LES SHOPPES WEEK – DAY 1!

Jenny Hayward

This week it’s all about the Les Shoppes Designer Series Paper. I have had a lot of fun creating with this fun paper and the sweet images.

I used the paper to create lots of cards particularly for my Winter Crafternoon event over the weekend. Everyone just loved the cards and the images. It was so fitting to being held in a Tearoom.

This is one of the projects everyone got to make at the Crafternoon. They received either the Calypso coloured building or the Blue building in their Kits but the design was the same.

The cloud was a cute touch. That was from the Waves Dies set. The sentiment was from the Circle Sayings Bundle and diecut with a die from the Cheerful Daisies Dies.

This is the Les Shoppes Designer Series Paper. I do love the images. It has different designs of shops on many of the prints and then on the reverse there is patterned prints to co-ordinate. You can create a whole row of shops or just focus on one of the images. So fun!

And bonus – it is 15% off this month. Only a few days left though. See it -> HERE in my store. Now $18.48 AUD.

Watch out for more fun cards this week with this paper. But if you want to grab some don’t leave it too long so you can get it at 15% off.

SUNDAY SUITES – ZOO CREW!

Jenny Hayward

Sunday Suites today well… is a bit zany with the Zoo Crew Suite.

With a dancing cheetah, a bicycling alligator, Knitting Llama, a singing tortoise and more. How fun – and cool! I think this would appeal to most people for all different occasions. It would certainly bring a smile to their face.

Here is the Zoo Crew Suite Collection.

The Zoo Crew Suite Collection includes:

  • The Zany Zoo Bundle (stamps and dies).
  • Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper
  • Ribbon Duo Pack – of Lemon Lime Twist and Petal Pink ribbon.

Let’s check them out closer.

The Zany Zoo Bundle. (save 10% buying them as a bundle)

The open line-art style of the stamp set means there’s plenty of room to customize and colour with any of your favourite mediums of Stampin’ Blends or Pencils. Even leaving them uncoloured! The three sentiments work well for any occasion.

Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper.

This pack contains 12 sheets of 12″x12″ 30.5cm x 30.5cm. 2 each of 6 double-sided designs.  This paper is packed full of different animals showcasing unique talents from singing to dancing, juggling to knitting, baking to skating, and every fun hobby in between. Some are coloured already and you can cut them and use them directly. The reverse side of the print has black and white patterns.

The colours in the pack are Basic Black, Crumb Cake, Lemon Lime Twist, Petal Pink, Pool Party, Pumpkin Pie.

So now let’s see some fun ways of using them.

I particularly wanted to show you this card below. I thought it was a great idea. The paper used is one of the black and white patterns and sponged with the Pool Party ink. A piece is adhered to the card front at an angle.

On another note, I like how the images are on a Pool Party card mat the same as the base card but it still is highlight. I must try these ideas.

One more fun sample. I love how the images are on different size Vellum pieces. Another idea to try.

The Zoo Crew Suite is now available individually or as a a Collection. AND, the Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper is at 15% off this month. So grab some of this paper for the cute critters.

Do you need some of the Zany Zoo Crew in your life or any of the other great products and you are in Australia?

COUNTRYSIDE CORNERS IN COLORS!

Jenny Hayward

I forget to show you this card. I wanted to show how all the new 2023-2025 In Colors worked together.

The Countryside Corners stamps were stamped in each In Color and then diecut and layered together. It’s a great way to show the Countryside Corners Dies too.

What do you think? What In Color do you like?

Are you in need of some new In Colors or some of the other new colours that have arrived? Or maybe it’s some other fresh new products??

ARTISTICALLY INKED FOR COLOUR INKSPIRATIONS CHALLENGE!

Jenny Hayward

I had a little play this week – just because. I played along with the Colour Inkspirations Challenge #CI144.

I have to say I found it hard colours to put together. They are beautiful colours but just being so many it was hard to work them in.

