CLOSE TO MY HEART PRODUCTS AT 30% OFF – WHILE SUPPLIES LAST!!

This might have slipped past your radar. But, Did you know Stampin’ Up! are carrying some Close To My Heart Products at the moment? Close To My Heart recently closed and Stampin’ Up! carried over some of the products. This is only in the South Pacific, US Market.

Stampin’ Up! are clearing them out so they are going at Thirty Percent off. While Supplies Last.

Maybe you missed the Products because you thought they might just be for Memory Keeping. Don’t think of them just for that though. They are great for making our cards.

I have picked out some of my favourites.

The Secret Garden is just gorgeous. Whether it’s the Stamps and Dies, the Paper and Sticker sheet, Or the Cardmaking Kit. The kit makes 16 cards.

I like the bright colours in the Enjoy the Ride Paper and Sticker Sheet. Do I get it???

I have recently got the Floral Sprigs Stencils. Missed out on the discount with that one…

There is also some cardstock and other great crafting items.

Lots to love.

You can check more of them out in my store -> HERE.

If you need some of these fun new supplies you can head Online at the link above. OR Contact me directly. I would love to help you out.

Happy Crafting,

FRONT FLAP CARD WITH A SURPRISE + VIDEO!

Today’s card is a cool Fun Fold. It is a Front Flap Card. It has an added flap that you could add a surprise inside.

This card was shared to me by a Demonstrator friend Linny. I loved the card and wanted to share it with you.

Here is the card.

Lift up the Flap.

Open the card.

Under the flap would be a great to add a Numbered birthday perhaps or even add a pocked for a Gift Card.

I have a video for you to follow along.

I used the Season of Green and Gold Specialty Paper. Also the Golden Greenery Stamp Set and the Greetings of the Season Stamp Set. It makes a special Christmas card to send. This could be used for so many different occasions though.

I share another one version at the end of the video so be sure to check out that one.

Follow along and I hope you get to make one.

Happy Crafting,

WEDNESDAY’S WOW #165 – WHICH WHITE CARD??

Wednesday’s WOW! #165 – White White card?

Did you know there is a new White Card available?? It has just been released. So let’s check it out and what difference it is to the other White card.

Until recently there has been the Basic White card and Basic White Thick Card.

The Basic White Card is good for your general stamping and layers on your cards and projects. This is available in 12″x12″ and A4.

The Basic White Thick Card is a little heavier weight. You can stamp on this card and it is good when colouring with the Stampin’ Blends. Being thicker though it is good for Card Bases. This is available in A4.

Now there is the White Willow Card. This is similar weight to the Basic White and is good for stamping and layers on card. It does look a little crisper white to the Basic White. This is available in 12″x12″.

Here you can see how they look all together.

You can see the White Willow card -> HERE.

Hope that was helpful for you. See how you can use that in your crafting,

Have a Happy Day,

Jenny

SUNNY SURFING SANTA FOR CHRISTMAS!

Playing a little more with the Surfing Santa Stamp set.

For us in the Southern Hemisphere this really appeals to us with our Sunny, warm Christmas.

Sunny and Bright for Christmas with the Surfing Santa Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!

A little closer view. I stamped the gifts on the card in red for a subtle background.

The Santa was fun to colour and coloured with the Stampin’ Blends. The paper strip was from Reindeer Days and added a little sparkle with the Festive Glimmer Paper.

I shared another card with the Surfing Santa just recently. You can head back one or 2 posts on my blog to see that one if you missed it.

Here is the Surfing Santa Stamp Set.

Have a great day,

Jenny

GIFTS TOSSED UP WITH THE STAMPIN’ UP! SURFING SANTA STAMP SET.

I have been playing a bit with the Surfing Santa set this week. This one is a great one for our warm, sunny Christmas.

I had this idea with this one to have the gifts look like they were tossed up on the waves. This is the card. I have to say though it wasn’t quite what was in my head. Something is not quite right. But maybe it’s an idea for when you use this set.

The paper is from the Reindeer Days pack which works ok with it.

This is the Surfing Santa Stamp Set.

Very cool isn’t it. Not just for Christmas though. I think the wave and the sun would be great with the Beach Day stamp set. I must try that.

You can see it more in my store -> HERE.

Happy Crafting,

Stampin' Up! Grassy Grove - Deer in the Forest
cards, Catalogues, Stampin' Up!

DEER IN THE FOREST WITH STAMPIN’ UP! GRASSY GROVE

I have just returned from travelling in parts of the US for 3 weeks. While it’s good to travel it’s always good to return home don’t you think?

We saw so many road signs while we were driving watching out for deer. I have to say we only saw a small group early on.

I made this card just before I left. All those signs reminded me of this card.

It’s a cute little deer peering out from the forest using the Grassy Grove dies. You don’t need a lot for the background. I added a piece of the Thoughtful Journey Paper behind the diecut.

Have you got the Thoughtful Journey Paper? It’s so pretty.

You can check it online in my store -> HERE.
