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.

Happy Crafting,

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.

A SKETCH CHALLENGE WITH HELLO IRRESISTIBLE!

Jenny Hayward

On my Private Facebook Group I set a little sketch challenge this weekend to help inspire the members in their creating.

This is the Sketch. (This was from Julie Davison).

I had a little play myself today. This is the card I created.

This card was very quick to put together. There was very little stamping. The Hello, Irresistible Paper was the star.

The white background was embossed with one of the folders in the Basics 3D Embossing Folders set. I have to say there are 3 Embossing Folders in this set and they are all great designs.

The sentiment piece was diecut with a die from the Harvest Dies.

So, why not have a go at the sketch yourself. Share it with me. Send it to me at jghayward@yahoo.com

OR why not join the Facebook group and share it with us there. Head -> HERE.

Happy Crafting,

SOMETHING NEW – IRRESISTIBLE BLOOMS!

Jenny Hayward

Something new is coming tomorrow. – Irresistible Blooms. Ooh! It is so gorgeous. ❤

I’m not going to say too much about it now but you will want to check back tomorrow.

Here is just one card I have created with this recently.

The paper is so gorgeous. For this one I have just cut a mat sized piece of the lovely print and then cut it in to 3. Layering it then on white card and on the Calypso Coral Card Base.

The leaves were diecut from one of the other prints in the pack. And the little “dotty strips” were added from the die set.

Be sure to come and see some more very soon.

Happy Crafting,

BY THE BAY SUITE CARDS FOR SUMMER CRAFTASTIC!

Jenny Hayward

We will start off with 2 of the cards for our Weekend Summer Craftastic Event.

These ones were using the By The Bay Suite. These were very popular and it was great seeing people’s versions of them. You don’t have to make the cards exactly as they are.

Stampin' Up! By the Bay Suite _ Birdie

The shell was diecut with the Shimmery Textured Paper. It adds a little sparkle and the texture adds an extra dimension. The By The Bay Specialty Paper is great with the colour variations. You can make a beachy scene without colouring it.

Stampin' Up! By The Bay _ Clam

The blue on this card is using the Shimmery Textured Paper. Did I mention the lovely Shimmer and texture you get. 🙂

It’s hard to see in this but the By The Bay paper has a little shine on it.

The Clam shell was stamped in Night of Navy and then using the markers I gently swiped over with Petal Pink and Balmy Blue to add some colour.

It was such a great event.

I will be back in next post to share the other 2 cards.

BY THE BAY SUITE – CHOCOLATE TREATS!

Jenny Hayward

We had our Summer Craftastic Event this past weekend. I will share some of the creating fun with you over the next few posts. Of course I did forget to take a photo of the groups on each day. Too busy creating and chatting. But I will share the projects.

Firstly, I want to share the little Chocolate Treat Bags I created for each guest.

The tag was cut with the Designer Tags Dies. I trimmed off the bottom edge and added a strip of the By The Bay Specialty Designer Series Paper. It’s lovely paper with the shiny images on one side and prints on the other side.

Being “seaside” paper the Shell Chocolates suited well for these little treat bags.

And of course the lovely sentiment for each person with a clam and a Flat Adhesive Pearl. The diecut shell added was diecut with the Shimmery Textured Paper.

Be sure to check back to see the projects shortly. Some I have used the By The Bay Suite.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

SALE-A-BRATION SUNDAY WITH FAVORED FLOWERS PAPER!

Jenny Hayward

Such gorgeous paper to share with you for Sale-A-Bration Sunday.

The Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper. Have you seen it yet??

One side has bold floral prints and the other side has simple patterns. The colours are very strong and rich. I will say initially I thought it was too heavy. But you don’t need to use it all on your project.

What I love about this paper too is that the dies from the Fragrant Flowers Bundle match some of the dies on the paper. So no fussy cutting around. The flowers from the stamp set co-ordinates so well the paper too.

I have shared some projects previously but check these ones out created by Stampin’ Up! artists.

If you love this paper and would love this for Free! It’s available as a choice for Sale-A-Bration with your orders over $90 AUD.

So if you are in Australia and need some of this in your life then you can head over to my store now -> HERE. Please use the Host Code: 73TFR9BD.

Or contact me directly. I am happy to help you.

Happy Sunday,

Jenny

BEAUTIFULLY HAPPY WITH TWO TONE FLORA DIES!

Jenny Hayward

Another card with the Beautifully Happy Stamp Set.

Have I told you how much I love this set?? I love the sentiments and I love that it is a 2-step set which is great. What I don’t love is that it is only available for less than 2 weeks with Sale-A-Bration coming to an end. 😦

As a 2-step stamp set you can stamp the outline in the Memento Black and then use the “fill-in” images to stamp inside the outline. Of course you can colour it with the Stampin’ Blends or Pencils if you like to.

On this card when I stamped the Balmy Blue little ball flowers I didn’t like how it also coloured the leaf tips on some of the upper flowers so I coloured over them with the old Olive Marker and coloured the stem too. I coloured the centre of the flower with the Daffodil Delight Marker.

The sentiment is diecut with one from the Beautiful Shapes Dies. The background was diecut with the beautiful detailed background die from the Two Tone Flora Dies. They give such a soft, delicate touch.

This card was inspired by Sharon Burkett -> HERE.

Are you needing some supplies and you are in Australia?

I would love to serve you. Stop on by my store -> HERE Please use the Host Code: 73TFR9BD Or contact me directly.

STAMPIN’ UP! ADORABLE OWLS!

Jenny Hayward

I have shared the Adorable Owls before but have to share this card too. I’m really loving these cute owls. I’m not normally in to owls but these are just so happy. You can’t help but smile.

This one was coloured with the Watercolor Pencils and just a light wash over it. I teamed it with the Dandy Designs Paper also from Sale-A-Bration. Who said blue and green can’t be seen together?? 😉

There are only 2 weeks left to pick up the Adorable Owls set or the Dandy Designs Paper or any of the other great choices. Don’t miss out on them. You can choose one with your qualifying orders.
