Hello Life Valentine Petite Cafe’ Bags

Posted on January 20, 2015 by Stamp with Jini

Have you seen the Hello Life stamp set found on page 31 in the Occasions Catalog? I find myself reaching for this fun set time and time again. The images are a great size for all kinds of projects!

Here is a Petite Café bag that I created for my daughter and her friends for Valentine’s Day during my weekend retreat.

Can you guess what the treat contains? There is a funny story attached to this treats and everyone at the retreat thought it was rather funny what I was placing inside when I showed them what I was working with!

I chose our Petite Café Bags since they were shape “forgiving” and my little treat was an odd shape. Here is the completed bags – one for each friend.

Want to know what is inside? Well of course I had to add a little bit of chocolate since who can’t use a little chocolate in their lives, right? But the “big” item my daughter picked out while checking out the clearance isle in our local Wally world…….

Yep…. Play-doh! Would you believe? I was shocked when she got so excited about this find on the shelf. But apparently she and college friends are going to have a blast with the Play-doh. She picked out a different color for each one to have during those stressful college days! LOL. I’m hoping she’ll take some photos for me. I’d love to see the group and what they end up making together! (Isn’t it great – It’s fun to see that little glimmer of the young child she used to be – my kids loved spending hours playing with the homemade play-doh on our kitchen table. Sigh… they grow up sooo fast!)

New Weekly Deals start today!

Good for one week, until January 26th at 11:50 p.m. (MT) – you can get these great deals!

Hey, Valentine

Posted on January 14, 2015 by Stamp with Jini

Do you need some fun and images for Valentine’s Day? If you do then the Hey, Valentine set (137135/138570) may be just the set for you. Great as a card, note or use as a treat topper over our 1″ x 8″ Cello Bags this set makes things so easy and quick!

Here is a card that I made during my weekend retreat using this set. I just love the Stacked with Love Designer Series Paper Stack (137779) for card making since it gives you lots of choices and multiple sheets that are just the perfect size for cards or small treats!

I’ve used my Stampin’ Blendabilities Markers to color in these cute little fish – and if you haven’t tried them yet why not earn a set or two for FREE! During Sale-a-bration you can choose our Stampin’ Blendabilities as one of your FREE items (find the complete list in the Sale-a-bration Brochure or click HERE).

And today, I thought I’d share a personal photo of the view out my window, or lack there of! LOL Believe it or not their is a beautiful hillside view the fog is hiding.

I don’t know what the weather is doing in your neck of the woods, but here in Clarkesville it’s like pea soup – Thankfully I didn’t need to go out today since visibility is awful – but I do have to say I miss the sunshine. One thing about living in Wisconsin growing up, it may have been very cold, but it seemed like it was always bright in the winter. I guess it was the snow reflecting the light, but then it’s been a long time so maybe it is just my childhood memory isn’t really that accurate. Anyhow – seems like a good day to stamp since I feel like cocooning!

Stamp Set: Hey, Valentine (137135/138570)

Inks: Memento Tuxedo Black (132708)

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?

Sale-a-bration starts soon!

Serene Silhouettes

Posted on February 4, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

Yesterday I showed you a Valentine project using the A Round Array Stamp Set. Today’s card uses the Serene Silhouettes stamp set as it’s focal point, and same sentiment from the A Round Array. (The A Round Array set is really a great all occasions set with some lovely images. Want to see them all – click here.)

I really love the images in the Serene Silhouettes (132073/127324). I think they are elegant and timeless and can be used with all kinds of occasions.

I stamped this card during Leadership during one of the Shoebox Swaps. (I wish I could tell you who designed it, but there was no name included.)

I really like the colors chosen and the layout. The Red Glimmer Paper gives it some “bling” and a pop of color, just right for Valentine’s Day. But I think this layout works well for other occasions too. What do you think? Can you see a birthday or even a sympathy card with just a couple of changes?

