FRIDAY FLICKS – 5 WAYS WITH PRETTY PAPER + VIDEO!

Jenny Hayward

Today for our Video I have put together some ideas for you to drag out some of that stashed paper that you are storing up for a special occasion and actually use it. Friday Flicks is showing 5 Ways to use your Pretty Paper!

I will share the cards and general measurements below the video. If you are receiving this update by email and the video is not showing then head to the Blog Post or it is now on Youtube as well.

Have you subscribed to my Youtube Channel yet? Be sure too so you don’t miss out on any videos. Head -> Here.

Below is the Flower and Field Strips card that was featured in the video.

The measurements are below.

White Mat – 13.8cm x 9.5cm 5 x 3 3/4″

Strip 1 – 13.4cm x 4.3cm 4 7/8″ x 1 3/4″

Strip 2 – 13.4cm x 3cm 4 7/8″ x 1 1/8″

Strip 3 – 13.4cm x 1.5cm 4 7/8″ x 5/8″

Card 2. Turn and Flip (Inspired by a card by Klompen stampers)

The sizes for cutting can be any measurements. These are my suggestions.

Cut paper to 14.4cm x 10.1cm 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″

Cut the paper at 7cm 3″

Turn anti-clockwise and cut each paper at 8.4cm approximately 4″. Flip over 2 of the pieces and adhere straight to the card front.

Card 3: Paper Blocks (Inspired by a card by Lisa Pretto)

Cut 2 pieces of paper. They can be the same piece but reverse one side – 1) 8cm x 9.5 3 1/8″ x 3 3/4″ 2) 8cm x 7cm 3 1/8″ x 2 3/4″

Card 4: Half piece

14.4cm x 10.1cm 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″ Cut the piece in half and flip one.

Card 5: This works well with a large flower print.

Fussy cut the flowers leaving an edge around the flowers. Raise up off the card with Dimensionals. Use a different pattern print for the card front. TIP: Use vellum between the pieces to break the elements up.

5 Cards and there are so many other ways too which I will share soon.

Hope you like this video and ideas.

Have a great day,

Jenny

SALE-A-BRATION, HEAL YOUR HEART!

Jenny Hayward

There hasn’t been a lot I have seen with this stamp set. I think the sentiments are really lovely though for those “hard to do” cards. The occasions that we struggle with.

The Heal Your Heart stamp set would be just the right set.

These projects below are created by Stampin’ Up! Artists.

Create a little gift box for some special treats. The flowers are created with the Dandy Wishes Dies.

And a soft delicate card created with the Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper. What a beautiful saying this is. Add some vellum behind your sentiment to soften the paper if you feel it is too busy. It helps separate the paper and sentiment so it stands out more.

Hopefully they are not cards you need to make too often but it’s nice to have a stamp just for that occasion.

The Heal Your Heart set is a Free choice for Sale-A-Bration with your qualifying orders over $90.

Sale-A-Bration ends THIS SUNDAY FEB 28.

Don’t delay. Whether you choose this set or there are some other great stamps and pretty papers to choose.

Check them out in my store -> HERE. You can order there directly if you are in Australia or contact me directly on 0439 844574. Don’t wait too long though.

Happy Stamping,

MASKED BACKGROUND WITH THE NEW STAMPIN’ UP! BLENDING BRUSHES

Jenny Hayward

Have you seen the new Stampin’ Up! Blending Brushes?? I have had mine for a couple of weeks but have just pulled them out this week. I have been having so much fun with them. How soft and delicate are the bristles!! They are lovely.

On yesterday’s Facebook Live I used the brushes on the card and shared some tips in using them.

The edited video is now on Youtube. I will add it below too. If you are receiving this blog post via email it might not show up so head to my blog or you can go to Youtube directly.

I will be sharing some more cards with the Blending Brushes very soon so watch out for them.

A couple of tips with using them though. You will want to treat them differently than the sponges or the Daubers.

  • When picking up the ink from the inkpad you will want to “rub gently” not dab like you might with the sponges.
  • Dab off a little on scrap paper first. I do this with the sponges anyway.
  • When applying ink to your card move in a circular motion with light pressure.
  • Hold the brush down towards the brush head.
  • If you are sponging the whole card start off the edge of the card and work lightly in.

I hope these tips help. I will put together a video soon sharing some cool ways of using the brushes.

Here is the card from the video. I have used the Dragonfly Garden on the card.

On the Dragonfly I stamped the “solid” wing stamp on the wing outline in Blushing Bride and then coloured just the tip of the wings with the Soft Seafoam Stampin’ Write Marker or you can use the Stampin’ Blends.

The Blending Brushes are available in my store now -> HERE. for $21 AUD

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #118 – WHAT’S THIS NEW BASIC WHITE CARD?

Jenny Hayward

Wednesday’s WOW! #118. You might have heard about some new White card that Stampin’ Up! has. Today let’s check it out closer to see how the Basic White compares to the previous Whisper White.

Sadly the previous Whisper White card and other products ended. So a frantic dash was made to source a new card. It was important that the new White card performed to the expectations that we as crafters need for all the stamping and techniques we do.

The new Basic White card seems to have passed the quality tests and it is now available in cardstock and envelopes and great to use for all your stamping, great for colouring with the Stampin’ Blends and for many of the Techniques you love to do.

I don’t need to say too much more about it as you can check out how it performs and with a little more explanation in the video -> HERE.

If you need some new White cardstock it is now available in my store.

Basic White -> HERE. Thick Whisper White -> HERE.

Keep on creating,

Jenny

FLOWER AND FIELD FLOWER CARD!

Jenny Hayward

Have you seen the lovely Flower and Field Designer Series Paper?? One side has some great flower patterns and the other side has more plain prints.

Flower and Field DSP

For the card I am sharing today I have used 2 of the papers. I love how they work together. And, the card is oh so easy to put together!

The flowers were fussy cut from one of the prints and I love how it contrasted so well with the stripey print. I added the Vellum rectangle, cut from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies, to help highlight the flowers so they don’t get so lost among the stripes. A simple sentiment from the Many Messages stamp set and cut with the Messages Die.

You can grab this Flower and Field Designer Series Paper Free with your orders over $90 for Sale-A-Bration. Or choose any of the other sets. Less than 2 weeks left!

HEY BIRTHDAY CHICK POP OUT SWING CARD + VIDEO!

Jenny Hayward

Friday Flicks. I have a fun card for you in today’s video. This video is a replay from my Facebook Live on Wednesday. I created a Pop Out Swing Card with the Hey Birthday Chick Bundle. I have made a few of these over the years and I love making them. It has been a while so thought I would pull it out again and freshen it up.

Here is the card for you first.

Hey Chick Pop Out Swing Card _ Inside

It is now also uploaded to Youtube -> HERE. (Have you subscribed to my Youtube channel yet. I’m shooting for 200 subscribers by the end of the month so head on over there) 🙂

MAKE YOUR OWN POP OUT SWING CARD

The video will show you the details. I will give you general details and measurements below.

Base card is a standard size card. Designer Series paper is 4mm (1/8″) smaller. I used the Balmy Blue pattern in the Subtles pack New demonstrators receive free in Sale-A-Bration. (They will receive a pack from each Colour Collection. 200 6″x6″ in total valued at $100)

I used the Layering Squares Dies for the window cut-out. You can use a circle or rectangle also if you wish.

The inside White card measures. 15.2cm x 12.8cm (6″ x 5″). Score at 5cm and 10cm. (2″ and 4″). Adhere to the inside of the card with the white card in the folded position. ONLY place adhesive on the back of the right hand section. Centre it inside the card to the right and at the top and bottom. Close up the card and adhere the square panel in through the window to adhere to the white bi-folded card. Only place adhesive on the back on the right hand section.

WEDNESDAY WHAT?? WHAT’S THE BEST VALUE??

Jenny Hayward

Something a little different for a Wednesday. Wednesday WHAT?

I answer some questions you might have about the products or Stampin’ Up! If you have a question you would like an answer too then drop me a comment or email and I can help you.

I get asked a lot about the products and what people should get. Of course, everyone wants the best value for their money – and of course why not!

When it comes to Stampin’ Up! do you know what THE best value is??

It is … to join the Stampin’ Up! family.

Why is that such a great value??

You get more for your money in the beginning (and you don’t pay shipping on that first order). And then you get a minimum discount of 20%. That’s pretty good right??

What more do you get for that?

  • Of course, a fun crafting community in a team group or with other Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators.
  • Access to the products early. YAY!
  • Joining in at exclusive Demonstrator only events.
  • Joining in on my JEN’s INK team get togethers and sharing with them.
  • AND… There is no expectation to “sell” or “Demonstrate”. Just enjoy the discount for yourself BUT if you choose to you can “sell” to family and friends and new-found crafting friends. No pressure though.

Now with Sale-A-Bration you get an extra bonus of 200 6″x6″ papers from the Stampin’ Up! Colour Collections. (That’s an extra $100 value).

Free papers with SAB

If you are in Australia and don’t have a Demonstrator – come along and join my JEN’s INK Team.

Most of my team members are “hobbyists”. I think we are all Hobbyists as we love our “hobby” of crafting. Some just take it a little further and may “sell” to family and friends and others. There is no obligation. I welcome all types of crafters.

I look forward to welcoming you to my team.

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to message me or you can phone me on 0439 844574. Need to know more?? Head to this page on my blog –> HERE which might explain it all a little more. It even has the link there to join along.

Just get your shopping list together for $235 of products and be ready to pay only $169. You won’t be charged any shipping either.

Have a great day,

Jenny

FLOWER AND FIELD – PAPER DAISIES!

Jenny Hayward

I’m loving the paper for Sale-A-Bration. Are you??

Today’s card uses the lovely Flower and Field Designer Series Paper. It can seem dark and heavy but the trick is to use small pieces – and to add some pops of colour. For this card I added some Daffodil Delight and have a Granny Apple Green card base.

I used the Daisy print for this one and added some daisies with the Medium Daisy Punch. I saw that idea on a card on Pinterest. It never occurred to me to use that before with the paper. The sentiment is from the So Sentimental stamp set and diecut with the Stitched So Sweetly Die.

Less than 3 weeks left for Sale-A-Bration. Don’t miss out. Check all the pretty papers and choices -> HERE

Pick your Free Choice Free with a qualifying order. In Australia? Order over $90 (Level 1) or $180 (Level 2). But remember if you have lots then it is so much better value to join the family.
