STAND UP SEASIDE NOTIONS EASEL CARD

Last post I shared a fun Easel Card for the World Cardmaking Day Blog Hop. I said that I would tell you how it was made so you can make your own. So … Here it is.

Firstly, here is the card again for you. It’s a Stand Up Easel Card.

The original idea I found on Connie’s blog -> HERE.

I will give you the measurements in Metric and Imperial.

STAND UP EASEL CARD

Base Card:

Card – 10.5cm x 28cm (4 1/4″ x 11″) Score at 7cm and 14cm (2 3/4″ and 5 1/2″). Fold on score line.

Piece of Designer Series Paper 10.1cm x 13.6cm. (4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″)

Bottom piece of Designer Series Paper 10.1cm x 6.6cm (4 1/8″ x 2 5/8″)

Front Flap:

Card – 9cm x 23cm (3 1/2″ x 9″) Score at 11 1/2cm (4 1/2″). Fold on score lines.

For Inside of Front Flap: One piece of white card 8.5cm x 10.9cm (3 1/4″ x 4 1/4″)

Piece of Designer Series Paper 2.5cm x 8.5cm (1″ x 3 1/4″)

For outside of Front Flap: Card mat 8.6cm x 11.1cm (3 3/8″ x 4 3/8″)

White card for Front 8.1cm x 10.6cm (3 1/4″ x 4 1/4″)

Piece of Designer Series Paper 8.1cm x 2.5cm (3 1/4″ x 1″)

Decorate the card as you like. You will need an element on the bottom of the base card on the front to be able to tuck the flap in to for it to stand. This can be anything you like to use.

Have fun with it.

WORLD CARDMAKING DAY BLOGHOP!

It’s World Cardmaking Day.  How great is it that there is a date that we celebrate all things cardmaking whether it be creating the cards and the pleasure it brings or in  sharing the joy of giving the cards.

Today to celebrate we have a Blog Hop with lots of Demonstrators from around the world.  The theme today is sharing a corner of your world.

For me,  I live on the East coast of Australia just south of Sydney.  I live about 200 metres (1/4 mile) from the beach. I spend a lot of my time at the beach all year around.  It’s my happy place, my place to escape and leave the worries of the day behind.

This is my local beach.  We have so many beaches up and down the coast though which I do visit too.

So of course since the beach is a big part of my life I had to create a card for that.  I chose to use the Seaside Notions stamp set.

I love different folds too so wanted to make something a little different.  This is a type of Easel card.

Front on.

Side view you can see the fold and the flaps.

Don’t forget to decorate the inside.

See it open.

This was a fun card to make.  To save time I won’t share how to make it today.  Come back and visit me again tomorrow and I will give you the details.  Be sure to PIN one of the images to Pinterest so you know how to head back here.

You can now continue on the hop by heading to the link below where it says Click here.

BUTTERFLY WATERCOLOUR WASH + VIDEO!

Today’s card uses a fun watercolouring technique.  I call it a watercolour wash.  It’s a great way of colouring your images freely without worrying about staying in the lines.  That’s so cool if you are not one for neat, “in the lines” colouring.

I have used the stamp set Positive Thoughts for this card.

You can check out the video below to see some tips in creating it.

Positive Thoughts is such a beautiful stamp set.  I particularly love the sentiments in it.

I hope you give this idea a go. Try it with different stamp sets.

Thanks for visiting me,

Jenny

SUNDAY SUITES – TRIMMING THE TOWN SUITE!

I wanted to look closely at this cute suite today for Sunday Suites.  It is the Trimming the Town Suite.  It is a collection of sweet, whimsical images whether it is from the Coming Home bundle with the cute house shape diecuts or to the the Trimming The  Town Designer Series Paper.

The Trimming the Town Suite Collection includes

* Coming Home Photopolymer Stamp Set
* Home Together Dies
* Trimming the Town Designer Series Paper
* All the Trimmings Embellishments
* All the Trimmings Ribbon Combo Pack

The product colours in this suite are Early Espresso, Misty Moonlight, Old Olive, Pool Party, Poppy Parade, Whisper White.

The Coming Home Bundle is a fun one.  Don’t just think of this for Christmas though.  What about New House Cards, Welcome to the Neighbourhood and how about the cool VW car. How many occasions could you use that for?? This is a great versatile set.

I have seen some great projects recently with those little house dies.  The ones with the star and the heart.  See the chocolate treat holders below.

Something I think is really wonderful is that with any purchase of the Coming Home Stamp Set, Stampin’ Up! will make a donation to charities devoted to adoption, foster care, and infertility.  That is so good.  So do get behind this great cause.  I will add the ordering details below.

Also in the suite is the Trimming the Town Designer Series Paper.

This paper has cozy villages and winter scenes on one side and patterns on the other side.

Check  out  some  of the Stampin’ Up! samples using this suite.

Let’s have a closer look at some of them.

 

The Trimming The Town Suite is now available to order in my store -> HERE.

Don’t forget that by purchasing this stamp set a donation will be made to charities with adoption, foster card and infertility.  So you are helping a great cause.

Happy Sunday,

Jenny

WARM AND TOASTY REINDEER!

Are you loving the Warm and Toasty Stamp set? It is so cute.

I have a sweet card for you today with the Reindeer.

I have to say I was a little nervous colouring this reindeer.   I am not the greatest at it but I was pleased how this turned out in the end. I used the Stampin’ Blends.

The paper is from the ‘Tis the Season Designer Series Paper.  You don’t need much more to the card really. I added a little  loop of Red Sheer Ribbon.

In Australia? Grab the Warm and Toasty stamp set in my store -> HERE

I think you will really enjoy this set.  Even in Australia here where we don’t have snow for Christmas you just can’t help but love these happy characters for your Christmas projects.

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL – SPOTTY BACKGROUND

I wanted to share this card with you today using the Life Is Beautiful stamp set found in the 2020 Holiday Catalogue.  It is a sweet one.

This card was one we created in class a few weeks ago.  I found the idea on Pinterest BUT I didn’t save it so I don’t know the original creator so sorry about that.

I love the idea of using the “dots” in the set as a background.  These dots give a Bokeh effect too which is cool.  That is where there is different tone to the stamps, so  a light and dark effect.

I used Calypso Coral, Bumblebee and Granny Apple Green.  The words are from the Well Written Dies. It’s all layered on to a mat using the Ornate Layers Dies.

You can see the Life Is Beautiful set -> HERE in my store. 

In Australia? You can order there or contact me directly and I will help you out. If ordering online please use the Host Code: TAWWBMRC

Thank You for your order.  I appreciate each and every one.

Happy Stamping,

Jenny
