With the JOIN+ you get an ABSOLUTELY, AMAZING VALUE KIT with $114 of Free products. This is great timing with a new catalogue.

I would love to welcome you to my JEN’s INK team. We are a small bunch of crazy cardmakers just like you. And many of them are just enjoying getting a discount on all their Stampin’ Up! purchases.

I have had several people join already this month just to take advantage of this. Most of them are not interested in going out “selling” but they know good value (and free products) when they see it.

What is JOIN+?

You can choose whatever products you like to.

What if I don’t want to”sell” or “demonstrate”?

You are not required to hold classes, have a big social media presence, “sell” to others. But you can enjoy the minimum 20% discount when you order while you are still with Stampin’ Up! (more savings!)

There is no obligation to continue on if you feel you can’t meet the quota to stay active. (That is $460 per quarter). Just enjoy the time while you are there. (I think you will miss us though 🙂 )

RECESSED PANEL CARDS + A VIDEO!

May 22, 2021May 22, 2021 Jenny Hayward

For today’s video I wanted to create some Recessed Panel cards to share with you. In the video I show you how to make one version but I have some other variations to share too. Have you tried this technique? It’s a great way to showcase some beautiful papers.

Check the video. I have the other cards to share with you too.

This is the card created in the video. I think when I looked at it after I should have cut the top curve higher to showcase more of the paper. You just don’t think of that in the middle of filming. 🙂

This one is the same version using a different print of the Pansy Petals paper. I used the Basic Borders Dies to create the curves in both of them.

Instead of curves you could make straight cuts in the card. For a difference though cut the card vertically. This one uses the Hand-Penned paper.

What about adding the pretty papers on top of the recess. This is a great way of showing that beautiful paper. This one uses the Art Gallery Designer Series Paper. For this I cut 2 angle cuts in the bottom right corner of the paper and added strips of the Poppy Parade card behind to highlight it.

I hope you get to create these soon. Choose whatever way you like to.

COLOR AND CONTOUR AND PARTY PUFFINS FOR MY CATALOGUE LAUNCH!

May 20, 2021May 20, 2021 Jenny Hayward

I wanted to share with you the cards everyone got to make at my 2021 Catalogue Launch last weekend. I think everyone liked them.

This card was with the new Color and Contours Bundle. I’m really enjoying this set. It’s so easy to use and I love that you can choose to colour the flowers or use the “solid” flower centres to colour them. For the leaves we coloured them with the Mint Macaron Stampin’ Blend. How pretty is the Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper edge. A strip is added just inside the card as you have the cut off scallop section on the front.

The next card uses the fun Party Puffins set. How cute are these little guys??

The pretty Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper was diecut one of the Basic Borders Dies. The stamped scalloped rectangle is from the Scalloped Contours Dies. You can add a little colour to the Puffin with the Stampin’ Blends.

The Color and Contours Bundle can be seen in my store -> HERE. I love the variations of dies in the Scalloped Contours Dies.

This is the cute Party Puffins stamp set. See it -> HERE in my store.

If you are in Australia you can shop in my store for these or any of the other great products. Head to the above links and shop around more if you like.

2021 ANUAL CATALOGUE KICK-OFF PHOTOS!

May 17, 2021May 17, 2021 Jenny Hayward

I recently held my Annual Catalogue Launch. Once again I forgot to take photos of the lovely people who came but I thought I would share the projects.

I made some cute gift tags up for the treat bags. These were using the Color and Contour Bundle. I used some of the lovely new Incolors for them.

Here is a close-up of each of the colours.

They were put inside of a cello bag which had some Memories and More cards and some Pale Papaya ribbon. The Ombre Incolor bags had some Sticky Notes, teabags and of course chocolates. I love that everything can be matchy-matchy. 🙂

Each guest could make up an Incolor Bookmark. The flowers were punched out using the Flowers and Leaves Punch. Such fun!

Next post I will share the cards each guest made. That was lots of fun too.

Happy Stamping,

Jenny

ETCHED IN NATURE WITH BASIC BORDERS DIES!

May 14, 2021 Jenny Hayward

Another card with the Etched in Nature stamp set. This card I made for a virtual swap for our OnTour Stampin’ Up! Event we had recently.

The bird was coloured with the Watercolor Pencils and using the Water Painters to wash over the colours. I did try with the Stampin’ Blends but I just couldn’t get it how I wanted.

I’m so loving the Basic Borders Dies. There are 6 different border shapes you can use on your projects. For this I used the curved edge on the Highland Heather card and the Pointed Scallop type edge on the white tag.

These are the Basic Borders Dies. Aren’t they cool!

You can see them and order them in my store -> HERE.

The Etched in Nature set is lovely. There are some issues with the quality of stamping at the moment and Stampin’ Up! have withdrawn it until these issues are fixed. Hopefully it will be back available soon.

Have you checked out the catalogue yet?

If you are in Australia then head -> HERE to view it online. (Scroll down to the bottom of the page)

Or ask me for your own copy and I will get one in the mail for you.

Happy Stamping,

2021 STAMPIN’ UP! INCOLORS WITH THE ETCHED IN NATURE STAMP SET!

May 7, 2021May 7, 2021 Jenny Hayward

You have probably seen the new, lovely 2021-2023 Incolors right?

How pretty are they? What is your favourite?

I recently made a set of cards with these colours using the new Etched in Nature stamp set. I used a different image in the set for each card.

They are simple cards. I used the Basic Borders Dies to create a fancy edge. The black with the heat embossed sentiment creates a little ‘POP’. These sentiments are diecut with the Messages Die. Such a useful die for any of your small sentiments.

The Etched in Nature stamp set has been withdrawn for the moment. There were some issues with it to have a crisp stamped image. It will be back soon though once these have been addressed. I’m so glad that Stampin’ Up! stands by the quality of their products.
