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.
Happy Crafting,
Jenny

I’m sad the Tea Boutique Suite is leaving us. We have had lots of fun with them especially at our Winter Crafternoon event last year.

Have you made a Zig Zag Fold Card before? They are so easy and fun. The great thing I love about this fold too is that you get to see both sides of the gorgeous paper. Who really wants to hide one side away!
Here is the card.
Don’t forget the inside when you make one.
I have used the Hues of Happiness Paper. So pretty! And with the Happiness Abounds Bundle.

Today is a great Fold card with a little interesting window. It makes such a fun addition. And I have a video to share some tips when you create it.
I have used the Irresistible Blooms Bundle and Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper.
This is the card.
Don’t you just love that “dotty” strip. It’s so cool!
And for the inside of the card.
Just a tip with this paper. The Paper colours include Pretty Peacock and Lost Lagoon. These were current as In Colors a few years back.
Why have they included these now???
Well they are coming back. Yes! They will be part of the Regular Colour Collections starting in the new catalogue in May.
Watch out! It looks like a little Colour Refresh is happening. More on that in the coming weeks. It will be all revealed on the 29th March.
I share a tip in this video. If you don’t have the those colours as yet. I found using the Evening Evergreen and stamping off one time. It matched so close. But Evening Evergreen will be going at the end of this current catalogue. It’s a good short term fix for now.
So watch the video below. (If you are catching this in an email post and the video doesn’t show, head to my blog directly Or head to my Youtube Channel (HERE) and view the video there.
If you haven’t subscribed already to my Youtube Channel I would love for you to. You will keep up with all those crafty videos that you can go back to anytime. Thanks for that.

I have had more fun playing with the Around the Bend Bundle. I’m loving these stamps and dies.
Today’s project comes with a video with 9+ Tips in using this bundle when putting together this card.
The paper is the gorgeous Dainty Flowers Designer Series Paper available for Sale-A-Bration. I love the pretty prints in this paper and I think it works so well.
Here is the card.
You can watch the video below especially look out for the 9+ Tips in using the dies and lining them up with the Stamps. I think you will find that helpful in putting the card together.
You can find the Around the Bend Bundle in my store -> HERE. And when you purchase them you could choose the Dainty Flowers Paper as your Sale-A-Bration pick. Or check the other choices out. There are some great ones and now there is some Catalogue products listed.

It’s all happening now with the 2023 Mini Catalogue going Live. Have you checked it out yet??
I mentioned I was involved with the Global Catalogue Launch Party with Demonstrators from around the world. It’s such an exciting time to share with you.
Let me show you the the card I made.
For my project I shared a card with the Around the Bend Bundle and the gorgeous Fancy Flora Designer Series Paper.
I love the detail in these curvy dies. It creates such a cool edge. And there are some other great curvy dies as well.
Here is the inside of the card. Don’t forget that.
Want to catch the YouTube video to follow along? Check it out below.
If you haven’t joined in with the Global Launch Party you can still catch the replays.
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.
You have probably seen the Fitting Florets Suite around now. It is all so gorgeous. I had to play with it. And I pulled out an old fold that I haven’t done in a while – A Panel Fold Card.
Here it is for you.
And it folds flat for you to post.
You can catch how to create one on the video below. (If you are receiving this blog update by email and the video is not showing, head to the blog post and view it there).
The Fitting Florets Suite will be available to order in November. The Framed Florets Bundle (Stamps and Dies) will be carried over in to the January-June Mini Catalogue but the gorgeous Fitting Florets paper and the Gold Swirl Gems won’t be so you will want to grab that early. I will tell you more about this soon.
But … You could get this earlier. As Demonstrators we can order it now. And if you have considered joining Stampin’ Up! what better way than joining now (also with the extra bonus you get this month) AND you can order it now. Because we can’t wait for these things right. 🙂
