This is a card we made at a workshop last week using Calm Christmas. When I first saw it I thought it would look great embossed.
I CASED this from a card from Splitcoaststampers. The paper is from the Winter Frost DSP Paper Stack. This pad of papers is such great value at $11.95 for 48 sheets. The size is just right to use on a card front or you have a lot to play with to add strips to the card like I have here. You get 24 sheets of 2 double-sided designs. I love the colours used in this pad. So I think I will be making a lot of cards using this colour pallette for Christmas this year!
Anyway, back to the card. The dove was silver embossed which gives it such a nice shine. I added a strip of Island Indigo card that was punched with the Ribbon Border Punch and layered over some silver ribbon. The greeting from this set is silver embossed too. This was punched out with the Scallop Circle Punch and layered over an oval punched from Island Indigo. I added a silver bow to the top of the greeting.
I have some more cards to come with this set so stay tuned.
Thanks for visiting me today. I hope you have a happy week. 🙂

Recently I showed you a number of cards using the Butterfly Collection wheel. With the Blog Hop last week I never got to show you another one I had made. Here it is. I have to say this card didn’t end up how I started but I think it is OK!
I was going for a shabby/vintage look. I think I realised when I was making this that I just don’t do vintage all that well. I used some of the gorgeous Venetian Romance DSP. This is just beautiful paper. This was layered on to a Pistachio Pudding card base. Before adding the paper I adhered some Pistachio Pudding Ruffled ribbon under the Lace and wrapped it around the paper. I cut a Labels framelit from Pumpkin Pie and then embossed it with the stripes Embossing Folder. The Butterfly wheel was rolled over some Very Vanilla Card and then cut with the Butterfly Bigz Die. I layered a butterfly punched with the Elegant Butterfly punch and added a Clear button and a Whisper White twine bow. The greeting flag was stamped from the Itty Bitty Banners stamp set and cut with the Bitty Banners Die. The end result was Ok. Not sure if it is vintage enough though. I love the softness of Pistachio Pudding. I think it is my new favourite colour.
I hope you have enjoyed these cards with the Butterfly Collection Wheel. If you missed the other cards I have made with this wheel, then head back a couple of posts to catch them.

Today is the launch of the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalogue and what better way to showcase the fantastic new products now available is going on a Blog Hop. Come and join me in a little cyber hopping to some see some wonderful creations from my ESAD friends. Firstly,
What is ESAD?
ESAD – stands for “Extra Special Australasian Demonstrators” and is an on-line group just for Australian and New Zealand Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators.
We love what we do & love to share with our customers, friends, and wonderful blog visitors. We also share what we love in our ESAD Demonstrator community, through swaps, challenges, sharing knowledge, ideas & friendship, and we’re always there to help and support each other.
So if you are a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator located in Australia or New Zealand, then please feel free to leave me a comment with your Email address and I’ll contact you with information on how to join our wonderful group.
So, let’s begin!
You may have just come from Angie’s blog or you might be starting here. Either way, enjoy your travels – and I hope you are inspired. Don’t forget to leave a comment at the end to say you have visited.
Today I want to show you one of the new stamp sets ‘Wishing You’. This is on Page 23 of the Holiday Catalogue.
When you are looking for inspiration to create your projects you can spend hours trawling the internet (pinterest perhaps???!!!!!!). Don’t forget the Catalogues for ideas. They have some fantastic simple projects for you to Copy. For this one I have CASED from page 9 of the Holiday Catalogue. I have used the ‘Season of Style’ Designer Series Paper (page 23) and the lovely Cherry Cobbler Stitched Edged Grosgrain Ribbon (page 22). The little parcels I coloured with Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive markers. Being a clear- mount set I could easily see where to place them. Maybe I should have got the Stamp-A-ma-jig out BUT I was lazy!!
This next card was inspired by a card on Splitcoaststampers. (Another great source of inspiraton!).
For this one I have used the ‘Season of Style’ Designer Series Paper again. I have stamped the gifts and the greeting on Whisper White card and layered this on Silver Glimmer Paper for some sparkle. You have to have that, don’t you! I added a bow again using the Cherry Cobbler Grosgrain ribbon. This one is very quick to make. As long as it doesn’t take several attempts at making a half-decent bow. How do I know that? I think it took me as long to make the bow as it did to make the card.
Now the great thing with this set is it is very versatile. I like to show how you can use your Christmas sets for other occasions. You can pull this set out for Birthdays throughout the year.
This card was inspired by a card on Page 3 of the Annual Catalogue. For this I have used the ‘I Am Me’ Designer Series Paper. The gifts were coloured with Pear Pizzazz and Tangerine Tango Markers. The piece was layered under a Tangerine Tango frame cut with the Squares Collection Framelits. The greeting is from ‘Remembering your Birthday’. The card was finished off with a clip from the Essentials Hardware (page 170).
Now you can head off to the next blog on your journey. Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you will visit me again soon. Now you can see what fabulous creations Jenny Humphreys has made for you.
See you next time,
Jenny

