WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #121 – MASK YOUR SENTIMENT!

Jenny Hayward

Wednesday’s WOW! #121. Sharing a tip for you on masking your sentiment area. This creates an “edge” for your surrounding stamping and creates a white space for your sentiment that helps it stand out without even raising it on a separate punch or diecut. It creates such a cool effect.

We created this card in my Retiring Class last week. I love the Beautiful Friendship stamp set and I’m so sad it is leaving. This card is not my original idea. I saw it on Pinterest by Nancy Ferb.

I have used the Mango Melody for the card base and Terracotta Tile for the card mat.

You create the mask for your sentiment area by adding a Sticky Note on the white card. I have shown it below. You can place it anywhere you like. Then stamp around the Sticky Note. When you are done remove it and then you have a “block” area to add the sentiment.

Sadly this stamp set is no longer available. 😦 They go quick when they are retiring.

Don’t miss out on any other of the Retiring Items. Only 2 weeks left. Check it out -> HERE.

Check out the Clearance Rack too for some huge discounted items. See it -> HERE.

With your orders I’m sending out some of my Hand-made cards. I have lots to give away. That’s in addition to the other little gifts I send out.

Happy Stamping,

UNDER MY UMBRELLA SET IS GOING!

Jenny Hayward

I love the sweet Under My Umbrella stamp set and the matching Umbrella Builder Punch. I’m sad that it is leaving. I really haven’t used it enough.

For our retiring class last week we used the Under My Umbrella for one of our cards. I think it was a popular card among the ones we made.

This card was inspired by a card by Mena Green from personally4u.blogspot.com that I found on Pinterest. I changed it up quite a bit.

I used the retiring 3D Lace Embossing Folder for the card mat underneath. The umbrellas were stamped on pieces of pretty Paper. You could use any but I ended up with the Butterfly Bijou Designer Series Paper and the Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper. They can be punched with the matching Umbrella Punch.

I have to say when I was making this card I had lots of umbrellas punched from all different patterns of paper. It was a fun process but to be honest I really didn’t have time for that. 🙂

Here is a couple of other cards I have made using this stamp and bundle set.

If you want to order this yourself I have to say I just noticed the Umbrella Builder Punch is no longer available.

The Under My Umbrella Stamp set is still available. See it -> HERE in my store.

The 3D Lace Embossing Folder can be found in my store -> HERE. And get this it is reduced to $4.38. That is 75% off!!! Can you believe that??

WILDLY HAPPY EASTER BASKET AND CARD!

Jenny Hayward

Have to share with you 2 of the projects we made at our Easter Class last week. Add a little bunny from the Wildly Happy stamp set and it works out just cute for Easter.

We made another gift box too which I might show at another time.

The bunnies were coloured with the Stampin’ Blends. The paper is from the Sale-A-Bration Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper Pack. The sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Greetings set.

This long Gift box you can make for yourself. I found it HERE on Sarah’s Blog.

Happy Stamping,

Jenny

CALYPSO DRAGONFLY GARDEN!

Jenny Hayward

I love the Dandy Garden Designer Series Paper but I will say some of the prints are quite “strong” can I say. What do you do when you have such a strong paper? You can use small strips which is what I do often or with this print with the Dandelions I used it as a background.

This was one of the cards we made in a recent Dragonfly class.

The white card was cut with one of the Stitched Rectangles Dies and the daisies stamped on the card. You can add a touch of colour on them too if you like. Some did in the class.

The dragonfly was stamped on white card and the “solid” stamp was stamped in Calypso Coral to add some colour. Before you add this piece and the Designer Series Paper piece to the white card base tie some Mossy Meadow trim around the paper.

If you are in the Wollongong area come and join in my classes. They are on each fortnight. But I always have the option by mail too. So no matter where you are in Australia you can take part.

Hope your weekend has some creating in it.
