Our Sweet Sunday today I couldn’t help but check this stamp set out. The Always With Me set. It’s such a sweet one.

I have to show you these cards. (They are created by Stampin’ Up! artists).

You are my greatest Gift. This one actually brings tears to my eyes. I remember my 2 little ones I could pick up and hug. They are too big now. They are such a blessing to my life – and are my Greatest Gift. I am so Thankful for them.

Love You card. It’s a simple card but a sweet one.

These have both been coloured with the Stampin’ Blends. The Greatest Gift card has a background using the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks. The Texture Paste has been coloured with the Crushed Curry Reinker.

This is the stamp set.

This is a lovely stamp set with line art images. You can colour it with Blends, Watercolouring or even leaving them without colour.

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #156 – USE BOTH DAISY DIES AT THE SAME TIME FOR DIFFERENT COLOURS!

November 15, 2023November 14, 2023 Jenny Hayward

Wednesday’s WOW! #156 – Use both Daisy Dies at the same time for different coloured flowers.

This is a great effect. If you don’t have the Daisy Dies you could use any layering flower dies.

How it works? Layer the dies together on one coloured card and diecut out. Diecut again on a different coloured card. This works well with white and another colour.

Swap over the different shapes and layer them together for a different look.

Try it out with what you have.

For more tips be sure to stop by often. Especially for our Wednesday’s WOW! You can search for other tips I have shared in the past by doing a search in the tags. There could be lots of helpful tips for your crafting.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

SWEET SUNDAY – WISHES ALL AROUND!

November 5, 2023November 5, 2023 Jenny Hayward

It’s not just one card for this Sweet Sunday. It’s the whole bundle. The Wishes All Around Bundle.

I think this bundle is so fun with the circles of trees and snowflakes. We don’t often make cards with snowflakes here in Australia. It’s too hot and sunny for that at Christmas. But the trees are very cool!

Let’s see them.

This one is stamping the trees twice. Once in Garden Green on Soft Seafoam and again in Garden Green on Garden Green. Then layer them together and add a little of the foliage. But how quick is it with the Brushed Gold Cards and Envelopes.

This is another one with the trees. Stamped in Bubble Bath and then again in Moody Mauve. The Moody Mauve trees are snipped out and layered on to the Bubble Bath ones. Oh! And check out the background. There Bubble Bath Ink has been swiped over the card base.

Here is another card so you can see the circle of snowflakes.

This is the Wishes All Around Bundle (stamps and dies).

You can see them more in my store -> HERE.

If you are in Australia and need some supplies you can stop by there and shop. Please use the Host Code: DGASD34B

Happy Sunday,

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #155 – CREATE A LAYERED LOOK WITH MASKING!

November 1, 2023October 31, 2023 Jenny Hayward

Wednesday’s WOW! #155 – Create a layered look with Masking.

Here is a way to create a great effect on your One Layer cards (as in just a card front) by giving the look of layers using a mask. See how.

To create the look firstly use a post it note to mask off an area. You can position it across ways or even at an angle.

Stamp your images so they stamp over the edge of the masked area on to the card. Remove the mask. You could leave it as it is and stamp your greeting BUT to give the look of a layer. Use a ruler and Stampin’ Write Marker (Thick Tip) and draw a line. This highlights the section.

What do you think? How about trying this on a project and see how it looks.

Happy Wednesday.

ABUNDANT BEAUTY SNOWFLAKES WITH SENDING CHEER BUNDLE

October 27, 2023October 26, 2023 Jenny Hayward

This card is using one of the other masks in the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks. While there is the set of masks to build up the Sunflower there is also the snowflake mask, the leaves and the Argyle pattern mask.

For this one I have used the snowflake mask.

The snowflakes were ink blended with Balmy Blue ink and then a touch of Night of Navy ink added on parts of the snowflake.

I used the Sending Cheer Bundle with it. It’s hard to tell but the bow on the gift is heat embossed in Silver Embossing Powder for some shine. I have used the Nested Essentials Dies for the banner.

If you are wondering about the blue strip. That is from the Textured Shimmer Paper pack. It has a subtle shine. It’s a shame you can’t see it.

We made this one for one of the cards in my classes recently. If you are a Wollongong local we would love you to join us. They are lots of fun. Send me a message and I can send you the details for our upcoming classes. If you are not local you can grab the Class Kits by Mail.

This is the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks if you haven’t noticed them yet.
