STAMPIN’ UP! LAYERS OF BEAUTY ~

May 28, 2024May 28, 2024 Jenny Hayward

I have been playing with the Layers of Beauty Bundle – the stamps, Dies and Masks. I have seen some beautiful creations with these.

I’m still not sure of this card I created. I thought with this one I would stamp the outline in Basic Gray but looking at it afterwards you can see the lines and I’m not sure I like that. I added the colour through the masks. Perhaps I went a little heavy handed with the ink colour blending.

Still a work in progress. But here’s the card.

I added the strips of the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper for something a little different.

The Masks are easy to use I will say that. There are 5 masks all numbered. You use them from 1-5 to build up your layers. I would suggest starting off with the light colours first and getting darker to 3. 1-3 are the flowers. Then the 4 and 5 are for the leaves. So start with the lighter colour for 4 and darker with 5 for the highlights on the leaves.

I think I will head back to the craft room and work on these a little more. They are fun to work with.

These are the Layers of Beauty Bundle. Great Bundle to get all 3 of the products together – and to save. You can get them separately too.

You can see this Bundle in store -> HERE. I see that it is low inventory so you may want to be quick with this one.

I do hope you get to play with them.

Happy Crafting,

SWEET SUNDAY WITH STAMPIN’ UP! TENDER HEARTED ~

May 26, 2024May 26, 2024 Jenny Hayward

Sweet Sunday and I just had to share this card with the Tender Hearted Stamp Set. Well it is just sweet …

I remember my little kiddies doing this when they were young. Pretending to be Dr’s attending to their toys. It brings back such precious memories. I just had to share it.

This card was created by Stampin’ Up! Artists.

I love how they have used the strips of Designer Series Paper on the card too. This is a great way of using your little scrap pieces. Perhaps you can use that idea on a card you make soon.

The Tender Hearted Stamp Set has some cute images in the whole set. It’s not just for the young kids. What a lovely one to use on cards for friends.

It is now available in my store (Australian residents). You can order this now -> HERE. Please use the Host Code: R4QU9DB3

You can contact me directly.

Have a lovely week,

Jenny

FRONT PANEL GATEFOLD CARD + VIDEO!

May 25, 2024 Jenny Hayward

I love Fun Folds. I have a cool Fun Fold card for you today AND a video to help you create it.

It’s a Front Panel Gatefold Card.

You have the Front of the card. Just like any regular looking card really. I have used the Stippled Roses Stamp Set for this one.

But lift the front and you have a Gatefold. It gives a little extra WOW! to the card. For this one I have used the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper on the side panels.

Then open the 2 flaps and you have the inside. With a little stamping and a strip of the paper it adds to the specialness.

What do you think?

You can follow along with the Video to make your own.

The measurements are included in the video. Stop or pause or rewind. If you prefer the written version I’m sending that out in my newsletter next week.

If you are not a subscriber to my newsletter please consider it.

I send out a Free Tutorial each week with a bonus one when you first subscribe. You can find the tab to subscribe in the right hand column on my blog.

PEACH PIE AND SPARKLE WITH SPOTLIGHT ON NATURE!

May 21, 2024May 21, 2024 Jenny Hayward

Have you noticed the In Color Glimmer Paper. It adds a little sparkle to your projects. It’s so pretty.

This card has just a little strip of the Peach Pie Glimmer Paper. We created the card for my Catalogue Launch just recently. I was inspired to create this card from one similar I saw on Pinterest but can’t remember who it was now.

The card is with the lovely Spotlight On Nature Stamp Set and uses the Spotlight On Nature Dies also. The paper is from the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper.

This is the 2024-2026 In Color Glimmer Paper.

You receive one 12″x12″ sheet of each colour. It is so sparkly and so pretty. A little bit goes a long way.

It is available now in the new Annual Catalogue. You can see it in my store now -> HERE if you would like some of the sparkly prettiness.

Or you can contact me directly and I can help you.

BEACH DAY BOARDS!

May 14, 2024May 16, 2024 Jenny Hayward

It’s Beach Days Today. We have had so much rain here recently and I’m missing the beach. So I pulled out Beach Day stamps and dies that I had just received and created my own beach days.

