Stamp It Up with Jaimie

November Mailed Stamp Kit

Published on October 6, 2017October 21, 2017 by stampitupwithjaimie11 Comments

I am super excited to roll out something new (to me)…

You see each month I host at least one party in my house. Together we make beautiful cards and it’s the highlight of my month.

However, the majority of you don’t live local to me and aren’t able to participate. So I’m offering my Mailed Stamp Kits.

Mailed Stamp Kits

What is a Mailed Stamp Kit?

Each month I will pick a stamp set or bundle and using it will design four original cards. You will then have the opportunity to purchase a stamp kit which includes the stamp set, all material to make four cards (except ink and adhesive), and any other item included in that particular bundle. You then will put together each card using detailed instructions I will e-mail you.

What if you already have the stamp set or bundle?

You may order any other stamp for equal price.

What if you don’t have the coordinating ink?

You may add any necessary ink to your order at the time you order your stamp kit.

What if you want doubles of each card?

Just let me know at the time you order your stamp kit and I’m happy to adjust how many cards you receive. Each additional card is $2.

How do you pay for the stamp kit?

Fill out the form below as to which bundle you would like and I’ll send you an invoice via PayPal. The invoice will be sent the week of October 22nd.

When do you receive the bundle?

You have until October 26th to order your stamp bundle. As soon as I receive the product and divide it up, your stamp bundle will be mailed out Priority mail.

So on to November’s Mailed Stamp Kit…

The EXTENDED KIT includes:

Merry Café stamp set
Coffee Cups Framelits Dies
Package of Rhinestones
Package of Stampin’ Dimensionals – Free!

Stampin’ Up! Christmas Happiness

Published on October 5, 2017October 5, 2017 by stampitupwithjaimie10 Comments

This week’s Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop is a color challenge. Happy hopping!

Not going to lie, this color combination had me a bit stumped. Garden Green and Real Red, no problem, got it, but the Lemon Lime Twist!?

So I took some liberty here. I’m thinking if yellow Christmas lights shone against green pines, maybe they would look a bit “limey”?!?! Maybe?!

My card starts off with Real Red cardstock. I then took a panel of Whisper White cardstock which eventually will be matted on Garden Green cardstock. I took the Christmas Happiness stamp set and stamped the pine needles along the top of the Whisper White panel in Garden Green ink. I then took a sponge and colored the edges with Garden Green ink, as well as sponged the top around the pine needles.

Next I stamped the outside of the lights in Memento Black around the pine needles and stamped the bottom of the lights in Real Red ink and the lights in Lemon Lime Twist ink.

So you might be looking at my Baker’s Twine and thinking – there’s no (at least current) Garden Green Baker’s Twine and I’d say you’re correct. I made my own 🙂

I took a sandwich sized zipper baggie and put a cut piece of Whisper White Baker’s Twine in it. I then squirted a few drops of Garden Green reinker in it. I then sort of rubbed the outside of the bag so the twine was getting covered in the ink. I added more ink until I had it covered enough. In hindsight, I think I would’ve used the thinner Very Vanilla Baker’s Twine, but at this point I wasn’t even sure this was going to work.

I took the twine out and let it dry on a paper towel. I then cut and placed very, very small pieces of Tear & Tape adhesive in the spots where I wanted the twine to loop and connect to the lights.

Lastly I stamped the sentiment in Versamark ink on Real Red cardstock, sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder, and heat embossed it. I cut the end in a banner and added a little Gold Doily underneath.

Enjoy!

Stampin’ Up! Pick a Pumpkin & Count My Blessings

Published on October 4, 2017October 4, 2017 by stampitupwithjaimie10 Comments

Today’s card was inspired by challenges this week at Sunday Stamps and Fab Friday.

Today’s card starts off with Rich Razzleberry cardstock. I then took a panel of Whisper White cardstock and matted it on Tranquil Tide cardstock and adhered it to the card.

I cut out two (almost) squares. I cut out two Whisper White panels and stamped the sentiment from the Count My Blessings stamp set in Rich Razzleberry ink on the smaller one. I matted that one on Rich Razzleberry cardstock and the other on Tranquil Tide cardstock.

I cut out the pumpkin and leaves using the Patterned Pumpkins Framelits and Rich Razzleberry, Tranquil Tide, and Cajun Crazy cardstock. I adhered the leaves behind the sentiment with a piece of Burlap ribbon and then the pumpkin towards the bottom. I added a few gold sequins and enamel shapes to finish it off.

Enjoy!
