PLANTED PARADISE – PLANTS YOU WON’T KILL!!

I don’t have a Green Thumb. I love plants. I admire them BUT I forget to water them and I don’t know all the nutrients they need. I do like this Planted Paradise stamp set though. I can create cards with lovely potted plants and not worry about killing them.

This card was one I made for a class last week. It was a ‘Thoughts of You’ Class. It’s nice to send out Thinking of You cards to let others know you care.

The paper is from the Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper pack.

It’s a simple card. Having the loop of ribbon between the white circle and the Copper Clay Circle. It just adds a little variation. Ribbon is great for added texture too. The white card is embossed with one of the Basics Embossing Folder packs.

If you are local why not come and join us at class sometime. We would love to have you along. Look out for upcoming classes or contact me and I can let you know. Most of my classes are available By Mail option too and you can make them at home in your own time.

Have a great day,

Jenny

SOFTLY SOPHISTICATED MINI TAGS!

Last week I had my Summer Craftastic event. Lots of fun and crafting and chatting.

I will share the projects we made in another post but today I thought I would show you the cute Mini Tag I made for all the guests to go on their gifts they received for coming.

These were so quick and simple to make – especially when I was on a time crunch!

I used the Softly Sophisticated stamp set. I love how the flowers and leaves are separate so you can stamp the flowers in different colours without trying to colour the stamps.

The white tag was cut with one of the smaller sized Perennial Postage Dies. I punched a hole in the top of them and tied through some of the Natural Wavy Trim and tied off with Linen Thread.

Don’t miss the sweet little birds. They are from the Dragonflies and Birds Embellishments available only online. Often they get missed being an Online Exclusive. They add an elegant touch to your projects.

The Softly Sophisticated stamp set is a Sale-A-Bration choice as a Bundle with the Softly Sophisticated Embossing Folder. They are a great addition to your crafting supplies. I think they are so versatile – and lovely.

The Bundle can be chosen with orders over $180 AUD.

But it’s only around for just over 1 week. How time does fly! So I don’t want you missing out if you would like them.

If you are in Australia and “need” these or any other supplies I would love to serve you.

QUICK CHRISTMAS TAG INSPIRATION!

I’m a little late to the party with this post. Life got away before Christmas to share these BUT… I thought I would share them anyway. You could save them or file them away for inspiration for next year. 🙂

These are some fairly quick Christmas Tags you can whip them up for your Christmas Gifts. You may even use some ideas for tags for other occasions.

We created these in my last class for the year. It was fun! Classes are on a little break now but will be back in the New Year.

For these tags we used Sending Cheer, Trucking Along and Cottage Wreaths.

I hope they can inspire you for later creating.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

Do you need a last minute gift idea? Or maybe a special Christmas Table decor? Grab a candle and decorate it for a gorgeous centrepiece.

You can create it and embellish it however you like. For this one it is easy to create. Wrap a strip of Christmas paper around it. This one is the gorgeous Shining Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper and decorated with the Stars at Night bundle. The sentiment from the Merriest Trees set.

We created this in the our last class for the year last week. Along with some Christmas tags. It was a very festive time.

Maybe it will inspire you for your Christmas creating.

Happy Christmas creating,

TRIPTYCH WITH STARS AT NIGHT STAMPS AND DIES!

Have you heard of the Triptych Technique? I have shared a card with this some months back.

A Triptych is a work of art made of 3 panels or pieces. Early known pieces date back to the Middle ages. This technique is a great one in our card project.

This was a card we created with this technique for our Stars at Night Bundle over the weekend. It works well with multiple images or a scene.

On white card stamp over the images. This card uses Boho Blue, Balmy Blue and Smoky Slate. Then cut the white panel in to 3 even pieces. For the class I had the card cut already in to 3 panels. Then place the white panels closely together and stamp.

The sentiment was diecut with the Something Fancy Dies.

We created 2 different cards with the Stars At Night Bundle too.

If you are in Australia and would love to create the cards we made you can grab the Class By Mail. Cost is $25. All pieces are diecut. You would need to substitute with stamps you have or you can order the Stars at Night Bundle in addition.

Let me know very Soon.

Happy Stamping,

Jenny

ABUNDANT BEAUTY SNOWFLAKES WITH SENDING CHEER BUNDLE

This card is using one of the other masks in the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks. While there is the set of masks to build up the Sunflower there is also the snowflake mask, the leaves and the Argyle pattern mask.

For this one I have used the snowflake mask.

The snowflakes were ink blended with Balmy Blue ink and then a touch of Night of Navy ink added on parts of the snowflake.

I used the Sending Cheer Bundle with it. It’s hard to tell but the bow on the gift is heat embossed in Silver Embossing Powder for some shine. I have used the Nested Essentials Dies for the banner.

If you are wondering about the blue strip. That is from the Textured Shimmer Paper pack. It has a subtle shine. It’s a shame you can’t see it.

We made this one for one of the cards in my classes recently. If you are a Wollongong local we would love you to join us. They are lots of fun. Send me a message and I can send you the details for our upcoming classes. If you are not local you can grab the Class Kits by Mail.

This is the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks if you haven’t noticed them yet.

You can find them in my store -> HERE.

I hope you get them and have a play with them. They are so fun.

STAMPIN’ UP! SENDING CHEER BUNDLE!

This one today is another project we made at my Christmas Crafternoon last month.

This card uses the Sending Cheer Bundle. Do you love that little gingerbread man?? It is cute.

The white card is embossed with the Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder. The paper is the retired Celebrate Everything Designer Series Paper. It worked so well with the gingerbread.

We are getting ready for another Christmas Crafternoon in November. So if you are local watch out for that if you are local.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny
