Do you find your dies wriggle around and slip when you cut them?
Here’s a tip. Add a little Washi Tape to them. Or you could add a little tape. If you use tape you may want to dab it on your clothes or something to take off some of the sticky.
Check it out below.
Do you do this already? It’s a good idea.
Hope it helps you out if you didn’t know.
Happy Crafting,
Jenny

Receive the card kits for the 3 cards. You will need the Eastern Beauty Stamp set or substitute with an alternative particularly floral stamps. You can purchase this separately directly from me if needed.
Sunday Suites today with the Bright and Beautiful Suite.
With lots of celebrations this suite provides lots of festive designs and images to create with. The colours in the papers are bright and patterned too for fun projects.
You can create peek-through cards, gift tags, and more to celebrate birthdays, graduation, and achievements of all sorts.
Let’s see what is in the Beautiful Balloons Suite.
The suite includes:
The Beautiful Balloons Bundle (Stamps and Dies)
The Bright and Beautiful 6″x6″ (15.2cm x 15.2cm) Designer Series Paper.
Gold Celebrations 12″ x 12″ (30.5cm x 30.5cm) Specialty Designer Series Paper. 3 sheets – 1 each of 3 designs
The Beautiful Balloons Bundle. It certainly is a fun, festive set and check the fringing die. You can create some fringed finishes on your project OR I have recently seen someone roll it up and create fringed flowers. Try that idea out. 🙂
Lots of great bright colours in the Beautiful Balloons Designer Series Paper. The colours in this paper are Azure Afternoon, Berry Burst, Blueberry Bushel, Bubble Bath, Fresh Freesia, Lemon Lime Twist, Lemon Lolly, Lost Lagoon, Misty Moonlight, Pretty Peacock.
This is the Gold Celebrations Specialty Paper.
Now what about some projects with this suite.
See how the fringing can work.
Make a Shaker card with some sequins and it has some of the Gold Specialty Paper to layer on the top of the shaker part. That’s a fun element.
You can see the Beautiful Balloons Suite in my store -> HERE.

I have another Everlasting Beauty Card for you. I have actually loved creating these cards. I’m not a huge lover of colouring but these have been relatively easy to colour.
The Waratah flower was coloured with the Pencils. The paper mat is from the Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper.
The sentiment is from the Cheerful Daisies Stamp set. It was stamped in Versamark on black card and heat embossed in white.
The Everlasting Beauty stamp set is so lovely. It’s great that many of these lovely flowers are found in Australia.
If you would like this stamp set to create beautiful projects then you can grab this from my store -> HERE. Please use the Host Code: QXJQDQ9U OR contact me directly.
I hope you get to create some beautiful cards with this set.
I’m sharing this card with you today but I can tell you it nearly didn’t happen. I coloured the flowers from the Everlasting Beauty stamp set – and I hated it! I tossed it aside and that was my crafting done for the day. Do you ever feel like that??
The next day I picked it up. I still didn’t love it but thought maybe I could do something with it. So I finished the card and actually it wasn’t so bad. So here it is.
The flowers were coloured with the Stampin’ Blends. And the flowers were stamped in Gorgeous Grape on White card to create a background. The Old Olive card strip was embossed with the Stripes and Splatters 3D Embossing Folder. The sentiment is from the Go-To Greetings Stamp Set.
So I thought I would share – if you feel discouraged with a card firstly, don’t be hard on yourself. If need be step away from it, put it aside. Later maybe come back with fresh eyes and see that it may not be too bad. And really aren’t we our worst critic.
Have a Happy day and Be Kind to yourself.
Jenny

I recently held my Winter Crafternoon event at a local Tea Room. It’s always such a lovely afternoon of crafting and Devonshire Tea. I thought I would share some photos with you especially if you missed it all on Facebook and Instagram.
Gift Bags I made for everyone.
I purchased the brown gift bags from a local discount shop and dressed them up with the Les Shoppes Designer Series Paper shopfronts. The paper mat pieces under the shopfronts were using retired Designer Series Paper.
Here is a close-up of 2 of them.
Isn’t’ the sentiment just so sweet?? 🙂 This is from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set.
We have the Treat Bags. I added some retired Glimmer Paper and ribbon and of course a chocolate treat. It’s a must isn’t it. 😉 The topper of the bag was using the retired paper to match the Gift Bags.
Some of the crafting fun.
And Yummy Devonshire Tea. This was held at Sugar, Butter, Eggs Tea Room if you are in the Woonona area. You really must go.
I think this will be a regular event on the calendar each year. It is such a special time.
If you are local you need to join us. Contact me to keep up to date with the happening events.
