January 14, 2019January 14, 2019 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 1 Comment

Do you like making cards and 3D projects but don’t have everything you need? Do you find you have limited time to craft and wish there was a way to make it quick & simple? Well, if you answered yes to either of these questions, my “Just Stampin’ Kit Buffet” to go is just what you need!

“Just Stampin’ Kit Buffet” TO GO cost: $12 (plus shipping and handling)

Here’s how you can reserve your seat at the buffet table:

Email me (j.stark@myactv.net) with “Just Stampin’ Kit Buffet” in the subject line. Include your full name, mailing address, and email address. I will send you a PayPal invoice. *You do not need a PayPal account in order to make your payment. Upon receiving my invoice, you may choose the credit card/debit card option instead of using a PayPal account. Instructions are given and the process for payment is simple. Orders need to be placed by January 28th. (*Please note I can only accept a limited number of orders each month. I may reach my limit before the deadline.)

Just Stampin’ Buffet TO GO Kits include:

Pre-cut supplies for four projects (stamped images not included, in accordance with Stampin’ Up! policy)
Envelopes for non 3D projects
Pre-punched items and/or Big Shot items, such as die cuts and textured embossed
Ribbon and/or embellishments

My “Kit Buffet TO GO!” is intended to make it easy for you to be able to see and try out different products while being able to substitute different stamps you already have. You don’t have to worry about having coordinating designer series paper to go with the cardstock, the right color ribbon to match, or other embellishments…everything is in the kit! You just need to stamp and adhere.

If you have ordered my card kit buffet before, I would love for you to leave a comment. Here’s what others have said about my past kits:

I love your kits. Your attention to detail is amazing. Instructions are fantastic and precise so that each item is quick and easy to put together. The pictures are a big plus in following the instructions.. Thank you so much for making these kits available to us. Bernice P

Oh my goodness, thank you! I so enjoyed the last kit! Kept me occupied for a week! And this set is equally as beautiful! You do such thoughtful and intriguing projects! Please know that your talents and creativity are appreciated! (And your directions are a retired teacher’s dream!) Nancy B.

I worked on your Card Buffet this afternoon. What a delightful way to

spend an afternoon! Your directions and photos really are EXCELLENT. I
think that part of the reason that you write such good instructions is
because you are programmed to teach little kids; it makes you really
good at spelling out every step. Well done! ~M~

My kit arrived today and I’m so excited! What great cards and I love the flexibility. They’re beautiful. Thanks, Susan

Your kit arrived yesterday and I’ve had great fun putting it together. You did a terrific job! I love the way everything coordinates (which is my biggest challenge) and the kit was so well organized with the pieces for the box all together neatly in a glassine envelope. Such attention to detail!

Your instructions were impeccable. Your pictures were beautiful and a big help in putting everything together. Obviously I am very pleased. And I will be ordering again if you have future kits. Thank you so much,
Deborah M

I haven’t had much time to craft lately but I did these in a jiffy and they are sooo cute. Thank you for offering this for us!

*Please note… I can only accept a limited number of orders each month. I may reach my limit before the deadline. I will send out PayPal invoices on or before January 28th. You will receive an email when your kit is shipped (~first week in February). It will include an attachment with the project samples, supplies, and directions. You can substitute different stamps and sentiments using what you have or just copy my samples. The choice is up to you!

Have a wonderful day!

Stampin Up Large Letter Framelits and Be Mine Stitched Framelits Dies Framed Art Gift Ideas for Valentine's Day, Wedding, or Anniversary - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

I love to make 3D projects to give as gifts. (Did you see the other framed projects I made for Christmas?) Today’s projects are quick & easy using the Large Letters Framelits and a 4 x 6 picture frame.

My first project makes a great Valentine or anniversary gift for the love of your life. Who will you give the “key to your heart”?

