ABUNDANT BEAUTY SNOWFLAKES WITH SENDING CHEER BUNDLE

This card is using one of the other masks in the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks. While there is the set of masks to build up the Sunflower there is also the snowflake mask, the leaves and the Argyle pattern mask.

For this one I have used the snowflake mask.

The snowflakes were ink blended with Balmy Blue ink and then a touch of Night of Navy ink added on parts of the snowflake.

I used the Sending Cheer Bundle with it. It’s hard to tell but the bow on the gift is heat embossed in Silver Embossing Powder for some shine. I have used the Nested Essentials Dies for the banner.

If you are wondering about the blue strip. That is from the Textured Shimmer Paper pack. It has a subtle shine. It’s a shame you can’t see it.

We made this one for one of the cards in my classes recently. If you are a Wollongong local we would love you to join us. They are lots of fun. Send me a message and I can send you the details for our upcoming classes. If you are not local you can grab the Class Kits by Mail.

This is the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks if you haven’t noticed them yet.

You can find them in my store -> HERE.

I hope you get them and have a play with them. They are so fun.

STAMPIN’ UP! SENDING CHEER BUNDLE!

This one today is another project we made at my Christmas Crafternoon last month.

This card uses the Sending Cheer Bundle. Do you love that little gingerbread man?? It is cute.

The white card is embossed with the Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder. The paper is the retired Celebrate Everything Designer Series Paper. It worked so well with the gingerbread.

We are getting ready for another Christmas Crafternoon in November. So if you are local watch out for that if you are local.

Happy Crafting,

ABUNDANT BEAUTY – A HAPPY ACCIDENT!

This card came about by a Happy Accident.

When I was creating an earlier card I diecut a square from a piece of white card with the Stylish Shapes Dies. There was still some white on the scrap piece that I could do something with later. You save bits like that right??

When I made one of the Sunflower cards recently I grabbed it to stamp my sentiment on.

BUT I thought hang on a minute – that would make a great frame! So I sponged some more Sunflowers with the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks, cut them out and added them to the frame. How good was it that I actually centred the words on it though too.

Here is the card.

Here it is side on to get a closer look.

The Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks has layers that you can build up your flower adding ink or texture paste or even heat embossing. It creates such a great effect.

The paper is from the Les Shoppes Designer Series Paper. The sentiment is from the Go To Greetings stamp set.

Do you have “happy accidents”?

Jenny

SUNDAY SUITES – GARDEN WALK SUITE!

It’s Sunday Suites time. Today let’s check out the Garden Walk Suite a little more.

The Garden Walk Suite has stamps and paper to make floral paper crafts with a modern spin. Although I think it’s a little more rustic/vintage.

The images in this suite represent flowers from all seasons, so you can create your own season-specific floral cards or projects. So it’s great for Birthdays and Christmas and Just Because cards.

Let’s have a look closer at all that is included.

The Garden Walk Suite includes:

  • The Modern Garden Bundle (Stamp Set and the Modern Oval Punch)
  • Garden Walk 6″x6″ (15.2cm x 15.2cm) Designer Series Paper
  • Calypso Coral Braided Linen Trim 9.1m
  • Blooming Pearls – 120 adhesives pieces in Garden Green, Gold, Petal Pink and Pretty Peacock.

The Modern Garden Bundle can be ordered as a Bundle or individually. But you can save 10% by buying it as a bundle. The stamps can be used for all occasions and make up different flower combinations. The Modern Oval Punch can be used for many different elements not just for sentiments on your projects. The Punch is 6×4.1cm, 2-3/8″ x 1-5/8″

The Garden Walk Designer Series Paper comes in 48 sheets – 6 each of 8 designs.

It contains flower patterns ranging in size from small to large. Use it as a background or try fussy cutting some of the larger flowers to use as accent pieces. Even stamp directly on the paper prints with some of the flower images. The colours in the paper are –  Calypso Coral, Garden Green, Mossy Meadow, Poppy Parade, Pretty Peacock, Wild Wheat.

You want to see how it’s used though don’t you. These samples were created by Stampin’ Up! artists.

Use the punch as an element on your cards.

Use strips of the pretty Paper.

