BUTTERFLY BRILLIANCE FOR COLOUR INKSPIRATIONS CHALLENGE!

Jenny Hayward

I actually had time to play this weekend “Just Because”. It was nice to just dabble. I played along with the Colour Inkspirations Challenge #140. WOW! How awesome that it’s up to 140. I played along in the early days but just haven’t had time to lately.

The Colour Inkspirations Challenges can be seen -> HERE. You can see what others have created with these colours and even create one yourself and enter. Have a go.

Here is my card for the challenge for this week. It was nice subtle colours. I thought it would be good to drag out a stamp set I haven’t used for a while. And this Butterfly Brilliance Stamp Set is retiring very soon. So nice to ink it up again.

The colours were Petal Pink, So Saffron, Soft Sea Foam and Early Espresso (this one was a dark shade against those nice pastels).

Here is my card.

I blended the white card using the Blending Brushes with the Petal Pink, So Saffron and Soft Sea Foam. Then stamped the butterflies in Early Espresso. The sentiment from Happiness Abounds is stamped in Early Espresso too. The lovely Soft Sea Foam ribbon adds a little elegance.

I hope you like the card. Hope you get to play “just because” this week.

Have a great week,

Jenny

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #145 – SO MUCH INSPIRATION ON ONE CATALOGUE PAGE

Jenny Hayward

Do you just pause at a page in the catalogue and study all the gorgeousness on it?

I couldn’t help but stop at this one of the By the Bay Suite. It’s page 22 of the current Mini Catalogue. So much inspiration on one page!

I noted them all down so you can see for our Wednesday’s WOW! #145.

Let’s have a look.

Aren’t they amazing ideas! What are you going to try?

Happy Wednesday,

STAMPIN’ UP! IRRESISTIBLE BLOOMS HOORAY

Jenny Hayward

Today’s card is one from our Irresistible Blooms Class last Friday. I think this was the favourite by everyone of the cards we made.

The softness of the Soft Seafoam with the POP of Daffodil Delight is a good contrast. I love white embossed sentiments on black.

Another idea of this was layering the stamped card piece on to White card. It just gives a subtle background adding to the softness.

This card was inspired by one by Jaimie -> HERE.

I have been sharing a few cards with this lovely bundle. If you have missed them then pop back a few posts. I’m sure there is more to come too. 🙂

The Irresistible Blooms Bundle and the gorgeous paper too is part of the Online Exclusives.

You can see all the Online Exclusive products -> HERE.

A DOTTY PEEKABOO WINDOW CARD WITH IRRESISTIBLE BLOOMS!

Jenny Hayward

Today is a great Fold card with a little interesting window. It makes such a fun addition. And I have a video to share some tips when you create it.

I have used the Irresistible Blooms Bundle and Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper.

This is the card.

Don’t you just love that “dotty” strip. It’s so cool!

And for the inside of the card.

Just a tip with this paper. The Paper colours include Pretty Peacock and Lost Lagoon. These were current as In Colors a few years back.

Why have they included these now???

Well they are coming back. Yes! They will be part of the Regular Colour Collections starting in the new catalogue in May.

Watch out! It looks like a little Colour Refresh is happening. More on that in the coming weeks. It will be all revealed on the 29th March.

I share a tip in this video. If you don’t have the those colours as yet. I found using the Evening Evergreen and stamping off one time. It matched so close. But Evening Evergreen will be going at the end of this current catalogue. It’s a good short term fix for now.

So watch the video below. (If you are catching this in an email post and the video doesn’t show, head to my blog directly Or head to my Youtube Channel (HERE) and view the video there.

If you haven’t subscribed already to my Youtube Channel I would love for you to. You will keep up with all those crafty videos that you can go back to anytime. Thanks for that.

IRRESISTIBLE BLOOMS WITH SCORING!

Jenny Hayward

I have a card to share with you that I shared creating on an Instagram Reel just recently. I thought I would share it with you here today.

This card uses the Irresistible Blooms Stamps and Dies and the Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper. I have shared lots already with it. It is so gorgeous.

You can get a look of blending in the background of the circle using one of the prints in the Hello Irresistible Paper. You don’t have the mess with it.

What I particularly wanted to point out to you is the Scored lines. See them better in this image below top and bottom of the words.

To create the scored lines:

  • Stamp the sentiment. Measure the distance below the sentiment and above giving a little space either side.
  • Flip the card over. Using the Paper Trimmer and the Scoring Blade score a line near the bottom which would be below the sentiment.
  • Score higher up which should be just above the sentiment. Score another line just above that.

You can try a scored line vertically. Try a frame around the card. There are so many options. I hope you get to try one yourself.

The Irresistible Blooms Bundle and the Hello Irresistible Paper are part of the Online Exclusives available now.

There are so many lovely exclusive products.

The Online Exclusives can be viewed Online but can be ordered through my store or directly through me as with any of the other lovely products.
