Framed Florets Friendship Card Tutorial

You’re going to love the lovely cards you can create with the Framed Florets Bundle and while the sneak peek Collection and it’s limited time products (163129) is only available for a couple more weeks the good news is the bundle will be available in the NEW 2023 Mini Catalog. This bundle has some wonderful oval die options and include 2 different frames that you can mix and match.

I just love the soft color that the Subtles Collection Designer Series Paper and Soft Sea Foam Seam Binding Ribbon gives this project and our Stampin’ Blends make coloring quick and easy. Check out this Video Tutorial that I made for you showing you how I created this card.

NOTE:  The first share/swatch books if placed on July 1st can be expected in about 2 weeks after I place the order. Here is how my paper shares/swatch books work… first I save your spot and collect your payment, then I place the order, receive the order, cut and package the paper, package up your swatch book/share for mailing and then take them to the Post Office to ship.

How to Reserve yours?

You’ll need to email me (StampwithJini@gmail.com) or call me (706 754-7124) to hold your spot ASAP, since there isn’t a lot of time before I need to place the order on July 1st so you get yours as soon as possible after the catalog goes live.

EMAIL me directly at StampwithJini@gmail.com with your information listed below to save your spot in the share: (Note: For multiple shares and/or swatch books – contact me for a shipping quote… Flat Rate packaging can hold quite a bit).

When share/swatch books are invoiced together I’m happy to combine shipping for the best option

Please include the following information in your email:

1.  Full Name

2.  Mailing Address will be PayPal address (US only)

3.  Indicate how many Design Tool & DSP Swatch Book sets you would like to reserve

4.  Email for PayPal invoicing

When your shares/swatch book order fills, I will email a PayPal invoice for payment process (within 24 hours of receiving your order).  I will then place my order with Stampin’ Up! once payment is received for the Swatch Book.

PayPal is easy — and a PayPal account is not required to make your payment.  Just an email address and credit/debit card.  When you receive your PayPal invoice by email, you can choose to pay using your PayPal funds or by a credit/debit card.  Simply follow their instructions to make your payment via the method that is most convenient for you. It should be simple!

And of course, if you live locally – just let me know if you prefer to pick up your items rather than pay for the shipping and I’ll invoice you accordingly.

Reminder: I will do my best to do everything I can to expedite your order. COVID19 has affected shipping. If it causes back orders, please be aware that Swatch Books will not ship until all paper has been received.

Handsomely Suited & 2021 Catalog Sneak Peek

If you have a hard time creating for the guys in your life the Well Suited Suite might be just the thing you need to have for creating great cards. While the Handsomely Suited stamp set (154444) is great for the guys the Suit & Tie Dies (154322) that are part of the Bundle (156240) are great for creating all kinds of projects – the choices are endless simply by mixing and matching.

Today I’ll be sharing some cards for the guys in our lives using this suite. This first one uses the fun Well Suited Designer Series Paper (154562) for a fun fold birthday card.

And this next one creates a great card for Father’s Day that’s been done in the classic color combination of red and black.

And this final card uses the Classic Label Punch (Retiring 141491) for the sentiment. Can you see the added texture in the background?

The Absolutely Argyle 3D Embossing Folder (Retiring 151590) was used to create some texture. Choose the Suite Collection (155983) and you’ll get everything in the suite in one easy number that includes a 10% discount on the Handsomely Suited Bundle too.

Why not stop by my online store and check it out? And of course while you are there you can stop by the Clearance Rack and the Last Chance List for the 2020 Annual Catalog too. There are some great discounts right now.

2021 Annual Catalog Sneak Peek

The NEW Annual Catalogs are in the mail and are starting to arrive. If you are a current customer of mine you’ll be getting yours soon. So today I thought I’d share my unboxing for some of the great items I was able to PreOrder from the Annual Catalog.

2021 Annual Catalog PreOrder Sneak Peek Video

Of course, the In Colors are always my favorite place to start looking when I get the catalog – nothing like new colors! And this is the first year I think I’ve LOVE them all, typically there is one color that takes me a bit to fall in love with, but not this year. Here is a preview.

Fresh Freesia, Polished Pink, Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen, and Pale Papaya!!!

There is nothing like them in our color families – so over the next few days I thought I’d share some color comparisons with you. Today I’ll be highlighting Fresh Freesia and Polished Pink for you.

Fresh Freesia is a lovely shade of purple that will bring a smile to your face – I just love purple and am so happy we have this option. I’ve included the retiring Purple Posy for you in this first comparison so you can see its nothing like the Purple Posy that is retiring.

And Polished Pink is cheerful and a perfect shade of pink! A bit softer feeling than our Magenta Madness and Melon Mambo, but bolder and more of a true pink feeling than our Flirty Flamingo

So what do you think? Like the new colors?

Don’t forget and make sure to stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing the 2021-2023 In Colors Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent with you and some more comparisons too.

OnStage@Home: Projects, fun & more

Last week I shared the opening day of our Stampin’ Up! OnStage@Home event, as always these 3 days fly by too quickly. And while we weren’t together in person this year the chat rooms, personal messaging, and texts were fast and furious as we shared with each other.

Saturday was filled with creative presentations and break out classes. My head is still spinning with all the great information! In between we did some stamping with the Dragonfly Garden Bundle and products from the Dandy Garden Suite.

These projects were a lot of fun since they were quick and easy – Know that I’ll be sharing some tutorials with you for these cards and others for sure as we get closer to the catalog launch in January 2021!

Sara & Shelli’s closing time together is always one of the most enjoyable portions of the event for me. I love to watch the back and forth between mother and daughter it is filled with laughter and wonderful projects too.

And this OnStage@Home was no different. You could see they were clearly enjoying their time together as they shared some wonderful projects using the Fine Art Floral Suite of products which has a lot of fun elements!

I was sad to say goodbye as we wrapped up the event – but will be looking forward to sharing with my Team this Friday during our OnStage After Party!

One of the perks of attending OnStage@Home was being able to participate in a Product Purchase Premiere. Being the first to receive our copies of the Mini & Sale-a-bration brochure along with stamps and more!

I got my box today and thought I’d share some of the fun with you of the unboxing. The video is not the best angle, my Ipad which is my normal way of videoing is giving me fits and I haven’t been able to figure out why yet. Sigh… the love, hate relationship I have with it! But you’ll get the idea.

2021 January – June Mini Catalog Product Purchase Premiere Sneak Peek

Wow! Right?

So what do you think? Love the new items too? It’s just a peek of what’s inside the 2021 January – June Mini Catalog and Sale-a-bration Brochure!
