STAMPIN’ UP! CUTEST CREW ON A BANNER – BUT SHOULD I??

Jenny Hayward

I really struggled with this card.

I had the little puppies coloured for a few weeks. Then to put the card together I couldn’t get it to work where I was happy with it. I probably redid this card 4 times.

Here it is though. Because we can share the good, the bad and the ugly.

I diecut the banner from the Painted Illusions Paper but the background… Do I add a strip of card? The colours weren’t working. I diecut the strip? Still not great. Do I emboss the white card mat. One time the embossing just wouldn’t work with the paper. It seemed too busy for the pattern on the paper. Maybe I was overthinking it all.

So I settled on this. I’m still not sure about it but I think it is the better option. 😁

What are your thoughts? Should I change the colour? Maybe file it in the bin? HAHA! At the end of the day the puppies are cute. 😊

Oh! And if you hadn’t seen the stamps and dies bundle before it’s the Cutest Crew Bundle.

The diecut banner is from the Party Banners Dies. And another one I have had for a while and this was the first time using it … The White card is embossed with the Lovely Stripes Embossing Folder.

DON’T DITCH THOSE HEARTS FROM THE STAMPIN’ UP! CUTEST CREW SET ~

Jenny Hayward

I have just received the Cutest Crew Bundle that will be starting in March. It is very cute. And I discovered something fun when I was using it.

Firstly, the card and I will tell you about it.

I’m not much for colouring but I am trying to work on it. I coloured the cute dogs with Stampin’ Blends. The paper circle is from the Painted Illusions pack.

The Cutest Crew has a row of dogs like this, a row of cats and then 3 birds. It has some cute dies for them all. It will be available as an Online Exclusives starting in March. I think it is going to be popular.

Something I discovered though. When I diecut the red paw print strip those larger “bits” looked like hearts. So I added them to the card. It just adds to the cuteness. Don’t waste those little hearts.

You can see the Cutest Crew Bundle in March. I will play with it more very soon too. So much to play with not enough time. Do you find that?

If you need supplies and you are in Australia head to my store and you can grab your goodies. Head -> HERE. OR contact me directly and I can help you out.

If you would like the Painted Illusions Paper. That is this month’s Product of the Month. You can receive that when your order reaches the qualified amount. In Australia that is $125 and purchase the paper for $9. Check your market for your own amount.

SENDING SMILES WITH THE LOVELY ARRANGEMENTS BUNDLE ~

Jenny Hayward

I like to give cards that are “sending smiles”. I love the expression in this Lovely Arrangements Stamp Set and adding the gorgeous Lovely Blossoms Paper for a card with a lot of heart.

In the Lovely Arrangements Dies there is the large “dotted” background die which adds an extra element. And there is also the small “dot” background for extra texture too.

The flowers I coloured with the Stampin’ Blends and then diecut some leaves to add.

Have you seen the Lovely Arrangements Bundle or the Lovely Blossoms Paper?? It is really gorgeous.

If you would like any of these or any other products and you are in Australia then stop by my store -> HERE and grab these. You won’t be sorry. They will add such and elegance to your projects. OR contact me directly and I can help you.

‘TIS THE SEASON WITH THE STAMPIN’ UP! ORNAMENTAL CHRISTMAS BUNDLE ~

Jenny Hayward

One with the Stampin’ Up! Ornamental Christmas Bundle today.

'Tis the Season with the Stampin' Up! Ornamental Christmas Bundle

Do you add texture on your cards? There are different types of texture here. The embossed background, gold detailed star diecut and some soft satin ribbon. And of course add the bling. Adding the texture adds extra dimension and interest on a card so it is not so flat looking.

If one of your cards is not quite looking right or looking a little flat maybe see how you can add some texture as some type of element. It will make a big difference.

This is the Ornamental Christmas Bundle I have used.

You can see it more -> HERE.

Happy Christmas Creating,

SWEET SUNDAY WITH THE CAKE DAY BUNDLE ~

Jenny Hayward

It’s Sweet Sunday time. And it is literally sweet if this was real.

Try this cake with the layers and drizzling icing. Add some Macarons and meringes and sprinkles. You can even add the candles and sparklers. At least with this version you would be safe from a sugar coma.

This is created with the Cake Day Bundle just released. A die can create a folded cake piece card which is cool. Or add the front piece just to your card. Then add the fun elements.

This is the Cake Day Bundle. This has just been released as Online Exclusives. You can see it more -> HERE.

CLASSY GOLD WITH THE STAMPIN’ UP! ORNAMENTAL CHRISTMAS BUNDLE ~

Jenny Hayward

I have played a lot with the Stampin’ Up! Ornamental Christmas Bundle and the Modern Christmas Specialty Paper. It is so gorgeous.

For this one I added a little more classy gold.

To create this diecut an ornament shape from Gold Foil then position it in the Christmas Words Collage Embossing Folder. You can see the words to get the best place. Then emboss through your Diecut Machine.

Also diecut an ornament from the lovely Modern Christmas paper too. Add a strip of black card and then some diecut gold dots.

If you don’t have this particular bundle you could still get a similar look. You may have another ornament style punch or die and even a different Embossing Folder. Gold adds a lot of class for your Christmas cards.

Happy Crafting.

DISTRESSED SUNFLOWER EMBOSSING FOLDER CARD ~

Jenny Hayward

I have been meaning to show some more cards with the Sunflower Embossing Folder. I shared a number of the cards in my recent video but it might be good to see them close up.

This one is more a distressed looking card.

I embossed with the folder on a piece of the “wood” look pattern from the Nests of Winter Paper pack. You could use any similar print.

Then you can add your colouring. This one I used the Ink Pads and Blending Brushes then assembled it on the card base with a piece of Old Olive card off-set a little. I think curling up the edges of the embossed piece might have given a more distressed look.

I have had so much fun with this Embossing Folder. I hope to get back to you again soon with some more card projects soon.

If you missed it you can see the video of 5+ Ways with the Sunflower Embossing Folder -> HERE.
