TRANSLUCENT FLORALS PART FRONT CARD!

Jenny Hayward

I made this card for our Retiring Class last week. But then I had to cancel it as I was unwell all week. But I can still show you.

This is with the Translucent Florals Bundle. It is leaving us soon.

It’s such an easy stamp set to work with. It does give it a a “translucent” effect on the flowers when you stamp them and you don’t even need to add any other colour.

You can’t really tell too much in the photo but part of the front of the card is cut off so the front panel hangs over the inside of the card. This shows the card closed.

And the inside of the card.

The embossing Folder I used on the front is leaving too. (Actually I just checked and it is already sold out sorry).

Be sure to check out all the Last Chance items before they go. They are only while supplies last.

You can see all the Last Chance Items -> HERE. If you are in Australia and need to order you can Order in my store at that link OR contact me directly. I am happy to help you out.

Don’t miss out on any of your favourites from your Wish List. Some of these are greatly reduced too so check them out.

Happy Crafting,

TRIFOLD ARCHES CARD + VIDEO!

Jenny Hayward

This week for our video we have … a Trifold Arches Card.

You can make them any shape you like though if you don’t have the Everyday Arches Dies. Try with Oval or Rectangle Dies or cut your Rectangles with the Paper Trimmer if you don’t have any.

Here is the card folded up.

You can also decorate it as you like. I have used the Wildflower Birthday Specialty Paper which has the gorgeous paper with gold touches and the Diecut pieces so no colouring involved.

The card is very easy to make. In the video I show you the measurements in Metric and Imperial. If you would like the written Tutorial I will be sending that out to my newsletter Subscribers next week. (Tuesday 15th April).

I send out a Tutorial each week to my lovely Subscribers so be sure to be on the list. You can find the link in the Right Hand Side Bar on my blog.

Here’s the video for you.

I hope you get to make one. If you have any questions then don’t hesitate to contact me.

These are the Everyday Arches Dies. There are 10 Dies in total you can use one on their own or layer them together.

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

If you need any supplies for your crafting and you are in Australia I would love to serve you. You can head to my store -> HERE Or Contact me directly.

STAMPIN’ UP! BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLIES PAIR ~

Jenny Hayward

Some time ago I shared a video of 5 Ways with the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Butterflies Bundle. It has been extremely popular. BUT I realised I hadn’t actually shown you the card created in the video.

So here it is. I made the Balmy Blue version in the video but had the Fresh Freesia one made. Which colour do you like?

This is the inside.

You can see the measurements to create this version in the video.

I have recently sent it out to my newsletter Subscribers. I send out a Tutorial each week in my Newsletter. Be sure to Subscribe so you can receive a Free Tutorial each week. You can see the tab in the Right Hand Column on my Blog.

A SIMPLE CARD WITH THE THANKFUL GARDEN STAMP SET!

Jenny Hayward

Recently we had the Thankful Garden Class. I showed different ways of using the Stamps, Dies and Masks. Everyone created 3 cards.

I like to start off with a very simple card. Then step them up and then usually a different technique or Fun Fold.

This was the Simple card. Just stamping the big flowers on the card and adding some pretty paper from the Unbounded Beauty Paper.

This is a great one when you don’t feel like colouring. But if the colouring urge grabs you it’s an easy one to colour. It has Masks in the Bundle which you can colour with ink and the Blending Brushes. Or you could colour them with the Stampin’ Blends or other colouring mediums.

I have to point out the sentiment rectangle piece. These are my new favourite. They are the Textured Notes Dies. I have talked about these previously but they are gorgeous. They have different edgings around the rectangles. You can use them on their own or layering them together.

If you are in Australia I would love to help you grab your latest crafting goodness. You can head to my Store -> HERE.

Don’t miss out on the Last Chance retiring items though too. Great discounts there.

AND, if you are a Wollongong Local and would love to get together with some new found friends and be creative I would love you to join my classes. We always look forward to people joining us. Drop me a Comment or an email and I can tell you about it.

Happy Crafting,

BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLIES WITH BOKEH PAPER!

Jenny Hayward

Beautiful Butterflies and pretty paper. It’s such a sweet combination. This card was one of the cards in the video of 5 Ways with the Beautiful Butterflies. I realised I hadn’t shown you more of it

I have used some strips of the Beautiful Bokeh Paper on the card mat. Then stamped and coloured 3 small butterflies to match the paper strips. I added some Wink of Stella to the wings to make them sparkle but it is hard to see in the photo.

Although there is a little colouring with the butteflies it is a card you can reproduce a number of to give to lovely people to brighten their day.

