With just a simple scoring on the front of the card and folding it back you create a Z-Fold Card. Then instead of adding your card mat and paper to the front of a card you can adhere it just to the left hand side panel.
The gorgeous paper is the Season of Green and Gold Specialty Paper. I have used so much of this beautiful paper already. Maybe even on to my second pack … The Paper is available as an Online Exclusives online and can sometimes be missed. You can check my store.
The stamps are the Golden Greenery stamps and dies also available online. I love how these ones work and I think you could use these leaf images for any occasion card. That would work. The sentiments are from the Greetings of the Season Bundle.
This is the paper if you haven’t noticed it. You can see it more -> HERE.
Try this idea to mix up your crafting. It’s an easy variation to try.
Happy Crafting,
Jenny

We’ve been enjoying the Holiday Mini Catalogue but it’s now time to say Good-Bye to many of them. And some of the Online Exclusives we have had are leaving.
Many of them are reduced – incredibly with some of them.
These are ONLY WHILE SUPPLIES LAST.
These are just a taster.

Make quick Christmas cards with the Joyful Sayings Ephemera Pack. Reduced to $15.07 from $16.75
Sweet Sunday with the Humble Home Bundle. The Bundle comes with the Stamp Set and Punch. This is a new addition to my collection. Why did I wait so long… Do you have it yourself?
This was one of the cards we created for Our Christmas Card Buffet on Friday.
I have used the retired paper Shining Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper. I thought the Candy Canes were so cute and suited the little house.
I stamped and coloured the house as I had in the recent video with this set. You can head back a post to see the video there. It was stamped on Crumb Cake card but it seems more yellow in the photo. The scallops were coloured in Real Red Stampin’ Blends, the window sills in Pecan Pie and the door in the Dark Granny Apple Green.
The white card piece with the sentiment was diecut with one of the rectangular dies from the Everyday Details Dies.
It’s a simple card but it’s cute. And when you have a Buffet of cards you want to keep them fairly simple to be able to make a lot and move on to the next course.
This is the cute Humble Home Stamps and Punch set.
Today’s project is a Window card and it’s using the cute Humble Home Stamps and Punch. I have just recently bought this bundle so it was fun to play with.
This is the card I created. I have used the ‘A Little Bit Festive’ Specialty Designer Series Paper.
This is the inside of the card.
Don’t forget the Mini Tag you can create with the Circle cut out.

We had our JEN’s INK Team Christmas Get Together last weekend. It was a great time to celebrate my lovely team, to chat, to dwell on the new Mini Catalogue coming and of course to create. It was a Mystery Card.
I gave everyone an envelope with some pieces from the ‘A Little Bit Festive Specialty Paper Pack’. This pack has 3 sheets of 12×12 paper, a 12×12 frame/image sheet. and some sheets with different elements in them.
The envelope included a different type of wreath and other pieces. They could also use co-ordinating card I had with any other stamps or embellishements. As well as the Joyful Sayings Ephemera Pack. They didn’t have to use all their pieces.
These are the cards created. Aren’t they great??
And I was so busy chatting and sharing with them that I forgot to take a photo of them all having fun. At least you get to see all their lovely creations that I snapped a photo of just before they left.
These ladies are so great. I appreciate each one of them and love that we can create together. If you want to know more about my JEN’s INK team and to join in other activities next year do ask me. You can also click on the page on my blog titled JOIN NOW.
Stampin’ Up! is not just selling the products, it’s having fun together crafting with people that “get it”. I’m sure there may not be many in your household or among your friends that “get” what you do. 😉 And it’s great to glean over the catalogue with others. Always an inspiration too to share with others. Do come and join in the fun.
Have a great day,
Jenny
Just some of my great JEN’s INKer’s from Onstage this year.
It’s Week 8 for 12 Weeks of Christmas with an easy Christmas Gift Bag to make. This cute bag could be used for any occasion.
I have used the Season of Green and Gold Specialty Paper on this bag. I created some other version and I will share them later.
You can follow along with the video here. If it isn’t shown then head straight to my Youtube Channel and you can find it.
It’s hard to see but I have some extra texture to the Blackberry Bliss card on the tag. I have used the Distressed Tile Embossing Folder. This is a close up of the tag.
I send out a written tutorial to all my newsletter subscribers with the full measurements and details. Are you a subscriber yet? I send out a free tutorial each week. You can find the link to join my subscriber list in the tab on the right hand column on my blog.
Thanks for following along.
Happy Creating,

The Painted Trees Embossing Folder adds such detailed texture to your projects. The embossed card created with this folder can be used as a background look or as a statement in itself on a card front. It is beautiful.
What about some projects with this. These are created by Stampin’ Up! artists.
Just a tip with using the Embossing Folder. When you have embossed your card. Try daubering on some ink over the raised trees to give the trees some coloured definition.
The “square” shaped diecuts can be layered together to add directly to the front of the card.
Or layer the other elongated shaped diecuts.
These little Gift card pockets are dressed up with the diecut bows.
What do you think of the Season of Elegance Suite? So much to love.
