STAMPIN’ UP! TRUCKING ALONG WITH A TRAILER.

Not just a truck (pickup/ute) but you can make a trailer as well. It makes a fun addition using the Trucking Along Bundle.

To do this – Stamp 2 trucks, punch them out. With one snip the back off and cut a little “tab” near the front end of the rear of the truck. If that makes sense. I will do a little video of it shortly and post it to Facebook and Instagram for you to see so be sure you follow along there.

You can build a scene with the other stamps in the set.

The sentiment from Sending Smiles is quite apt for this card I think. It is diecut with the co-ordinating die from the Sending Dies.

This is the fun Trucking Along Stamp set and the Punch. You can use this for many different occasions.

This was one of the cards we created in our class today. So fun!

If you are local we would love to see you there. We always welcome new crafters. My classes are in East Corrimal, Wollongong. NSW If you can’t make them I can send out the Class By Mail.

If you just have to have this Trucking Along Bundle don’t miss out. It’s part of the Online Exclusives and only for a limited time.

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #151 – FLAGGING YOUR RIBBON!

Wednesday’s WOW! #151 – Flagging your Ribbon ends.

Do you like to flag the ends of your ribbon? Flagging is cutting the ends to a ‘V’ Point. Don’t try and cut the points individually. They never turn out even…

Here is a tip for you to “flag” those ends. Fold the sides of one of the ends of the ribbon together in half and make one snip to a point. The longer part – the point is towards the end of the ribbon. It makes them cut so much easier.

Hope this helps you.

Happy Crafting,

EVERLASTING BEAUTY WITH AN EASY BACKGROUND!

This is an easy card when you don’t want to fuss with colouring or creating backgrounds. I shared how to on my Instagram Reel last week if you caught it there.

You can use your Patterned paper. This one uses the Hello Irresistible Paper. It is a really cool effect. The flower from Everlasting Beauty is stamped in black. It comes together quickly.

The white card is embossed with the Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder. The sentiment is from the Sending Smiles Stamp set and cut with the co-ordinating dies. I have used a little Bubble Bath Sheer Ribbon under.

Why not try that idea yourself. Grab some patterned paper and create.

Happy Stamping,

Jenny

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #150 – OUTLINE YOUR DIES.

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #150 – Outline your dies on the card insert.

Firstly – 150 WOW’s! That’s a lot of tips and tricks with your cardmaking that I have shared over the last few years. I hope they have been helpful for you. If you have missed some you can do check the “TAGS” in the side bar on my blog for Wednesday’s WOW! and it will come up with a lot of them.

Thanks for following along with me.

For today’s tip. Do you find when you take the dies off the card sheet you can never get them back right. It’s a bit of a game of Tetris.

So BEFORE you take them off, grab a pen or pencil and trace around the dies. Then you can easily put them back in place and it will show you if any are missing. Sometimes I add a magnetic sheet to my die card so you could trace around your magnetic sheet too if you do that.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

SUNDAY SUITES – LET’S GO FISHING!

Today with Sunday Suites we will have a look at the Let’s Go Fishing Suite.

It’s coming up to Father’s Day next month here in Australia. So perhaps this might work for some Aussie readers for the men in their life. And it’s not just for the fishermen.

The full Let’s Go Fishing Suite Collection.

The Suite includes:

  • GONE FISHING PHOTOPOLYMER STAMP SET
  • GONE FISHING DIES (If you get the dies and stamps as a bundle you save 10%).
  • TWISTED ROPE 3D EMBOSSING FOLDER
  • LET’S GO FISHING 12″ X 12″ (30.5 X 30.5 CM) DESIGNER SERIES PAPER

The Gone Fishing Bundle.

I love how there is even the die for a tackle box. But I have seen that used for lots of other images too.

Here is the Let’s Go Fishing Paper in more detail. There are some prints that you can use for any occasion not just for the fisherman (or fisherwoman). 🙂

The colours in the paper are: Boho Blue, Calypso Coral, Misty Moonlight, Mossy Meadow, Pebbled Path, Pecan Pie, Petal Pink, Very Vanilla, Wild Wheat.

What about this Twisted Rope 3D Embossing Folder. It looks pretty cool. You can see a sample using it further below. But consider using it for other “non-masculine” cards even. What fun!

Now for a sample group. Lots of ideas.

You can see a bit clearer on this card below how you can use the Twisted Roper Embossing Folder. It adds quite a bit of texture. If you rub some ink over with a Blending Brush it highlights some of the “rope”.

The Let’s Go Fishing Suite can be seen more in my store -> HERE.

And you can shop there too if you need some crafting supplies and you are in Australia. If shopping online please use the Host Code: R663PWDW.

Have a great day,

SPOTLIGHTING TECHNIQUE WITH A VIDEO!

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
