I shared a card just last post with the Layers of Beauty Bundle. That gorgeous bundle is so popular right now.
After a request I have put together a video in creating the card and shared some tips in using the masks particularly. They are fun to use but there might be some little points to look out for when using them.
This is the card.
You can follow along with the video here or it is now on Youtube.
Hope you find them helpful.
Happy Crafting,
Jenny

I love Fun Folds. I have a cool Fun Fold card for you today AND a video to help you create it.
It’s a Front Panel Gatefold Card.
You have the Front of the card. Just like any regular looking card really. I have used the Stippled Roses Stamp Set for this one.
But lift the front and you have a Gatefold. It gives a little extra WOW! to the card. For this one I have used the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper on the side panels.
Then open the 2 flaps and you have the inside. With a little stamping and a strip of the paper it adds to the specialness.
What do you think?
You can follow along with the Video to make your own.
The measurements are included in the video. Stop or pause or rewind. If you prefer the written version I’m sending that out in my newsletter next week.

The new catalogue began this week. Woo Hoo! Have you checked it out yet?
This week I was part of the Crafty Collaborations Beginners Stamping series. It’s a large number of videos with tips for the Beginner crafter. They may even help the “well-seasoned” stamper too.
You can follow along with these videos -> HERE. Take your time and work through them. You can come back to them anytime too. AND it’s free!
It will take you through the basics of the types of stamps, inks, adhesives. Also, Cutting and scoring your cards (which I created a video for). That’s always tricky! Then goes through some simple techniques to try.
Head over and check in on it.
As part of this series there is also a number of videos with some more Simple designs. Simple stamping can be a challenge even for the more advanced stamper.
Continue on with that video series and you will find them.
I have added my video here for you to check out. This one is Cutting and Scoring your card in Metric.
I have added the Imperial Cutting and Scoring too as I know many of my followers here are from the US.
This is the project I created for my Simple stamping card.
I will add my video below here on the Simple Stamping project you can create. This simple card is above. For the Stepped Up version check below.
I created a Stepped Up version. Adding a little more texture and elements. Of course you could go way more avid but a few additions can really add to your project already.
I have used the Spotlight on Nature Stamp set.
You can see the added texture and elements here. I think a little glitter should be added to the butterfly.
So with a few steps you can take your card to the next level.
This Spotlight on Nature stamp set is really gorgeous for any level of crafter.
It does come as a Bundle too with some gorgeous shape dies great layering.
I have shared this card recently. Perhaps you caught it? It’s a Half Front Card with the Stippled Roses Stamp Set.
I shared it on Facebook recently and had requests to make a video to share the ‘How to’.
So would you like to create one yourself? Follow along with the video below. Or head straight to my Youtube channel and watch it.
The Stippled Roses Bundle is so gorgeous to use. It’s available now in the current Mini Catalogue.

With the new Mini Catalogue released last week I was part of the Crafty Collaborations Mini Catalogue Launch Party. Demonstrators from around the world shared project videos of some of the great new products.
It was so great to be a part of it. You can follow along now too and maybe be inspired by the projects. I will tell you how to find it but firstly let me show you the project I created.
I worked with the Trusty Tools Bundle creating a Split Front Card.
Perhaps you have made this style before?
How cool is the Trusty Tools though. I love the Trusty Toolbox paper. That is one of the free choices for Sale-A-Bration. Some of the dies will diecut some of the tools.
In the Mini Catalogue Launch there are 28 project videos. Also though there are fun games to join in on. You can choose what you like to do and can come back to it later at any time.

I’m back with another video for you. This one is using the Spotlighting Technique. Have you tried it?
The Spotlighting Technique is highlighting a part of an image with colour. The part highlighted can be created by diecutting any shape eg circle or square. The section can be raised up or sunk below the card mat.
You can see the video below to see how it is done. I share another version too in the video so stay tuned.
This is the card I created using the Irresistible Blooms. The sentiment is from the Nature’s Prints Stamp set and diecut with the Natural Prints dies.
It is a standard size card base. I have cut the card sheet down vertically for a different look.
The exact measurements I will send out in my newsletter this week. By the way, Are you on my newsletter?? You can head to the side bar, there is a tab there.
I will let you go and watch the video now. I hope you get to make one.
