Spooky Spooky Designer Bag

Posted on October 2, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

I recently ran across these fun little packs of tic tacs for Halloween when I was shopping and just had to find a use for them.

I love to find fun ways to give a little something to my friends, and these are great for both guys and gals, so I created this little gift bag using our Motley Monsters Designer Series Paper.

To create the focal point I used my Fall Fest Stamp set and the coordinating Fall Fun Framelits Dies (Bundle 137628). I find myself constantly reaching for this set since it contains such a variety of images for fall.

I added a little piece of Natural & Old Olive Two Tone Trim by the stem. Can you see it? It thought it added a nice little touch of texture. And I used the Halloween sentiment from the Mingle All the Way stamp set on little banners. I simply colored the different parts of the sentiment image using my Stampin’ Write Markers and did each banner separately.

And of course the tails were easy since I used my Hexagon Punch. (What did we ever do before this punch? LOL)

Would you like to know how I made this great little designer bag? Why not watch my Video Tutorial HERE and I quickly show you how.

Stamp Set: Fall Fest (135194) and Mingle All the Way (135770/135773)

Do you love the fun and colorful Designer Series Papers that Stampin’ Up! offers? I know that I find I use Designer Series Paper all the time to jump start my creative process – since Stampin’ Up! has coordinated the colors in each package for you it makes projects easier when you aren’t sure which way to go.

Today’s project is one that I made using our Color Collection Paper Stacks – specifically the Neutrals Collection. There are lots of sheets in this pack, so it is great for all kinds of projects – and this one uses just a quarter of the sheet. So you’ll get 4 little designer bags per sheet -Now you can make one for all your friends! LOL.

This project is one that my group, The Blue Mountain Stampers made last night during our monthly get together. Everyone seemed to have fun creating their own little bag – whether you want to place a gift card or just a little treat, the ideas are endless with this basic little designer bag.

Hot Diggity Dog!

Posted on September 9, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

Well today is going to be a baking marathon type day at my house. I’ve got two bags of bananas sitting on my counter top that I ran across last week on sale that are just calling my name. And it’s a good thing too since Larry just last night mentioned he was hunting for muffins in the freezer and couldn’t find any. LOL

I really enjoy my days holed up in my kitchen with the tunes cranked and the aromas filling the house. How about you, is baking one of the things you enjoy? Got a banana muffin recipe you love? Want to share it? Email me a copy ([email protected]). I love trying new recipes out and someone else’s favorite it always fun to try!

But before I get baking I wanted to share with you this cute little project that I made for the dog lovers in my life using the Hot Diggity Dog stamp set. This cute set was one that I had to have when I saw it since the images are cute and the sentiments are so much fun.

I’ve done my little Fry Box in Georgia bulldog colors for those UGA fans so this little guy seemed perfect for this project. Too cute, right?

I’m planning on making up a bunch of these for my friend’s pets for Christmas this year. Just a little something, something for the four footed family members. And wouldn’t it be a great little gift for someone who just adopted a new pet too?

I wanted to share with you my tip for creating the panel of color in the back of the Fry Box so I thought I’d put together a little video tutorial for you. Here is my Hot Diggity Dog Fry Box Video Tutorial. Why not check it out?

So what do you think? Fun? This Fry Box Die is great for all kinds of occasions – what would you use it for? Why not leave me a comment and let me know? And thanks in advance for taking the time to leave me a comment.

You’re Wonderful

Spring Sampler Treat Box Tutorial

Posted on March 19, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

I made this cute little treat box using the Spring Sampler Stamp Set (item 125510/125512). I knew when I saw this set in the Spring Catalog I just had to have it – it’s so me. I could picture making quick and easy treats for all kinds of occasions.

I think the images in the Spring Sampler Stamp Set are just too cute! How about you?

Here is the Treat Box we made as a project during my March Blue Mountain Stampers meeting. We had a lot of fun thinking of different things (mostly chocolate) that we could put in the box. This time we filled them with these yummy eggs (They come in all kinds of flavors and remind me of those I got as a child.) Shhh… don’t tell my family. They’ll be finding theirs in their rooms Easter morning. I think my hubby will love the cookie dough egg I picked out for him!

We had so much fun making these quick and easy Treat boxes I thought you’d enjoy making them too for your friends and family. So why not check out my new video below – Spring Sampler Treat Box.

Spring Sampler Easter Treat

Posted on March 15, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

Easter is right around the corner and will be here before we know it. So I’ve been creating some little treats for family and friends filled with these cute little chocolate covered bunnies I found at the local Dollar Store. I just love using the Spring Sampler Stamp Set (item 125510/125512) from the Spring Catalog. I knew it was a must have set for me since it makes a quick and easy focal point for any project. And since the Spring Sampler Stamp Set has 24 images you can use it for all kinds of occasions!

I gave this little treat out for my swap at my monthly Blue Mountain Stampers meeting last night. They were so quick and simple to make since I used our Petite Pocket Die (item 123131). Do you recognize the Designer Series Paper? Well it’s Parkers Patterns (item 131021) from the Spring Catalog, and it’s not just for guy cards. These fun bold geometric patterns are great for a variety of projects like this Easter project!

Hearts a Flutter Valentine Treat Boxes

Posted on February 14, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

Earlier today I mentioned I would share with you the Valentine Treat Boxes I made for all my Valentines today. I love these cute little boxes they are so quick and easy to make and they can be filled with an assortment of things. Today of course they are filled with chocolate!

I found these Russell Stover chocolates at my local drugstore and thought they sounded yummy – as luck would have it they were just the right size too for my Valentine Treat Boxes!

I think it is safe now to share these with you since I don’t think my kids will be looking at my blog today and I’ve already given my husband his. Here are some close up shots of each of the boxes.

I’ve used the Hearts a Flutter stamp (item 129249/129252) from the Spring Catalog set to create the focal point on each of these little boxes. The Hearts a Flutter is such a fun stamp set to use I find myself reaching for it for all kinds of projects. This first box is my husbands and he got his as he headed out the door for work. (Somehow I don’t think the treat will make it all the way to Lawrenceville.)

This second box is for my son, Johnathan. Although I made this box using more masculine colors I couldn’t resist putting a little “bling” on it. So I used my sharpie to color one of our Basic Rhinestone Jewels (item 119247).

And this final box is for my daughter, Kaitlin – so I made it using softer colors. I just love the Primrose Petals 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon (item 126844), it’s so great to work I find myself reaching for it quite often.

I really can’t decide which box is my favorite. Which one do you like the best? Why not leave me a comment below and let me know.

Would you like to see more Valentine’s Day projects? I’ve posted more projects on my face book page Stamp with Jini?

I love making cute little treat items to give out to family and friends; so when I saw the Googly Ghouls stamp set in the Christmas Catalog it seemed like a great choice for one of my Chattanooga Regional swaps. You can make quick and easy treat items with the Googly Ghouls images. This treat happens to be made with our Two Tags die and holds a chocolate nugget. Isn’t it cute? Which Googly Ghouls image is your favorite?

Want to add alittle Googlies to your Googly Ghouls images? Why not try our self adhesive Googlies at only $2.50 for a package of 50 they’re a deal!
