It’s Love at First Sight

Posted on February 4, 2016 by Stamp with Jini

Have you check out the First Sight stamp set found on page 36 of the Occasions Catalog? It’s a great set that includes all kinds of images that are great for all kinds of projects – not just Valentine’s Day. In particular the vine images are great to create collage type backgrounds.

Today’s card is one I stamped for a good friend of mine that I’ve know for years.

I think she’ll enjoy getting this card in the mail for Valentine’s Day. And since she loves her flower garden I know she’ll enjoy the little images that fit perfectly inside our Sweetheart Punch!

Bloomin’ Love Note Holders & More

Posted on February 3, 2016 by Stamp with Jini

Today’s projects are some that I made for my daughter and her college friends. After all who doesn’t need post its when you’re writing all those college papers, right? I know my desk is littered with all kinds of notes – over the years them become my to do lists. LOL!

I found these cute little note pads at my local dollar spot and knew they would be perfect for the kids. This first one is an easel holder. I wanted to make it look like the notes conversation hearts – so I chose one of the sentiments and stamped it onto So Saffron card stock and then punched it out using my Sweetheart Punch (133786).

I used the soft Wisteria Wonder pattern from the Have a Cuppa Designer Series Paper Stack (140567) to add a bit more umpf. And keeping it soft, I teamed it up with the Mint Macaron and Blushing Bride card stock. The colors once again reminded me of the conversation hearts that have been around forever.

This second little note pad is a bit more elegant and holds the second post it note pad that came in the package – since it only had two little hearts in the corner of the pad I went a bit bolder and used our Birthday Bouquet Designer Series Paper (140655) and pulled the colors Watermelon Wonder and Mossy Meadow for the card stock base.

I then used my Stampin’ Write Markers to color the stamp. I added a third color, Early Espresso, for the words and of course once again the Watermelon Wonder and Mossy Meadow from the In Colors.

I love punches, they make things so easy and my 2″ Circle was perfect for this sentiment. If you’re new to stamping our circles and scallop circles are a great place to start – they’ll make quick and easy focal points such as these!

And the final project for today is a card that uses the Bloomin Love stamp set.

It’s raining once again here in North Georgia so it was tough to get a good photo. I hope you can see the richness of this Gold Embossed heart. Maria used the soft Blushing Bride card stock and teamed it up with our Basic Black for this classic look.

So which is your favorite?

I love the way Roxie created a quick and simple background using our 1″ Square Punch and pieces of Designer Series Paper. Reminds me of a quilt – which for me evokes warm fuzzy memories of bundling up on a cold winters night.

Groovy Love

Posted on January 2, 2015 by Stamp with Jini

I’m hoping everyone had a wonderful New Years Day and will find 2015 a healthy, happy, and prosperous one!

Well my New Years Eve was rather crazy since I had to handle last minute unplanned appointments for follow up tests – so I didn’t get to post the project as planned. Bad news for my plans, but good news for me. LOL

The house was also filled with quite a few young adults who had come to ring in the new year with our children. Some of the gang crashed overnight in my classroom on the floor! Here they are around the breakfast table on New Years Day – It was a very late night but lots of fun and they worked up quiet an appetite the night before. (That is our son, Johnathan on the right.)

So instead I’m playing catch up and I’m going to share our project that we made at the Customer Appreciation Day with you today.

This card that I cased uses the Groovy Love stamp set (134243/134246) that you can find in our Annual Catalog (on page 110). The set has some fun trendy images that coordinate with our Sweetheart Punch (133786) so it’s fun and easy to use.

And do you see the Fun Frames Embossing Folder (133727) that we used as a back drop? We simply ran our card stock through the Big Shot without any tabs and then sponged it lightly with Crumb Cake ink to make it pop! Love the technique and the vintage feel of the card.

For my little bow I simply layered the Crochet Trim, Strawberry Slush Baker’s Twine and then pulled a few strands off my Burlap Ribbon and wrapped it around the two and tied my bow. Love this Burlap Ribbon it can be used all kinds of ways!

What do you think? Great for Valentine’s Day or what?
