STAMPIN’ UP! POETIC PETALS DIES AND SQUARES

Jenny Hayward

I have been creating quite a bit with the Poetic Petals Dies. This is one of the cards I have made recently. I wanted to check out how they diecut and come together. I will mention more of that below.

To finish the card I added a little texture with the Tree Rings Embossing Folder and a Berry Burst Card mat for the flowers using the Tile Garden Dies.

With the Poetic Petals Dies you have 3 different flower designs that diecut the centre out. You can layer them with the square dies. Each of the square dies have a different edging too. One is a straight line, one a “dotted” edge and the other is more of a small dash type edge.

You can just use those squares but for this card I layered them with one of the Tile Garden Dies. They work well with them I think. On these dies there are different edges on these squares. The largest of these dies measure 9.8cm x 9.8cm or 3-7/8″ x 3-7/8″. If you like the Spotlight on Nature circle dies you will love these. They are the same type of edges. I love that we have layering squares of these now too.

I have some more projects to come with these dies so watch out.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

STAMPIN’ UP! VIOLET DREAMS – 2 FOR 1 CARDS

Jenny Hayward

I have been creating recently with the Framed Violets Bundle and the gorgeous Violet Dreams Specialty Paper.

I created the first one diecutting the scalloped oval from the paper and adding more of the paper with the black dotted print behind it. The flower is one of the black pre-printed diecuts in the pack and I coloured it with the Stampin’ Blends.

BUT, don’t waste that oval diecut. I then added it to another card.

On this card I embossed just half the card with the Soft Waves Embossing Folder. To do this add the card in just to halfway and emboss as usual. It can leave a slight mark but you can add ribbon or a strip of card or paper to cover that if it bothers you. I like that it leaves a smooth area to stamp your sentiment.

Then the paper oval was added with Dimensionals and I coloured one of the black diecuts with the Stampin’ Blends on this one too.

The Violet Dreams Suite is a very pretty one. And did I mention that paper that has the pretty diecuts in?? Many are already coloured which is good for me and some are black and white. So easy to add to your cards.

You can see it more -> HERE. And order too if you would love for your crafting.

Happy Crafting,

SWEET SUNDAY WITH THE BIRTHDAY SONG

Jenny Hayward

Sweet Sunday with this bunch of happy characters. This is with the Birthday Song Stamp Set.

This card was created by Stampin’ Up! artists but I just had to show you.

I like how all the elements went together. I couldn’t work out the “sea” though. Then I found it is paper from the Waterside Retreat Paper Pack. Clever… The background sky is from that pack too. It’s good to look at your paper in different ways. It really forms a big part of the scene on this one.

The characters are colours so well though too. These ones have been lightly watercoloured with the Ink Pads and Water Brush.

How sweet. Have you noticed this Birthday Song set?

You can see it more -> HERE.

Happy Sunday,

GLOW OF HARVEST SPECIALTY PAPER FOR AUGUST PRODUCT OF THE MONTH ~

Jenny Hayward

The Glow of Harvest Specialty Designer Series Paper is this month’s Product of the Month. I have been creating with it for a few weeks now as part of the Demonstrator Council.

The paper has lovely fall/Autumn patterns. We don’t create that much for those type of occasions in Australia. It works well for other occasions though as I discovered when I started playing with it.

This is the paper.

I thought this print worked well with the cow from the Wild Bunch set. And maybe I had one already coloured – and it worked!!

You could replace the idea with something else you have.

The Glow of Harvest paper has a really nice sheen to it. Just a subtle sparkle.

You can select this paper when you place your qualifying order. In Australia if your order is over $125, Select this paper and you only pay an additional $9.

If you need to order you can head to my store -> HERE Or contact me directly and I can help you out.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

STAMPING PATTERNED PAPER WITH THE STAMPIN’ UP! VIOLET DREAMS

Jenny Hayward

I have been playing with the Violet Dreams Suite this last week. I will share more soon but this is the card I started out with.

I wasn’t sure where to go first. This card was CASED from one from Stampin’ Up!. I just added a little more stamping and more ribbon.

I liked the idea of stamping on the paper. It’s just a subtle amount in the corner rather than all over. The flowers are pre-diecut from the paper and I coloured them with Stampin’ Blends as they had in the original.

The Fresh Freesia ribbon is so satin-ny and adds a little elegance to the card.

I like this Sending Love sentiment. I like sending out cards like that to share a little love.

This is Violet Dreams Suite including the paper, ribbon and the Framed Violets Bundle.

Have a look at the Violet Dreams Paper. I think that is my favourite part of the suite. I love the soft images and pretty purple colours.

This is a closer look at the diecut sheets from the paper.

The Violet Dreams Suite is available now Online -> HERE. Or you can contact me directly. I would love to help you get this gorgeous suite. (If you are in Australia).

Happy Stamping,

Jenny

SUNDAY SUITES – A STITCHED SEASON!

Jenny Hayward

It’s been a while since we have done Sunday Suites. So let’s have a little Christmas in July with the ‘A Stitched Season’ Suite.

If you like the look of quilting without all the stitching yourself or you are a quilter yourself you will like this suite. Fun shapes and Festive patterns with stockings, holly and trees.

Here is all that is included in the Suite Collection.

The A Stitched Season Suite includes:

  • Stitched Stocking Bundle
  • A Stitched Season 12″x12″ Designer Series Paper
  • Real Red Stitched Ribbon (6.4mm, 1/4″) 9.1m, 10 yards
  • Adhesive Backed Mini Christmas Buttons (45) 1cm x 1cm, 3/8″ x3/8″

Let’s look at them a bit more closely.

The Stitched Stocking Bundle

This is not just for your Christmas cards but it can create some cute Christmas Stockings and other projects to dress up your Christmas.

Pair classic Christmas sentiments with quilting-inspired designs like holly and pine trees for a warm, nostalgic look. I love how you can make those stockings and dress them up how you like with a patchwork look and add some buttons and ribbon. Make them personalised too by adding some initials or names on them even??

The largest Die in this Bundle measures 8.4cm x 12.1cm, 3-5/16″ x 4-3/4″ which would be the larger stocking.

A Stitched Season Designer Series Paper

Prints for your Christmas projects to with quilt-inspired patterns. And you don’t have to spend all that time sewing them! This paper is a perfect choice for creating seasonal projects that feel warm and nostalgic.

You can dress up the diecut stockings with the patterns or any other Christmas style project. But some of these patterns would work for any occasion not just Christmas.


The colours in this paper are: Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Peaceful Pine, Pecan Pie, Real Red, Secret Sea.

Now let’s see some projects that Stampin’ Up! artists have put together with them to really show off this Suite.

Are you a quilter? You would love that you can get the look of quilted projects in paper.

If you are a Cardmaker and not dabble in the sewn quilted world you will love to be able to create these type of projects with little fuss and so much less time.

Happy Sunday,

Jenny
