Well that sounds exciting doesn’t it?? A Leftovers Card. It can be good to use those little Leftover bits though.
I was making a card for someone on the weekend. It just wasn’t working for them I thought. I put that idea aside and pulled out some “leftover” bits to get a card together for my card stash. (I will get back to the special card later). So, this card came together with mostly “leftovers”.
I had a large flower and the edging and also a leaf from a previous project that I didn’t use. I just diecut some extra leaves and added it to the flower. I added some ink to highlight the flower. These were with the Pretty Florals Dies.
I had a piece of white card with a sentiment stamped already so cut it down to fit. This sentiment is from the Notes and Totes Bundle. I already had the embossed white with the Distressed Tile Embossing Folder so I added strips on each side of the paper.
Here is the card.
So leftovers can be handy sometimes so pull them out and have fun creating with them.
Happy Crafting,
Jenny

I am loving pandas at the moment. They are so cute and clumsy. I remembered the Party Pandas Stamp Set. I sold mine some time ago after it retired. I was sad about that. It is such a cute set.
BUT, I received a new set on Mother’s Day last weekend. I was excited. So I spent Mother’s Day afternoon creating with it. These are the cards I came up with.
On the Left Hand Card, I used the Soft Waves Embossing Folder. The rectangle is diecut with one of the Textured Notes Dies. The Thinking of You is from the With You In Mind Stamp Set.
On the Right Hand Card the paper is from the Mixed Media Florals Pack.
I think I will have a bit of fun creating with these Pandas.
Happy Crafting,
Jenny

I have received so many lovely cards in the mail recently. RAK’s or Random Acts of Kindness cards. I have received them for so many different reasons.
It does warm your heart. (And I did miss out some too in this photo – Oops! Sorry).
Thank You for the love.
Isn’t it nice we can send love in a card.
Why not send a little card love yourself to someone this week. I can tell you it will bring a smile to their face. After all that’s what we do this for isn’t it. And it’s so much nicer than a bill in the mail.
Have a great week,
Jenny

It’s been another busy year of crafting here. Thanks for following me along.
I thought I would take a few minutes and share my favourite projects from the past year. So come on a little journey with me. And click on the heading of the project to take you back to the original post and read more about them. Even catch the video of many of them.
I loved this gorgeous Friendly Hello Paper available for Sale-A-Bration in January. And this is great fold to show both sides of the gorgeous paper. (Must try that again).
This was a great stamp set to create a Slider card. But you can try this with any of your stamps. What about that Sunshine and Rainbows paper. So bright and Happy. 🙂
Let’s face it – Male cards are hard to make aren’t they?? We had a great Masculine Cards Class earlier in the year. The Let’s Set Sail stamps and punch were fun to use.
The Wild and Sweet Stamp set was one of my top picks from the new catalogue in May. I don’t do a lot of colouring but I loved colouring this cute Koala. I shared some tips colouring this image in the video for this card.
The Hues of Happiness was another of my top picks from the catalogue. I think many people also loved this suite. The Tunnel cards I created with this has been very popular.
The most popular event this year with the Winter Crafternoon. It was such a fun time crafting together followed by a Devonshire Tea. Watch out for more events in the new year.
Another very popular Fun Fold from this year was the Diagonal Fold Card with the Christmas Lights Bundle. Lots of people have shared their versions with me which has been so great.
Is there a theme here with Fun Folds that are my favourite projects for the year. I do love a Fun Fold card. This one was the Half Fold Easel Card with the Hippest Hippos Stamp set for Sale-A-Bration.
It was great to be part of a collaboration to share you some fantastic Christmas projects. I kicked the 12 days series off with my project, A candle with the Merriest Moments stamps and dies. You just have to go back to that post and start the 12 Days of Christmas to check out all the projects.
I hope you have enjoyed looking back at these projects. I can’t wait to share more with you in the coming year.
To lots of creating in 2022. Come and join in with me and follow along.
We had our JEN’s INK team get together on the weekend. It was nice to be able to be back together in person. It was a small gathering this time to get us back. That’s ok though. 🙂
I put together some card kits and the crafting challenge was to create a card with the pieces.
This was the card kit. This uses the Celebrate Everything Designer Series Paper (host paper pack).
There was extra white card and some Silver and Gold Foil. I had a number of inkpads, Ribbon, Christmas stamp sets and dies and embossing Folders. That was it!
This was my card. I trimmed down the piece of DSP. The sentiment from the Merriest Moments stamp set was stamped and diecut with the Designer Tags Dies. And I added a diecut snowflake from the Twinkling Lights Dies.
It was a fun exercise but I tell you it was hard.
What would you create with these limited supplies?
Come and be part of my fun JEN’s INK Team. I love welcoming new team members. There is no better time than this month with the extra bonus.

Have a great day and keep on creating. It’s important for your soul.
On the weekend I held my Winter Crafternoon event at a local Tea Room. It was such a lovely day. I thought I would share some of it with you.
We had a large group of excited crafters. The projects were around the Tea Boutique Suite. Very apt for this venue. 🙂
Lots of creative fun.
After crafting it was a relaxing time with chatting over Devonshire Tea. Everyone had an enjoyable time and talks of another Crafternoon for next year is already happening.
Crafting brings people together to chat and connect and talk and share. Isn’t it a wonderful thing. It’s not just ink and paper.
How delectable is this?? All presented so beautifully.
Such a lovely display in the Tea Room at Sugar, Butter Eggs in Woonona. Owned and operated by my lovely friend Harmony and her husband.
Rather than packing the card kits in Cello bags I made up little pouches with the Envelope Punch Board from pages of the retiring Mini Catalogue.
I made up little tags to go with a Chocolate Treat in their Goodie Bags.
I will share more of the projects everyone created in the next post so be sure to stop on by.
And if you are local be sure to head in to Sugar, Butter, Eggs in Woonona for a lovely Devonshire Tea, High Tea or any other delectable you might like. (See it HERE).
Today I wanted to share just some of my favourites creations from the 2021. It was hard to narrow it down.
A special Congratulations card for my son on his engagement. I think this was the highlight of the year when my son – and now daughter-in-law were married!
Another popular one and I know many have followed along with the video and used the template to create these cards. Create 4 cards with 1 piece of 6″x6″ paper.
