For our recent Onstage event in Melbourne I created a Flip Z-Fold Card for my swap. Swapping is great fun to give and receive the cards. It’s always good to see the different ideas others use – and to meet with other Demonstrators too.
I created 3 coloured versions.
The Gorgeous Grape.
The Berry Burst version.
The Highland Heather version.
The Gorgeous Grape and the Highland Heather version uses the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper with the Painted Lavender Dies. The Berry Burst version uses the Delightful Floral Designer Series Paper with the Bough Punch. The sentiment for all 3 is from the Translucent Floral Stamp Set.
So what colour do you like?
I thought I would put together a video to show you how to make one yourself.
Hope you get to make one yourself.

Do you love the Take Your Pick Tool? It’s like a Swiss army knife for crafters. 🙂
Wednesday’s WOW! #160 – Let’s look at just some of the features of the Take Your Pick Tool.
About the Take Your Pick Tool:
It is a Multipurpose Pickup and Precision tool simplifies some of the fiddly crafting tasks.
The Tacky Putty end easily picks up sequins, paper accents, and other small objects; twist to dispense more putty. There is also a Putty Refill that you can replace on the tool when you run out. AND TIP: Don’t sit there fiddling and twisting the end when you are not noticing. Ask me how I know …
The other end has 2 changeable, double-ended tips with paper piercer, mini spatula, small stylus, and large stylus. See I said it was a the Swiss Army Knife.
Here is the Take Your PickTool plus the extra Attachments.
There is the Take Your Pick Die Brush attachment. This will help remove those tiny little diecuts from the dies when diecutting.
There is also the Take Your Pick Crafter Tips. These tips include:
The Hobby Blade for precision cutting.
A Double-Ended Pick Tip for piercing or removing pieces from intricate die cuts.
And a Rotary Perforating Tip for cutting perforated patterns.
These tips fit onto the Take Your Pick Tool to give you even more crafting tools to work with! Simply remove a tip from the tool and insert a different tip for the task you need.
What a versatile Tool! It certainly makes some of those crafting tasks that much easier.
I don’t have a Green Thumb. I love plants. I admire them BUT I forget to water them and I don’t know all the nutrients they need. I do like this Planted Paradise stamp set though. I can create cards with lovely potted plants and not worry about killing them.
This card was one I made for a class last week. It was a ‘Thoughts of You’ Class. It’s nice to send out Thinking of You cards to let others know you care.
The paper is from the Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper pack.
It’s a simple card. Having the loop of ribbon between the white circle and the Copper Clay Circle. It just adds a little variation. Ribbon is great for added texture too. The white card is embossed with one of the Basics Embossing Folder packs.
If you are local why not come and join us at class sometime. We would love to have you along. Look out for upcoming classes or contact me and I can let you know. Most of my classes are available By Mail option too and you can make them at home in your own time.
Have a great day,
Jenny

Today for Sunday Suites let’s look at the gorgeous Flowering Zinnia Suite. I have mentioned it briefly but we just have to look at it closely because there is so much to love.

The Simply Zinnia Bundle (stamps and dies)
The Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder
The Flowering Zinnias 12″x12″ Designer Series Paper
Adhesive- Backed Shiny Sequins (200 sequins in Lemon Lime Twist, Lemon Lolly, Melon Mambo and Pumpkin Pie.

The Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper. The colours found in this paper are Berry Burst, Blackberry Bliss, Flirty Flamingo, Highland Heather, Lemon Lime Twist, Lemon Lolly, Melon Mambo, Mossy Meadow, Old Olive, Petal Pink, Pumpkin Pie, Real Red.
The Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder is a large on at 15.2cm x 15.9cm or 6″ x 6-1/4″. It has beautiful images of Zinnia flowers which would create great backgrounds or try some different techniques.
Here are some pretty samples.
The Adhesive Backed Shiny Sequins – They are shiny and sparkly.
There are 200 adhesive-backed pieces in 4 mm and 5 mm sizes. The colours are Lemon Lime Twist, Lemon Lolly, Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie.
Let’s have a closer look at them. I wasn’t sure about this leafy paper. It has quite bold, heavy leaves. It can create a great background though.
You can see the backround created with the embossing folder. The flower is created with the dies. You can use them alone or diecutting the images.
Some simple prettinest with the stamped and diecut Zinnias and coloured lightly.