If you missed the video to see the 5 Ways I posted this recently on my blog. You can head back to see it on my blog just a little way back OR it is now on Youtube.

If you need some supplies to create the card yourself or for any other project I would love to help you if you live in Australia.

STAMPIN’ UP! THANKFUL GARDEN WITH PAPER STRIPS

Jenny Hayward

Our class last week was using the Thankful Garden Bundle. There are lots of ways to use this gorgeous bundle.

This was one of the cards we made. We coloured the flower with the Stampin’ Blends as in the class it is hard to use the masks with a group to share them around. But it shows that you can use these in many different ways.

The paper strips are with the Mixed Media Floral Paper that is an Online Exclusives. They just make a different element to the card mat and highlights the colours used.

This is the Thankful Garden Bundle. You can see it more -> HERE.

MINI BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLIES CARD!

Jenny Hayward

I have been sharing a lot with the Beautiful Butterflies Bundle. It is a gorgeous one. You might have caught the 5 Ways with the Beautiful Butterflies Video I posted just recently. You can find this in a previous post on my blog or now on Youtube. But I will also have the link below if you missed it.

This is one of the cards I created. It is a Mini Beautiful Butterflies folded card in Fresh Freesia.

MAKE IT YOURSELF:

To create this place your die on the fold line of your card base with the little score marks on the die lining up on the fold. Diecut it out. You will have a fold card. If you want some pretty paper on the butterfly adhere your paper to the front of the card first. I used the Beautiful Bokeh paper for this one.

I added a detailed diecut body in white on the front of the card.

If you missed the tip on how to cut the black body then be sure to check on my page or on the video -> HERE.

If you have the Beautiful Butterflies I hope you get to make one similar. Have a play with it. It’s lots of fun.

This is the Beautiful Butterflies Bundle. You can see it more in my store -> HERE.

TRY THE FAUX WATERCOLOUR TECHNIQUE WITH THE VIDEO~

Jenny Hayward

I came across the Faux Watercolour Technique recently. I was intrigued and had to try it. I thought you might like it too so I put together a video. You can follow along and give it a try.

As you watch you might see it is a bit like the Smooshing Technique. But there are some differences.

Here is the video.

Here is the card I created.

The Thankful Garden Bundle includes Stamps, Dies and Masks and is an Online Exclusives.

If you have missed it you can see it online -> HERE.

I have also used the Soft Waves 3D Embossing Folder which adds a nice, curvy texture. Also, using the Arched Dies for the sentiment adds a different element.

Hope you like it and get to try the technique yourself.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

STAMPIN’ UP! HEART SHAPED STAMPS AND DIES IN LAVENDER!

Jenny Hayward

I have been loving the Heart Shaped Stamps and Dies.

They are so pretty. The elegant leafy heart die is different to your regular diecut heart. I think this type of heart can be used for many different occasions not just for the “love” type cards.

I teamed it with the Perennial Lavender Paper. I think we move on to the new and greatest new thing and forget the “older” products. The Lavender paper works so well with this leafy heart.

Here is the card.

If you notice too, I diecut the heart from the Perennial Lavender Paper too. It gives a nice, subtle colour variation. The stamped leafy heart add something extra to the diecut heart.

How pretty is this set??

It’s such a simple but elegant set. Sadly it is going this Friday. This is one of the Level 2 Sale-A-Bration choices. Meaning you can choose this one with orders over $200 AUD. I think it is a must have and it might even go to my “keep” pile after it is gone.

Be sure to get your order in by Friday to get this or any of the other Sale-A-Bration choices.

If you need to order you can Shop in my Store -> HERE OR contact me directly. I would love to help you.

CORNER IN BLOOM LAVENDER CARD!

Jenny Hayward

I was playing with the Corner in Bloom Stamp Set recently. I was wanting to colour the pretty lavender type flowers. I’m not exactly sure if they are lavender but we will go with that right. 🙂

I noticed in the Sale-A-Bration catalogue how the creator had coloured the sample and I thought I would try that. This is the card.

Here’s a closer look at the card. I used the Night of Navy Light Stampin’ Blends and the Light and Dark Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends.

The card mat was embossed with the Starstruck Embossing Folder.

Both the Stamp Set and the Embossing Folder are available as Sale-A-Bration choices with your $100 order (AUD).

This is the Corner in Bloom Stamp Set.

Sale-A-Bration is not around for much longer so if you want to grab these great products as your bonus gifts then you need to get your order in very soon.

If you are in Australia and need supplies I would love to help you out. You can head to my store -> HERE Or Contact me directly.

Maybe you can use this idea from this card to colour your flowers when you are creating next.

Happy Creating,

Jenny
