SPARKLE WITH THE BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLIES ~

Jenny Hayward

Back to more Butterfly cards. I have used the Beautiful Butterflies a lot!

This was one of the cards we made at class last week for my Card Buffet. It’s simple but with the diecut butterfly shape cut in paper it adds an extra element. The paper is from the Mixed Media Florals Paper. Then a little sparkle in Glimmer Paper was added. Got to love a sparkly, fluttery butterfly!

The wavy Embossed background gives a look of movement for the butterfly too. The Soft Waves Embossing Folder is a great versatile Folder. You don’t have to just use it for wavy seas.

The sentiment is from the Labeled With Love Stamp Set.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

SWEET SUNDAY WITH PARTY PANDAS STAMP SET ~

Jenny Hayward

I am loving pandas at the moment. They are so cute and clumsy. I remembered the Party Pandas Stamp Set. I sold mine some time ago after it retired. I was sad about that. It is such a cute set.

BUT, I received a new set on Mother’s Day last weekend. I was excited. So I spent Mother’s Day afternoon creating with it. These are the cards I came up with.

On the Left Hand Card, I used the Soft Waves Embossing Folder. The rectangle is diecut with one of the Textured Notes Dies. The Thinking of You is from the With You In Mind Stamp Set.

On the Right Hand Card the paper is from the Mixed Media Florals Pack.

I think I will have a bit of fun creating with these Pandas.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

STAMPIN’ UP! PRETTY FLORALS AND FLORALS IN BLOOM ~

Jenny Hayward

Sometimes you make a card and you are really not sure. You keep looking at it and wonder. There is something not quite right. This was one of those cards. I’m just not sure.

I thought I would show you anyway. It’s the first card I made with the new Pretty Florals Bundle and working with the new 2025 In Colors. Something just wasnt working for me.

I CASED the layout of a card from a recent catalogue by Stampin’ Up! artists. That looked really nice but it just didn’t seem to work with this one. That’s ok though. It happens.

Here we have the card.

The In Colors I used on this one are Secret Sea, Cloud Cover and the Timid Tiger. I also used Peach Pie with it which works well.

I have created more with this bundle. I have shared some already but will share more soon.

This is the Pretty Florals Bundle. It’s a 2-Step Stamp Set you can layer together.

Watch out for more with these.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

CREATE A WINDOW FLAP FOLD CARD + A VIDEO!

Jenny Hayward

This week’s video is a Window Flap Fold Card. It gives a little surprise when you start opening the card.

This is the card when it is closed up.

I used the Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper. It has such lovely colours and prints in the pack. The flowers are from the Pretty Florals Bundle. These are new in the 2025 Annual Catalogue just out this week.

When you open the card…

The sentiment is from the Loveliest Tree Stamp Set. For the window you can use any shape but I think circles do work best.

This is the inside.

I’m going to show you how easy it is to make one yourself. So follow along in the video.

You can follow along with the video HERE or on Youtube. I share the measurements in Metric and Imperial.

Jenny Hayward

New cool crafty products are out today. The 2025 Stampin’ Up! Catalogue is now Live and ready for you.

I have been playing a little with lots of fun new things.

This is just one of them.

These Pretty Florals Dies are – well pretty. 😀

They are part of the Pretty Florals Bundle with the Stamps and Dies. The paper is The Florals in Bloom Paper. There is gorgeous flower prints. For this card I chose the subtle pattern so as not to clash with the flowers.

And you can’t see the full shine on the side of the card but that is from the Flower Garden Foils Specialty Paper.

Here is the Florals in Bloom Paper.

This is the Pretty Florals Bundle. I particularly like the dies to layer together.

You can see the full Suite including the papers -> HERE. You can get each item individually too.

I will be back soon sharing more of the fun new products and projects soon so be sure to check back.

STAMPIN’ UP! WILDFLOWER BIRTHDAY – ME TO YOU

Jenny Hayward

In my Facebook Group this week I have set a little “Creative Spark” post to perhaps inspire the members creating.

This week it was to use 2 different pieces of patterned paper on their cards. So of course I created too. This was my card.

I used the Wildflower Birthday Specialty Paper. It has gorgeous paper prints as well as Diecut images and pieces ready to use. I love that this can make creating a lot quicker.

I used a sketch to create the card. The square Birthday Cake image was cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies to add some extra detail and layered on a Old Olive Card Mat.

The sentiment is from the Bright Borders Stamp Set and cut with one of the dies from the Mixed Labels Dies. A little flower piece was added that was in the diecut paper pack.

So why not try this yourself. Grab 2 different pieces of patterned paper and create a card. If you need to check out a Card Sketch to work with to help you put the card together.

If you haven’t seen the Wildflower Birthday Specialty Paper before this is the pack.

You can see it more Online -> HERE. You can order there or Contact me directly. I would love to help you get that pretty paper.

Happy Creating

STAMPIN’ UP! FLOWERS OF BEAUTY IS LEAVING!

Jenny Hayward

The Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty with the Stamps and Dies will be leaving. This was another card from our Retiring Class which didn’t end up happening last week. But I can show you.

For this card I CASED a card I made last year with the bundle and changed up the colours.

This one is in Lost Lagoon colour and I used the Everyday Happiness Designer Series Paper. The colours are soft and pretty in this pack.

I love the new Textured Notes Dies. Each Diecut rectangle has a different edge to it which adds just the extra element of interest.

To create the small frame I used the Something Fancy Dies. Which are also retiring. I used 2 frames together on the coloured card to cut the frame.

This is the Pretty in Pink version I made last year.

Which colour do you prefer?

If you want to get these Flowers of Beauty Stamps and Dies you will want to be quick.

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.
