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
This card is one from our Eden’s Garden class last week. I thought I would share it with you. I like sending “Card Hugs” out. They are my most favourite type of card to send.
This is a very simply classic style card but that paper is gorgeous and is the star I think.
Be sure to grab that paper before it goes.

The Week 3 project for our “A Merry Little Christmas” Series is a sweet Star Table Favour that I think will look lovely on the Christmas table this Christmas. They are very easy to make so you can whip up a few in no time.
These have been inspired by a project I saw by Deb Valder from Stampladee some time ago. I adapted it for the Table favour. The measurements are available in Metric and Imperial further below.
Here is the Star Table Favour for you. It is made with the Stitched Stars Dies.
Catch the video below.

I have been playing lots with the Eden’s Garden Suite. I will share some over the coming days and weeks but I thought I would share one today with you.
Sending Hugs. Isn’t that a nice sentiment. Nice to just let someone know you care and thinking of them.
The Ever Eden Specialty Designer Series Paper is so gorgeous. I used 2 prints on this card.
This paper is for a limited time sadly so if you want it you better grab it quickly.

We had our Onstage Stampin’ Up! Event over the weekend. We all met “virtually” for training, inspiration and creating. It’s always a fun time. And we got to see the upcoming January catalogue. Ooh!!
For the Stamp and Share part of the event we could purchase the stamps and dies beforehand to create the projects. I didn’t end up doing that so used another set I had. I thought I would share the card I made. (I only made one at the moment). 🙂
I used the Art Gallery Stamp set. It’s still one of my favourite sets and so versatile.
I took the colours from the Hand-Penned DSP that I used … but I’m still not sure of the colour combination. Garden Green and Highland Heather/Gorgeous Grape. What do you think??
Yesterday we had our monthly JEN’s INK team Zoom Craft and Chat. This month I gave them the measurements and details for a Mystery Card.
It’s always interesting to see how the cards look giving just the same basic details. I will share more of those soon. Today I thought I would share my card.
The basic requirements were a Standard Card base, Rectangle of DSP, a strip of co-ordinating card and a small square of white card. I did give them the measurements. They could add some extra card or embellishments and could add diecutting or embossing.
This is the card I created. I used the Eden’s Garden Suite.
I am just in love with the Ever Eden Specialty Paper. ❤
What would you make with these elements?
If you are in Australia now is a great time to join the Stampin’ Up! family with the exciting Savings available. Pay $130 and get $235 of products. I would love to welcome you to my JEN’s INK Team.
I’ve been playing with the Eden’s Garden Suite. Can I say gorgeous!
This is one of the cards I created over the weekend.
The Ever Eden Designer Series Paper is just so beautiful.
What about the Cotton Paper under the gorgeous paper? I cut a strip of the the Cotton Paper and cut a banner on one end. Then crumpled the paper up and then lightly flattened it out again. The Cotton Paper is similar to Tissue paper.
You can see more of the Eden’s Garden Suite in my store now -> HERE.
