May 28, 2026May 28, 2026 Jenny Hayward

Day 4 of our series – 5 Minutes, 5 Days, 5 Ways with the Opulent Oasis Bundle.

Have you seen the past videos in this series yet? You can head back to the recent posts if you missed them or would like a refresh.

In Day 4 of these videos let’s see what else you can create with this bundle using just the stamps and dies.

These are the cards I shared in the video.

Hydrangea Hue and Lemon Lime Twist have been a favourite combination recently.

Here is another simple card with these colours and using the Berry Botanicals Vellum Specialty Paper.

The Opulent Oasis Bundle is available in the May-August Catalogue. The Berry Botanicals Vellum Specialty is available as May Product of the Month.

Last Day tomorrow. Be sure to check back in. Let me know what you think of this series too. Would you like to see other Bitesize video series on a bundle or technique?

Happy Crafting,

5 MINUTES, 5 DAYS, 5 WAYS WITH THE OPULENT OASIS BUNDLE – DAY 3

May 27, 2026May 27, 2026 Jenny Hayward

Day 3 of our series – 5 Minutes, 5 Days, 5 Ways with the Opulent Oasis Bundle.

These are small Bitesize videos showing how you can use the Stampin’ Up! Opulent Oasis Bundle. Day 1 looked at using the Impressions Mat with the Dies to get that extra puffiness. Then Day 2 looked at different ways of colouring the embossed/diecut images.

Day 3 I share another way of colouring with the Opulent Oasis Flower. It could be my favourite way. Be sure to check that out. If you don’t have this bundle I’m sure this could easily work with some of your other diecut flowers. Or even an embossed image. Try it out and see.

Here is the Video for Day 3.

Do you want to see more of the card.

The white outlined flower just POPS in Black. Especially against the Strawberry Slush colour. This is easy to create using the White Gel Pen. I embossed the Strawberry Slush card with the Beautiful Pattern Embossing Folder.

I love the effect of the diecut flower but there is lovely stamped images in the set too. See how to create with these in the next 2 videos.

Happy Crafting.

5 MINUTES, 5 DAYS, 5 WAYS WITH THE OPULENT OASIS BUNDLE – DAY 2

May 26, 2026May 28, 2026 Jenny Hayward

Day 2 of our series – 5 Minutes, 5 Days, 5 Ways with the Opulent Oasis Bundle.

The first video I showed using the Impressions Mat. If you missed that head back a post. This video I showed some different ways of colouring the embossed/diecut flowers.

Hope you get to try these cards out. But if you don’t have the Opulent Oasis Bundle see what you have similar.

Try highlighting the flowers and leaves with Ink and a Dauber.

These 2 above used the Berry Botanicals Vellum Specialty Paper.

Or add some extra colour using Inks and Daubers. Do you think this looks like a Frangipanni Flower?

This one uses the Artisan Sketched Garden Designer Series Paper.

See another way of colouring in the next video.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

5 MINUTES, 5 DAYS, 5 WAYS WITH THE OPULENT OASIS BUNDLE – DAY 1

May 25, 2026May 28, 2026 Jenny Hayward

I’m bringing you a new series this week. 5 Minutes, 5 Days, 5 Ways with the Opulent Oasis Bundle. Small bitesize videos to help inspire you when creating with this bundle. But if you don’t have this bundle you might just be able to create these with other stamps/dies you have.

In this video I show you how to use the new Impressions Mat. The mat helps give a little more “puffiness” to the Impressions Dies.

Here is the video for you to follow along.

These are the cards I showed how to make.

Which colour do you like – the Crisp Canteloupe or the Strawberry Slush?

Be sure to check back with the other videos this week as I share more with this Bundle.

Happy Crafting,

ONE SHEET WONDER STYLE WITH THE STAMPIN’ UP! GEARS AND TEXTURES ~

April 13, 2026April 13, 2026 Jenny Hayward

I can finally share these cards with you – and the video. It’s been a busy time over the last few weeks so it has been hard to get time to share them.

These are One Sheet Wonder Style cards. They are so easy to create. Make 4 cards all in one go. Some simple random stamping and cut. Add then add to Card Bases and Card Mats and add diecut pieces and you are done. Oh and add a sentiment too.

These were the cards I created as Swaps for Onstage last month so they were quick to make a lot. I have put together a video to show you how it is done. A written Tutorial will be sent out to my newsletter subscribers tomorrow.

You could use any stamps and dies for this idea – Flowers, Butterflies, Seashells. Use what you have.

Here is the video to follow along.

Follow along. I hope you get to make them.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

DIAGONAL GATEFOLD CARD + A VIDEO

February 26, 2026February 26, 2026 Jenny Hayward

This card might look complicated but it’s really not. It’s called a Diagonal Gatefold Card. You can create it with the card and paper you like. For this one I have used the Painted Illusions Designer Series Paper.

You open it out. This is the inside. I love the angled look.

Here is another one using the same paper pack, but just doing that that can change it up a lot by using different colours.

It really is easy and I can show you. I share the measurements in Metric and Inches for you.

Follow along with the Video -> HERE.

Hope you get to try one yourself.

The Painted Illusions Paper is this month’s Product of the Month.

Happy Crafting,

FLIP IT FUN FOLD CARD + VIDEO

November 8, 2025November 8, 2025 Jenny Hayward

Today’s video is a Flip It card. I don’t know what it’s actual name is but that’s what I call it. I’m going to show you how.

This is the card.

The front panel stands up when you Flip It.

Then when it lays flat.

It is a little larger than a standard card so you may need to make an envelope to fit or give it directly to your special person. You may want to explain how it flips too so they can see the fun of it (and give you a WOW!)

I used the cute Festive Friends Stamps and Dies. You can create this for any occasion whether it is Christmas or Birthday or some other special event.

Here is the video to create your own Or head straight to my Youtube.

Hope you get to make one. As always I will send the writtent tutorial to my Newsletter Subscribers next week. I send out a Tutorial each week. If you would like to receive my Tutorials then you can subscribe to them. The Tab is on the Right Hand Side Bar on my blog.

Happy Crafting,

DISTRESSED SUNFLOWER EMBOSSING FOLDER CARD ~

September 22, 2025September 22, 2025 Jenny Hayward

I have been meaning to show some more cards with the Sunflower Embossing Folder. I shared a number of the cards in my recent video but it might be good to see them close up.

This one is more a distressed looking card.

I embossed with the folder on a piece of the “wood” look pattern from the Nests of Winter Paper pack. You could use any similar print.

Then you can add your colouring. This one I used the Ink Pads and Blending Brushes then assembled it on the card base with a piece of Old Olive card off-set a little. I think curling up the edges of the embossed piece might have given a more distressed look.

I have had so much fun with this Embossing Folder. I hope to get back to you again soon with some more card projects soon.

If you missed it you can see the video of 5+ Ways with the Sunflower Embossing Folder -> HERE.
