FRONT FLAP CARD WITH A SURPRISE + VIDEO!

September 28, 2024September 28, 2024 Jenny Hayward

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,

Jenny

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

September 25, 2024September 25, 2024 Jenny Hayward

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!

September 23, 2024September 23, 2024 Jenny Hayward

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.

September 19, 2024 Jenny Hayward

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,

Jenny

Stampin' Up! Grassy Grove - Deer in the Forest

DEER IN THE FOREST WITH STAMPIN’ UP! GRASSY GROVE

September 13, 2024September 13, 2024 Jenny Hayward

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.

FAUX TEARING TECHNIQUE FUN!

August 19, 2024August 18, 2024 Jenny Hayward

Our last class was creating with the Faux Tearing Technique. It was a lot of fun looking back at this older technique. Have you tried it?

This was one of the cards we made. This one using the Irresistible Blooms Stamps and Dies.

It is very easy technique to do. All you need is Blending Brushes and ink and use any stamps you have. You can use scrap paper for the masks or use the Masking Paper or large Sticky Note Paper.

Tear your paper so it is at least as wide as your white card. Position that over your card at the top and bottom leaving a gap on the card in the centre section.

Blend over some ink on the white card building up your colour. Hold your paper firmly so it doesn’t move. I then moved the paper away from the inked edge just slightly and added some more ink for a light edge. Then return your masks to the original position and stamp over the images having some go off the edge of the masked area.

Finish your card as you like.

Are you game to try it?

Happy crafting,

Jenny

SWEET SUNDAY WITH THE MUSICAL JAMBOREE STAMP SET!

August 11, 2024August 11, 2024 Jenny Hayward

It’s a cute sing, song with the Muscial Jamboree Stamp Set for Sweet Sunday.

Isn’t this character having such a great time singing his heart out??

(Card created by Stampin’ Up! artists)

On the circle diecut with one from the Spotlight in Nature dies the image was stamped and coloured with the Stampin’ Blends. The clouds were first cut from the Hot Air Balloon Dies and then placed on the circle creating a mask. Then brush over the sky with some ink with the Blending Brushes.

On the Timber 3D Embossing Folder ink was swiped over the inside of the folder. You can swipe over with the Ink Pad or use the Brayer with ink. Then add your Balmy Blue card mat and run it through the machine. This adds an extra dimension to you card and highlights the embossed detail.

So enjoy a little sing along with this cutie for our Sweet Sunday. Have a great week ahead. I hope you escape to your craft space this week.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny
