Christmas Card

Here is another Christmas Card we made at a Stamp A Stack, I love the set Scenic Season. this card was very simple to make but absolutely beautiful. We stamped the image in Encore Gold ink and embossed it with Iridescent Ice embossing powder.

Anniversary Card

I have been playing A LOT with the shimmer paint and I really have to say that I like it. The picture doesn't really do this card justice and you should see how neat the shimmer paint looks on textured card stock. I used the white frost shimmer paint on two of the hearts.

More Christmas

The picture really does not do this card justice. I stamped the image from Scenic Season and then I used Crystal Effects mixed with Dazzling Diamonds on the grass line and the edges of the trees, it is actually really sparkly in person.

Supplies Used:

Stamps: Scenic Season

Ink: Night of Navy

Card Stock: Night of Navy, Brushed Silver & Whisper White

Acc: Ticket Corner Punch

Christmas Card

The picture really doesn't do this card justice. I used the shimmer paint on the snowflake and I also made shimmer mist by mixing rubbing alcohol with shimmer paint and spraying it on the Very Vanilla card stock once I had stamped my snowflakes so it has a shimmer to it too.

Supplies Used:

Stamps: Serene Snowflakes & Four Holidays

Ink: Not Quit Navy & Sahara Sand

Card Stock: Kraft, Not Quit Navy & Very Vanilla

Acc: Jumbo Snowflake punch, clear rhinestone brads, champagne shimmer paint & scallop edge punch.

Here come the Christmas Cards!

Did I tell everyone how much I love this Dasher stamp? this card is actually a lot prettier in person. I used the shimmer paint mixed with reinker to stamp Dasher so he actually has a shine to him. Oh and the new Bride Specialty paper actually resists ink, isn't that cool?

Supplies Used:

Stamps: Dasher

Ink: Soft Suede & Old Olive

Card Stock: Very Vanilla, Soft Suede & Bride Specialty Paper

Acc: Champagne Shimmer Paint

Monthly Planner

This is a monthly planner that I found at a Dollar Spot and it just had a cheap colored cover. So I took the cover off and this is what I came up with. Wouldn't this make a great teacher gift?

Just an FYI, you can now follow me on facebook and Twitter. On facebook it is Stampin' With Jeni and on Twitter it is stampinwithjeni. Everything posts to Twitter from facebook so you do not need to sign up for both if you don't want to.

Lip Gloss Holders

These are little lip gloss holders that I made. I found the pattern for these here. I used the Dasher stamp and the Trim the Tree. They are very simple to make and you can find lip gloss anywhere.

I used the same Designer Series Paper that I used on my organizer, I think the name of it was Parisian Summer but it is retired and no longer available. SORRY! Any of SU's Designer Series Paper would work just as well and remember for the month of May all of their Designer Series Papers are on sale buy 3 get one FREE.

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day! I have one last Mother's Day card to share, this is actually a really cool technique that I found here. This is actually a really fun technique.

Card Organizer

I finally got to use my Bind It All. I have wanted to make a card organizer for a while so I finally did. I used retired Designer Series Paper since I wasn't sure if I knew what I was doing. I found the instructions at www.splitcoaststampers.com and I also found a couple of organizers that I liked so I copied theirs. I love the way it turned out.

Mother's Day

Here is another card that I made for Mother's Day. It is actually a very simple card to make. I used some retired Designer Series Paper though. The dress is actually made out of the Scallop Circle Die for the Big Shot.

Wedding Center Piece

Here is one of the center pieces from the wedding also. These are super simple to make. The belly band was done with the new eyelet boarder punch from SU with some Regal Rose 5/8" grosgrain ribbon wrapped around it and it is hard to see but there is a small heart charm hanging in the middle that reads "love". On the flowers we just made the same belly band to go around the vases to match the candle holders. I think they turned out super cute.

Wedding Favors

I know it isn't the best picture but these are the favors we made for my cousin's wedding. I used the Box #2 Die from Sizzix and the brand new Scalloped Oval punch from SU. It is hard to see but their names and the date they got married is inside the scalloped oval. They where actually pretty simple to make.

Mother's Day Card

Here is the card that I made for Mother's Day. I did not come up with this on my own, Stampin' Up! had it in one of the publications they send to Demonstrators. I changed mine a little but I think it turned out really cute. It is a pop up card so this is what it looks like open.

I had to share

I just had to share this. When I was uploading pictures out of my camera I found this one. I took it before Christmas, I guess he was tired of waiting for me but isn't it adorable.

Christmas Ornament

I am still here, it has just been a crazy time. I wanted to share an ornament we made at the giftables class. It is much cuter in real life. I used the Holiday Lineup stamp set but I actually colored in the snowmen with a mixture of crystal effects and dazzling diamonds, they have some serious sparkle. I love this stamp set.
