Valentine Candy Boxes
3:00 AM
Good morning, DeNami friends!
It's hard to believe we are already nearing the end of January! You know what that means? Valentine is QUICKLY approaching! With that in mind, I thought I'd share some super cute favors that you can give to co-workers, family members, or even to your mail man!
Nami created these darling Valentine boxes, that are quick and easy, but also inexpensive! We sell these Sm. Boutique Boxes for $4.00/ per 10 pack. Yes, that's right, they're only 40¢ each!


Stamps: Mini Heart, Teeny Heart, Teeny Swiss Dot, Small Polka Dot Heart, Mini Scallop Circle, Love Circle
Paper:White, Magenta
Other: Hot Pink grosgrain, Small Boutique Boxes, Marvy 1" circle, Marvy 1½" scallop circle
In closing, I have two reminders.... 1) the DeNami Sketch Challenge #6 ends TONIGHT. 2) there are only FIVE Valentine Card Kits left. They'll be advertised in the next InTouch newsletter, so I wanted to be sure to let you all know before they're gone.
That's all for today. I will see you tomorrow for a new feature we'll be doing these next few weeks....I can't wait until you see it!

Product Spotlight- Sweetheart Mimi
3:00 AM
Hello there!
It's time for the second Product Spotlight this month! Earlier this month, we featured the adorable G152 Elephant (click here for the blog post), so this time around we wanted to bring something a little more sophisticated. The result: our new N135 Sweetheart Mimi.
Let me warn you all, the design team created cards that left me awestruck this time around. One thing I noticed in their cards this time around- you can really see each designers style in these cards! Let's get started on the beauties, shall we?

Remember, if you'd like details on the DT cards, head on over to their blogs. Each of them links to products used, plus, they just might tell you the story behind their creations!
We'll see you tomorrow, same time, same place! :)

Happy Birthday Gary
3:00 AM
Hi there!
Today we are celebrating Gary's birthday here at the DeNami offices. For those who are wondering who this guy is....he's Nami's (owner/ designer) husband!
If you have ever attended a DeNami booth at a stamp show, Gary most likely was the one at the cash register ringing up your purchases. In addition, he coordinates ALL of the travel plans for each show. You know how we do over THIRTY shows each year? For each one, there are hotels to book, airline tickets to purchase, and travel routes to plan. Last year, our travel situation changed so we drive each of our booths from Point A to Point Be. That's right....we DRIVE! We're located here in Washington state, so that's a TON of miles for Gary to drive.

Moving on to today's card.....this one was actually featured in the 2008 classes. I just love how perfect it is for a guy! This is definitely a great go-to card!

Stamps: Froggy, "Hoppy" Birthday Frogs, Party Time stamp set, Bitty Bugs stamp set
Paper:White, Chocolate Brown, Emerald Green, Lime
Other: Crystal Lacquer
Gary doesn't check the DeNami blog very often....I would love to surprise him with LOTS and LOTS of birthday wishes. :)
Thanks, DeNami friends! See you tomorrow for the next Product Spotlight post!

Valentine Chickies
3:00 AM
Good morning!
Ready for some Valentine goodness that will make you smile? Today I have a card featuring the You're A "Tweetie" Chickies. This stamp is great because you can use it for a one-stamp card OR you can cut apart the chickies and layer them with other stamps! Also, you can use the same layout and idea with a few of our other stamps, check out the list below:
I love these bright, happy colors together! For a fun element, I brought in the 5/8" Pink grosgrain. Now, I normally wouldn't pair these colors together (bright and pastel), but I think it works really well for this card!

Last year we released a Valentine Idea Sheet, that was really popular. For those new to DeNami, we release Idea Sheets that have four cards/ pictures, along with a supply list. This is a great way to get inspired with ideas, and you can print them out to keep at your craft area!
Thanks for spending some time with us on the DeNami blog today!

Spring Greetings
3:00 AM
Happy Friday!
Wow, I can't believe we have finished another week. It sure has been exciting here on the DeNami blog, hasn't it? We started the week off with a fabulous new sketch challenge, then we had lots of beautiful cards featuring the new designs. With many of you receiving your DeNami orders any day, I hope these ideas inspired you!
Today I have a super sweet card by Rebeka. I just love how she used TWO stamps to create a perfect card. This card is great for so many occasions; birthdays, thank you, thinking of you, etc....
If you find yourself wanting to get crafty this weekend, we'd love for you to join us in the DeNami Sketch Challenge #6. There is a little less than a week to play, so hurry and get your cards in! :)
Have a great weekend!

Sweet Kitty
3:00 AM
Hello there!
Today I have another sweet card by Wendy to share. Remember how I mentioned she created lots of cards using the new designs? This beauty is one of them!
I simply adore the simplicity of this card. It's perfect if you want to get some stamping in, but don't have a lot of time. One of my favorite parts of the card is how she stamped the Whimsical Oval Frame on the Marvy 3" scallop oval punch, then punched tiny holes in each scallop. SO clever! Definitely going to give this a try..


Stamps: Kitty, Whimsical Oval Frame, Kitty Toys stamp set
Other: Robins Egg Blue grosgrain, White Boutique Buttons, Marvy 3" scallop oval
In closing, I want to remind you all that we are still taking participants for the Beautiful Buttons Blog Hop. We have so many newbies joining us- it's going to be so much fun! I only have TWO spots left, so hurry and send me an email if you'd like to sign up!
Have a wonderful rest of your Wednesday!

Valentine Card Kit
3:00 AM
Happy Friday to you!
It's time for the release of the next DeNami card kit! I know many of you have inquired about when we were going to release another one. With the new release behind us, we thought now would be the perfect time to bring out another beautiful card kit!

Here you can see what the card kit looks like when it arrives. We have it packaged in one of our Large Boutique Boxes, then we used our Chocolate Brown grosgrain ribbon and added a cute little tag. I can only imagine how fun it would be to get this in the mail!

Here are the kits inside their bags. Just like our other kits, there are 5 card designs, each of them including enough cardstock, ribbon and buttons for 2 each. Yes, that's a total of 10 cards that you can make in each box! (You can't beat $24.95 for 10 cards!) .

Aren't these cards gorgeous? Wendy designed all of them, and I must say, they are all super fabulous! I think the hardest part about this set would be to not keep them all for yourself. :)
Now some may be wondering what inks you'll need for these cards. We wanted to streamline it, so you only need TWO! Below are the links:
I know you all are dying to get your kits now, so here are the links. (Note: we will have a limited quantity, so be sure to get yours soon!)

Valentine Card + Video + Sneak Peek
3:00 AM
Hello, sweet DeNami friends!
Today I have another sweet (and simple) Valentine card to share. I don't know about you, but I always love getting little cards and notes in the mail. Knowing that someone took the time to write a note and then send it means so much.
When I was creating a batch of YouTube videos, I knew that I had to create one featuring some of our new Valentine stamps. I just love these hearts so much! They are so easy to use, plus they coordinate together perfectly!
I kept this card really simple, but you could dress it up by adding rhinestones or buttons to the hearts! Also, you could exchange the pink for red or purple! How cute would those look?

Stamps: Small Heart Outline, Small Scallop Heart, Teeny Heart Background, Hearts stamp set
Thanks for stopping by the DeNami blog- we are so glad that we could be a part of your day. We'll see you tomorrow for the reveal of the Valentine Card Kit!