A gift bag box but check the tag?? It’s a little shaker tag with the Loose Daisy Embellishments inside.

Fussy cut some of the flowers from the paper out. But check the background too. White card was embossed with the leaves Embossing Folder and then circles diecut with the Deckled Circles Dies. Pretty cool effect!

Stamp directly on the paper.

You can see more of the Garden Walk Suite online -> HERE.

SUNFLOWERS WITH THE STAMPIN’ UP! ABUNDANT BEAUTY MASKS

Can you believe it? This was my first time at using masks of any time. And I do love how you create the layering Sunflowers from the Abundant Beauty Masks.

The colours I used was Daffodil Delight first on the flowers and then a little Pumpkin Pie in the middle of the flowers. I used Pecan Pie for the centre and then Pecan Pie for the detailed area in the centre. The leaves were with Garden Green.

I was inspired by Patty Bennett to emboss the card with an embossing folder after sponging. This one uses the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder.

The paper strip behind the stamped image is from the Joy of Christmas Designer Series Paper. The sentiment is from the Go To Greetings.

This is one of the cards we were making in class today.

I have had lots of play with these masks so I will show you more soon.

MEETING A BEAR WITH A WALK IN THE FOREST!

I have been playing with the ‘A Walk in the Forest’ Paper.

It has some great images. Some you can cut with the tree die in the Merriest Trees Dies Set. That’s always clever.

For this card I diecut some trees and fussy cut the bear. How would you be meeting a big brown bear walking in the forest? We don’t have that problem in Australia. Maybe we would come across a snake or bush turkey or kangaroo. But never a bear. This bear does look happy though if you did come across it.

It is hard to see but I have embossed the white card mat with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. The star is diecut with a star in the Merriest Trees Dies.

Something else I do love about this paper. It is the Product Giveback in the Mini Catalogue. For every pack of this paper sold Stampin’ Up! will donate $4.25 to Anglicare Toy’s N Tucker Christmas program. The Toys N Tucker program provides hampers and Toys to disadvantaged families at Christmas. This is a fantastic cause and close to my heart so I would love it if you supported it.

NOTE: Each country has a different organisation that Stampin’ Up! will donate to so check your local market.

This is the A Walk in the Forest Paper.

You can see more about the paper in my store -> HERE.

Now We’re Going on a Bear Hunt. (Do you know that song??…)

TRADITIONAL RED AND GREEN WITH MERRIEST TREES BUNDLE!

Are you Red and Green for Christmas?

This one is typical Red and Green and I have used the Stampin’ Up! Merriest Trees Bundle.

That background paper is the Joy Of Christmas Paper.

The tree was stamped in Granny Apple Green and the “branches” were stamped in Shaded Spruce.

The + on the gift I ended up colouring with a Real Red marker as I wasn’t sure that I could line that up so well.

The Merriest Trees Bundle is available in the 2023 September-December Mini Catalogue and is available to order now.

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #153 – TONE ON TONE WITH VERSAMARK

Wednesday’s WOW! #153 – Get a Tone on Tone effect with Versamark Ink Pad.

The Versamark Ink Pad is what you need to use when Heat Embossing. You ink the images with Versamark before adding your powder to heat up.

BUT Versamark is great to give a Tone on Tone effect. It’s really effective but also good if you don’t have the matching ink pad. You can use Versamark to stamp the images on the card and it gives a slightly darker tone. It does look cool!

Have you tried this?

What other ways have you used Versamark? Drop me a comment to let me know.

Hope you pull out your card and ink and start creating soon.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

STAMPIN’ UP! JOY TO YOU WITH COTTAGE WREATHS FOR CHRISTMAS!

This was one of the cards we made at last week’s Christmas Crafternoon event. It needed it to be kept fairly simple with so many people attending and many new to stamping too.

It uses the Joy To You Stamp Set and the Cottage Wreaths set. Along with the Joy of Christmas Designer Series Paper.

To streamline the process I diecut the white piece using the Nested Essentials Dies and diecut the red bow from the Country Wreaths Dies.

Everyone enjoyed the creating even those who had never done it before. So that is always exciting to see.

We are doing the Christmas Crafternoon again on October 15th so if you are local drop me a message and I can send you the details.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny
