WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #158 – Here’s a tip to help you make your diecutting run easier through your machine.

If you turn your piece of card and the die at a little angle on the Clear plate before you diecut you will find it runs through much easier. Be sure to check that no card overhangs the edges of the plate.

Hope this helps.

If you would like other tips to help your stamping be sure to subscribe to the blog. Check the side bar for the link. Also you can do a search for Stamping Tips or Wednesday’s WOW! and it should come up with SO many tips.

Happy Crafting,

STAMPIN’ UP! FLIGHT AND AIRY PAPER CARD!

January 25, 2024January 17, 2024 Jenny Hayward

Create a card – with your paper. After all it’s such pretty paper.

For this I have used the Flight and Airy Paper.

I fussy cut one of the birds from the paper pack to add to the front with a sentiment layered on vellum and some ribbon.

This is the inside.

Cut a strip of your lovely paper twice the size as you would cut a card mat for the card. So just slightly smaller than your card base. Score a line down the middle and adhere the back to the card mat.

I have added a card mat as a base to make it sturdier but you could use it just with the paper as a card.

Don’t forget to decorate the inside too.

This is such pretty paper. Really it is a must have!

This paper is a free choice for Sale-A-Bration with orders over $90 AUD.

Need to Order: Head to my Store -> HERE. Please use the Host Code: KHC6EC9M

Or contact me directly and I can help you out.

Happy Crafting,

PERENNIAL LAVENDER PAPER CARD!

January 22, 2024January 17, 2024 Jenny Hayward

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.

COLOURED SIMPLE STIPPLED ROSES!

January 16, 2024January 15, 2024 Jenny Hayward

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.

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

SIMPLE STIPPLED ROSES!

January 14, 2024January 13, 2024 Jenny Hayward

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.

The black sentiment piece makes it all POP too.

Have you seen the Stippled Roses Bundle?

You can see it in store more -> HERE.

There are so many great choices for your Sale-A-Bration picks this year? Lots of gorgeous papers. They are available with orders over $90 or $180 AUD.
