STAMPIN’ UP! TWO-TONE SUNFLOWERS ~

Jenny Hayward

I have been playing a lot with the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder and experimenting with the Two-Tone cardstock. So I put them together.

Here are 2 cards that I created. Some nice sunshine-y yellow to brighten your day.

For this one below I cut a piece of the Daffodil Delight Two-Tone Cardstock just slightly smaller than the front of the card. Then I cut the piece in half and flipped one half. I put the pieces together in the Embossing Folder and embossed them. I lightly sanded the embossed cardstock to reveal the white. I adhered them to the front of a white Card Base and added a simple sentiment.

We made this card recently in my local class playing with the Two-Tone Cardstock. If you are a Wollongong local I would love you to join in our classes each month. Contact me to find out more about them.

On this one below I cut a piece of the Two-Tone Daffodil Delight and embossed that. I lightly sanded the piece and added it to a white card Base. The sentiment heat embossed in white on black card and the Granny Apple Green leaf gives a ‘POP’ to the card.

You could do this in many other colours too. Hope you get to try it out.

Happy Crafting,

A “NOEL” CHRISTMAS WITH PEACEFUL GARDEN PAPER!

Jenny Hayward

My first Christmas card for the season. I don’t know about you but I’m not quite feeling the festive spirit yet. It still seems so early. But then we need to get on to them soon to get our cards made ready.

New products always help to freshen up the cards. This is one with some great new products from the 2025 Holiday Catalogue.

I have created this with the Peaceful Garden Designer Series Paper. I wanted to use the dove pattern but to use a whole piece meant cutting in to some of the doves. So I cut a section and added that to the centre and have 2 strips of another pattern on either side.

The Card Base is Pecan Pie and I used Pool Party for the card mat and the “Noel”.

For the “Noel” I embossed and diecut it with the Christmas Words Collage Hybrid Embossing Folder. I like this folder and die set. I just used a small piece of card just larger than the word rather than use a large piece.

This is the Peaceful Garden Designer Series Paper.

SUNFLOWERS EMBOSSING FOLDER WITH THE NESTS OF WINTER PAPER!

Jenny Hayward

More with the Sunflowers Embossing Folder.

This time embossing on some patterned paper. You can try any but I have used the Nests of Winter Paper with a wood-grain look.

It gives a rustic look with this paper. I was wondering now if I should have distressed the edges of the paper to give it a more rustic look??

The Sunflowers were coloured with the Ink Pads and Daubers and the sentiment from the Bright Borders Stamp Set. Which I see is on the Last Chance lists … I diecut this with one of the Mixed Labels Dies. Another one on the list … Be quick if you want to grab these ones.

Have you got the Sunflowers Embossing Folder yet?? It is so versatile and I have to say really fun to work with.

JUST A CIRCLE WITH THE STAMPIN’ UP! EMBOSSING FOLDER ~

Jenny Hayward

The details in the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder is amazing! I have had a lot of fun with this folder lately. And I can’t wait to show you more with what I have created with it. But today I am sharing this one with you.

When you don’t feel like colouring the whole embossed piece you can diecut a circle or other shape and colour that small area. And don’t forget to colour with the blue around the flowers. It helps them POP more.

I embossed a piece of white card with the Sunflower Embossing Folder then I diecut a circle in another piece of white card. Then embossed the card. It is better to diecut the shape first. If you do that after you have embossed the card it can flatten the detail.

I used the Daubers and inks to colour this one. And used the Balmy Blue Light Stampin’ Blend for the surrounds.

I heat embossed the sentiment on black card. This helps it POP more too. The sentiment is from the Simply Said Stamp Set.

Have you tried the Sunflower Embossing Folder? It is a large one but there are lots of different Sunflower shapes over it and you can pick the area you like depending on your project.

The Embossing Folder measures 6″ x 8-1/2″ (15.2 x 21.6 cm). I said it was a large one!

You can see it more -> HERE.

Hope you get to create with it. I will bring you more with it soon.

We will be creating with this folder in class this week. If you are a Wollongong local I would love you to join in my classes. They are lots of fun and I can share lots of tips and and techniques that are sometimes a little tricky to share through a blog post.

PUZZLE SLIDER FUN FOLD CARD + VIDEO!

Jenny Hayward

Have you seen the Puzzle Slider Fun Fold Cards? I saw them recently and just had to create one myself. The one I saw was created by Sue Stampfield.

I couldn’t find one in Metric measurements so I worked in inches. I adjusted those measurements and then worked out the Metric for my lovely crafters who prefer centimetres.

I put together a video for you. I used the Florals in Blooms Paper but you can use whatever you have. It’s a cool card. Even if you don’t like to do puzzles I think you will like to create one of these.

Here is the Video for you. The card is shown further below.

This is the card I had created earlier.

Don’t forget the inside.

Follow along with the video.

The Written Tutorial will be sent out for my Newsletter Subscribers next week. Are you a subscriber? I send out a project Tutorial each week. You can head to the Side Bar on my blog and click on the tab.

Happy Creating a Puzzle Slider Card,

PRETTY FLORALS WITH THE PERENNIAL LAVENDER PAPER ~

Jenny Hayward

I made this card some months ago but forgot to show you. So here you are in all it’s glory. Well maybe not quite…

I paired the Pretty Florals stamps and dies with the Perennial Lavender Paper. They work well together I think.

To give it some variation rather than just having a piece of the paper as a mat I cut 2 different width strips and layered it on the card mat. It also came about because I had a piece of the paper not quite wide enough so cut it to give that variation.

I have show quite a few cards with the Pretty Florals Bundle already. If you missed them do a search for the Tag of Pretty Florals and they should come up. Or do a little scrolling. 🙂

It is good that the Perennial Lavender Paper is still around. We get to use those gorgeous colours for a little longer.

The Sentiment is from the Loveliest Tree Stamp Set.
