and simple and I really like the way it turned out.

I created this card using the Simply Sketched Hostess Stamp Set (12969/129672) and the Oh, Hello Stamp Set (131931/130733) from the 2013 Annual Catalog. Stamped in Midnight Muse the images from the Simply Sketched Stamp Set are perfect for sympathy cards. I’ve used the Naturals White Card Stock since this card stock is a bit more muted and earthy feeling.

As a final pop of color I’ve used the Midnight Muse 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon (126847)to make an elegant bow across the bottom portion of this card. And great news this ribbon is part of this week’s Weekly Deals – so why not order yours today?

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Simply Sketched (Hostess 129669/129672) and Oh, Hello (131931/130733)

Inks: Midnight Muse (126860) and Pool Party Classic Stampin’ Pads (126982)

Paper: Midnight Muse (126843) and Naturals White Card Stock (102316)

Happy Watercolor

Posted on February 24, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

This past week I found myself in need of some sympathy cards and the Happy Watercolor stamp set (133188/133191) from the Occasions Catalog (page 22) immediately came to mind.

Why, you may ask? Because recently I had the chance to work with the Happy Watercolor stamp set at a retreat and fell in love with it. It is really so cool since it really does look like you’ve water colored the images. I’m not sure exactly how they do it, but how cool is that right?

So here is my card. I used the sentiment from the Simply Sketched Hostess Set (item 129669/129672) and stamped it in Basic Gray. I just love the sentiments from this Hostess set, the font is just lovely and rather elegant.