I started with a piece of 4 x 6 All My Love Designer Series Paper. The beautiful heart is from the Be Mine Stitched Framelit Dies which is part of the All My Love Suite in the new Occasions catalog. I cut the heart and die from thick Whisper White cardstock and adhered them to the DSP. I made a matching bow using Lovely Lipstick Ribbon and adhered it on top with a glue dot. The finishing touch was adding the key from the Classic Garage Metal Elements.

After 33 years I’m giving this “key to my heart” to my husband!

I couldn’t wait to make my next project as soon as I saw the gorgeous Floral Romance Specialty Designer Series Paper! My beautiful niece got married last summer and the dress she wore for her engagement photo matched the fresh fig floral vellum design.

I used another heart from the Be Mine Stitched Framelits Dies and this one cuts out the heart in the center as well as the scalloped frame. I cut the photo and a piece of Fresh fig cardstock and adhered the photo inside the framed piece.

The soft elegant designs in the Floral Romance Specialty Designer Series Paper are perfect for weddings, anniversaries, and more. It is so easy to hand cut the vellum to use for accents like I did on the corner of my frame. Here’s a look at the other designs. (It’s one of my favorite paper packs in the Occasions catalog!)

Sunday Showcase

January 7, 2019January 7, 2019 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 4 Comments

Happy Sunday! I have a showcase of projects for you today! I haven’t posted much lately but, now that the holidays are behind us, I am looking forward to blogging more often! I am super excited about the offerings in the new Occasions catalog and Sale-A-Bration! I just found out that many of you have not received your catalogs yet! Oh my! I called Stampin’ Up! as I had them sent directly to you and it seems there has been a delay in delivery due to the holidays. They ensured me that they were sent out the week of Dec. 10th but bulk mail takes a bit longer to arrive. If you have shopped with me in the last 6 months, I sent you a catalog. Please email me and let me know if you received your catalogs or not. If your catalog has not arrived by Monday, a new one will be shipped to you! I sincerely apologize for the delay and please know that you can view the catalogs online while you wait for yours to arrive. Click on the catalog images on the right or in the drop down menu across the top. (If you are viewing this in your email, you may need to click on the blog title first to view online.) I will also include the links below.

The holidays just flew by and amid all the Christmas festivities, celebrations, and annual cookie exchange, I was busy creating! I made table favors, treat holders, cards, tags, gifts, and projects for family and friends. Most went out the door before I even had time to photograph them or blog. Here’s a few I did mange to snap a shot before I gifted.

I love the Copper Tins! I embellished with my favorite DSP and filled 16 of them with my homemade cinnamon candy! If I showed up on Christmas Eve without this candy I do believe my family would send me packing! LOL After 25 years it has become a Christmas tradition! I used the Joyous Noel DSP but you could easily use other patterns. These would be great to fill for Valentine’s Day! I layered 2 7/8 x 2 7/8 pieces of DSP on 3 x 3 Copper Foil. I was inspired by fellow Pal, Brian King Here’s a few more designs.

These tins can also be used to hold 3 x 3 note cards. Check them out in the annual catalog and leave a comment below if you have another idea what you could gift in them.

My sisters are huge Scrabble players so I made each of them family frames with old tiles. I like how it showcases our beautiful DSP. You can easily change out the paper each season. I chose DSP to match their home decor. I bet the new All My Love Designer Series Paper would look great as a background for Valentine’s Day!

I made several gift card holders for my nieces & nephews. This pop up gift card holder is really quick & easy to make. Just change the DSP for different occasions!

Every year I make calendar cards and change them up a little. The daisy punch and leaf punch made these quick & easy this year which was good because I made almost 50!

Click HERE to view a photo tutorial how to assemble the card base.

Every year I make 60-70 Christmas cards to send to family and friends. When we celebrated my daughter’s 21st birthday at Universal Studios this past year, I took the opportunity to snap a family photo. I thought this sentiment from the Snow is Glistening stamp set was perfect to go with our photo!

I hope you enjoyed my “homemade holiday” showcase. If you have any questions about any of the projects feel free to email me or leave a comment below. I’m looking forward to a new year of creating fun cards and projects!
