Wondrous Wreath Bundle Tips

Posted on September 26, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

Here is another card that I’ve created using the Wondrous Wreath Bundle (137624). I’ve changed the basic design up a bit and have tried this wreath using the Cherry Cobbler Ink just to see what happens LOL. I really find I’m loving this photopolymer option. They are so easy to line up since you can see through them.

I’ve used a slightly quicker version of my card I shared with you HERE simply by using a piece of the wood grain pattern paper from our Motley Monsters Designer Series Paper instead of stamping the background and embossing, but I think I like it just as well. And the Motley Monsters Designer Series Paper is great for all kinds of fall projects, as you can see isn’t strictly just for Halloween.

Wonder how I get my wreaths lined up so well? Well, several of you have asked me how I do it and so I thought the easiest way would be to show you. So here is a quick video tutorial for you – I call it my Wondrous Wreath Bundle Tips Video Tutorial.

If you love this bundle you’ll be happy to hear when you place an order with me online using my Hostess Code you’ll get a FREE Tutorial that includes all kinds of great projects using this set! So why not place an order today and get your FREE tutorial along with your favorite stamping supplies!

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Wondrous Wreath (135047), and For All Things (135152/135155)

Inks: Crushed Curry (131173), Cherry Cobbler (126966), and Blackberry Bliss (133642)

Paper: Motley Monsters Designer Series Paper (135819), Blackberry Bliss (133675), and Whisper White card stock (100730)

PAPER PUMPKIN

My idea of the perfect pumpkin

Posted on September 12, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

Ahhh… it is September and here in North Georgia that means the mornings are cooler, the leaves are starting to turn and pumpkins are starting to appear in the stands on the side of the road. Not too long ago it would have meant getting ready to sew a Halloween outfit for my children. I loved planning and putting together costumes based on their current passion at the time. After all who doesn’t like a good craft project LOL!

I’m feeling nostalgic today (stepping back in time 19 years) and thought I’d share a picture with you for my children’s first Halloween together. Johnathan was 3 and thought that dad hung the moon. Larry was a Animal Control Officer with Gwinnett County at the time and so of course, Johnathan wanted to grow up to be just like his dad. I created this costume using one of the old discarded uniforms that I cut down and modified – Kaitlin of course was a puppy. Although most people thought she was a bunny – LOL. I’m not a seamstress by any means, just using my middle school home ec. skills, but Johnathan didn’t care. He wore this costume a lot playing dress up and pretending he was going to work just like dad!

Now a days there isn’t any costume sewing or pumpkin carving, but I still love to decorate and make treats for friends and family – and so the new Curvy Keepsake Box Thinlits Die is perfect for fall. I’ve been having a blast making all kinds of projects with my newest Thinlit!

Today’s project is a quick and easy one when you use the Curvy Keepsake Box Thinlit – Here is the down and dirty details of how I made this project.

Using Tango Twist card stock I ran the Thinlits Die through my Big Shot twice. Then I ran the pieces through again using my Decorative Dots Embossing Folder. I used some of my Multipurpose Liquid Glue to attach the two pieces. (Our Multipurpose Liquid Glue is great for items with lots of texture.)

Next, I stamped the image onto Whisper White card stock using my Memento Tuxedo Black Pad and colored this cute little guy with my Old Olive Stampin’ Blendabilities Markers. This cute little Dracula image drew me to this stamp set from the beginning! (Remember you can get the stamp and punch and save 15% when you order them as a bundle 137635/137636).

We don’t carry any Old Olive ribbon in the width I wanted so I simply made my own with the Whisper White 5/8″ Satin Ribbon and my Old Olive Blendabilities Marker. I love that I can customize my ribbon this way – It is soooo easy to do! (Scroll down and you’ll see a quick video tutorial on how I did this.)

I used our cute little Handheld Stapler to attach the punched image and ribbon to the box, put the handles through the hole and voila – finished!

I think this little pumpkin turned out just right. What is your perfect pumpkin?

Want to see my quick video tutorial on Custom Color Ribbon?

Another great reason to have our NEW Stampin’ Blendabilities Markers – I’m really loving them and think you will too! Want to learn more about Blendabilities? Watch for my upcoming Blend with Friends Events – it’s a great way to get started!

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Merry Everything (135068/135071)

Inks: Memento Tuxedo Black Pad (132708)

Paper: Tangelo Twist (133677) and Whisper White card stock (100730)

Accessories: Old Olive Stampin’ Blendabilies Markers (130999), Whisper White 5/8″ Satin Ribbon (134549), Curvy Keepsake Box Thinlits Die (135853), Decorative Dots Embossing Folder (133520), Note Tag Punch (135860), Handheld Stapler (135850) and Silver Mini Staples (135847), and Multipurpose Liquid Glue (110755)

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 (stampwithjini@gmail.com). 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

Fall Fun with the Chalkboard Banner Kit

Posted on August 28, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

Have you ever tried one of our Simply Created Kits? Well they’re great when you don’t have a lot of time or just want to create without any prep time and cutting since pretty much everything comes in the kit that you need, except scissors and adhesive.

They are also easy to step up simply by adding things that you already have. And our kits coordinate with all kinds of different products.

Today I’m going to share with you the fall banner I made that I made for my Holiday Catalog Premiere Party on Sunday with the Chalkboard Banner Simply Created Kit (133795). The banner was quick and easy to put together and looks great I think.

Everyone will think that you spent a lot of time creating. But you know that you didn’t have to!

In addition to the kit I used my Autumn Accents Die (127812) to create some leaves and acorns for the pennants in between my letters.

I’ve made a quick video to show you how I did the leaves and acorns.

After I attached the leaves to the pennants I added some of our NEW Autumn Wooden Elements (135846) and a little bit of Bermuda Bay 1/8″ Taffeta Ribbon (131206) that I tied in a knot to the chalk board pennants with a Glue Dot. I’m really loving these little wooden elements – they are just too cute and add just the right pop of color and texture.

Stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing a favorite fall recipe with you.
