SUNDAY SUITES – SEASON OF GREEN AND GOLD

Sunday Suites. We need to have a look at this gorgeous new Season of Green and Gold Suite.

I mean I’m a green fan so of course I’m going to like it but the leafy green colours are beautiful.

This Suite was just released as part of the new offerings for the Online Exclusives.

This is the Season of Green Suite Collection. There are lots of loveliness in this suite.

The Suite includes:

  • Greetings of the Season Bundle
  • Golden Greenery Bundle
  • Season of Green and Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper
  • Graceful Greenery Vellum Specialty Designer Series Paper
  • Very Vanilla Satin Ribbon – 9.1m (10 yards) and is 1.9cm (3/4″) wide
  • Cherry Cobbler and Pearl Adhesive Backed Berries – 64 pieces in total in Cherry Cobbler and Vanilla

There are 2 different bundles. You can choose them both or only one of them.

The Golden Greenery Bundle. I particularly like the foliage dies.

The Greetings of the Season Bundle. This one is so versatile. I love the dies in this bundle.

But this paper…

The Season of Green and Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper.

It comes in 12 12″x12″ sheets. 2 of 6 patterns. It has green patterns with glistening gold accents. You really have to see it. The colours in this paper are Garden Green, gold, Mossy Meadow, Old Olive, Pecan Pie, Very Vanilla.

There is also the Graceful Greenery Vellum Specialty Designer Series Paper.

It comes in 6 12″x12″ sheets. 2 each of 3 single sided designs. The printed foliage patterns can be used as a layering piece on cards and tags.

I have just got hold of some of these lovelies and while I start creating with it let’s check some of the projects that Stampin’ Up! have created with this gorgeous suite.

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #163 – TRY A WATERCOLOUR WASH ON YOUR IMAGES

Wednesday’s WOW! #163 – A Watercolour Wash on your images.

You might have tried Watercolour Washing over your card to create a background, but have you tried giving your stamped images a wash? It creates a really soft look.

Stamp your image on to Watercolour Paper. This one uses the Painted Lavender stamp set. Spritz over the image lightly with water. Allow to dry for a short time. Then stamp over the washed area again with the same image. You will get a mottled look with a wash in the background. It looks really lovely.

Hope you get to try it out. I have added this image below so you can save it to try later.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

SWEET SUNDAY WITH HEARTS AND HUGS!

You might have seen the cute Hearts and Hugs Bundle around? It’s a sweet one. So today – let’s check it out for Sweet Sunday.

This one is a bright, cheery, heart flower hug for you. (That’s a mouthful isn’t it!).

This card is created by Stampin’ Up! Artists but there are some features I just love – and it might inspire you with some ideas for your next project.

  • Use a mini heart punch to create flowers. Add some additional flowers and leaves too.
  • On the white card sponge a little ink to create a background.
  • Instead of just a card mat to lay your feature piece on, cut strips of card and emboss them before adding the pieces evenly on your card base. And give those edges a little sponge to help highlight them.

Are there ideas you could use?

This is the Hearts and Hugs Bundle. (It is reduced this month too which is a bonus savings).

You have the cute critters too.

You can see it more online -> HERE.

If you would like to order it or any other supplies and you are in Australia head to that link above. Please use the Host Code: 7M7V93KG

OR you can contact me directly.

Happy Crafting,

FLOWERS OF BEAUTY SPARKLE!

I shared a post recently of a card I CASED from the Annual Catalogue. Head back 2-3 posts back on my blog if you missed it. I thought I would share more of the card here now.

This is the card created copying one from page 53 of the Annual Catalogue.

I have used the Flowers of Beauty Stamps and Dies. I diecut the leafy stem from the Petunia Pop Glimmer Paper which adds a lovely sparkle. You can see that below.

The small flowers were diecut with one of the dies and then some Pretty in Pink Ink dabbed on the edges of the petals.

Don’t forget to use your Catalogue for inspiration when you are stuck. It is a great resource that we overlook.

The Flowers of Beauty are at the moment unavailable which is a shame BUT they will be back very soon. So you can grab your set then. Or if you would like me to let you know when they are back please comment or email me and I can notify you as soon as they are.

If you are in Australia and Need any supplies then you can head to my store -> HERE. Please use the Host Code: 7M7V93KG

Or contact me directly.

Now off you go and grab your catalogue. Have a flick through and see what card inspires you to create.

Happy Crafting,

STAMPIN’ UP! WILDFLOWER DESIGNS ~

Wildflower Designs Bundle. Have you noticed this one?

I’m loving the dies and how they layer together. Check these cards out. (Created by Stampin’ Up! Artists)

This is a great way of showing off the pretty papers. Make it a star within the diecuts. The papers are the Wildly Flowering Designer Series Paper.

Or this one, Diecutting the paper this time and layering them over the card as a background. This is a great way instead of just adding a piece of paper as a card mat.

What do you think of these ideas?

The Wildflower Designs Bundle are just one of the bundles reduced this month with the Bundle Sale in June.

If you want to check them all out you can see them out in my store -> HERE.

If you are in Australia and need to order any of these great reduced bundles then you can order in my store at the above link. OR Contact me directly and I can help you.

Have a great day,

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! 162 – USE YOUR CATALOGUE FOR INSPIRATION ~

Wednesday’s WOW! #162 – Use Your Catalogue for Inspiration.

Do you struggle with creating sometimes?

You can find so much inspiration with the projects in the catalogue.

  • Copy them as they are.
  • Give them a twist in direction.
  • Change the colours.
  • Use a different stamp set or other products.

I was looking for ideas for the Unbounded Beauty Suite and came across this card on page 53 of the catalogue. Then changed it a little for my card.

I created a larger frame and added a sparkly leaf spray with the In Color Glimmer Specialty Paper. I used a piece of the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper for the mat behind the white card. The sentiment is from the Simply Said Stamp set.

So next time you are stuck with inspiration, pull out your catalogue.

Don’t have a catalogue?

You can view the catalogue online now -> HERE.

OR contact me and I can send you a paper copy out. (Australian residents only).

Happy Crafting,

Jenny
