I am married to Glenn and we have 2 adult children: Josh and Carlie. I live in the Northern Suburbs of Wollongong; just south of Sydney, NSW Australia.
I joined Stampin' Up! in August 2008. I'm having a great time playing with ink and paper and sharing my creations with you.
Thank you for visiting me in my corner of the blogosphere. I hope I inspire you along the way. I hold regular classes and workshops in my studio in East Corrimal and offer classes and tutorials by mail. I hope I can share stamping with you and your friends soon.
Take a look around. If I can help you with any of the gorgeous Stampin' Up! products please don't hesitate to ask me.
Happy creating,
Jenny
I shared a card with using the pretty papers last post. Just by adding a strip.
I have another for you this time using the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper. It is SO pretty. Why hide it!
I share how to create one in the last post so jump back. But it is basically a strip of paper just slightly smaller that your card mat base but double the width. Then score down the middle.
Don’t forget to decorate the inside too.

There are so many gorgeous new papers in the 2024 Mini Catalogue – but you have papers …
BUT, why not get a little taster of some of the new Papers and the Ribbons to freshen up your projects. After all, you can’t resist those colours and print.
What a great way to join in a Paper and Ribbon Share.
It’s affordable and manageable and you get a selection of the papers.
Want to know more?
Head to the Google Docs ->HEREand find out all about it.AND – If you join in both the Paper and the Ribbon Shares receive a 1/2 pack of Rainbow Adhesive Backed Dots.
Places are limited for the shares so you need to be quick.
I shared a simple card recently with the Simple Stippled Roses stamps with no colouring on it. I ventured in to colouring with this card.
I don’t colour a lot. I have to say these flowers took a LONG time to colour. Longer than I probably should have. I just wanted to get them right. Still not sure but in the end I left it as it is.
I wanted to have them overhang the edge of the card so I cut off half of the front of the card. The paper on the front is the Perennial Lavender Paper.
You can see how they overhang on the inside. I stamped on the white card mat too. Unfortunately you can see the colouring on the back of the roses. I didn’t really think about that at the time.
This is the card laying flat so you can see it. (The lighting was a little different with this one apologies for that).
The Stippled Roses Stamps and Dies are available in the Mini Catalogue.

I’m not a great lover of colouring. I do try and I know practice makes perfect right. I have been playing with the Stippled Roses stamps and dies.
One of the cards I created is a simple card stamping the rose and no colouring. The detail in the stamp makes it so easy to just showcase this lovely bloom.
I have stamped it in Wild Wheat. Really I wasn’t too fussed on this colour when it first came out BUT… I have used it so much.
The paper mat behind the rose is the Softly Stippled Paper which is available as a Free gift for Sale-A-Bration with orders over $90 AUD. There are so many lovely prints in this pack.
It’s Sale-A-Bration time. And there are some fun stamps available as one of your bonus gifts. The Jungle Pals Stamp set. Let’s check it out for Sale-A-Bration Saturday.
Here is some “snappy” cards with the set. You have got to love the smiley alligator.
The Jungle Pals Stamp set is available as a Free Choice for you with orders over $90 AUD.
The Jungle Pals Dies which co-ordinate with this stamp set is available as a Free Choice with orders over $180.
So you can create “snappy” or cute projects all the time.

With the new Mini Catalogue released last week I was part of the Crafty Collaborations Mini Catalogue Launch Party. Demonstrators from around the world shared project videos of some of the great new products.
It was so great to be a part of it. You can follow along now too and maybe be inspired by the projects. I will tell you how to find it but firstly let me show you the project I created.
I worked with the Trusty Tools Bundle creating a Split Front Card.
Perhaps you have made this style before?
How cool is the Trusty Tools though. I love the Trusty Toolbox paper. That is one of the free choices for Sale-A-Bration. Some of the dies will diecut some of the tools.