Happy Sunday to you. I hope you have a lovely week ahead.
It’s been a big week. For my Demonstrator friends who went to Onstage you know that feeling… But how great to be together and sharing again. I have come away feeling inspired. My heart is full and my head is overflowing with ideas.
I’m just sharing a few picks from our Onstage Melbourne event. There were so many great moments really but there is not enough time for it all. You might have caught some of the news on my Facebook page.
Anyway, let’s get to it.
From the Convention Centre, Melbourne.
On the board for Anniversary Milestone – 15 Years. It was fun to pick out the names. I was recognised for Sales, Recruiting and Leadership too. I will say I was happy about that. It was a hard year.
The new Catalogue. (If you want a catalogue sent out to you do let me know- Australia only).
Do you remember Lovely As a Tree. I still have that actually. There are not many stamp sets I keep but I have kept this one. It was my first set. This one is it’s cousin. Loveliest Tree. So beautiful. Yes it has gone on my preorder. Watch out. 🙂
I wasn’t sure about this suite with the Shopping Trolley and gifts BUT I absolutely love these creations. Just incredible and gorgeous. Maybe it does need to go on my list.
Sara and Dave Presentation. What a laugh. Poor Sara lost it a few times. And Dave had his “cool dude” Tatoo Sleeves on. It was such a fun presentation to end our time.
We had an Onstage + Room with special treats. It was lovely. And it was nice to chat with Sara.
Onstage + Lounge. A little indulgence for Leaders.
With Chocolate Dipped Ice Cream that you could choose your toppings. (I will say super sweet with all that chocolate. But I guess I did get Double Dipped Chocolate).
Another time it was Chocolate and Strawberries.
After the Recognition night it was time to party with the Silent Disco. Not so silent though with the singing BUT that’s ok. It was so fun!
There was a Product Playground to see some new products. I loved the Colour Palette Walls. You had cardstock pieces and could add a Colour Combination to the wall with Glue Dots. I did take photos of all the panels and will have to go through them all to see the combinations.
It was nice to share it all with 4 of my team, JEN’s INKer’s. There were lots of laughs and fun along the way.
Thanks for indulging me in sharing these.
I will share more of swaps shortly. So many beautiful creations and I will share mine too so be sure to stop on by again soon.
Sunday Suites today is a new one. A Little Latte just released this week. Let’s check it out. (Also, check the Suite Share below too to get a little taster with it).
Now just a disclaimer in advance: I don’t drink coffee or like coffee BUT I do have lots of friends who like coffee and I like to meet up with them for “coffee” dates. I usually go the Hot Chocolate. But it’s nice to chat and have a hot drink with them. I thought that this suite would be good for those coffee loving friends and making coffee dates.
Here is the A Little Latte Suite.
The A Little Latte Suite Collection includes:
The Latte Love Bundle (stamps and dies)
A Little Latte Designer Series Paper 12″x12″
Natural Polka Dot Trim 9.1m 10 yards
Adhesive Backed Swirl Dots 120 dots, 5mm wide in Pecan Pie, Petal Pink and White
Here is the Latte Love
I like how it has the 2 different views of the coffee cup and that cool Latte art. There are dies to co-ordinate with some of the stamps and with extra elements too.
Have a closer look at the A Little Latte Designer Series Paper.
The prints on some of the papers would be good for any occasion. The colours in the paper are Calypso Coral, Early Espresso, Lemon Lolly, Lost Lagoon, Pecan Pie, Petal Pink.
So now let’s see some samples of this fun Latte set. These samples are created by Stampin’ Up! Artists.
Do you think it’s cool??

I love doing Fun Folds. I made this one some weeks ago but only now getting it out to you. This is a Concertina Fold Card. Have you made one before?
They are very easy to make once you know the scoring. This is the Concertina card. It’s a great way to use your pretty paper and to show off the both sides of it. I used the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper with it.
Here is the card.
Do you want to make one? The video is below and I have the measurements further below.
A Quick and Easy Concertina Card
CREATE YOUR OWN CONCERTINA CARD
Cut your paper to 14.4cm x 29.8cm 5 1/4″ x 11 3/4″
Score the paper at 4.4cm, 12.1cm, 19.7cm 1 3/4″, 4 3/4″, 7 3/4″
Card Mat: 10.5cm x 14.8cm 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″
Fold your paper on the score lines. It’s that easy. The narrow piece folds back over itself on the paper so you see the reverse side. Watch the video if you are not sure.

Zinnias and Coffee are completely different things right. BUT, they are both available from today as new Online Exclusives products you can get for your crafting.
We will look more in detail at these later but for now, see some of the new products.
Beautiful Zinnias in the Flowering Zinnias Suite even if you are just loving the bright, bold paper. You can cut those flowers out individually. The Simply Zinnias are a bundle with stamps and dies.
ALittle Latte suite. Maybe you know a coffee lover who would love a coffee card. And even juts the paper has great.
My personal favourite. The Sweetly Scripted Stamp Set. I love the font in this set.
Sometimes we forget the Annual Catalogue. There is so much else to create with in the Mini Catalogues. So let’s get back to the Annual Catalogue.
For Sweet Sunday it’s silliness with the Silly Goose Stamp set.
It’s Fist Bump time. And a little reminder that you are not alone. 🙂
So don’t forget to pull out your Annual Catalogue stamps and dies that you have and have a little play.
And if you need any products to create with and you are in Australia then head on over to my store (link in the side bar on my blog) OR Contact me directly.