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Serene Silhouettes (132073/127324) and A Round Array (129087/129090)

Inks: Marina Mist (126962) and StazOn Black (101406)

Paper: Red Glimmer Paper (121790), Basic Black (121045), and Whisper White (100730)

Accessories: 7/8″ Scallop Circle Punch (129404), 1 1/4″ Scallop Circle Punch (127811), Basic Black 1/8″ Taffeta Ribbon (119261), Bitty Butterfly Punch (129406), Small Heart Punch (117193), and Stampin’ Sponges (101610)

Sweetheart Treat Bags

Posted on February 3, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

Did you know that our A Whole Lot of Love promotion has been extended until February 14th? What does that mean? You can still get the great products and kits until February 14th – Yippie, right? Click HERE to see more about A Whole Lot of Love promotion and the items that are included.

Here is project I made with the Sweetheart Treat Bags (134610) and the Love You to the Moon stamp set (133140/133143) and stepped up a bit with a couple of things not included in the kit.

I filled this little Sweetheart Treat Bag with chocolate kisses and then stamped my image from the Love You to the Moon stamp set in Real Red (126949). Punched it out using the Ticket Duo Builder Punch (126883) and layered that onto a Real Red punched ticket that I cut in half. Stapled a little piece of our Pool Party Seam Binding Ribbon (125582) and the banner that comes in the kit to the bag to seal it, and then added my image using a dimensional. Quick and easy peasy!

You can see my Sweetheart Treat Bag with just the kit elements HERE.

Want to see a Valentine 3d swap that I received during Leadership? This one is great project for the kids or even a teacher to use for class Valentines.

It just requires some pencils and our 1″ x 8″ Cello Bags (124134). The cute little image from the A Round Array stamp set (129087/129090) was stamped in Real Red and punched out with our 7/8″ Scallop Circle Punch (129404). Then layered onto a 1 1/4″ Scallop Circle Punch (127811) with a piece of Real Red 1/4″ Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon and attached to the cello bag.

How much easier can it get right? Any child would love this as their class treat. A new pencil was always a hit with my kids.

Crazy, Mixed-Up Love

Posted on January 27, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

Today’s little treat is such a great Valentine treat. I think it is just too cute!

This treat uses the little plastic condiment containers any they can be filled with any type of small candy. Here is a side view – this one is filled with M&Ms.

This little treat was made using the Crazy, Mixed-Up Love stamp set (131068/131071) from the 2013 Annual Catalog (page 30). The images in this set are fun and quirky.

I received this as one of my 3d swaps during Leadership from Lyssa Swolanke, one of my fellow Demonstrators. It’s cute and easy to do using the chalk board technique for the image. Just embossing the image using White Embossing Powder and then use a sponge to rub on a little of our Whisper White Craft Ink. How much simpler can you get, right? And what a great little treat to send to class with your child.

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Crazy, Mixed-Up Love (131068/131071)

Inks: Whisper White Craft Pad (101731)

Paper: Kaleidoscope Designer Series Paper (132995), Pink Pirouette (111351), Basic Black (121045), and Mellon Mambo Card Stock (115320)

Sweetheart Treat Bags

Posted on January 23, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

Here is a quick and easy Valentine treat for family and friends using our Sweetheart Treat Bag kit (134610). The Sweetheart Treat Bags kit comes with 12 heart sacks, banners and Baker’s Twine, all ready pre-cut and ready to use. So it made this project sooo easy – just stamp, fill, tie and go!

The image on this bag is from the Love You to the Moon stamp set from the Occasions Catalog (page 25). I chose set because the images and sentiments are great for all kinds of occasions, not just Valentine’s Day.

After all who hasn’t told their child, “I love you to the moon and back”? Of course the note will work perfectly for my daughter, since music is her thing – so we’ll be making these up as a little surprise for her friends at school.

Stampin’ Up! has made up several kits to make your Valentine’s Day quick and easy – why not check them all out?