The circle was diecut with one of the Deckled Circles Dies. I then diecut a circle using the small Circle in the Beach Day Dies to create a mask to blend the sun. The colours for the sun was Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie. After that I sponged Balmy Blue around the edges for the sky.

If you want to see how it is done I have added a quick video on my Facebook page and on Instagram. You can view it on Facebook -> HERE. By the way do you follow me there? Be sure to HIT the Follow so you can catch what I share there.

The board were stamped in Poppy Parade, Shaded Spruce and Daffodil Delight. Then with the light Stampin’ Blends I coloured an outline inside the board edge. I saw this idea on another card on Pinterest but now I don’t know who that was.

When I diecut the sand from Crumb Cake I brushed on some Crumb Cake Ink to the edge and then stamped the seashells.

The paper background is from the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper. The greeting was diecut from the Happy Little Things Dies.

Does that bring you Beach Day vibes? I hope so.

These are available in the new catalogue now.

Need them or any other crafty products? You can order directly in my store -> HERE. Please use the Host Code: R4QU9DB3

Or contact me and I would love to help you get them.

Happy Crafting,

SPOTLIGHT ON NATURE IN GREENS!

May 6, 2024May 6, 2024 Jenny Hayward

Another Spotlight on Nature card for you. This is one of the cards we created at our Extra Stamping event at Onstage back in March.

It is created with 2 of the new In Colors too. The Shy Shamrock and Summer Splash. The other green is Granny Apple Green. I do love the stamping of the leaves on the background green.

Now I do love green. It is my favourite colour BUT I needed to add an extra white card piece between some green. It was all getting lost. I think that makes it POP a little more.

For the stamped flowers position the two Granny Apple Green pieces how you would like them and then stamp the flower on both pieces at the same time while they are together. It is so much easier than trying to line it up and getting the angles of the card right.

I love with this set that you can keep it simple or step it up. It is so versatile – and so lovely!

Have you seen the Spotlight on Nature Stamp set? It comes as a Bundle with the great circle dies or you can buy each of them separately. But just remember you save 10% by getting them as a bundle.

I do hope this is one on your list though. It really is pretty.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

SPOTLIGHT ON NATURE FOR THE BEGINNER STAMPER!

May 3, 2024May 13, 2024 Jenny Hayward

The new catalogue began this week. Woo Hoo! Have you checked it out yet?

This week I was part of the Crafty Collaborations Beginners Stamping series. It’s a large number of videos with tips for the Beginner crafter. They may even help the “well-seasoned” stamper too.

You can follow along with these videos -> HERE. Take your time and work through them. You can come back to them anytime too. AND it’s free!

It will take you through the basics of the types of stamps, inks, adhesives. Also, Cutting and scoring your cards (which I created a video for). That’s always tricky! Then goes through some simple techniques to try.

Head over and check in on it.

As part of this series there is also a number of videos with some more Simple designs. Simple stamping can be a challenge even for the more advanced stamper.

Continue on with that video series and you will find them.

I have added my video here for you to check out. This one is Cutting and Scoring your card in Metric.

I have added the Imperial Cutting and Scoring too as I know many of my followers here are from the US.

This is the project I created for my Simple stamping card.

I will add my video below here on the Simple Stamping project you can create. This simple card is above. For the Stepped Up version check below.

I created a Stepped Up version. Adding a little more texture and elements. Of course you could go way more avid but a few additions can really add to your project already.

I have used the Spotlight on Nature Stamp set.

You can see the added texture and elements here. I think a little glitter should be added to the butterfly.

So with a few steps you can take your card to the next level.

This Spotlight on Nature stamp set is really gorgeous for any level of crafter.

It does come as a Bundle too with some gorgeous shape dies great layering.

You can see it more -> HERE.

Head over and check the videos out.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #161 – CREATE YOUR OWN EMBELLISHMENTS!

April 24, 2024April 24, 2024 Jenny Hayward

Wednesday’s WOW! #161 – Creating your own Embellishments.

Do you want to know a fun way of creating your own embellishments or accents? So easy. Let me show you.

Colour a piece of card with your Stampin’ Write Markers. You want to use the Markers rather than the Stampin’ Blends as you don’t want the colour to blend. It gives you the mottled, rough look.

Once you colour your card diecut it or punch it out and add it to your projects. It will give added texture to them.

See how it looks below.