Have you kissed lately??? Your stamps – what else would I be talking about!!! Here is a recent ‘Kissed’ card I made using the’ Butterfly Collection’ wheel.
I have used Melon Mambo and Pumpkin Pie. The other stamp sets I have used are ‘Gorgeous Grunge’ and ‘Oh Goodie’ which is a sneak peak at a stamp set in the upcoming Holiday Catalogue.
This card was inspired by a project in last month’s Demonstrator magazine. I really liked the effect so I thought I would give it a go, and I thought I would share with you how to do it too. So, let’s get kissing!!!
1. Firstly, take an Embossing Folder with a small print on it. I have used the Square Lattice folder. Run a piece of scrap Whisper White card through it.
2. Ink up your wheel and run your wheel over the card. Alternatively, ink a solid image stamp and stamp on the embossed card. This is taking off some of the ink on your wheel or stamp. OK now you are thinking, Why can’t you wheel or stamp directly on to the Embossing Folder. You can but it doesn’t give you such a defined impression. Try it and see. (I did!!). It really pays to do the extra step.
3. Run your wheel over a second piece of Whisper White card that you are using for your finished card. You will see the embossed print on your stamped image.
4. For the finished card above, I inked up the wheel in Pumpkin Pie and repeated the steps. That is I ran it over the scrap Whisper White. You can use the same piece you already used it doesn’t matter as you are just wanting to take off some of the ink. Then wheeled it over another strip of Whisper White card. I cut the middle row of butterflies out and adhered them over the Melon Mambo piece I had previously inked. (As in Step 3).
For the card I finished it off with some black Taffeta ribbon.
I hope you like this technique. Now go and get kissing your stamps – and Embossing Folders.
Have a great weekend,
Jenny
Last week I had a play with the new wheel ‘Butterfly Collection’. I haven’t used wheels a lot so it was fun to play around. The great thing is that this wheel co-ordinates with a number of stamp sets already and the butterfly punches. Who doesn’t love butterflies?? On these cards I have used the current In colors of Crisp Canteloupe, Pistachio Pudding and Baked Brown Sugar.
This one was inspired by a card on Pinterest by Heather Owens. I changed the colours using the current In Colors. I have also used ‘Papillion Potpourri’ and ‘Remembering your Birthday’.
On this one I used the woodgrain Embossing Folder on the Whisper White card. The greeting is from Itty Bitty Banners. I added a flower made from the Paper clay and coloured it with the Aquapainter and Crisp Canteloupe inkpad. I adhered the flower using the multi-purpose glue (Tombow). I find that the most effective adhesive. Don’t you love the pretty ruffled ribbon. It is so soft – and stretchy! I love how the Itty Butterfly punch fits nicely with this wheel.
This one was the Make and Take we did at the workshop on the weekend. Many of them used the Woodgrain Embossing Folder on the Whisper White which looked really good. I have used the ‘Beautiful Butterflies’ sizzlits. It’s so nice that everything works together.
I have another card to show you using the wheel and a tutorial of how to create it. I will show you that next time so make sure you stop by.
Thanks for visiting today. Why not drop me a comment and tell me where you are from. I would love to hear about you.
Jenny
This card was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest. This is using Mosaic Madness, Papillion Potpourri and the greeting is from Remembering your Birthday. The funny thing is I would never have thought to use Summer Starfruit and Marina Mist together and when I have just gone back to the original photo now I see she didn’t use those colours. I think she used Coastal Cabana and Pistachio Pudding. (OK, it was a small picture and I was going by memory!) I quite like this colour combination I used though. I will store that away for future reference!!
Have yourself a great weekend. The weather is turning out really nice again here. I think I can handle this ‘Winter’ weather we are having at the moment as long as the wind stays away.
Stop by again soon,
