SWEET SUNDAY WITH PARTY PANDAS STAMP SET ~

Jenny Hayward

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

2025-2027 IN COLOR COMPARISONS + FREE CHART~

Jenny Hayward

The new In Colors are out now. You might have seen them. If not Welcome to the 2025-2027 In Colors.

The In Colors are quite a mix of tones this year I will say. You have the bright Darling Duckling and Timid Tiger. Also the returning Strawberry Slush. Then the more neutral colours of Cloud Cover and Secret Sea.

What is your favourite?

I have used Secret Sea a bit already. It’s not so blue as Night of Navy and not dark and heavy as Black. It seems to work well with many colours.

Each year I like to do a Comparison with other Stampin’ Up! Colours.

They are all comparing to current colours except for including Mint Macaron.

Would you like to have a PDF version of this yourself? I am gifting you all this so you can refer back to it often.

You can head -> HERE to Download one yourself.

Cloud Cover Update –

The Cloud Cover Ink Pad has had some issues with the colour being stable. Since Stampin’ Up! pride themselves in quality this has been unacceptable despite all the workings around. As a result Stampin’ Up! have decided to remove the Cloud Cover Ink Pad. The colour will still be available in Cardstock, Markers and Ink Refill. If you wish to still have an Ink Pad perhaps get a Mini Ink Spot and use the refill to create your own. I have heard some demonstrators ink up the Secret Sea and stamp it off before stamping to create a very close match.

Happy Crafting,

STAMPIN’ UP! PRETTY FLORALS AND FLORALS IN BLOOM ~

Jenny Hayward

Sometimes you make a card and you are really not sure. You keep looking at it and wonder. There is something not quite right. This was one of those cards. I’m just not sure.

I thought I would show you anyway. It’s the first card I made with the new Pretty Florals Bundle and working with the new 2025 In Colors. Something just wasnt working for me.

I CASED the layout of a card from a recent catalogue by Stampin’ Up! artists. That looked really nice but it just didn’t seem to work with this one. That’s ok though. It happens.

Here we have the card.

The In Colors I used on this one are Secret Sea, Cloud Cover and the Timid Tiger. I also used Peach Pie with it which works well.

I have created more with this bundle. I have shared some already but will share more soon.

This is the Pretty Florals Bundle. It’s a 2-Step Stamp Set you can layer together.

Watch out for more with these.

Happy Crafting,

CREATE A WINDOW FLAP FOLD CARD + A VIDEO!

Jenny Hayward

This week’s video is a Window Flap Fold Card. It gives a little surprise when you start opening the card.

This is the card when it is closed up.

I used the Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper. It has such lovely colours and prints in the pack. The flowers are from the Pretty Florals Bundle. These are new in the 2025 Annual Catalogue just out this week.

When you open the card…

The sentiment is from the Loveliest Tree Stamp Set. For the window you can use any shape but I think circles do work best.

This is the inside.

I’m going to show you how easy it is to make one yourself. So follow along in the video.

You can follow along with the video HERE or on Youtube. I share the measurements in Metric and Imperial.

STAMPIN’ UP! WILDFLOWER BIRTHDAY – ME TO YOU

Jenny Hayward

In my Facebook Group this week I have set a little “Creative Spark” post to perhaps inspire the members creating.

This week it was to use 2 different pieces of patterned paper on their cards. So of course I created too. This was my card.

I used the Wildflower Birthday Specialty Paper. It has gorgeous paper prints as well as Diecut images and pieces ready to use. I love that this can make creating a lot quicker.

I used a sketch to create the card. The square Birthday Cake image was cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies to add some extra detail and layered on a Old Olive Card Mat.

The sentiment is from the Bright Borders Stamp Set and cut with one of the dies from the Mixed Labels Dies. A little flower piece was added that was in the diecut paper pack.

So why not try this yourself. Grab 2 different pieces of patterned paper and create a card. If you need to check out a Card Sketch to work with to help you put the card together.

If you haven’t seen the Wildflower Birthday Specialty Paper before this is the pack.

You can see it more Online -> HERE. You can order there or Contact me directly. I would love to help you get that pretty paper.

Happy Creating

STAMPIN’ UP! FLOWERS OF BEAUTY IS LEAVING!

Jenny Hayward

The Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty with the Stamps and Dies will be leaving. This was another card from our Retiring Class which didn’t end up happening last week. But I can show you.

For this card I CASED a card I made last year with the bundle and changed up the colours.

This one is in Lost Lagoon colour and I used the Everyday Happiness Designer Series Paper. The colours are soft and pretty in this pack.

I love the new Textured Notes Dies. Each Diecut rectangle has a different edge to it which adds just the extra element of interest.

To create the small frame I used the Something Fancy Dies. Which are also retiring. I used 2 frames together on the coloured card to cut the frame.

This is the Pretty in Pink version I made last year.

Which colour do you prefer?

If you want to get these Flowers of Beauty Stamps and Dies you will want to be quick.
