SWEET SUNDAY WITH SANTA’S HAT ~

Sweet Sunday, or I’m calling it Santa Sunday maybe.

This week I have been creating with the new Santa’s Hat stamp set.

This is one of the cards.

This is a really simple 2 step stamp set. It has the Santa hat outline and the “fill-in” stamp that colours the hat. I like how it gets all the right shading in the hat. I couldn’t colour it like this.

It has some fun Christmas greeting stamps too. I diecut this one with the retired Mixed Labels Dies. The Poppy Parade card mat is embossed with the Softly Woven Embossing Folder which is a new one.

This is the Santa’s Hat stamp set. You can see it more -> HERE.

This is available in the September – December 2026 Catalogue. If you need to order it and you are in Australia you can order at the above link.

Happy Sunday,

Jenny

STAMPIN’ UP! POETIC PETALS DIES AND SQUARES

I have been creating quite a bit with the Poetic Petals Dies. This is one of the cards I have made recently. I wanted to check out how they diecut and come together. I will mention more of that below.

To finish the card I added a little texture with the Tree Rings Embossing Folder and a Berry Burst Card mat for the flowers using the Tile Garden Dies.

With the Poetic Petals Dies you have 3 different flower designs that diecut the centre out. You can layer them with the square dies. Each of the square dies have a different edging too. One is a straight line, one a “dotted” edge and the other is more of a small dash type edge.

You can just use those squares but for this card I layered them with one of the Tile Garden Dies. They work well with them I think. On these dies there are different edges on these squares. The largest of these dies measure 9.8cm x 9.8cm or 3-7/8″ x 3-7/8″. If you like the Spotlight on Nature circle dies you will love these. They are the same type of edges. I love that we have layering squares of these now too.

I have some more projects to come with these dies so watch out.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

STAMPIN’ UP! VIOLET DREAMS – 2 FOR 1 CARDS

I have been creating recently with the Framed Violets Bundle and the gorgeous Violet Dreams Specialty Paper.

I created the first one diecutting the scalloped oval from the paper and adding more of the paper with the black dotted print behind it. The flower is one of the black pre-printed diecuts in the pack and I coloured it with the Stampin’ Blends.

BUT, don’t waste that oval diecut. I then added it to another card.

On this card I embossed just half the card with the Soft Waves Embossing Folder. To do this add the card in just to halfway and emboss as usual. It can leave a slight mark but you can add ribbon or a strip of card or paper to cover that if it bothers you. I like that it leaves a smooth area to stamp your sentiment.

Then the paper oval was added with Dimensionals and I coloured one of the black diecuts with the Stampin’ Blends on this one too.

The Violet Dreams Suite is a very pretty one. And did I mention that paper that has the pretty diecuts in?? Many are already coloured which is good for me and some are black and white. So easy to add to your cards.

You can see it more -> HERE. And order too if you would love for your crafting.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

STAMPIN’ UP! WILD BUNCH SENDING LOVE COW ~

We can’t miss the cow with the Wild Bunch Stamp Set.

I coloured this cow with the Stampin’ Blends and layered it on some of the Lovely Blossoms Paper. I thought that paper worked well for this cow. What do you think?

It’s nice to give a card to “send some love”. Hope you get to send out a card for that soon to someone who needs a little “love”.

Have a great day,

Jenny

Unfortunately the Wild Bunch Stamp Set is now sold out. I hope you had a chance to get one but you can substitute the idea with something you have.

PENGUIN FRIENDS WITH THE WILD BUNCH STAMP SET ~

It’s Penguin Friends today with the Wild Bunch set. Aren’t these just the cutest?? Lots of penguin smiles to send to a friend. I’m sure it will cheer them up.

I coloured the penguins lightly with Watercolor Pencils and fussy cut them and raised them up on to white card circles with Dimensionals. The circles were raised up too. Adding some of the Painted Illusions paper gives some extra happiness and cheer too.

Check back for more with the Wild Bunch stamp set this week.

Unfortunately the Wild Bunch Stamp Set is sold out. It has been so popular. If you don’t have that one you might have a different stamp to substitute with.

Happy Crafting,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SNAIL WITH THE WILD BUNCH SET

It’s a Wild Bunch Week this week. We are starting off slow with the snail.

For this fun snail I coloured it with the Stampin’ Blends using the Granny Apple Green and Daffodil Delight colours for the shell and Balmy Blue for the body. The white card is embossed with the Textured Tree Ring Embossing Folder. It has so much detail.

Be sure to check in this week with some more cute Wild Bunch Cards.

Have a great week,

SCENIC COAST PART FRONT CARD ~

Back with another Scenic Coast card. Sometimes when I want to do a card a little differently but I don’t have a lot of time to do the whole complex Fancy Fold Card I do this. It’s an easy effect. I call it a Part Front Card.

I cut off half of the front of the card. Added some pretty papers. They could be the same or co-ordinating papers. Then add a front panel. This panel could be any size depending on what you want to add.

This particular card I cut a square of white card to diecut the lighthouse. Then layered some paper behind it. It kind of looks like a sunset perhaps. Then added it to a card mat panel.

Try it out when you want to cheat and do something differently. Especially if Fun Folds cards are not your favourite to do as they can be complex.

Have fun creating and exploring new things.