I first pulled out a few stamp sets that I thought may work and then ended up choosing the Artistically Inked Stamp set. It’s nice to play with “older” stamp sets.

This is what I came up with. The colours were Bubble Bath, Crushed Curry, Lemon Lolly, Parakeet Party and Azure Afternoon.

I stamped a number of different flowers in the different colours and then played around with the placement. Eventually I got something together. 🙂

What would you do with these colours?

There is still time to play if you want to join in too. You can follow along on the Colour Inkspirations Facebook group -> HERE.

Happy Stamping,

Jenny

TWO-TONE FLORA WITH SPONGING!

Jenny Hayward

I have been loving the Two-Tone Flora Bundle recently. It’s such a gorgeous set. For this card I sponged a background under the delicate diecut.

For the colours on the flowers I used Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape. And Petal Pink and Calypso Coral. The sentiment is from the Go-To Greetings set.

See how I have done the background. I used the Blending Brush to build up the colour on the white card. It was darker on the bottom and built up lighter towards the top.

This is the blending in progress. TIP: Start off your card and gradually move up the card as you blend in a circular motion.

Isn’t the detailed background die so gorgeous? It is so delicate.

The Two-Tone Flora is not available as a Bundle now but you can buy the stamp set and the Dies individually.

In Australia and need supplies? I would love to serve you.

SUNDAY SUITES – LES SHOPPES SUITE!

Jenny Hayward

Our Sunday Suites today is the Les Shoppes Suite. It’s a cute suite. It reminds me a little of paper doll houses when I was growing up. Does it remind you of that?

With this suite you can create unique cards and pages with vintage shops and main streets. There are shop front and vintage awning designs to use the paper directly on your projects or with the stamp set you can use an array of colouring technique options. Such fun!

The Les Shoppes Suite includes:

  • The Let’s Go Shopping Bundle.
  • Loose Silver Sequins. (approximately 1200 pieces in 3mm, 4mm and 5mm sizes).
  • Les Shoppes 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper.

The Les Shoppes Designer Series Paper.

The colours in this paper are: Balmy Blue, Basic Black, Cajun Craze, Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green, Misty Moonlight, Night of Navy, Pecan Pie, Petal Pink, Pumpkin Pie and Shaded Spruce.

Now for some samples so you can see how these fun products come together.

You don’t always have to colour them either. Stamp the images in different ink colours.

Use the Paper as a background

Add some colour too with the stamped images. I always love the POP of white sentiments on black card.

Do you like this suite? It’s a fun one.

If you need this suite or any other products and you are in Australia then head on by my store.

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #147 – 2023-2025 IN COLOR COMPARISONS

Jenny Hayward

Wednesday’s WOW! #147 – Comparing the 2023-2025 In Colors.

You are probably quite familiar with the 2023-2025 In Colors by now. So I won’t go in to detail about each colour but today I thought I would share some comparisons with you to other Stampin’ Up! Colours.

I have 2 great resources for you.

IN COLOR COMPARISON CHART

As in past years I have put together a Colour Comparison Chart so you can see how they look with similar colours.

Here are the 2023-2025 In Colors.

I have to say I wasn’t sure about them. But I am slowly warming up to some. When I had my Catalogue Launch a few weeks ago everyone loved Wild Wheat. I must say it is a great shade that goes with so many other colours.

Here is the 2023-2025 In Color Comparison Chart.

It’s always interesting to see how they compare. Sometimes ever so slightly.

Be sure to save the In Color Chart image that is above so you have it for reference later.

COLOR COACH CHART

Now if you would like a Color Coach Chart for the In Colors to help you when creating with them then you can download a chart. This chart helps you create with other colours using them.

You can Download it as a Photo version below or as a PDF further below.

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is in-color-chart.jpg

Just click on the link below.

Hope you find these resources helpful when you come to create your projects with these In Colors.

Tell me though, what is your favourite new colour?

Happy Crafting,

Jenny
