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
Today’s card is one with the gorgeous Peaceful Garden Designer Series Paper.
The frame is created with the Branching Out Dies from Cloud Cover cardstock. This was embossed with the Damask Designs Embossing Folder. I cut a piece of that lovely paper to adhere to the back and then raised the piece off the Base Card with Dimensionals. This gives the card extra dimension and texture.
Isn’t the sentiment so lovely?? That was diecut with one of the circles from the Stylish Shapes Dies.
It’s a simple card but what more do you need.
Try it with any of your papers and embossing folders. You can create the frame with any shape too. Maybe a rectangle or even a circle.
Happy Crafting,
Jenny
If you need supplies and you are in Australia I would love to help you get your crafty Stampin’ Up! products. You can head to my store -> HERE OR contact me directly.
You might have heard the Stampin’ Up! packaging for the stamps and dies are changing. I have just received my first order with the new packaging so I thought I would put together a review so you can see it.
The video is on my Youtube now or you can see it below.
I would love to hear your thoughts and especially how you will store your stamps and dies now.
On a side note: If you prefer the clear DVD cases for your stamps you are able to purchase additional cases to convert your stamps. Or you can purchase additional clear envelopes to store them that way (starting in November).
Adding this Thumb Image below so you can PIN it to come back to.

I made this weeks ago but just remembering to share with you now.
This one is with the Rustic Centerpiece Stamp Set. It’s a set with images that can be used for different occasions through the year.
I like the rustic deer and tree on this one. I coloured it with the Watercolor Pencils. I find them easier to control rather than the Stampin’ Blends or Watercolouring especially when there are finer details.
The sentiment is from the Ornamental Christmas Stamp Set. The paper is with the Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper. It works well for Christmas too.
I realised I haven’t shared the other cards I have made with this set too. I shared them on my Facebook but missed it here. SO… I will be back soon with those projects.
Crafting time is a little sparse at the moment but I hope to be back soon with some more creating. Especially as we start getting in to the busy Christmas season.
Happy Crafting,
Jenny

I shared the Sunflower Embossing Folder in last post. We have some more Mini Thank You Cards.
These ones are using the Floral Charm Designer Series Paper. These are little 10.5cm x10.5cm (4″x4″) cards.
I had some “bits” from other cards I didn’t use so added these. On one card I had a diecut piece from the Branching Out Bundle and added some extra diecut leaves for the card. On the other card I had some coloured flowers from the Charming Day Bundle. It worked well with the colours in the paper.
I like sending out little Thank You cards and some “surprises” when they order. I appreciate each and every one. And I think they all love those little surprises.
If you need some crafting supplies I would love to help you get them. You can shop in my store -> HERE OR Contact me directly.
I’m making up some little Thank You Cards to send out to my lovely customers when they order. For the cards recently I have been using some “left-over” bits.
This one I was playing around with the Sunflower Embossing Folder. I fussy cut one of the sunflowers. I was going to add it to a previous card and then it didn’t work out. But not to waste it. I add it to this little Mini Card.
I had a small scrap piece of the Florals in Bloom Paper and trimmed it down for the front of the card. The sentiment from Simply Said set was stamped on some Lemon Lolly card.
I will share some more of these Mini Thank You cards very soon.
Happy Crafting,
Jenny

I have been meaning to show some more cards with the Sunflower Embossing Folder. I shared a number of the cards in my recent video but it might be good to see them close up.
This one is more a distressed looking card.
I embossed with the folder on a piece of the “wood” look pattern from the Nests of Winter Paper pack. You could use any similar print.
Then you can add your colouring. This one I used the Ink Pads and Blending Brushes then assembled it on the card base with a piece of Old Olive card off-set a little. I think curling up the edges of the embossed piece might have given a more distressed look.
I have had so much fun with this Embossing Folder. I hope to get back to you again soon with some more card projects soon.
If you missed it you can see the video of 5+ Ways with the Sunflower Embossing Folder -> HERE.

Sunday Suites with the Traditions of Christmas Suite. If you love the classic red and greens for Christmas and the Holly and Poinsettias then you will love this.
The Traditions of Christmas SuiteCollection includes:
Traditional Labels Bundle
Christmas Greenery Bundle
Traditions of Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper
Real Red 1/2″ (1.3cm) Shiny Ribbon 10 Yards (9.1m)
Traditional Sparkling Sequins 240 adhesive-backed pieces 60mm each of 4 colours. 4mm, 5mm, 6mm.
The Traditional Labels Bundle contains individual sentiments that can be used together or by themselves and not just for Christmas so it is a versatile one. But I do like the Dies set with this one with the different shape dies.
The Christmas Greenery Bundle contains the poinsettia and greenery stamps and has coordinating dies to diecut the images plus a number of different shaped leaves to create Christmas floral arrangements.
The Traditions of Christmas Specialty Paper has touches of Gold through it which is really striking. It has the classic Christmas flowers and leaves like the Poinsettias and Holly. The paper is 12″x12″ with colours of Cherry Cobbler, gold, Old Olive, Pool Party, Real Red, Secret Sea.
The Traditional Wreath Embossing Folder. Note this Embossing Folder is very large. It is 6″ x 6-1/4″ (15.2 x 15.9 cm). So bigger than your standard Card Size you would just have a touch of texture on it. It is pretty though with lots of detail.
The Real Red Shiny Ribbon is very shimmery which really adds a delicate, soft touch to cards and gift packaging. In addition there is the Traditional Sparkling Sequins.
Here are some samples with these gorgeous products.
Are you a Classic Red and Green with the traditional flowers and foliage. This will be for you. See it more -> HERE.
