TRY THE FAUX WATERCOLOUR TECHNIQUE WITH THE VIDEO~

I came across the Faux Watercolour Technique recently. I was intrigued and had to try it. I thought you might like it too so I put together a video. You can follow along and give it a try.

As you watch you might see it is a bit like the Smooshing Technique. But there are some differences.

Here is the video.

Here is the card I created.

The Thankful Garden Bundle includes Stamps, Dies and Masks and is an Online Exclusives.

If you have missed it you can see it online -> HERE.

I have also used the Soft Waves 3D Embossing Folder which adds a nice, curvy texture. Also, using the Arched Dies for the sentiment adds a different element.

Hope you like it and get to try the technique yourself.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

HIDDEN GEMS – THANK YOU KINDLY KIT!

Each week I feature a “Hidden Gem”. With so many Online Exclusives happening they can sometimes be missed.

This week it is the Thank You Kindly Kit.

The Kit creates 8 cards and has envelopes included. Kit includes one of each item listed below.
– Pre-designed projects
– Step-by-step instructions
– 8 printed envelopes
– Adhesive
– Pre-cut paper with gold foil
– A 9-7/8″ x 6-1/2″ x 2-3/4″ (25.1 x 16.5 x 7 cm) printed box for storage or crafting on the go.

Now they may be a bit plain for you. Why not try sponging ink over the leaves? That would look pretty with these diecut leaves. You could make your own sentiments too if you didn’t want them as Thank You cards. Ooh! The possiblities…

This is newly released this month. Kits make super quick cards when you are in a hurry. You don’t have to thing about the design or cutting the “bits”.

You can see it -> HERE. If you want a kit do let me know.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

WEEK 12 – 12 WEEKS OF CHRISTMAS WITH A SPECIAL TREAT BAG!

We have arrived to our last week for our 12 Weeks of Christmas Series. Our Week 12 project is a quick and easy Treat Bag.

For this one I have used the Green and Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper.

Here’s a close-up of the tag.

A tag was diecut from White card but also from the Graceful Greenery Vellum. I used the Greetings of the Season stamps and dies. Add a stamped leaf from the Golden Greenery stamps and dies and then also diecut leaves. One from Shaded Spruce and the other from Soft Sea Foam card.

It’s nice to dress up some chocolates in a cute bag. All you need is a clear plastic or Cello bag and some pretty paper. I share some tips in how to create them in the video below.

I hope you have enjoyed the projects through our 12 Weeks of Christmas Series and that they have inspired you. Some would work for any occasion so file them away for upcoming ideas.

Happy Christmas Crafting,

Jenny

TRY A Z-FOLD WITH THE SEASON OF GREEN AND GOLD SPECIALTY PAPER!

With just a simple scoring on the front of the card and folding it back you create a Z-Fold Card. Then instead of adding your card mat and paper to the front of a card you can adhere it just to the left hand side panel.

The gorgeous paper is the Season of Green and Gold Specialty Paper. I have used so much of this beautiful paper already. Maybe even on to my second pack … The Paper is available as an Online Exclusives online and can sometimes be missed. You can check my store.

The stamps are the Golden Greenery stamps and dies also available online. I love how these ones work and I think you could use these leaf images for any occasion card. That would work. The sentiments are from the Greetings of the Season Bundle.

This is the paper if you haven’t noticed it. You can see it more -> HERE.

Try this idea to mix up your crafting. It’s an easy variation to try.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

There are 24 pages – 2 each of 12 designs. 11.4cm x 15.2cm. A little mindless colouring. Then you can frame them or trim them down for a card front. No stamping involved.

This would be a great one for crafting on the go. Just pack your colouring pad, pencils and brush and you are off.

Then there is the Layered Landscapes Kit. 4 different scenes with other pieces to give a dimensional look. All great images. 18.1cm x 18.1cm. They come with the frames so you can stand them on the Easel back or hang them on the wall.

CUT AND FLIP FOR WEEK 4 – 12 WEEKS OF CHRISTMAS!

Back with Week 4 for our 12 Weeks of Christmas series.

This week we are looking at the Cut and Flip Method for our Christmas cards. This method can be a great one for making multiple cards at one time too. It’s very quick and easy.

You can just use this idea to make as a single card too.

You just need some gorgeous paper with co-ordinating patterns on each side of the paper. Watch the video below to find out how.

I have used the Season of Green and Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper on this one. And also used the Golden Greenery Stamps and Dies and the Greetings of the Season Stamps and Dies.

At the end of the video I share another version with different papers.

I will send out the measurements in next week’s Newsletter. If you would like the written version you can sign up for my free newsletters. You will see the link in the right hand column on my blog.

This is the card that was made.

Happy Christmas creating,

Jenny
