FAUX TEARING TECHNIQUE FUN!

Our last class was creating with the Faux Tearing Technique. It was a lot of fun looking back at this older technique. Have you tried it?

This was one of the cards we made. This one using the Irresistible Blooms Stamps and Dies.

It is very easy technique to do. All you need is Blending Brushes and ink and use any stamps you have. You can use scrap paper for the masks or use the Masking Paper or large Sticky Note Paper.

Tear your paper so it is at least as wide as your white card. Position that over your card at the top and bottom leaving a gap on the card in the centre section.

Blend over some ink on the white card building up your colour. Hold your paper firmly so it doesn’t move. I then moved the paper away from the inked edge just slightly and added some more ink for a light edge. Then return your masks to the original position and stamp over the images having some go off the edge of the masked area.

Finish your card as you like.

Are you game to try it?

Happy crafting,

Jenny

CHRISTMAS IN JULY WITH STAMPIN’ UP! FROSTED FOREST!

This card is one of the cards we made at our Christmas in July event last weekend. This one uses the Frosted Forest Bundle.

While this bundle does have the masks this card just uses the stamps and dies.

Firstly stamping 3 trees on the white card mat. Basic Beige has a subtle green tinge to it making it work really well with the colour tones on this card. Just a tip: Stamp the centre tree first and then stamp the other 2 either side. That helps them to be more centred.

The larger tree was stamped on Old Olive card in Old Olive ink and then diecut. The sentiment is from the Greetings of the Season stamp set and diecut with one of the dies from the die set.

Adding a little strip of patterned paper adds an extra element to a very simple card. The paper is from the Flowering Zinnias Paper pack.

This is the Greetings of the Season Bundle. There are a variety of greetings for the festive sesason you can put together or use just on there own. They are in 2 different font styles. I particularly like the die shapes. You can use them for any occasion. And they have a stitched edge!! Don’t we like that.

This one is the Golden Greenery Bundle. With traditional images of greenery and bells and berries. There are a number of co-ordinating dies for these too.

These are available as Online Exclusives. They can be ordered online or ordered directly in my store. HERE

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

CHRISTMAS IN JULY GOODIE BAGS~

Last weekend was my Christmas in July event. Lots of festive fun and crafting.

I will share the projects over the time but in this post I thought I would share the Goodie Bags everyone received.

They were just simple white Lunch Sack/Paper type bags. They had some of the Graceful Greenery Vellum and Berries and Pearls Adhesives. Along with some Christmas goodies. And chocolate. Must have chocolate. 🙂

For the bags I diecut the paper using the Perennial Postage Dies. It was a wide enough strip that was to have the bottom edge over the paper and the rest of the strip went through the inside of the die to lie on top. If that makes sense. Just so the bottom edge would be cut. The paper was retired paper from last year.

The label was diecut from the Greetings of the Seaon dies and the words were from the stamp set. To finish I diecut a green leaf spray with the Golden Greenery Dies and a Pearl to finish.

Stop back again and I will share the projects.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

A SIMPLE LOVELIEST TREE BIRTHDAY CARD!

I have been playing with the Loveliest Tree Bundle recently. This is one of the cards we made at our Loveliest Tree class last month.

I went simple on this card. Embossing the white card with the Metal Place Embossing Folder gives it added texture.

The paper is from the Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper.

This Loveliest Tree stamp set is very similar to the Lovely as a Tree Stamp set from years back. But this one has dies! Which is so good.

This is the Loveliest Tree Bundle.

You can see more of it in my store -> HERE.

You can order at the above link (if you are in Australia). Please use the Host Code: 7M7V93KG

Or you can contact me directly and I can help you out.

PEACH PIE AND SPARKLE WITH SPOTLIGHT ON NATURE!

Have you noticed the In Color Glimmer Paper. It adds a little sparkle to your projects. It’s so pretty.

This card has just a little strip of the Peach Pie Glimmer Paper. We created the card for my Catalogue Launch just recently. I was inspired to create this card from one similar I saw on Pinterest but can’t remember who it was now.

The card is with the lovely Spotlight On Nature Stamp Set and uses the Spotlight On Nature Dies also. The paper is from the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper.

This is the 2024-2026 In Color Glimmer Paper.

You receive one 12″x12″ sheet of each colour. It is so sparkly and so pretty. A little bit goes a long way.

It is available now in the new Annual Catalogue. You can see it in my store now -> HERE if you would like some of the sparkly prettiness.

Or you can contact me directly and I can help you.

And here is the Spotlight on Nature Stamp Set and the Dies. These are so versatile.

Grab some of these for your crafting now.

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
