#imbringingbirthdaysback with Daisy Lane in April

Posted on April 8, 2020 by Stamp with Jini

Wow, it has taken me a bit longer than I had planned to share this card with you – I can’t believe it is already the 8th and my birthday cards went out earlier this month already. Having everyone home including my adult children has been a crazy, but wonderful to have everyone under our roof again. It just creates a different rhythm to my day. lol

Any how here is the card – I used the bright and cheerful Bermuda Bay and teamed it up with our Daisy Punch and the Daisy Lane stamp set. I think it’s great for spring!

What do you think? Why not leave me a comment?

This card is simple to whip up and easy to make multiples of since our Designer Series Paper Stack has multiple sheets in each color.

Here is a quick video tutorial for you.

No Matter the Weather Note Card Tutorial

Posted on April 7, 2020 by Stamp with Jini

March’s Paper Pumpkin kit had 2 stamp sets – the one that came with the kit and then a bonus set that coordinated with it. And it seemed like a wonderful kit for right now. I really enjoyed putting it together and creating with the sets themselves. So today I thought I’d share my alternate project with you that I created as a thank you card for those who subscribe to the kit.

I use the Note Cards & Envelopes for these cards since they are a great value and wonderful for newer stampers since you receive the card base and envelope for one low price.

Here is my video tutorial showing you how I created this card – why not take a few minutes to check it out?

And a PDF that you can print off with a complete supply list

Ornate Thanks Card Tutorial

Posted on April 2, 2020 by Stamp with Jini

Sorry I didn’t get this posted as planned late yesterday, but with the announcement yesterday afternoon from our Governor and our son’s birthday I was feeling overwhelmed and needed a bit of time to process. I’m sure that you can relate. This morning brought a lovely new sunrise and a bright new day and so I’m back to share.

So here we go –

Today’s project is one that I made for my April Thank You cards using the Ornate Garden Suite Early Release Bundle of products that just went live yesterday. Filled with beautiful colors and floral images this card allows the Specialty Designer Series Paper to shine.

This stamp set is filled with not only a wonderful selection of sentiments it uses a lovely font also. The coordinating dies have some lovely borders that I can’t wait to play with too.

I’ve whipped up a quick video for you and a PDF with supply list so you can create this project too while were home.

#simplestamping with Painted Poppy

Posted on March 4, 2020 by Stamp with Jini

I’ve loving all you can do with the Painted Poppies stamp set and today I’ve teamed it up with the So Sentimental Stamp set for a #simplestamping project that is my March thank you card.

This card is #simplestamping since it only requires 2 ink pads and card stock. It’s also a great for new stampers since you can combine the sentiment set with the image set of your choice.

I’ve used one of my favorite colors – Coastal Cabana to create these wonderful bright poppies. And since poppies come in all kinds of colors you could change it up with your own color choice.

Here is a quick video for you so you can see just how simple this card is to make!

Well you’re in luck since today I found the card and I’m sharing this project along with some of the other Shoe Box Swaps that I made too.

As promised today I’ll be sharing the card I designed for the NE GA Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator Shoe Box Swap that I hosted last weekend. I really love the way this card turned out. Lovely Lipstick just seemed to be a perfect choice for this card since I was choosing the lipstick image.

I’ve used the coordinating Best Dressed Designer Series Paper stack for this project since I really like the fact it has both lovely floral patterns on one side and then graphic patterns on the other that play off the stamp set images. Great for all kinds of occasions cards this spring.

I’ve put together a video tutorial for you along with my standard PDF with the complete supply list and step by step how to.
