STAMPIN’ UP! FRIENDLY HELLO WITH THE DIORAMA DIES!

Jenny Hayward

Sharing this card with you today. I had this idea in my head. It didn’t quite turn out the way I had intended. I’m still not sure about it.

The idea was to create a window with the Layering Diorama Dies and using the gorgeous Friendly Hello Designer Series Paper.

With the Layering Diorama Dies cut a piece from the Paper. Move the die around until you are happy with the image inside the frame. The great thing with this is there is no stamping but lots of colour. I wonder if I should have added more colour in the images though??

With that same size die and one smaller cut a frame with the Granny Apple Green print in the pack. Then adhere these 2 pieces together. I actually added Dimensionals under the Green frame to add some extra depth.

On a piece of Granny Apple Green card emboss this with the Gingham Embossing Folder and add this to your white card base. Before adhering your Diorama Frame add some ribbon underneath. Then add your sentiment. And I also used one of little Brushed Brass Butterflies.

Have you got your Friendly Stamp Set and Paper bundle yet? It is one of the Free choices for Sale-A-Bration with your orders over $180 AUD. It is very gorgeous. You can see the paper -> HERE.

A FLATTENED RAINBOWS OF HAPPINESS CARD!

Jenny Hayward

I’m putting this card out there. Is it just me?? I feel that this rainbow is a bit flat. I added them the wrong way. But I thought I would show you anyway. Maybe it’s near the top of the rainbow?? Maybe it’s just so cloudy you can’t see it all? Is there a wrong way? Maybe I’m overthinking it …

I used the Brilliant Rainbows Dies with the Sunshine and Rainbows Designer Series Paper. I do love the pretty paper though with it’s fun colours and patterns.

The sentiment is from the Many Messages Stamp set.

You can see the Rainbows in my store -> HERE.

And check the Sunshine and Rainbows Paper -> HERE. This paper is a free choice for Sale-A-Bration with orders over $90 in Australia.

SPARKLY RAINBOW CARD WITH THE RAINBOWS OF HAPPINESS BUNDLE!

Jenny Hayward

Another card for you today with the Rainbows of Happiness Bundle. This is another one I shared in the recent video.

I think the Supple Shimmer Paper adds a special sparkle to the card.

The curvy edge can be created with ones of the dies in the Rainbows Dies set. What about the Gingham Embossing Folder though? Have you noticed that in the catalogue?

See 5 Ways with the Rainbows of Happiness Bundle in the video now on Youtube -> HERE.

RAINBOW HELLO FRIEND!

Jenny Hayward

Sharing one of the cards today from last week’s video. I showed 5 Ways with the Rainbows of Happiness Stamps and Dies. You can still catch it if you head back a couple of posts or head to Youtube -> HERE.

I had some diecut rainbow off-cuts from other projects and didn’t want to waste them. I backed some of the pretty rainbow paper from the Sunshine and Rainbows DSP for Sale-A-Bration. I used some other of the prints on the rest of the card.

Just a tip: You could create this in to a Shaker card by adding some acetate to the back of the rainbow diecut. Add some dimensionals then some sequins before adhering it to the paper.

The sentiment from Friendly Hello also for Sale-A-Bration was heat embossed in white and then I snipped around it with scissors. I love the pop of black. Don’t forget those Brushed Brass Butterflies.

It’s great with Sale-A-Bration to get those free items with your order. You can check them out in my store -> HERE. Pick your free choice with your $90 or $180 order. You can shop there too if you are in Australia.

Happy Stamping,

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #132 – A DETAILED BORDER DIE CREATES A BACKGROUND!

Jenny Hayward

Wednesday’s WOW! #132 – You can create a cool background with a detailed border die. What a great way to extend your dies. It does take a little time and is a little fiddly but the effect is so cool.

You can see the effect in this card below. (This card is created by Stampin’ Up! artists). Also note the rainboots have been stamped in reverse stamping which I am not going to address in this post today.

See the white background. This is actually created by the thin diamond strip die from the Rainboots Dies shown below.

How do you create such a cool background effect?

NOTE: This particular sample has been diecut just in white and then white card has been coloured with the Blending Brushes and inkpads.

Here is a simpler way.

You will diecut several of these dies out for the rows on the card. Firstly in white card. 5 was used on this card but check for the card you are creating. Then diecut the strip again in other colours. You can use individual colours for the centres. BUT…

There is an even easier effect – Diecut the detailed die strip in a piece of patterned paper.

Once all the pieces are diecut then assemble the card. Adhere the white diecut strips to a white card base. (You can adhere it straight to your card base but I think assembling it separately gives you some “control”). It might be helpful to lay out all the coloured diecut diamonds separately beside your card. Once you are happy with the layout then adhere each diamond inside the strips. This does take time but how effective is the end result. If you use the adhesive sheets this will also make it easier.

This method is call the Diecut Inlay Technique.

You could try this with any detailed die strip you have. Check them out and see what you can do.
